"We had the best time at Thekwane Lodge and everything was in working order and the people are very friendly. We will definitely go back again. A good place for a family and group get away, the picture certainly match the view- its really lovely. "

"Our stay was awesome. We enjoyed the nature and peacefulness of the lodge. The service was great and accommodating for our late check in. Exactly what you need for a quick out of Jozi break."

"I liked the privacy and quietness of the place.The game drives was good."

"Everything was good except game drive it was supposed to be three hours but it was two hours. "

"Die stilte en rustigheid was ongelooflik."

"We had a wonderfully peaceful time at this great lodge. We saw plenty of game, even while staying at the rondavel because there is a waterhole at the fence.

"We had a wonderfully peaceful time at this great lodge. We saw plenty of game, even while staying at the rondavel because there is a waterhole at the fence. The game drives were set up to please and great care was taken to give us a special time. Staff gave us personal attention and went out of our way to assist. The owner gave us a very good insight into the history of the park."

"Enjoyable stay. Just too short."

On our return the ranger Vim said that it was because of the cold weather. We feel he should have told us that before and we could have made an alternative time."

"

"Fanie and the Thekwane Team, my wife and I had a great long weekend, the accommodation was top class and we were well looked after. Pity we only saw elephant of the big 5 but we still had a great time. Thanks for the hospitality."

"We enjoyed our stay at the Lodge.Very neat, clean, with good support and assistance from lodge staff (specifically Anna).Good hospitality - thank you Fanie and Wim.The game drive a must !!"

"Thank you! What an awesome lodge. Very quiet but peaceful. Loved the game drive's & the friendly staff (Willemiena)and management (Wim). U will definitely see us there again soon! Can't wait."

"So close to the city but far enough away to feel that you are in the bush.

"So close to the city but far enough away to feel that you are in the bush. Only able to do a couple of days with overseas visitors and wanted something not too basic but of a rustic nature and that is what we got. A personal game drive from Wim looking for what we wanted to see and a warm welcome from Fanie made it very personal.

Recommended."

"We had a great time, the place is so peaceful all we could hear were the animals noise and birds singing. Thanks again to Sarah for her wonderful service and Fannie it was a great pleasure meeting you. We will definitely recommend the place to friends and families."

"Five star treament."

"My hubby and I had the most fantastic 5 day holiday at the Game Reserve. It was peaceful and we simply enjoyed the animals drinking at the waterhole. The owner Fanie Smit is an absolutely fantastic host and made our stay very comfortable. Thank you so much for you hospitality"

"It was a great stay the staff is very helpful and the owner went out of his way to make it a great weekend "

"Great stay, Anna was extremely helpful and super friendly. An improvement to the quality of the lawn and a proper swimming pool would make it the perfect place to stay. Will be back in the near future."

"Very relaxing atmosphere. Fanie went out of his way to show us game & we were fortunate to see the elephant herd coming through right in front of his house and the two collared lioness (not clear)."

"Thank you, we had a lovely time! Perfect location and great value, and the lodge is warm and friendly! See you again soon!"

"What a great place to stay for some wonderfull rest and relaxation in a first class location. We had the two Chalets adjoining for our family of 6 adults and 3 small children.Great accomodation spotlessly clean and so well equiped.

Thanks Fannie and Nosmsafor making our stay memorable.

Thanks Fannie and Nosmsafor making our stay memorable.

Would highly recommend to all."

"We enjoyed a awesome stay in the main unit at Thekwane Lodge. The lodge is very well situated with views over the dam and bushveld. It had everything we needed to ensure a comfortable stay and we will be back soon."

"Thank you so much for the relaxing time in the bush. Accommodation and services were sufficient for me and fulfilled all my expectations.

Many thanks to Anna."

"Die rustigheid het ons heerlik laat rus. Die kamers is netjies en gerieflik. Sal defnitief die plekkie aanbeveel."

