Rustic, relaxing, horse riding was amazing, would highly recommend this gem! We were greeted by the host who was very welcoming. He arranged our afternoon horse ride which was incredible (well trained horses). The accommodation was exactly what we needed for our birthday celebration getaway. Alongside the river is so peaceful and private. We will definitely be back. Thank you for the great hospitality!

Would definitely recommend it. There is everything you need. We had an incredibly nice stay. It was very peaceful and we were able to rest well. It's not far out of town and easy to drive into quickly if needed.

Sal dit ongetwyfeld aanbeveel. Daar is alles wat jy nodig het. Ons het ongelooflik lekker gebly. Baie rustig gewees en ons kon goed uitrus. Dit is nie ver uit die dorp nie en maklik om gou in te ry indien nodig.

The farm and house were incredibly beautiful. We had a very nice stay. Would love to stay again. Really value for money.

Die plaas en huis was ongelooflik mooi. Ons het baie lekker gebly. Sal graag weer wil gaan bly. Regtig waarde vir geld.

Blissful, quiet and peaceful. Very peaceful and blissful. Lovely place to just relax, walk and watch wildlife. Old Mollie the dog was an absolute delight.

Salig, stil en rustig. Baie rustig en salig. Lieflike plek om net te ontspan, te stap en wild te kyk. Ou Mollie die hond was 'n absolute plesier.

Reasonable. It is a beautiful place. Unfortunately, there was an unforeseen crisis, which dampened the stay a bit. Still, I would recommend it, as you can see a lot of love and care has been put into the lodge.

Redelik. Dit is 'n pragtige plekkie. Ongelukkig was daar 'n onvoorsiene krisis, wat die verblyf effe gedemp het. Tog sal ek dit aanbeveel, aangesien mens kan sien daar baie liefde en sorg in die lodge gesit is.

Thank you for the positive feedback and your patience with our unexpected staffing crisis for which we could not arrange an alternative at such a late stage. Regards, Magdel Daniel (owner)

Dankie vir die positiewe terugvoer en julle geduld met ons onverwagte personeelkrisis waarvoor ons nie op so 'n laat stadium 'n alternatief kon reël nie. Groete, Magdel Daniel (eienaar)

Home away from home. If you are looking for a place that feels like a home away from home, with friendly people, excellent service, good company, clean atmosphere Thandile Country Lodge is the perfect place. It's perfect for when you just want to be calm or looking for inspiration. We can't wait to go again.

Huis weg van die huis af. As jy soek na 'n plek wat voel soos 'n huis weg van die huis af, met vriendelike mense, uitstekende diens, goeie geselskap, skoon atmosfeer is Thandile Country Lodge die perfekte plek. Dis perfek vir as jy net rustig wil wees of inspirasie soek. Ons kan nie wag om weer te gaan nie.

Wonderful place where nature comes close. Not far from Bela-Bela, on the road to Alma, lies Thandile Country Lodge, with host Kobus and hostess Magdel, a dozen loose horses with each their own story, geese and dogs, greenery, a natural swimming pool in the dam, on the edge of nature. A wonderful peaceful place, where the night is still dark. For the golf lovers: Elements Golf Course (SA no. 14) is a 20-minute drive away (Friday and Saturday busy, the other days of the week: quiet).

Heerlijke plek waar de natuur dichtbij komt. Niet ver van Bela-Bela, aan de weg naar Alma, ligt Thandile Country Lodge, met gastheer Kobus en gastvrouw Magdel, een tiental loslopende paarden met allemaal hun eigen verhaal, ganzen en honden, groen, een natuurlijk zwembad in de dam, aan de rand van de natuur. Een heerlijke rustige plek, waar de nacht nog donker is. Voor de golfliefhebbers : Elements Golf Course (SA nr. 14) ligt op 20 minuten rijden (vrijdag en zaterdag druk bezet, de overige dagen van de week: rustig).

Different experience for a city kid. We had a very nice stay once we got over the initial 'shock'. A lot of renovation work still needs to be done and the general feeling is 'neglect'. Forest house where we stayed was clean and very well equipped with a nice view, but no mention of the one single bed mattress. It's not suitable for an adult. Host would surely have changed the mattress if we had complained about it; we didn't raise it because our stay was only for 2 nights. Host and wife and workers very friendly and pleasant. We really enjoyed the farm pond experience. The 'pond' is clean and well located. It was a nice experience, but we wouldn't necessarily choose to go back.

Anderste ervaring vir 'n stadsjapie. Ons het baie lekker gebly toe ons oor die aanvanklike 'skok' gekom het. Baie ooknappingswerk moet nog gedoen word en die algemene gevoel is 'verwaarlosing'. Boshuis waar ons tuisgegaan het, was skoon en baie goed toegerus met 'n mooi uitsig, maar daar geen sprake van die een enkelbedmatras nie. Dis nie geskik vir 'n volwassene nie. Gasheer sou sekerlik matras geruil het as ons daaroor gekla het; ons het dit nie geopper nie want ons verblyf was slegs vir 2 nagte. Gasheer en -vrou en werkers baie vriendelik en aangenaam. Ons het die plaasdam-ervaring baie geniet. Die 'dam' is skoon en goed geleë. Dit was n lekker ervaring, maar ons sal nie noodwendig kies om terug te gaan nie.

Thanks for the feedback Cornel. The renovation work is unfortunately an expensive process after COVID but we try to do something every day to get our place back to where it was before the pandemic. You were very pleasant guests.

Dankie vir die terugvoer Cornel. Die opknappingswerk is ongelukkig 'n duur proses na COVID maar ons probeer elke dag iets doen om ons plek weer te kry waar dit was voor die pandemie. Julle was baie aangename gaste.

Worse place I have ever been. Not the same as their website. The unit wasn't in good condition for guests. Kitchen units were broken, stoves weren't working properly. Toilets were dirty. Walls full of spiderwebs. Bedroom wasn't clean.

Thank you for the feedback, but unfortunately, this is not factual and can be confirmed by other guests who stayed in the same cottage before you and at another cottage next to you during the same period. You arrived with 5 guests after booking for only 4. We accommodated your guest at an additional per-night cost, which you were also unhappy with and insisted it is R400.00 for the whole weekend for your extra, unpermitted guest. It is malicious to misrepresent yourself and then try to reflect the blame. So sorry the property was not up to your standards. Have a lovely day.

A very peaceful place to relax, we really enjoyed our stay. The owners were very friendly and always attentive and met all our requests.

'n Baie rustige plek om te ontspan, ons het regtig ons verblyf geniet. Die eienaars was baie vriendelik en altyd aandagtig en het al ons versoeke geakkommodeer.
