Toilets outside, bathroom showers you need to make fire for hot water. The place we've stayed was not cleaned well. The kettle was not working. The place didn't have all the kitchen accessories.

Friendly staff, Very nice place but need some TLC and maintenance done.

We enjoyed the stay...the cottages needs some maintenance

It is an ideal weekend with friends, not too far from Pretoria

Stayed in March 2024

Although the room we booked into was not the one we stayed in the room was not clean and had to do it ourselves. The bedding wasn't clean (dusty and had some dead insects).

The quiet atmosphere and the fact that we enjoyed preparing food for ourselves.

I wish they had light near their family cabins,it was super dark at night.The pool was dirty so we couldn't swim.

The warm welcome we got from the staff.They were super friendly.They gave us our privacy.My kids got to see the animals .

Stayed in November 2023

The showers and bathrooms need work to be done on them, The bush houses structures need to be renewed. The swimming pool was the big disappointment, Does not look like anything on the pictures.

The location beautiful, refreshing and easy on the body and mind, Very peaceful. The Animals were nice to see and seeing my child around them was priceless. The staff were great hosts very friendly and attentive to guests, The nature and weather were good.

The toilet and bathroom were outside. We didn't have hot water for 2days in the showers. We didn't have peaceful sleep due to mosquitoes, frogs and red ants in our tent.

The lodge looked nice overall The braai and boma area was beautiful

The roads need serious work. Leaving all guests got stuck on the mud roads for about an Hour Improve the Network Service as the phones had no network A few extra things are needed in the kitchen like dishwashing liquid etc

It was a peaceful place and we did relax

Stayed in November 2022

There were alot of ants. You can't put anything down and it's full of ants.

Our cabin was right across the waterhole. It was amazing when we open the door and saw the Zebras drinking water

Die aircon het nie gewerk nie. En ons krag was iets meer fout. Die fan het nie eers behoorlik gewerk nie. Dit was vrek warm.

Die uitsig vanuit die bungelo was great.

We were put in the cabin with a massive beehive, which we heard active in the bedroom wall through the night. On our departure, the staff admitted they were aware of the bees and are planning to relocate them. The beautiful landscape is extremely thorny, so you need thick soled shoes. Two sweet dogs kept us company throughout the stay - even sleeping on the outside chairs in the night. They had lovely temperaments, but they frightened the other animals away. We were especially disappointed when they chased the buck from the dam. Poorly maintained - torn bedding, loose and missing fittings, chipped crockery, droppings in bedroom on arrival etc. No extra blankets available for cold nights. We were asked to bring our own.

We were welcomed warmly by friendly and helpful staff. There is a gorgeous view from the raised cabin. The sky at night was stunning! There is a sizable braai low to the ground. Wood and ice are available for purchase. Good size fridge-freezer. Lots of hot water in the shower. There is a swimming pool with one side shallow enough for kids to enjoy playing in. Free WiFi. The slightly longer route to Grootgeluk suggested by the staff is much simpler and scenic than the shorter, bumpy route through the township that Google Maps suggests. So take the Hakdoring turnoff they advise.

They just have to sort out the problem with the electricity...

I would stay at Groot Geluk any time i have to travel that side again, its peacefull and clean, friendly and excellent service from the staff.

Very uncomfortable bed Can't sleep on them

Very nice location

Stayed in January 2025

The walls inside were dirty, bedding stained and uncomfortable beds, wholes in the floor from termites, dirty shower, and bathroom. Hardly any basic essential cutlery and crockery. Everything is falling apart. Beds were very uncomfortable. Everything smells moldy and dirty.

We enjoyed the quiet. Saw Giraffes, Zebras, Ostriches, Quinea fowl, Cattle and Sheep at the log cabin, and on the trails. The staff were warm and friendly. If you want a rustic bare minimum stay that is self-catering, with no expectations, then this would be okay.

The kitchen need bowls and new pots. In our unit, the toilet and Bathroom shower need some tlc

Marinus and his endless stories. He give us a good company. So energized...Mr ' I don't get tired, i love danger"

The carpet was a bit dusty, but it's understandable. Bathroom could be a bit more cleaner.

The place is tranquil. You can do different activities. It was fun.

Was a very relaxed quiet time in the Bushveld.

I loved that the place is safe and child friendly, our girls also saw giraffes in the morning they where very happy about that

Firstly we got charged R200 extra for checking in late. There was no electricity for the whole weekend. I feel like they could have atleast prepared us and provided us with fireworks or someone.

Proper place to unwind and the staff was welcoming
