Milkwood Cottage Mabalingwe

The property is really beautiful and has all amenities required.

The road to reach the property is not that great, but we had a 4X4 which is recommended, especially in the rain.

Peaceful

Only issue was no Fan or Aircons. It is the bushveld and that is essential

The Room was clean and neat. Situated at a nice place with a nice view.

Shower stream was not very strong.

The location was beautiful.

The fact we were left stranded for check in.

In the middle of nowhere on the other side of Mabalingwe which is nice to see the other side of the mountain range, very quiet. I always love going to Mabalingwe game reserve and spending time searching for animals, the game drives, relaxing next to the pool and the dinners at the restaurant.

Read the reviews, have an SUV and thought it would be fine. Part of the road you really do need 4x4 esp. if it is raining. I found I had to plan a day out or away from the accommodation in the bush due to the time taken to travel and get up earlier to get to the game drives and drive in the dark on unknown roads after dinner at the restaurant. Pool water gave a very strange rash every time climbed out the water. No TV (rainy days) No aircon (hot hot days) one fan to carry from area to area. Very cloak and dagger/ hush-hush about the accommodation’s location which is very strange and suspicious. Still don’t understand why the honest location can’t be disclosed before booking. Very hard to find location even with pin drop cos it doesn’t take you to actual cottage and it’s only sent when you are at the entrance gate …..? Felt a bit like I was in someone else’s space even though no one else was in sight, but I was watched. Thought it needed a shower door.

Worst experience of all the trips I have evet had. False advertising. Horrible service. Double booking. Horrible road to get to the accomodation. Worst and rudest hostess I have ever come across. Pathetic. DO NOT book your stay here.
