“Not a place for long term stay”
+The view was great with lots of animals on the plain.
−The was a lot of road works around in the area. You could not self drive in the reserve. Hot tub was a problem to get it warmed up. There was very little places to visit in the area. not very romantic for a Honeymoon suite.

+The place has exceeded our expectations. The Sunset views are so perfect, the little Jacuzzi/Swimming pool is so perfect for two we loved it. We didn't really need a game drive because the animals came right by our cabin😂 Rhinos, Wilderbees, Impala, Zebras, Giraffes, warthog. We're definitely coming back for the Peaceful atmosphere and the beautiful scenery, not forgetting the fantastic stuff.
−Honestly, Nothing!

“Highly recommend this place if you wanna pause and connect with your partner and nature. Even family”
+We recently spent a romantic weekend at Bushveld Venue, and it was nothing short of breathtaking! Highlights: Our luxurious honeymoon suite boasted stunning views and impeccable cleanliness. Self-catering facilities were top-notch, with every utensil we needed. Outdoor shower and bona area were perfect for relaxation - thanks to our host for the fire assistance! Privacy respected, yet helpful staff provided excellent info and safari drive bookings. Thoughtful touches like warm blankets for our morning safari drive made us feel special. We highly recommend this incredible venue for any couple seeking a peaceful, romantic escape. We will definitely return - next time with our kids for a family getaway in their family suite! Special thanks to Deon and Zelda, our lovely hosts who made our stay unforgettable! Morning safari drive with warm blankets - lovely touch! Unforgettable Lion Safari Drive at Bushveld Venue and Mabula. Tshepo from Mabula Safari was our knowledgeable and friendly guide! Saw the mighty Lions in their natural habitat - breathtaking! Also spotted other incredible animals. Highly recommend Bushveld Venue's in Mabula safari drives - we'll book again on our next family v
−I think next time I will include breakfast in our booking.

“Very average for R5000 per day”
+View stunning, location pool, staff friendliness and very friendly.
−We had to bring our own toiletries, which we did. We expected there to be soap in the bathrooms, however there was none . The fridge was very small for a 6 sleeper lodge . I know we in the bush but we felt the lodge we stayed in could have been cleaned better, spiders in bed, could be from the thatch.

“I loved the set up from the main entrance till the to the venue......”
+1. The quietness of the area. 2. The building structures 3. Viewing of wildlife/ wild animals 4. Friendliness of the host. 5. Access control 6. Area is refreshing, and is far from shops, and that make the guests to have more time together and more time to relax sway from busy daily chaos.
−The part where the road is gravel, which is not the big deal because I think it also discourages the criminal activities.
