Guest Reviews

• Alex Modiano (9/5): -
• Martina (10/5): Prachtige lodge, aanrader! - Zeer mooie lodge in een prachtige omgeving. We hadden het chalet Leopard geboekt, wat vrijstaand is en zeer privé. Holger is een aardige en gastvrije man en er zijn drie lieve honden op het terrein. Het ontbijt was zeer uitgebreid en lekker. We hebben genoten van ons verblijf en zullen zeker weer boeken als we in de buurt zijn! Dat we maar 1 nacht hebben geboekt.
• Nomusa (10/5): -
• Mandy (10/5): Geweldig mooi - Het ontbijt was echt geweldig! Hele aardig host. Super mooie locatie met een mooi zwembad. Het is lekker rustig. Het matras was een beetje hard
• Bungane (9/5): - Beautiful gardens and tranquillity. Transport not easily accessible, and expensive. Better if you have own transport to move around.
• Reinhold (10/5): Thokozani - ein Glücksfall. - Dass wir unsere Afrikareise in Thokozani begonnen haben, war ein großer Glücksfall. Unser Gastgeber hat alles versucht, um uns den Aufenthalt so schön wir möglich zu gestalten. Die Zimmer (eigentlich schon Appartements) im afrikanischen Stil lagen für uns vier direkt nebeneinander in wunderschöner Umgebung. Der Park, in dem wir wohnten, war mit dem Swimmingpool sehr gepflegt. Die Mahlzeiten, vom Gastgeber selbst angerichtet, waren sehr schmackhaft. Uns kam die Anlage noch schöner vor, als wir es von den Bildern vermutet hatten. Wir können nur sagen: Danke für die Gastfreundschaft!
• Helga (8/5): - Location N/A
• Heiko (10/5): Sehr schöne Unterkunft mit super freundlichen Eigentümer und Personal. - Der Aufenhalt war super schön. Holger der Eigentümer sehr Eigentümer sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Alle waren freundlich und es war sehr sauber. Wir haben uns extrem wohl gefühlt. Das Abendessen vom Holger war ausgezeichnet.
• Eugen (9/5): Hervorragende lodge - Super Pool, gepflegter Garten, freundliches Personal
• Evans (10/5): Would go back many times over - Excellent location and beautifully manicured gardens Hardly anything
• Anaëlle DUCOS (10/5): Parfait - Un accueil et une disponibilité hors pair. Un lieu superbe avec un emplacement idéal proche de la panorama road, du kruger, des caves vraiment top. Quelques bon restaurants et bars à moins de 15mn en voiture pour le soir. 15mn de l'aéroport sans subir de nuisance sonore Vraiment un lieu idéal Difficile de ne pas apprécier quelque chose au Thokozani Lodge.
• Luciana Medici (10/5): Excelente! - Excelente hospitalidade. Lugar tranquilo, agradável e bem cuidado.
• Thulisile (8/5): -
• Yara (7/5): -
• Tafara (8/5): -
• Frank (8/5): I would say it’s a better place if it’s a family vacation you can have braai outside well a decent . - I’m sorry I did not have breakfast because I left early before breakfast time.
• Rinke (10/5): - Prachtige locatie, hele aardige gastheer en een tuin vol vogels en aapjes. Holger heeft alles gedaan om ons in de watten te leggen. Het verrassingsmenu is heerlijk! Niets!
• Tiyani (10/5): was short but enjoy it, will visit again to spend a weekend soon - The breakfast was as requested The road to the the guest house need to be fixed, was not up to standard
• Khothatso (7/5): - The hospitality Less options on offering
• Amanda (9/5): Loved it - Lovely tranquil place with beautiful gardens and huge pool, bungalow was really cute and had two outdoor seating areas. Owner was really helpful and lovely. Just wish we could have stayed longer. Nothing
• Viljoen (9/5): The owner was helpful, friendly and on-site, which was great. Will return - Very well maintained, quiet setting
• Jeanette (6/5): Pleasant stay with hospitable host - Environment and host hospitality The single beds put together were not ideal for us as a couple because the middle where they joined had uncomfortable springs
• Eunice Ndlangamandla (9/5): -
• Khanyisile (7/5): Dogs ruined our stay but absolutely beautiful place - Very beautiful and peaceful place. The host and cleaning staff were super friendly. Unfortunately the dogs made our stay very uncomfortable especially the 2 brown ones as they were always on attack mode. My 4 year old was almost attacked but luckily my husband was there to quickly pick her up. Please lock them away as this could have been a very traumatic experience for people who are terrified of dogs. They ruined our stay and we were there for 4 days. Please also consider adding a kiddies play area as there's not much to do besides the swimming pool if you don't plan on going out for excursions.
