Halfway There Game Lodge

Great and peaceful.

We had a peaceful stay. The place is so calming. I'd visit there in summer again.

Relaxing and chilled.

We would have preferred that there was a TV working in the bar for the rugby during our stay. No DStv or TV was working.

My stay was fantastic and calming.

We enjoyed our stay at the lodge. The luxury tents are beautiful and we were able to spot giraffes close to our tent in the morning, we were not so lucky to get a visit from lions. The lodge needs to improve and have a restaurant as advertised. The outside aesthetics would be better with some improvement so that the lodge looks aesthetically pleasing from the gate. Plant so lawn, put a nice paved paving and just make the whole lodge a beautiful space. Invest in a Jacuzzi and maybe a Boma fire. Those would be some nice touch-ups. Team up with other lodges for guided game drives because they are much better than self-drives. The room has an AC which is great! A TV would be a great add-up in the future. I vouch for Jacuzzis, maybe add small Jacuzzis between each tent so that the couples can have even more romantic and exciting times in the lodge. I am definitely going back to this lodge in summer!

Nice weekend break.

Comfortable and peaceful.

An adventure.

Was a very fun and peaceful getaway, just the toaster and microwave didn't work properly and the two-plate stove.

Fantasties. Vriendelik beveel enig iemand aan om daar te gaan.

Baie baie lekker soos al die vorige kere.

Peaceful.

We had a beautiful weekend and their customer service was awesome. We will definitely come back.

Diens was baie goed gewees.

Ek het dit baie geniet.

Was not the best experience had in Dinokeng; have had better.

Our arrival was not so good; GPS took us on back roads. Friendly gentleman at reception did his best as check-in, housekeeper, and barman. Had to ask for a kettle, no drain plug or wash-up cloths for dishes. Cutlery and crockery were odds and ends, not the basic equipment; we had one fork and had to ask again for these. The couch in the room had one leg bent and couldn't sit on it. Needs upkeep; maybe more hands-on in the housekeeping department checking that things are there when guests check in and not taken from rooms. The room looked exactly as on the picture, though. The walls at the cottages are not at all soundproof, and one can hear noises through these. All in all, not very relaxing. WiFi only at the bar area.

Baie rustig gewees, sal weer gaan.

Tent nr 10 is 'n bietjie meer privaat. Het een aand die leeus gehoor en sommer baie wild van die stoep af gesien.

Heerlike plek. Lekker rustig. Dafter baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig, heelwat diere gesien.

GPS vat jou op 'n pad wat nie bestaan nie. Maak seker jy klim op De Wagendrift-pad, vanaf Hammanskraal Road.

Our stay was superb.

Overall great place to visit.

Lekker gebly - goed geleë.

Ons het lekker gekuier - die kroegman wat ook die ontvangs hanteer en ook sommige huisies moes skoonmaak - is uiters vriendelik. Die tenthuise oulik ingerig en netjiese linne, maar Zips kort aandag. Nie al die panele kan toemaak nie en die wind Sondagaand het flappe gelig en was vrek koud. Van die potte lyk soos speelgoedpotjies - nie seker wie daarmee moet kosmaak nie. Die eetgerei was "odds and ends". Ons het 1 steakmes vir 2 mense gehad en ons moes 'n braaitang gaan koop het - ons s'n het uitmekaar geval. Gee net asseblief aandag aan die kombuis en basiese onderhoud aan die tente en ons sal weer gaan. My ouers se 2-plaatstofie, net een plaat gehad wat werk. Ek't die idee gekry van die eenhede mag dalk eetgerei gedeel het as daar groepe was en nooit alles teruggesit nie. 'n Basiese inventaris per huisie kan help om na te gaan. Julle het 'n mooi plek - kort net aandag aan detail.

Peaceful getaway.

The chalet at Halfway There Game Lodge is exactly the same as shown in the pictures. The only confusing part was when we were given chalet nr 1 (John Dean) instead of the Elvis Presley chalet that we had booked. Nonetheless, the John Dean chalet was clean and more or less the same as the Elvis chalet. We got stuck in traffic at first and thought we would arrive just a little after 6. We notified the manager and were told about a late arrival fee of R350, which was not mentioned in the confirmation. That was a shocker, but we managed to sort it out with the manager since we arrived later than we initially thought. It's a great place to take a break from the noisy city. I enjoyed myself a lot. I think having a game room or something similar for the kids would be a good idea, especially if it gets late to swim or if the weather doesn't allow for swimming.

