Good relaxing stay in Mountain cabins

Once again, we enjoyed our stay at ATKV Klein Kariba ("Berghuis"). Quite private, with all needed for self-catering in unit. They also supply a free bag of good braaiwood! We try to stay here at least 2x per year.

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.

Best Value for Money

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.

Reviewed By rudzanim92

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!!

Dreadful (&it used to be great)!

Reviewed By lesjackos

I last came to Zebula 7 years ago when it was “twinned” with the next door, same-family owned resort, Mabula. At that time the twin strategy was a great idea as Mabula had great game drives but poor dining and Zebula had lesser game drives but possessed a golf course (not great but a nice change), nice bars and a really quite good restaurant. One could freely book into the next door resort, and many guests did. There has presumably been a falling out. Mabula has improved its offering substantially (separate review). Nevertheless, we drove over to Zeb to have a looksee and the first change was to be charged to enter the estate (only £5 but still a surprise). Then we discovered: - dreadful bar area complete with excruciating karaoke (even if you like karaoke, this was dreadful); - poor food menu, mostly fast food that was very poorly prepared; - the (formerly excellent) balcony restaurant is permanently closed. Of course, COVID has damaged the hospitality sector globally and the owners may have felt the need to make changes in order to fulfil new / any available demand. However, I’m afraid that for my group the changes are exclusively awful. We didn’t go back and never will.

Reviewed By BJPct

We arrived during load shedding, which meant that Elri, who had tested positive for Covid earlier that morning, wasn't able to check our reservation or offer any personal service. Hpwever, after the power was restored, we went to our prepared room, unpacked and settled in for our one night stopover. The room was clean, comfortable and equipped with what we needed for a self-service light supper. A good night's rest in a comfortable bed and we left early the following morning, unfortunately, without seeing Elri. Elri, trust you have recovered and will experience any long term effects. Best wishes. Bill & Joy Phelps

Exquisite Private Retreat

Reviewed By Nalsin

Wow. Lejwe La Metsi is truly a royal gem set in a perfect location in Bela Bela. The pristine gardens | pool and entertainment areas are immaculate. The indoor relaxing lounge | private dining and bar area is beautiful and warm with great decor. There are 3 waterfalls which makes Lejwe extra unique and special with little streams and a bridge surrounded by beautiful gardens. Each Villa is luxurious and I had the pleasure of staying in Island Villa which was exquisite. Luxury at its best set in it's own private retreat. Each room is uniquely decorated with opulent decor and artwork. Absolutely exclusive and quintessential. The cuisine was superb. Compliments to Chef Justice. The Boma dinner was spectacular and like no other. What makes Lejwe La Metsi extra special and one of the best 5 star private retreats in the Bela Bela area is the 6 star service. A huge Thank You to Sarita | Obed | Piet | Cady and the rest of the Lejwe Team for making my stay one of the most memorable and amazing experiences. I highly recommend a visit to Lejwe La Metsi as it is truly a unique and royal gem.