• Sabine (9/5): Buschfeeling - Gerne wieder! - Wir wurden sehr herzlich von Holger empfangen und erhielten ein Upgrade auf einen Bungalow. Dieser war einige Schritte vom Haupthaus entfernt auf dem riesigen Grundstück gelegen. Hier konnten wir schon ein bisschen Buschfeeling spüren. Wir hatten eine eigene Terrasse, Sitzgelegenheiten außen und Grill, ebenso gab es eine kleine Außenküche für Selbstversorger. Auf dem Grundstück kann man ein bisschen "herumstromern", Vögel und andere Tiere bekamen wir schon zu Gesicht. Einen schönen Pool gibt es auch. Holger bereitete uns ein leckeres Abendessen zu. Ebenso gab es ein tolles Frühstück. Wir hatten bei einem Drink noch tolle Gespräche - hier würden wir jederzeit wieder übernachten - auch länger!
• Mehta (8/5): Overall it was amazing and the host is supercool. - The host is amazing and very very cooperative. It is near to numbi gate of the kruger national park. So you can drive easily from here and reach the kruger national park. Supermarkets are nearby such as Woolsworth and checkers in around 6-7 kms. Overall I felt like I am living in the middle of the nature. A lot of fruit trees such as mango, banana and avocados are there in the property. The Wifi speed and even if you have your own esim or a sim card the network is not that great. You can do a video call but watching videos continuosly is a little tough.
• Alrenda (9/5): -
• Michael (9/5): -
• Tigi Mariette (9/5): Wiederholens wert. Dann aber mit Frühstück, welches wir dieses Mal ausgelassen haben. - Grosse, schöne und sehr saubere Unterkunft. Am besten hat mir der Park mit Swimmingpool, Gartentischen und einer gemütlichen, überdachten "Laube" zum verweilen gefallen. Werde bei meinem nächsten Aufenthalt wieder dort buchen.
• Tornado (7/5): good - room Swiiming pool
• Siegfried (9/5): - huge park, good breakfast, nice host
• Daniel (9/5): -
• Beni (9/5): Sehr aufmerksamer und unglaublich freundlicher Gastgeber … vielen Dank 🙏 -
• Zala (10/5): - Beautiful rooms and an amazing garden! The owner was extremely nice and his home-cooked dinner and breakfast were exceptional! We loved the place and wished we could have stayed another night.
• Happy (10/5): Very economic and the service was excellent - The service was excellent
• Nontobeko (10/5): -
• Bhuda (8/5): Great stay - The view, peacefulness of the place, and the birds chirping in the morning. Together with the enthusiastic host/manager, who was friendly. The place/location gives you access to the main road where you can also find taxis. The possibility of having a flexible check in time.
• Stanley Craig (8/5): -
• Cremildo (8/5): Quiet and excellent, will go back at some time soon. - breakfast, rustic details in the room, parking lot where you get the room key with the gate remote. the short road before getting to the lodge is bumpy
• Tatjana (9/5): - Holger is a very caring host. He was always available and gave us very valuable travel recommendations for the area. The lodge is very nice and well maintained. It is situated a bit over 1 hour to Graskop and the Blyde River Canyon attractions and around 45 min to Kruger's NP Numbi Gate. The Castleridge venue in White River, 10 min drive from the lodge, has good restaurants.
• Jeremie (9/5): - The setting is gorgeous. Quietness. Peaceful place with plenty of space to walk around the property. And the cottages have such charm that you do not want to leave
• Bayrem (9/5): Nice guest house - The guest house was very nice especially the gardens . The chalets are spacious and original and well equipped. The host very kind. The breakfast was very good. Nothing
• Jay (10/5): - Beautiful grounds, lovely spacious room and friendly dogs and people to greet. Just wish we had been able to stay for multiple nights.
• patricia (10/5): - Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you so much for all your help.
• Philip (10/5): Exceptional - Loved Thokozani. It is very peaceful. The rooms are very comfortable and well equipped. Conveniently close to Witrivier and easy access to Kruger, God's window and Bourke's Luck Potholes. Hospitality was great! We enjoyed our 2 night stay and will definitely book there again if we visit the area.
• Stuart (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alice (8/5): Comfortable and Beautiful - The host was very nice and knowledgeable about the area. The room was also very spacious, clean and. Comfortable. The location is also beautiful.
