Therapeutic. Felt like we were visiting family. warmth and love

Pros: Dinner and breakfast was super delicious, it felt like we are home away from home. Served with a smile and love.

Cons: There is nothing I would change. Cobus and Magdel were welcoming with warmth and love, it felt like I was visiting family. The stuff is very friendly and super helpful. The horse riders are super friendly and we laughed the whole way and had beautiful conversations.

Awesome place for retreating and recharging away from the hustle and bustle

Pros: The hosts were super-welcoming and staff very friendly. The idea of half board was excellent as we enjoyed breakfast and supper, especially prepared by head chef. The food was scrum-dili-yummy-yummy, with a touch of variety every day. It was home away from home.

Cons: The dogs in the dining area when we were eating

Pros: Very cozy. Old charm about it. Loads of animals on the farm. The hosts were very accommodating and super friendly. Very homey feel about the place. Rooms were cleaned daily. The meals were so heartwarming, just what was needed to help warm up.

Cons: Could have had a tv in the room but if you're trying to get away for a really quiet weekend...I guess you won't mind.

Overall this was a wonderful getaway, and we look forward to visiting again.

Pros: Thandile Country Lodge turned out to be a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of life. We were able to escape to a space where the sounds of flowing water, the lush greenery, and the friendly animals (especially the captivating giraffe) drew us away from the everyday stress of life. Cobus and Magdel are incredible hosts, who paid close attention to our dietary requirements, spoiled us with hearty and delicious meals, and ensured that we were comfortable throughout our stay. These wonderful humans are truly the heart and soul of this incredible establishment.
