we stayed for 2 nights and wish we had booked for more. The Sandstone unit was perfect and so well thought out, extremely clean and had everything that we needed. Beautiful view and getaway spot!

It was nice and it was clean and quiet.

Not Happy :-(
When you have to open the entry gate to the resort yourself ... 1st clue things are not going to go well .
The cottages do not have views as shown on website
I don't know why the place is called GAME LODGE ?? There is NO GAME to view .. you are surrounded by unkept bush .. The owners are total not interested in the well being of their guests . Once the key was collected we never saw or heard from them again .. Not even garbage was collected .. disgusting .. Oh and the Jacuzzi .. don't be fooled is a square hole in the ground .. There is no shop for basic anything .. I will NEVER Book there again .. SafriNow - you should seriously send out people to view before you sell on their behalf .. My trust in Safari bookings also tainted by this expierience .

Lekker ontspanne
Dit was ons 2de besoek daar en ons sal defnitief weer gaan. Ons 3 kinders(2x4jr en 1x9jr) het dit net so baie geniet terwyl pa en ma lekker kan sit en ontspan terwyl hulle in die hot splash pool baljaar. Daar is die skoonste sand vir die kinders om in te speel ( nes seesand nog skoner). Behalwe dat die matte so n bietjie van n stofsuig benodig en die yskas so n bietjie lank neem om koud te maak was als verder 100 persent. Ons het ons kuier daar baie geniet en Madikela ons sal baie baie graag weer van julle akkomodasie gebruik wil maak.

Madikela is a splendid get away from day one I enjoyed myself with my group I would go back again. Much thanks to Carol for the great hospitality.

Very good rest
Thank you to Madikela for a peaceful stay. Just to recharge your batteries again. We really enjoyed the stay and will return. Just a note, please update the photo on SafariNow's website. It is a bit misleading.

Winter Break at Madikela
We had a great, relaxing time, outside facilities are lovely, beautiful deck and jacuzzi. Unfortunately we were disappointed in the kitchen area as the photo's showed a stove, we only had a small 2 plate "hotplate". The seating area inside was also a disappointment. Due to winter we had to be inside after sun-set thus not so comfortable to watch TV around a table with plastic chairs.

Madikela Game Lodge
What an extraordinary experience. From the very private lodge/chalet to the wild animals, visiting the whole weekend. We will definitely return, but next time we will stay longer.
I recommend Madikela to any one at any time.

Very pleasant
Had a very pleasant stay. Would recommend to family and friend! very peaceful. Nice and clean accommodation. The jacuzzi was brilliant!
Johan Klaassens, South Africa
Good
Lovely place, although quite a small farm/reserve. Was great to cycle around the farm looking at the animals and birds. Lovely chalet, beautifully clean on arrival.
Unfortunately, nobody serviced the chalet during our 2 night stay - would be good to have the refuse removed and the braai cleaned at least?!
Also be warned - the road from Nylstroom to Vaalwater is awful - plan to take at least 1 hour!

Home from home
Thank you very much for the stay.
It really felt like we owned the bush! What a lovely and peaceful break.