"This place was absolutely amazing! The owner was very forthcoming with alternatives to our preferences, right from the start and Nomsa was a joy to have around. We experienced the 'extra mile' when, with a quick inquiry about DSTV for the Saturday rugby it was connected with no effort.

"This place was absolutely amazing! The owner was very forthcoming with alternatives to our preferences, right from the start and Nomsa was a joy to have around. We experienced the 'extra mile' when, with a quick inquiry about DSTV for the Saturday rugby it was connected with no effort.

The inside decor is great and the surroundings with animals drinking water a mere 20 meters away were great for the much needed rest away from home.

The fact that it is within 50 km from Pretoria is an added bonus.

We will definitely return next year for our annual 'family weekend'!"

"Dit was wonderlike ervaring. Ons is daar getroud. Anna was baie gasvry en niks was te veel moeite vir haar nie. Baie dankie aan Fanie vir die stukkie ongerepte natuur so op ons drumpel. Ons het niks kort gekom nie."

"Comfortable and clean accommodation. Nomsa very friendly and helpful. Would recommend for a one or two night stay. If going as a group book both family cottages."

"Spent a night at the lodge with my sons. Great value for money - would suggest an upgrade to the channels available on the TV though."

"The place was nice and clean. Nomsa was very friendly and she made us have the time of our lives. She is patient. We reconnected to nature again. I never thought I could see Zebra in Pretoria. After all, Pretoria is not all about shopping malls, lights, glamour, clubs..

I was impressed."

"Heerlike kuier! Ons sal definitief weer gaan met die familie.

Outstanding stay! We will definitely visit again with the family."

"It is a great place to relax and get back to nature. I will recommend Thekwane to anybody."

"Thank you for a lovely, peaceful and quiet stay in nature. We enjoyed the weekend and Fanie's hospitality. We would definitely recommend the place and will visit again."

"Really quiet and peaceful, close enough for a very short break. Catering option: such a good idea! Spotlessly clean, owner involvement: very friendly /informative, but not intrusive."

"My girlfriend and I had a good experience at Thekwane Lodge. We enjoyed the friendly hospitality of sis' Nomusa and the lodge's African touch and setup. We will definitely tell our friends about it."

"The weekend away was nice and peaceful. Very warm and friendly people. Everything you need is there. Loved the outdoor kitchen. Will definitely recommend and revisit Thekwane Lodge."

"We were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the comfort of our stay. The description and photos of the lodge does it no justice. The owner and staff were fantastic and go out of their way to help you in any way whatsoever. We highly recommend it and we certainly will be back."

"Great service. Clean rooms. Very Friendly staff.
Thank you to the Oom Fanie and his team for an awesome experience you will see us soon.

We went on some game drives with "Oom Wim" and were lucky to come across elephants, lions, a buffalo, jackal, wildebeest, kudu, nyala, giraffe and tortoise on different game drives. It was always entertaining and a wonderful experience. A special thanks also goes out to Sara which serviced our rondavel daily and we had beautiful accommodation. Thank you Fanie, for all your hospitality and your staff at the Lodge, done an outstanding job about making us feel welcome. We felt relaxed and appreciate what a special place you have there. Will definitely be going there again!!"

"Wim het ons regtig laat tuis voel en die game drive was regtig die moeite werd. Ons het vroeg die oggend op 'n game drive gegaan en die koffie en beskuit in die veld was regtig iets besonders. Ons sal weer daar gaan bly.

Die rondavels is netjie en skoon en die kombuis gee regtig die buite lewe atmosfees wat mens soek in die bos. Ons het lekker gekuier en sal gou weer daar gaan oornag.( Rooms for Africa translated )
Wim has made us really feel at home. We went on a Game drive early morning, received coffee and biscuits in the bush which made the drive worthwhile. The Chalets was clean and well kept. The kitchen was what gave life to the atmosphere and what one needs when you in the bush. We enjoyed ourselves and would stay there again.
