“Wonderful property but lacking maintenance.”
+The view from the main house is amazing and there was ample space to accommodate the number of guests.
−A number of appliances and some plugs were not working. A plumber need to be called to unblock drains affecting the kitchen area and ablutions in the main house. The shower drains in the separate rooms were also blocked. The number of and steepness of stairs was not ideal for elderly. Some of the stairs needed handrails for safety. There was not sufficient cutlery and crockery supplied for the number of guests accommodated. General lack of maintenance which would be expected for the price paid.

“House needs tlc. For the price one pays, I feel these should be dealt with”
+Large , with ample space for everyone. Beautiful view
−Some appliances were not working (dishwasher, ice machine, drink fridge in bar area). I had seen this on previous reviews and asked about it. Was assured it was sorted. It was not. Also toilet leaking in one of the bedrooms

“HORRIBLE”
−We had issues with the plumbing we had a day were the sewage came up into the basins. We did not have a good experience There were alot of maintenance that needed to be done Lights not working Doorhandles missing Main door not closing properly Upstairs no hot water This place is run down Will not recommend for the price you pay. Spoke to some of the locals at Mabilingwe about that property and it doesn't have a very good reputation

“Beautiful lodge. Bad service from the hosts.”
+The property is beautiful, very spacious and in a great location.
−On arrival, the property was a mess. It was filthy and not ready for occupation. Cleaning stuff arrived 4 hours after check in to clean the lodge, rushed. It has been 2 weeks since checking out, and we still don’t have our deposit back, with zero communication from the lodge, my emails are ignored, and WhatsApp messages are blueticked.

−I did not get my booking yet I booked and paid in advance, the agent double booked the unit, we had to settle for another unit which we found dirty and it couldn't even accommodate all of us. some of the people had to sleep in the car. the agent promised to look for another property that will accomodate all of us the next day which she didn't do and she never bothered to check on us. some of the group members want their refund from me which I don't have. booking .com must refund us because we paid directly to them. We didn't have hot water in all the bathrooms, the pool was Dirty.

“Our first time in a game/nature reserve was a great one. We enjoyed the house, it felt like a home away from home.”
+There is ample space to sit down as a group in different sections of the house. This was an advantage as we had booked for a weekend. The open kitchen also meant a lot of us could be in the kitchen at the same time, helping and cooking. The beds were also amazing, we didn’t struggle to sleep at all.
−The electricity sometimes tripped which we attributed to the weather. The stairs were a bit of a chore, but by the time we left we had gotten used to them.

“Stunning view!”
+The view and setup of the house is amazing! Close to a small watering hole. The braai and fire area are great! The view is absolutely beautiful! We had some nyala, kudu and warthog visit us! Great breakaway.
−There are a few appliances not working in the house and some things could be fixed such as light fittings, lights, shower heads, stair railings. We didn't complain about these things because they didn't really affect our stay.
