Pas mal mais il ne faut avoir besoin de rien

Peu de réactivité du personnel. Pour avoir accès au coffre, j'ai demandé 2 fois, je n'ai malgré cela jamais eu l’accès. De même néon défaillant.J'ai appelé pour le changer le matin, pas d'intervention avant notre départ. Le nouvel occupant aura peut être la chance d'avoir la réparation. Pas de WIFI malgré qu'il était présent dans le descriptif.

Good value -if you know what to expect.

I read previous reports and they were accurate---So we got what we expected which was comfortable and good. (it may be a bit overpriced for what you get but lets not get picky) The resort needs funds and maintenance for chalets and sprucing up of Restaurant. The staff try hard but have limited resources. Grounds and all areas clean and nicely kept. Pool area is great--Temp up to 39 while we were there

Mixed feeling but still great over all

It’s really nice but definitely needs maintenance and repairs around the attractions . A simple layer of paint and a bit of filler will go along way in the public rest rooms . None of the hand driers worked and the super thin single ply toilet roll is so thin that you cannot even pull it of the roll from the dispensers without it tearing . You should try doing that while while wiping your child’s butt . The ground around the pool is completely covered in paper thorns so barefoot around the pool is a no no for sure . The campsite grounds are well swept but unfortunately on consist of sand and stones so thank goodness I wasn’t camping . Other than that the chalet was very comfortable and had everything you need and nicely laid out . I don’t know who they are but there are a bunch of people driving around in fancy cars with GP number plates and park official magnetic signs on there vehicles that actually become a bit of a nuisance around good sightings trying to tell people where they should be parking but they are actually causing more havoc than anything else as well as approach you telling you to move on because they heard on the radio that the leopard has moved on and we don’t need to sit there anymore meanwhile I just saw the leopard as well as the direction it went in so if I want to sit and wait for it again I shouldn’t be lied to but I find it very odd that non of the “Official” vehicles leave the area . It’s like they want it to themselves .

Top für Safari am Pilanesberg!

Das Ziel war Pilanesberg und Safari mit den eigenen Auto! Dafür gibt es keinen besseren Startpunkt, da der Eingang zum Gate nur 3 Min entfernt ist! Mitte Januar ist keine Saison und wir konnten, bei sehr netten Service unser Menü direkt aus der Karte wählen. Absolut Top 👍 Und deswegen viel zu viel gegessen 😂! OK - die Häuschen sind schon sehr abgewohnt und über eine Renovierung würden sie sich freuen. - Nur den Safarierlebnissen, hat das keinen Abbruch gemacht! Umbedingt zu verändern, wären Schirme (oder Sonnenschutzüberdachung) und Liegen am Pool. Der Pool ist zwar groß und schön, doch bei Sonne nicht nutzbar und zwischen Safari und Dinner ist keine Zeit! Das fanden wir sehr schade und würden es auch als negativ bewerten, da wir gerne am frühen Nachmittag ein bisschen geschwommenen wären!

Although the chalet we stayed in was older, it was perfectly clean and very comfortable. We had such a lovely stay that we decided to stay an extra night. The breakfast was good at the restaurant, but they could have better coffee. The staff at the resort were friendly and helpful.

Lovely stay

The accommodation was very clean and the self-service catering equipment was good. All the staff very friendly, helpful and accommodating. The shower could do with the mould being removed but that was minor. The welcome pack in the room should include a map of the site with evacuation points marked on it, to back up the description. We had all our meals included but although the menu was extensive not everything was available which was disappointing. As they had been busy the previous weekend and it was off-peak season they should have provided a reduced menu. The restaurant is very large and during quiet periods is should be screened off to create a better atmosphere. However, I cannot fault the waiting staff for the quality of service which was very good.

Family stay in the Pilanesburg.

Pilanesburg is an amazing destination. The kids really enjoyed the playground and being able to cycle around the campsite. The pool is huge and the breakfast at the restaurant was pretty good. The only downside is the chalet accommodation looks a bit outdated and probably needs a facelift. The lodge is very close to the entrance of the park which makes it very easy to start an early game drive during the day. There is abundance of game right outside the lodge on the other side of the fence. We spotted rhinos, elephants and a brown hyena one morning within 5 minutes.

einfache, schöne Unterkunft zum vernünftigen Preis

Wir hatten uns eine Chalet gemietet für 4 Erwachsene und 1 Kleinkind. Die große des Hauses war ok. Ich würde nur kritisieren, dass im oberen Bereich bei den 2 Einzelbetten kein Schrank war, und die Treppe sehr steil/nicht kindergerecht ist. Leider gibt es kein kostenloses Internet. Ansonsten waren wir mit der Anlage sehr zufrieden. Viele kleine Spielplätze, auch wenn mehrere Geräte eine Reparatur notwendig hätten. Die Toiletten auf der Anlage waren alle sehr sauber und die Pools gepflegt. Leider gab es keine Liegen zum Entspannen. Das Frühstück war gut, und das Restaurant immer offen. Der kleine Supermart hat wirklich nur das nötigste. Wer grillen möchte, sollte alles mitbringen. Wir haben von den Big5 Big4 gesehen. Der Park ist wirklich sehr schon und nicht überlaufen.