Relaxing.

The Lodge is reasonably well-kept. As we were there in winter, there was little to do, except for game watching during the day, and not much in the evening.

Good stay although there's room for improvement.

You can improve by having WiFi in the rooms and also TVs. And in-house restaurant even if it's for breakfast only.

The staff were friendly and helpful, accommodation clean and tidy, premises neatly kept.

Was disappointed, fridge was not on and cold when we arrived. Feel the generator to accommodate power outage could have been working more/longer, we were unable to cook or make coffee one morning.

Geen ordentlike eetgerei nie.

Die kamers is skoon, stort se teëls is baie vuil. Geen ordentlike messe om te gebruik om vleis of iets mee te sny nie. Op die Donderdagaand wat ons daar was het hulle geweier om die generator aan te sit. Gras in die swembad. Simpel wynglase.

Check-in staff really great - fantastic sense of humour.

Room is very neat and tidy. It is showing signs of being old and needs some TLC. We were only 2 guests, the self-catering cutlery/crockery would not work for 4 people.

Awesome stay, comfortable, clean my family and i had an amazing time.

Awesome stay, comfortable, clean my family and I had an amazing time. We will definitely be back!

Naweekwegbreek met eggenote - verjaarsdagvierings.

Alles wat nodig is vir selfsorg, 2 aande in 'n ry leeus gehoor, self-bestuur wildritte baie lekker, kan ook bespreek vir 'n gids, eenhede baie netjies, net 'n waterdrukprobleem ondervind.

Die verblyf was netjies en skoon.

Alles vir 'n selfsorgeenheid was beskikbaar. Die badkamer en veral die bad moet definitief opgeknap word.

One of the best lodges.

Clean, affordable. I wish they could have room service.

They can improve by putting TV in the rooms.

See stars.

Brilliant and peaceful.

Beautiful surroundings but the downer was there was not restaurant to have a romantic meal. I would definitely recommend Halfway There but people need to be aware the there is no restaurant other than the ones at the other lodges. Website shows a full on restaurant, this needs to be removed.

Heerlik gerus.

Die Audrey Hepburn-kamer was baie netjies en goed toegerus gewees en ons het baie lekker gebly. Daar is wel paar goed wat ek wil noem. Die handdoeke is baie klein, so as jy hou van 'n groot handdoek, vat eerder jou eie saam. Die mure is nie baie klankdig nie en moes ons die hele nag hoor hoe die bure sit en gesels tot na 2 die oggend. Daar is seep en 'n sponsie vir skottelgoed was, maar geen afdrooglappe nie. Ek sou ook voorstel dat gaste vooraf ingelig word van load shedding-tye.

Aangenaam.

Lugversorger se gas was leeg. Dit sou goed wees as daar 'n boekie in die eenheid was met dinge om te doen, restaurante ens. in die omgewing. Die klerk by die toonbank is baie vriendelik, maar het self ook geen kennis van die omgewing nie.

Aangenaam.

Aanwysings swak. Posh Funksions was die eintlike naam en nie Halfway There nie.

Middelmatig. So-so.

Webblad sê Groot 5, maar dis glad nie waar nie. Seker in sekere plekke. Ons het 4 ure gery om wild te sien. Net 2 sebras en 2 bokke, dis al. WiFi werk nie in kamers nie. Sal eerder vriende moet vra oor die beste plekke om te gaan en waarde vir jou geld te kry. Nogal jammer.

I really enjoyed our time spent in the lodge.

I would like to bring this up to you that there was squirrel that kept coming from the roof, running on top of the roof. The hot water in the bathroom tap comes out very slowly. The shower release dirty water first when you open the tap. Kitchen utensils are not enough, there was no egg lifter and wooden spoon for cooking pap. But over all l am happy.

Quiet and relaxing with lots of animals to see.

See stars.

Heerlik gekuier, baie diere gesien.

Heerlik gekuier, baie vriendelik en die diere is pragtig. Kan dit regtig aanbeveel.

Gemaklik en veilig. Net nie baie diere gesien nie.

