We had a great stay at Kwela Lodge and will certainly consider going back there.
A lovely farm lodge to stop over at with breathtaking views of Albert Falls Dam and the surrounding areas.
Birgitte en Rene het uit hul pad gegaan om ons te help. Het selfs my seun gevat om hom die kuikens te gaan wys toe hy versigtig was om self te gaan. Die grondpad soontoe is al wat goor is maar dis nie hulle skuld nie.
We stayed at Kwela Lodge for two nights for the Midmar Mile - Birgit and Renee welcomed as with open arms from the minute the gate opened. It is so relaxing walking on the grounds and meeting all the animals, the lodge was under construction and even that could not make as unwelcome. Quiet and tranquil and most definitely a place I would recommend to rest and enjoy the nature. We have such a beautiful country and this is what we miss daily living in the city. Thanks Renee and Birgit!
Ons het 'n baie vriendelike ontvangs gehad. Die gasheer en gasvrou was vriendelik is altyd daar om jou te akkommodeer. Die kamers was baie gemaklik en ruim. 'n Mens het niks te kort gekom nie. Die ligging was wonderlik en 'n wonderlike uitsig gehad. Die gasvrou en gasheer het als in hul vermoë gedoen om ons tuis te laat voel.
Ons het 'n moeilike jaar agter die rug gehad, vir drie dae by Kwela Lodge gekuier. Ons het 'n warm verwelkoming ontvang van Brigit en Rene wat jou tuis laat voel. Die atmosfeer is histories, vars lug en net rus. Ons het familie geskakel en vertel van die historiese geskiedenis waar ons nou bly. Ons het probleme met ons motor gehad en Rene het uit sy pad gegaan om te help met wat hy het. Daar kan kinders weer kinders wees sonder playstation en tegnologie. 'n Krieketbal en fiets is al wat hul nodig het. As jy nie van vars lug, plantegroei, die berg en plaaslewe hou nie, gaan liewer na 'n hotel. Die twee mense gaan uit hul pad om moeite te doen, insluitend moeilike gaste met 'n glimlag. Ons sal weer by Kwela Lodge gaan kuier in die toekoms.
Needs lots of maintenance work, run down.
Ons was teleurgesteld met die hele opset. Die breekware was glad nie op standaard nie en ons moes elke item was voor gebruik. Die handdoeke wat voorsien was was uitgewas. Die gasvrou en gasheer was vriendelik, maar ongelukkig is dit waar dit stop. Jammer, maar hier was ons teleurgesteld met die standaard.
Ou, gehawende, harde handdoeke met kolle op en gedaan badkamermatjies. Geen TV-kontrole, geen verwarmer of ekstra komberse nie. Plek kort 'n dringende opknap en verf om 'n aangename verblyf te verseker. Bemarkingsfoto skep 'n wanindruk waarvoor betaal word.
Dit was regtig heerlik om hier te bly. Die gasheer en gasvrou was so gasvry en vriendelik en het die een aand vir ons 'n Switser/Duitse gereg genaamd Raclette gemaak met 'n heerlike kaggelvuur en lekker musiek! Kan hierdie plek met groot vrymoedigheid aanbeveel, dankie!
Ligging is nie te ideaal nie; pad vanuit PMB na die bestemming, uit die dorp is nie ideaal nie (veiligheidsaspek daarvan). Dit was oor Paasnaweek, so goed genoeg vir my behoeftes. Alles was netjies en in orde en ons kon op ons eie kom en gaan sonder enige hindernisse.
Kamer was baie gemaklik. Die omgewing is pragtig en rustig.
Kwela Lodge is 'n juweel!
Ek sal vir seker weer kom.
As jy daar ontbyt eet is dit so aangenaam. Die gasheer was ook aangenaam.
Vir die waarde van geld was dit aanvaarbaar. Ons het DIT verwag wat ons op die webtuiste gesien het, maar ongelukkig was ons teleurgesteld.
