Guest Reviews
- Vuyisile (10/5): The stay is excellent - The location was excellent
- Ngwenya (9/5): Home far away from home, peaceful and affordable - The place was peaceful and very beautiful Losing 3 beers, not sure if they were taken by the cleaner
- Volker (8/5): -
- Aubrey (9/5): Excellent - Old stove in the Kitchen
- Matome (1/5): - Is very nice place and very clean. Not everything is good
- Thabo (9/5): Beautiful views, peaceful and clean - It now includes a kettle braai on the balcony, something that was not there in the past 👍🏾
- Bibi Faatima (9/5): Relaxing Getaway at Cuckoo Ridge - We really enjoyed our stay — the scenery was beautiful, the space was comfortable and well-equipped, and the air conditioning was a huge plus. The hosts were exceptionally accommodating and friendly. Would happily stay again The only small note is that the Kingfisher and Fracoline rooms had a slight smell when we first walked in, maybe deep clean the carpet.
- Ngwaluko (7/5): -
- Fischer Khambule (10/5): - Me and my wife had quality time to reconnect. The owner/s and entire staff was exceptional. We had complete peace of mind. Nothing I could think of.
- Sebastian (1/5): Schlechteste Unterkunft unserer 6-wöchigen Südafrikareise! Finger weg! - Nichts!!! Mussten knapp 30 Minuten vor dem verschlossenen Tor warten.
Keiner hat geöffnet. Auf Nachricht wurde nicht geantwortet und wenn man angerufen hat, ist sofort die Mailbox hin.
Kein freundlicher Empfang.
Man hat sich unerwünscht gefühlt.
Wohnung selbst eine Katastrophe.
Überall Ameisen und Ameisenhaufen in der Wohnung.
Tote Insekten in der Badewanne die von Ameisen aufgegessen werden.
Selbst im Bett und unter der Bettwäsche waren tote Tiere und sogar Larven von Faltern.
Absolut ekelhaft! In der Wohnung war seit Wochen niemand mehr drinnen und die Vermieterin hielt es auch nicht für nötig die Wohnung nochmal zu kontrollieren bevor ihre Gäste kommen...
Aus der Dusche kommt kaum Wasser.
Wir reisen seit 6 Wochen durch Südafrika und das ist mit Abstand die schlechteste Unterkunft überhaupt.
Schade um das Geld!

- Pretty (9/5): - Absolutely loved our escape to this little slice of heaven! It's tucked away in such a peaceful spot, you really feel like you've left the world behind. The owner was amazing, made us feel right at home and even gave us the lowdown on the best local shops nearby. If you're looking for a quiet, secluded spot to reconnect with someone special, this is it. Can't recommend enough 😊💕😊💕
- ABDUL (9/5): - -
- Mohamed Dalair (10/5): - Amazing location, power went out because of bad weather and we were informed well in advance of the maintenance done to bring back power. Great views, amazing comfort. Clean bathrooms and kitchen. Good parking spot and lovely atmosphere. Would recommend again and again and probably stay there in the near future!

- Juan (7/5): The staff was friendly and accommodating. The place is spotless and well maintained. - Spacious and clean with privacy. No WiFi at our bungalow and no breakfast was served. The swimming pool area is situated at the house of the owners and feels like an intrusion so we felt uncomfortable to make use of it.
- Russell (9/5): Superb -
- Hulisani (8/5): Very good -
- Nothando (10/5): Exceptional - I liked everything about the place and the host was super friendly to us.we are definitely coming back for holidays. Nothing
- Ms (10/5): Beautiful place 😍 - The place was quite. I didn't like the pool
- Mabaso (10/5): I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet retreat and also wants to be close to the Kruger Park and other g - The spot hosts a great view of the surrounding mountains, being quite high on a hill. The staff cleans the entire property daily. They are very friendly as well as the hosts who are helpful and great communicators. The road to the property is riddled with potholes. Just be focused when you drive and you’ll be alright.
