Very nice atmosphere. It was very nice, but can't say too much because we were only there for 1 night.

Baie lekker atmosfeer. Dit was baie lekker, maar kan nie te veel sê nie, want ons was maar net vir 1 aand daar.

Friendly people, but the place needs upgrading. Service and people are very friendly. They accommodated us to be able to check in earlier and get ready for a wedding we were attending nearby. We were also grateful for the free WiFi. The accommodation was probably ok, only stayed one night and was little in the place itself. I wasn't shocked by the state of the place because the other reviews had prepared me. I did really hope they were listening to what was being said. But they need an upgrade of everything. Everything is old. It wasn't really clean either. Bedding was dirty or stained. Glasses for water were dirty. Pillows were flat and uncomfortable. The toilet leaked toilet water on the floor every time you used it. Faucets are not opened often because it's just brown water when you first open it. The bedside lamp didn't work and the ceiling fan made a lot of noise, so you couldn't sleep with it on; it was a damn hot night. The place is not used and almost feels like a ghost town. We and friends (whom I referred to) were the only people there, one would actually think the rooms would be spotless. It's a shame, because there are many expensive lodges in the area that hold weddings and you lack affordable accommodation for those who cannot stay at the lodges. They are going to have to push money in to get the place back on its feet.

Vriendelike mense, maar die plek kort opgradering. Diens en mense is baie vriendelik. Hulle het ons tegemoetgekom om vroeër te kan inklok en reg te kan maak vir 'n troue wat ons bygewoon het daar naby. Ons was ook dankbaar vir die gratis WiFi. Die verblyf was seker ok, het net een nag oorgebly en was min in die plekkie self. Ek was nie geskok oor die toestand van die plek nie, want die ander resensies het my voorberei. Ek het wel regtig gehoop hulle luister na wat gesê word. Maar hulle kort 'n opgradering van alles. Alles is oud. Dit was ook nie regtig skoon nie. Beddegoed was vuil of gevlek. Glase vir water was vuil. Kussings was plat en ongemaklik. Die toilet het toiletwater gelek oor die vloer elke keer as jy dit gebruik het. Krane word nie gereeld oopgemaak nie, want dit is net bruin water as jy dit eerste keer oopmaak. Die bedlampie het nie gewerk nie en die dakwaaier het baie lawaai gemaak, so mens kon nie met hom aan slaap nie; dit was 'n vrek warm nag. Die plek word nie gebruik nie en voel amper soos 'n spookdorpie. Ons en vriende (wat ek verwys het) was die enigste mense daar, mens sal dan eintlik dink die kamers gaan spotless wees. Dis baie jammer, want daar is baie duur lodges in die omgewing wat troues hou en mens kort bekostigbare verblyf vir die wat nie by die lodges kan oorbly nie. Hulle gaan moet geld instoot om die plek weer op die been te kry.

hi Annerike I apologize if there was anything that was dirty. I know this is not an excuse, but my wife who is in charge of all the stuff has been sick because she only has one kidney. She is usually bad about all the stuff where as a man I don't really look at all that stuff. I also don't know of anyone who said anything that needed to be addressed, but I will make sure to work on the mistakes you mentioned. Thank you very much for support and sorry if als was not 100%.

hi Annerike Ek vra omverskoning as daar iets was wat vuil was. Ek weet dit is nie 'n verskoning nie, maar my vrou wat in beheer van al die goed is, was af siek omdat sy net een nier het. Sy is gewoonlik erg oor al die goed waar ek as man nie regtig kyk na al sulke goed nie. Ek weet ook nie van iemand wat iets gesê het wat aangespreek moes word nie, maar ek sal sorg om aan die foute te werk wat julle genoem het. Baie dankie vir ondersteuning en jammer as als nie 100% was nie.

Goeie dag Werner Ek is baie jammer weereens oor die water. Oor die netheid is ek jammer om te hoor. Julle het niks gesê nie. Ons sal seker maak om dit reg te kry. Dankie vir die terugvoer. Groete Alta

Unpleasant. There was spider web on each corner, on the roof and inside the basin cupboards. Only 1 hanger in the room. We arrived Friday, left Saturday morning until after 17h00. They did not clean the room nor take out the dust, which was full from takeaway boxes. Now the whole room was smelly as we walked in on Saturday evening.

