• "Good place to rest after a days travel"

  01 October 2018

  "Fantastic showers after a long trip and good location close to town the only criticism is that although there are braai facilities there is nowhere to sit in front of an open fire in the eveing perhaps a small area could be made for this"

• "Disappoint"

  "We stayed at Monate on our trip up to the Kgalagadi and were due to stay there again tomorrow on our return but have decided to drive the extra 550km to Colesberg."

• "Ideal Stopover"

  "This is an ideal stopover en route to Kgalagadi and Namibia. The facilities are well maintained and clean. We enjoyed our stay and will certainly be back."

• "Misleading"

  16 February 2018

  "No one was there to check us in and it was 2pm! I had to call on arrival and even then no one came to the front, just told us the gate code. I had to call again once we were in to find out what the WiFi password was and to enquire about the game drive thats advertised! Its veen a no enter zone for over a year. Very misleading as its the only reason we booked.Not a lot of grass, would never swim in the pool. Bathrooms were clean."

• "Accomodation ok but need better organisation"

  02 October 2017

  "Loved the clean ablutions with plenty of hot water.It is very frustrating and disappointing when you arrive and there is no-one there to help you or direct you.We got into the camp site by accident behind some other vehicles. When we phoned the lady she said she would come through. We saw no-one. We had paid already which was a pity as we could have stayed free as no-one came to see us !! At least we did not feel guilty !The pool was unusable and in bad state. in fact that and the site in general resemble nothing like the photos on the web page !!But it was ok for what we needed"

• "Too expensive"

• "Watching the lightning and listening to the thunder and not getting wet !"

  12 May 2017

  "We were impressed with the ablution block. Beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean including the wash-up facility.We were disappointed that we had some trouble getting in as there was no one to meet us. The gate was locked and the cell phone numbers on the gate were not answered when we called. We hooted at the gate and a lady appeared who gave us the gate code.we were also somewhat disappointed that at the campsites we chose (several of them) the current was out of order.The noise of the traffic was a little upsetting while we were awake, but did not wake us or keep us awake at night."

• "Monate Lodge Camping"

  10 April 2017

  "We really enjoyed our stay. The chalet was clean and well equipped and our hosts were friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Will definitely stay over there again when we are in the area."

• "Majestic setting"

  27 February 2016

  "11 guys from PE were pleasantly surprised by the neat, spacious and well stocked self catering units. The setting is a rustic and magnificent Kalahari setting. We were stunned by a majestic sunset which will remain in our memories for some time. Some Springbuck were feeding close by and we had a refreshing swim in the pool. Most enjoyable."

  "The chalets are comfortable and have all the required necessities. However, I wil not call it luxurious as the advertisement did. Basic stuff, nothing exceptional. Peacefull and quite and lovely to have the buck roaming so close. <br />The game drive is not suitable for ordinary motor cars as advised at reception. <br />"

• "Wide open spaces"

  18 August 2014

  "This is a great camping site for a stopover en route to Kgalagadi or Namibia - clean, comfortable, spacious, safe and organised, with welcoming, friendly hosts. We first stayed here in 2008 and six years later it is as lovely as we remembered it. We will definitely be back. Thank you."
