There was a sewerage smell that was rather nauseating

Quite, spacious and a chance to view the game

The size of the unit is perfect and the beds are in an acceptable state. The boma is amazing and very useful. The outside table and fridge were very useful as we mostly used this the entire weekend.

A Toilet upstairs would have been nice....

The fact that a group of friends could stay in one unit and the facilities was great.

A fan or two would have been welcome during the first very hot days. No broom to do basic cleaning.

The location was superb. The layout of the chalet suited our family. The fact that the unites are spread out, makes it very private and special. The waterhole 30m from the stoep drew many welcome visitors. The children enjoyed the hot and cold pool in our area.

We thought everything was perfect.

Very comfortable unit. The kids loved the beds upstairs. Lots of added extras like DSTV and WIFI. Loved our stay and definitely will book at 84 Makhato again. Thank you for hosting us.

There didn't seem to be enough hot water at the unit for everyone to enjoy a hot shower.

The place is ideal for families; our granddaughter had a blast at the pools and then in the evenings watching the animals walk past the unit, and the bushbabies were a wonderful surprise every night.

All the crockery was dirty, the pots (not a big selection and are very heavy) were full of dirt inside, the severing bowls were full of thatch and the jugs looked like they hadn't been washed in a VERY long time. The thatch was also busy being re-done which was not indicated to me. The old thatch had the house extremely dirty (and thatch carries lice!) as well as the Bush baby's living in the thatch (no problem with that) but as we arrived there was poop on the main bedrooms sheet.

Absolutely gorgeous house with lovely view, looks smaller than the pictures but has the watering hole right infront of the house! Had lots of animals come visit! Solar lights were put up for loadshedding which helped a lot!

A 6km ride to reception was long. Indicated walk paths would have been helpful.

Lodge and reserve were great.Visits to our stoop by many wild animals was extraordinary!

The kitchen needs alot of cleaning. The oven and microwave was so dirty that one really can't use it and the load shedding level 6 made it very difficult when it came to preparing food.

The house was very neat except for the kitchen as stated below. The staff at the resort was very friendly and helpful

The fact that I must pay for parking while they told me on booking.com that we have a free parking

The distance it takes to get to reception from main gate and not being informed fully about the activities and what needed to be done. We found most things fully booked due to staff giving less information until we ask

I liked how the place had everything we needed and how the beds were so comfortable. Everything was working and everything was clean. Exactly as the pictures

Reception staff could have been more welcoming .Found them rather stiff. Doormats had dirt swept under them

Nice lodge suited our needs for one night. Sondela Reserve is a pleasant location. The security staff were very welcoming and pleasant

Load shedding really an inconvenience.The fridge in the house doesn't work properly

It is a very quiet space,their security is top notch.Felt safe.Very clean space

the cleaning service lady stole our money when they came to clean

everything was having everything we found the facility clean

Stayed in December 2022

The unit needs to be properly cleaned!! And the appliances checked to make sure they all in good condition. As Load Shedding is a norm, guests should be advised in order to be prepared especially since we are not locals and we were not made aware until we arrived!

Loved the animals around the unit!! The unit has so much potential and it's big and comfy for whole family!! Very relaxing!!