Hi Boniswa, I sincerely apologise for the spider webs that you found in your room. My cleaners always go through the rooms in the mornings when we know someone is coming in, but one thing people must realise is that this is the bushveld. We try our best but the spiders seem to try harder. The issue with the single coat hanger, I can understand and will rectify it. My cleaners are not allowed in the room unless you specifically arrange it with me. I have to be present when they do that to avoid any other problems, like clients complaining about missing items. But thank you for bringing these matters to my attention. We strive to improve and hope that the next time you visit, you'll find that we took your words to heart. Sincerely, Dinonyane Lodge

Hallo Boniswa, Ek vra opreg om verskoning vir die spinnerakke wat jy in jou kamer gekry het. My skoonmakers gaan altyd soggens deur die kamers as ons weet iemand kom in, maar een ding wat mense moet besef is dat dit die bosveld is. Ons probeer ons bes maar dit lyk of die spinnekoppe harder probeer. Die probleem met die enkelkleedhanger, ek kan verstaan en sal dit regstel. My skoonmakers word nie in die kamer toegelaat nie, tensy jy dit spesifiek met my reël. Ek moet teenwoordig wees wanneer hulle dit doen om enige ander probleme te vermy, soos kliënte wat kla oor vermiste items. Maar dankie dat jy hierdie sake onder my aandag gebring het. Ons streef daarna om te verbeter en hoop dat die volgende keer wat jy besoek, jy sal vind dat ons jou woorde ter harte geneem het. Die uwe, Dinonyane Lodge

Delicious and pleasant. The small mistakes that were there were immediately corrected and even with loadshedding, provision was made for power and there was free WiFi the whole time which worked excellently. I would gladly recommend the place.

Heerlik en aangenaam. Die klein foutjies wat daar was is onmiddelik reggestel en selfs met loadshedding is daar voorsiening gemaak vir krag en daar was die hele tyd gratis WiFi wat uitstekend gewerk het. Ek sal die plek met graagte aanbeveel.

Disappointing, air conditioner and TV out of order. Only one bedside lamp and side table, also out of order! The two plastic chairs were very uncomfortable. My husband's chair broke and he landed on the floor. The toilet was leaking, we wanted to close the door to muffle the sound, but the door had no handle! Air conditioner, TV and bedside lamp out of order. Inferior chairs that threaten your safety. Not value for money at all.

Teleurstellend, lugversorger en TV buite werking. Slegs een bedlampie en kanttafeltjie, ook buite werking! Die twee plastiekstoele was baie ongemaklik. My man se stoel het gebreek en hy het op die vloer te lande gekom. Die toilet het gelek, ons wou die deur toemaak om geluid uit te doof, maar die deur het geen handvatsel gehad nie! Lugversorger, TV en bedlampie buite werking. Minderwaardige stoele wat jou veiligheid bedreig. Glad nie waarde vir geld nie.

Disappointing. The room was dirty and had cobwebs over the headboards - clearly not cleaned. No water in pipes and rusty pipes leave you smelling dirty after a shower. Linens were broken and torn.

Teleurstellend. Die kamer was vuil en het spinnerakke oor die kopstukke gehad - duidelik nie skoongemaak nie. Geen water in pype en geroeste pype laat jou vuil ruik na 'n stort. Linne was stukkend en geskeur.

It was lovely and peaceful. Our stay at Dinonyane Lodge was so nice and peaceful. The food is fantastic. The service is friendly and they are happy to help. And the birds' company really makes it a time to remember.

Dit was heerlik en rustig. Ons verblyf by Dinonyane Lodge was so lekker en rustig. Die kos is fantasties. Die diens is vriendelik en hulle help graag. En die voëltjies se geselskap maak dit sowaar 'n tyd om te onthou.

Very tasty and affordable. Was business in the area and accommodation was within our budget.

Baie lekker en bekostigbaar. Was besigheid in die area en akkommodasie was binne ons begroting.

Absolutely fantastic! It was really wonderful, beautiful scenery, silence and nice people with five star accommodation. I'll be back soon.

Absoluut fantasies! Dit was regtig wonderlik, pragtige natuur, stilte en gawe mense met vyfster verblyf. Ek gaan binnekort terug.
