Bitterly delicious. We had a lovely weekend at Tholo Lodge. Incredible view and a nice living house. We had a little trouble with the oven, but they were quick to come and help us out.

Bitter lekker. Ons het 'n heerlike naweek gehad by Tholo Lodge. Ongelooflike uitsig en 'n lekker leefhuis. Ons het bietjie gesukkel met die oond, maar hulle was vinnig daar om ons te kom uithelp.

Ladies break away. Tholo Lodge was fantastic. The house is incredibly beautiful, large and has everything you need for any getaway. The owner, Lynette, was always available and helped us with extras on short notice without any problems. We were welcomed by Andrew who took us through the house and explained where everything was and how everything worked. After that he even helped to unload our vehicles and take everything into the house. Andrew was also our personal chef for breakfast on Saturday morning and he was extremely professional and friendly. The breakfast was delicious and the whole group enjoyed it. Everything and everyone at Tholo Lodge is amazing and exceeded our expectations. We did a game drive through Mabalingwe itself and not through Tholo Lodge. Our guide had even heard of Tholo Lodge and also said that he had only heard good things about the Lodge. He also said that he knows Andrew and that Andrew is a very good person. We would definitely recommend Tholo Lodge to anyone. You won't regret it at all and you can be assured of a wonderful getaway. Regards. WRB Ladies.

Dames wegbreek. Tholo Lodge was fantasties. Die huis is ongelooflik mooi, groot en het alles wat mens nodig het vir enige wegbreek. Die eienaar, Lynette, was altyd beskikbaar en het ons op kort kennis met ekstras gehelp sonder enige probleme. Ons is verwelkom deur Andrew wat ons deur die huis geneem het en verduidelik het waar alles is en hoe alles werk. Daarna het hy selfs gehelp om ons voertuie af te laai en alles in die huis te neem. Andrew was ook ons persoonlike chef vir ontbyt Saterdagoggend en hy was vreeslik professioneel en vriendelik. Die ontbyt was heerlik en die hele groep het dit geniet. Alles en almal by Tholo Lodge is ongelooflik en het ons verwagtinge oortref. Ons het 'n wildrit deur Mabalingwe self gedoen en nie deur Tholo Lodge nie. Ons gids het selfs van Tholo Lodge gehoor en het ook gesê dat hy net goeie dinge gehoor het van die Lodge. Hy het ook gesê dat hy Andrew ken en dat Andrew 'n baie goeie mens is. Ons sal beslis Tholo Lodge aanbeveel vir enige iemand. Jy sal glad nie spyt wees nie en jy kan verseker wees van 'n wonderlike wegbreek. Groete. WRB Dames.

Luxurious value for money. The accommodation exceeded all expectations. The unit is very spacious with every amenity you could possibly want. We were a large group with teenagers and a toddler. Everybody was entertained. The braai area, pool and jacuzzi are all well integrated and part of the house. The inside braai area and covered gas braai make cooking possible in any weather. The unit is completely isolated and is surrounded by beautiful nature. We had a fantastic long weekend and will definitely return. I would, however, recommend renting a vehicle or having a 4x4 if you are not planning to only lounge by the pool. The trek down the side of the mountain is very rocky.

Great, except no directions to get to the lodge. Everything great except no modifications to the lodge. It's 30 minutes from the gate, on a dirt road with no signs pointing to it. It is not even on the Mabalingwe map.

Wonderlik, behalwe geen aanwysings om by die lodge uit te kom nie. Alles wonderlik, behalwe geen aanwysigings na die lodge nie. Dit is 30 minute van die hek af, op 'n grondpad sonder bordjies wat na verwys. Dit is selfs nie op die Mabalingwe-kaart nie.

Dankie vir jou terugvoer, Philip. Ons waardeer dit opreg. Hoop julle kom weer kuier. Sal probeer om die aanwysings duideliker deur te gee.

Fantastic getaway weekend with children and grandchildren in a beautiful environment. We had a very nice stay. However, the house needs basic maintenance such as e.g. water that runs out very slowly in the sinks and showers. The showers need shelves to e.g. to be able to put shampoo on. The electrical connections on some of the lights need attention. Overall I would recommend the house, nice and spacious with good facilities.

Fantastiese wegbreek naweek saam kinders en kleinkinders in 'n mooi omgewing. Ons het baie lekker gebly. Die huis kort egter basiese onderhoud soos bv. water wat baie stadig uitloop in die wasbakke en storte. Die storte benodig rakkies om bv. sjampoe op te kan sit. Die elektriese koppelings op van die ligte moet aandag kry. Oor die algemeen sal ek die huis aanbeveel, lekker ruim met goeie fasiliteite.

Special, relaxing time with family! Tholo Game Lodge was a treat! Very private and set up for luxurious relaxation and entertainment. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Only complaint is we couldn't stay longer!

Amazing. Had a few issues with the inverter during load-shedding, so struggled with electricity and hot water during load-shedding, but the rest of the stay was amazing.

Thank you for your valued feedback P.R. Henry did re-set the inverter once you reported it and we believe everything was in order from there on forward as we never received any further communication from you. Loadshedding should not affect hot water supply though. As load shedding lasted 2 hours and the geysers are properly isolated to ensure that the water will remain hot. We furthermore have backup lights throughout the lodge in the event that the inverter experience issues.

Dankie vir jou gewaardeerde terugvoer P.R. Henry het die omskakelaar heringestel sodra jy dit aangemeld het en ons glo dat alles van daar af in orde was, aangesien ons nooit enige verdere kommunikasie van jou ontvang het nie. Beurtkrag behoort egter nie warmwatertoevoer te beïnvloed nie. Aangesien beurtkrag 2 ure geduur het en die geisers behoorlik geïsoleer is om te verseker dat die water warm bly. Ons het verder rugsteunligte regdeur die lodge in die geval dat die omskakelaar probleme ondervind.

Great view. Water and other problems made our stay unpleasant. With little understanding from our host.

Hi Marietjie As I tried to explain to you during your stay was that we are reliant on the greater Mabalingwe for water supply. As soon as load shedding starts (We experienced phase 6 loadshedding) we don't get the same amount of water (Even though we do have an inverter). The inverter will pump whatever we receive from the park. Unfortunately due to a busy weekend and high demand there were periods of less supply. Supply disruptions due to Elephant activity are also not within our control. . You did not report any other problems to us during your stay and therefore we are not able to respond. We are somewhat surprised by your commentary about our lack of understanding. We can only respond or assist if we are made aware of issues you experience during your short stay with us. We are sorry that you did not enjoy your stay.

5-Star forest accommodation. No request on our part was too much trouble for Lynette, the detail and attention given was incredible. The house is stylishly and luxuriously furnished with anything you can think of. One night was hopelessly too short to be able to enjoy and appreciate everything! Thank you Lynette, we will definitely come back again!

5-Ster bosverblyf. Geen versoek van ons kant af was te veel moeite vir Lynette nie, die detail en aandag wat gegee was, was ongelooflik. Die huis is stylvol en luuks gemeubileer met enige iets waaraan jy kan dink. Een nag was hopeloos te kort om alles te kon geniet en waardeer! Dankie Lynette, ons gaan definitief weer terugkom!
