Upon arrival, we were welcomed by one of the ladies which was nice. The place is beautiful and the environment is peaceful. There is no noise and distractions from other visitors which we really loved. The chalets are spacious and super clean. We loved the fact that the chalets have full cutlery including enough plates and pots, and we didn't have to buy anything except food during our stay. The children loved the animals and it was so cool seeing them up close. Will definitely visit again. Thank you for hosting us!!

We stopped there on our way back from Botswana , overlanding and camping for some 5500 km ! What a pleasure it was to arrive at such a beautiful place , welcoming , clean and superbly appointed diningroom , lounge, bedrooms and relaxation area around a crystal clear pool. Their manager on duty , I think his name was " Charlie" was extremely helpful and gracious and attended to our every need ! I hope that his hosts afford him the credit he deserves! The property is just on the outskirts of the town and offers a sense of tranquility and quietness one looks for and yet accessibility to the town is just 2 minutes drive away. Breakfast was top-draw and delicious. This place is very special and highly recommended. Deserves it 4 star status and yet very affordable rates.

Incredible views

Reviewed By lmalel945605

The views are amazing. Rooms are spacious and kept clean, the Staff goes out of their way to make your stay worthwhile, the drinks are reasonably priced and the food is okay. Note there is a gravel road (a few kilometers) to get to the lodge, it is manageable with a small car though. Better signage is needed as it is easy to get lost and there is poor cellphone coverage in the area. The only thing we didnt enjoy was the game drive (it was done on the farm/premises and not at Mabalingwe as advertised, so there was no big 5 and it was done at midday when its extremely hot and all of the animals are under shades). Overall the stay was very good.

Really good week (and a much improved venue)

Reviewed By lesjackos

We last stayed here 7 years ago and much has changed, mostly for the better. The point of coming here is of course the wildlife. This was just as good as ever and our drivers made a real effort to find the animals that we wanted to see and, apart from the elusive cheetahs & leopards, they succeeded. There is one point that may not be to every safari goers taste - a number of the key beasts had tags; presumably to aid discovery as well as herd management. This has pros and cons: - on the positive, it assists good viewings of the target animals thus less disappointment; - on the negative, it removes an element of the "in the wild" experience that other safaris might provide. My view was I enjoyed the sightings. Where the venue has really improved is the main communal facilities - ie the dining. Whilst some evenings were a set buffet style menu, the food was varied and good. Wine was decent and reasonably priced. The a la carte evenings had very good food considering where we are sitting. The lodges are well laid out with a fair degree of privacy. A great week.

The food in Basils especially is amazing. The staff went above and beyond as always to make our stay enjoyable. We will be back and already can’t wait.

Beautiful location, good food, flawed room concept, terrible service

Reviewed By stilltldr

We stayed at Khaya Ndlovu Manor House for 2 nights with two children and four adults. Since the accommodation reviewed here falls into the four-star category, my rating is based on this and in comparison to other accommodations in the same category. The location of Khaya Ndlovu Manor House is in the middle of a private reserve, wherein some animals live. Formerly a hunting area, the current owner has tried to merge the area with other also private areas and is, according to self-disclosure, still trying to give back the needed freedom of movement to nature. One must know that the animals, which can be seen from the terrace, are not free in the same sense, as for example the animals in the Kruger NP. Therefore, the employees speak of "our animals". The accommodation itself is nicely equipped, the location is impressive and the view from the terrace is without a doubt simply beautiful. At the man-made waterhole herds of zebras, impalas, warthogs and also giraffes gather throughout the day. Even a leopard is said to have been spotted there occasionally and we ourselves were able to observe a pride of lions with four animals. For this reason, we exchanged one day of our program for a day on the terrace. The kitchen has a nice selection of dishes for dinner and breakfast that are carefully prepared with balanced flavors and proper craftsmanship. However, the reason for the tendentially poor rating is the service. At this point I would like to emphasize that in the criticism expressed here, I do not wish to attack the individual service staff but rather see the cause in my experience as a failure of the management of the Khaya Ndlovu. Upon arrival, I had the feeling that the employee assigned to greet us was almost obsessively trying to talk us into additional tours. This is economically understandable from the point of view of the accommodation, but that even after repeated reference to a program already prepared by ourselves is "offered", you can book the same program in the accommodation, seems almost ignorant. In my opinion, the employee was too young and inexperienced to master the necessary sensitivity with guests and should receive better training from the management instead of - so my impression - a sales job. I already had the feeling since this first impression that all offers made to me by the staff during my stay were made with only the economic ulterior motive in mind, because I already lost my trust upon arrival, so that I only felt uncomfortable in the presence of the staff. One idea might be to discreetly display the tour offers in the rooms. By the way, the prices with the equivalent of about 40€ per person for a game drive are, from my own experience, exaggerated and not usual in the market. If I take into account that these drives may also only be undertaken in the small reserve, this comes uncomfortably close to a guided tour through a zoo. However, this is just speculation on my part. These experiences ran through our entire stay and all experiences are, in my view, the result of poor management. Here are more examples. - The rooms were cleaned daily, but the trash was not emptied - At the bar I ordered a coffee, whereupon the service employee somewhat helplessly put a pot of coffee on the counter for me, but neither a cup nor milk, etc. - he had obviously not received sufficient training - water was always delivered without ice cubes, although explicitly requested - instead of two eggs for breakfast (because the avocado had run out) only one was delivered - the cup for the butter was forgotten to be filled - breakfast was supposed to start at 7 a.m., but it never did, because the tables were not set until 7:15 a.m. - it was not possible to leave the breakfast area before 9 o'clock because everything took so long - in the morning only one service person was present in the dining area (tasks not manageable even for a well-trained service person alone) - the suitcases were supposed to be carried to the car by the housekeeping staff upon departure, instead of by the male staff. About the room concept: it is of no use to have a kitchen with a microwave in the room, but apart from two glasses and two cups, no cutlery or crockery at all. The kitchen cupboards are empty. In the bathroom, I missed a place to hang my wet towels outside the shower stall because I might not want to go back over the wet area to hang my towel after showering. Here, too, the assumption is obvious to me: if the management would question the concept itself once or perhaps test it out themselves, such flaws would be noticed. We were also in other accommodations of the category "four stars" on our trip and in comparison I must state that the poor service experienced here pulled the entire experience into the unsatisfactory range. In summary, I would like to suggest to the management: please train your employees better. You know best about the challenges of the job market in South Africa and you can take care to give your employees a good education. This requires effort, but it is worth it - as we have experienced in some other accommodations. For an accommodation of this category, in my view you have some catching up to do in order to keep up with others, and perhaps you are coming to the realization that the best way to do this is to invest in your staff. You have a wonderful location, your kitchen does a good job and you have a lot of potential, but at least to me you unfortunately gave a very bad experience.