- E (9/5): Superb -
- Mabu (8/5): Excellent - The facility no loadshedding lighting
- Theriso (10/5): Exceptional - Since it's winter, to have white gowns.
- Yandiswa (9/5): Superb - A very neat, clean and specious chalet. Very warm and welcoming owner. The was no breakfast as per their advertisement.
- Sello (10/5): Exceptional -
- Viljoen (5/5): It was ok but there is no breakfast. - Was well situated, and kitchen was outside on stoep in cold. Misleading with breakfast pictures on booking.com, and says diet requirements, there is no restaurant or breakfast available. No 2 point plug for decoder we had to use our own. We were also not informed about wellness centre or saw one.
- Justin (10/5): Exceptional - Apartment was clean and tidy, bed was very comfortable and the place is safe and secured, will definitely come back for more days
Will recommend if you're in MP hazyview come to Cuckoo Rigde you'll be home away from your home
Thanks to the host Ursula who gave a warm welcome Nothing
- Pogisego (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andria (8/5): Excellent 👍 - Location : it's calm and beautiful, Waking up to birds chirping is always delightful.
Ursula is a great host, directed us through road blocks before hand, guided us to the nearest dam, assisted promptly if reported with issues. She was there to welcome us and during our exits, she also checked on us if we reached safe back home - Thank you Ursula, much appreciated ! Kitchen lights - Lights were dull and towards the sliding door which is parallel to the gas stove, wished if the lights were connected on the ceiling for more brightness.
- Cor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tshilidzi (10/5): I loved the owner she was soo friendly even when we were checking out she was there to say goodbyes - Everything that your seeing on the picture it's what you will get I didn't like where they put their braaistand because all the smoke were inside the house
- Modise (8/5): Very good -
- Maggy (9/5): Superb - Our stay was beyond our expectations, We enjoyed
a healthy breakfast prepared for us everyday.
Ursula made sure we are well taken care of...the place is surrounded by excellent activities and restaurants..We realy enjoyed my birthday celebration and will definitely be back!!!!##Big thanks Ursula and your family for Ubuntu.
🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊 Be Blessed
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
- Emmie (9/5): Superb - The friendliness and the host ever ready attitude to assist the guests in whatever way possible, it made our stay even more enjoyable.Thank you
- Nonhlanhla (4/5): Customer service is very essential, and I will not support them again. - We booked for bed and breakfast and paid in advance. On arrival we were informed that we booked in self catering with no breakfast. Later told that there was an error we booked bed and breakfast. After an hour I received watts up that we will have to pay for our breakfast.
There was no staff to clean our room for the entire stay. The new owner kept on apologizing and blaming the previous owner, on our arrival the kitchenette and dish cloth had a bad smell. No air freshener was provided. 2 tea bags and coffee were provided without milk. No insect killer was provided as well.
- Naum (10/5): Exceptional - The security of the place is tops. You don't have to worry about your car being there when you wake up in the morning. Both rooms which I booked came with fridges, which came in handy for storing food items. The rooms are under renovations, and they are looking very good. I am definitely coming back with more family and friends. The breakfast was great, thank you Ursula. I wish l had gotten the self-catering units, but the bed and breakfast l chose worked out pretty well. The wi-fi was a bit in and off, but it was due to load shedding. Overall, we had a great stay.
- Anthony (10/5): Beautiful scenery - The location is peaceful and the scenery is so beautiful. The new owners are so kind and went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. I will most certainly stay there again whenever I am in that area. I also liked the fact that there is undercover parking next to the Units Nothing. I enjoyed my stay.
- Stanley (1/5): wasn’t the best - the location the house utilities
- Michelle (3/5): Not good enough. - The stove, air con fan did not work. The one light in the kitchen was so dull you couldn’t even see The air con stove and light should be working
- F (10/5): Exceptional -
- Talitha (7/5): Good -