Vriendelike personeel. Net jammer die restaurant was nie in werking nie as gevolg van Covid, maar heel party ander lodges in Dinokeng het restaurante. Sou dink dat Halfway Lodge wel restaurant kan open met veiligheid? Hul het 'n snoepie, maar daar is skaars iets beskikbaar.

Was lekker en rustig

Was lekker, hulle kon net bietjie meer moeite met inligting en kaart verskaf, veral vir eerste keer besoekers, beddens baie hard en kussings, verder was dit okay vir 'n naweek.

Baie rustig.

Baie vriendelike diens. Gerieflik en skoon.

Peaceful.

The place is perfect for unwinding after stressful year or just to connect with nature.

Baie rustig.

Heelwat diere gesien.

Nie bevredigend nie.

Daar is op die site geadverteer van 'n restaurant. Die was toe gewees. Andersins was dit lekker gewees.

Dit was of ek by familie gaan kuier het, Alma en haar span is so vriendelik en behulpsaam, mens voel sommer dadelik tuis.

Die oord is baie netjies. Dinokeng sal ek vir elke persoon aanbeveel, die diere kan mens duidelik sien is net so gemaklik en tevrede met hulle omgewing. Daar is 'n plekkie vir elke mens wat ook al jou belangstellings is. Die mense op Halfway There Game Lodge het die kuier vir ons baie aangenaam gemaak. Dankie vir lekker naweek en ontspan.

Had a great stay, enjoyed every moment.

Had a great stay, only disappointed that the Jacuzzi was not working and we would have loved to make use of it. Very quiet, peaceful place, exactly what my partner and I where looking for. Saw a couple of animals during our game drive. Wish we had booked more days, but did not have enough money to do so. Over all our stay was great.

Heerlik gekuier, sal definitief die plek aanbeveel

Halfway There Game Lodge is 'n lekker plekkie vir 'n rustige blaaskansie. Baie skoon en netjies.

Heerlike rustige wegbreek uit die stad.

Dit was 'n heerlike wegbreek. Rustige mooi omgewing. Fantastiese ervaring met die wilde diere baie naby aan jou. Skoon netjiese verblyf. Luukse tentakkommodasie. Heerlike restaurant en pragtige swembad. Baie interessante wildritte. En natuurlik uitstekende diens en vriendelike personeel.

Mooi en lekker.

Alma en haar span is 'n wen kombinasie, die kos was baie goed en ons is daar weg as vriende, ons het gedurende ontbyt uit gehardloop om olifante wat teen die draad is, te gaan kyk, wat 'n goeie ondervinding. Ons verblyf van 4 dae was net te kort.

Rustig en gerieflik.

Oor die algemeen is die fasiliteite baie goed. Klein goed ontbreek soos kussings op die swembadstoele en 'n gebrek aan 'n ontvangsarea. Restaurant vir aandetes kan ook doen met opgradering.

Sonder twyfel 'n plek wat my weer sal sien.

Ek het hul klaar op Facebook dankie gesê en hul verder bemark deur foto's van ons wegbreeksessie aan almal te wys.

Such a relaxing place.

I enjoyed my stay and will surely reccomend it.

Verblyf goed, restaurant se ontbyt goed. Aandete nie en wag baie lank vir etes.

Geen ontvangs van bestuur, en lede van staf rook in restaurant wat onaangenaam is, en teen die wet. Beddegoed geskeur. Oord kwalifiseer nie as 4 ster nie. Verder lekker rustige oord wat goed geleë is en het dit geniet.

Pragtige en rustige omgewing, baie naby die stad

Die eenhede is pragtig en die bed enorm. Die yskas vol gepak met alle tipe drinkgoed is 'n definitiewe bonus. Alhoewel, ons was teleurgesteld om die Marlyn Monroe kamer te kry in plaas van Elvis Presley soos die bespreking was en die boma was nie aangesteek nie. Restaurant en spyskaart nie op standaard nie. Die saal word aanbeveel vir groot funksies of troues. Dink Halfway there se fokus is meer op onthaal en funksies as die verblyf van kliënte.

Mooi netjies en skoon.

Baie mooi skoon en netjies kamer. Sal enige tyd weer daar oornag. Net jammer die kos by die restaurant is baie duur.

Alles was perfek!

Ons het dit vreeslik geniet.

Die verblyf is waarskynlik meer gepas vir oornag.

Dit is nie regtig selfsorg nie.