• Martyn (8/5): Nice enough for a one night stay - Good breakfast that we experienced. Nice basic clean accommodation with lovely grounds to wander in.....and a new puppy to enjoy :). The owner is really keen for people to stay a bit longer but this place is absolutely perfect for a one night stay on the way to Kruger International Airport which is what we used it for. There is a drainage channel on the grounds that was very smelly (and I'm used to travelling, particularly in Africa so smells don't really bother me but this was quite bad) Rooms were clean enough but a bit dated and bedding was a little damp
• Liezel (6/5): Pleasant - Lovely host. Lots of space. Very outdated. Pillows and linen old. Not enough blankets in room without heater, had to request, although still freezing.
• Theari (10/5): Exceptional - Tranquility. Friendly reception. Privacy. n/a
• Cyprian (9/5): Superb -
• Vuma (5/5): Passable - The staff was welcoming and it was clean. The roof was a mouldy leaving an unpleasant stench to the room that made us cough.
• Jaco (8/5): Very good -
• Carl (9/5): Highly recommended - Fantastic lodge, amazing garden setting and wonderful accommodation. Highly recommended, semi rural setting yet only 5 minutes to White River town.
• Jackie (10/5): Paradise - I will most definitely return, tranquil, peace of paradise, and only 10-minute drive from town.
• Tanja (10/5): Very nice little Lodge! Try Oliver’s restaurant nearby! -
• John (7/5): Nice place, shame about the road. - Helpful owner. Beautiful garden. Great room and bathroom. The road outside was atrocious. 500m of gravel with potholes. Had to drive ( in a saloon) very very carefully. A 4x4 would be fine I imagine. This is a public road and the owner is doing his best to get it repaired, so no fault attached to the guest house.
• Mark (10/5): - This is a very good place to relax, very quiet,clean and staff were very friendly. The owner was very helpful and took care of our needs ie transfer,dining any thing we needed. We would definitely stay here again.
• David (8/5): Very good -
• Samucan (8/5): Good Vacation Start for the Year 2025 - I was a big fan of the following: The peaceful environment. The comfort of the room. The swimming pool experience (water was not constantly cold or hot) I like how there are towels available for everything. I was not a big fan of Netflix not working because it forced me to have to attempt watching movies from my personal phone. A slight suggestion from my experience would be adding a small broom & mop or cloth in the rooms for visitors' convenience.
• Biddle (10/5): Home from home - Freindly staff members always ready to help Clean and a nice outside facility
• Dimakatso (5/5): It was welcoming and had great fun. - The place was beautiful, relaxing and quiet. We prepared our own food and it was nice. The staff members were excellent always willing to assist. The place was fun to be at, however, their standard of cleanliness needs to be upgraded. We were met by crocoaches and ants, although the bed linen was clean, it was too old to host visitors, the poles that supports the thatch were also dusty.
• Mokgadi (7/5): My family and I enjoyed our stay. - We had our breakfast on the road as we had activities every day Nothing
• Tshegofatso (9/5): Great destination for a couple getaway. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Excellent location 👌🏿 - Great destination for a couple getaway. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Excellent location 👌🏿 Our room had ants 🐜 😅. But we took it as an adventure 😎

• Olga (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lydia (4/5): Disappointing - The gardern outside is beautiful. The staff and location We booked for 2 nights, had to cancel and booked elsewhere for the second night. The amount paid is not worth the place. The room was depressing, it needs upgrading,/ renovation. Or maybe if you are looking for 1960's style The mosquito net looks dull and dirty Towels were very dry.
• Barbara (6/5): Pleasant - Staff attitude was exceptional, Mr H the manager/owner made me feel at home even his employees were great I hardly slept due to the pillow,

• Anne (9/5): Wonderful place to visit. - The host is excellent. He has lots of advice and good tips for having a great travel experience. The place is neat and tidy, rooms done in a theme which was well done. Breakfast was amazing, especially his homemade bread. Beautiful grounds. A lovely peaceful place to visit. nothing to add here
• Anne (9/5): Comfortable, convenient, relaxing, and clean...all the ingredients for a great stay. - Holger was very professional and helpful. He answered all of our questions and was great at communicating. The rooms were theme based...and always clean and in prime condition. Breakfast was amazing and so worth trying his homemade bread! Pool and the grounds were beautiful. Internet was reliable. Very convenient to the KMIA airport. Not sure I have much to say here....we will hope to go back!
