Thula-Thula Private Game Lodge Mabalingwe

The place exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, we could see how much care and attention had gone into the property. It was beautifully maintained, very spacious, and perfectly suited for a large group. The house was well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, making it feel like a home away from home. One of the highlights was definitely the breathtaking view. Whether enjoying an early morning coffee or relaxing in the evening, the scenery created such a peaceful and enjoyable atmosphere. The outdoor areas were fantastic, with plenty of space for everyone to relax and spend time together. The instructions to enter the property were clear and easy to follow, and the road from the gate to the house was well paved and convenient to drive on. Access to the house itself was also simple and hassle-free. The swimming pool and jacuzzi were exceptionally clean and very well looked after, which made our stay even more enjoyable. It was clear that the owners and staff take pride in maintaining the property to a high standard. Just a note for future guests: although we received plenty of warnings from the property manager and the workers there, the baboons still managed to get the better of us! Future guests should not only close the doors, but lock them as well, otherwise the baboons will happily enjoy your breakfast and dinner before you do. Overall, we had an amazing stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. We will definitely be back.

Good location, lots of space

In very bad condition with lots of broken crockery and kissing cutlery

Its a very comfortable place with good facilities and enough space to play for the kids.

The baboons breaking the door and gaining access to the house scared the kids off.

The property itself is great. Beautiful view, nice entertainment/ gathering centre. Middle of summer it would be perfect, no real need to go any where, pool table and table tennis, swimming pool, tanning deck, jacuzzi. It’s all there to keep you busy.

The facilities need work. A little love and care, a good work weekend will do the place wonders!

The place is amazing and beautiful

The jacuzzi was dirty and the fridges didn't get cold but otherwise all was amazing

The views around the property are very nice

To get to the location its very difficult,the boards for the property are not clear anymore We struggled with baboons at the property The cleaner lady tried to extort us by saying we were more than the booked number and upon verification we were not. The cleaner lady also informed us the place was haunted by ghosts,apparently a man killed his wife at the property . I am only grateful she said it the last day we would have been very uncomfortable.

Serenity of the location and the location of the pool in the complex. Great layout of the accomodation for large families and get togethers.

In the future hosts could send an email/whatsapp indicating that the deposit is required before arrival. As this was not on my booking confirmation and only on an SMS with a link that was shared with me. Hosts could mention to guests the routes available to get to the location. There are 2 options a tarred road option and a gravel option, gravel can get bumpy without a 4X4 vehicle.
