Sondela Nature Reserve & Spa Makhato Lodges

Pros: Booked Makhato 104, the chalet is beautiful, exactly as on the pictures. Would visit again.

Cons: the distance/ drive to the reception, pools are at the chalet area are too small , and having to drive 15 Min to the bigger pool at reception was inconvenient.

Pros: I like the accommodation It was clean big enough to relax

Cons: The road was dusty Rooms are far away from the reception

Very peaceful, environmental friendly and enjoyed birds music

Pros: The atmosphere and environment must be kept as it is. The road need some attention though they were not bad except muddy as it rained

Cons: Muddy roads. The roads were muddy and not lovable for walking around tbe facility

What an absolutely amazing holiday.

Pros: I loved everything!! The staff were so friendly and helpful, the location was great, not too far from JHB. The facilities were stunning and well equipped with everything we could have needed and more. Loved the variety of activities on offer. The restaurant food was delicious. Animal sightings were frequent and we were able to see some right outside our chalet. Game drives were so informative and enjoyable and game rangers were friendly and funny. The spa is stunning and the packages offered are reasonable and so worth it. I can't say enough good things about Sondela.

Cons: The WhatsApp channel with the schedule wasn't updated often.

On my side Sondela is my best nature reserve .

Pros: We saw different animals while we're still in the house The house was very cleanis

Cons: The Television was not working .We stayedc 3 nights no cleaners .Toilet paper was not enough and dishwasher

Pros: Beautiful nature and facilities. We went quad biking, and it was awesome. The pizza and chicken schnitzel were delicious.

Cons: There was a trainee that helped us check in, and he was extremely nervous and took a long time, but I'm sure he will improve with time and guidance. The curry we had at the restaurant didn't taste like curry at all. The cocktails took a very long time, even though there were only a few guests at the restaurant at the time.

Pros: Great location and we loved the game drive... Beautiful lodge...

Cons: Nil

Pros: The view was exceptional, the space was perfect and we enjoyed everything about the place

Cons: I didn't like the fact that, I paid for the accommodation and the other party of our group was able to check on without the confirmation of the accommodation and was stamped in.

Pros: They had problems with this house and gave us house 74 in place of it. It was a very nice looking modern house.

Cons: No hot water for my guests! We invited guests for my husband's 50th birthday and they had no hot water, one geyser was broken.

Few things that could've been better, but was still a good trip.

Pros: The bed was super comfy, lots of hot water, and a very good house for entertainment purposes.

Cons: The manager, Andre, promised me a nice clean pool and it was filthy. It had a dead animal in covered in maggets and piles of leaves etc. I also didn't like the attitudes of the cleaners. They were grumpy and made as if they were doing us a favour. I told the manager we were having my husband's 50th party there, yet I had security on our backs the whole night regarding the music. The reason why we left the city and went into the bush was so that we could play music in peace.
