Love the property. It felt like home. The fist night we had to get use to the traffic as the property is very close to the main road coming from Nelspruit to Barberton. But the farm life and Nyalas was so Bushveld it gave us that holiday feel even though this was a working trip.

We would have liked fresh towels everyday. We use fresh towels in our own home everyday. Also the bathroom rug should be changed everyday as it stays wet especially if staying so long at one property. The restaurant was not stocked with the food as per the menu and that was a downer as we love to eat at the same venue, because we travel so much, we don’t want to drive to go to dinner. We were at the restaurant twice in the five days we stayed there and both times we were disappointed. We then decided to go somewhere else for dinner.

Comfortable cottage in lovely and well maintained gardens with swimming pool. Clean room with comfortable beds and a large modern bathroom. Fridge, kettle, tea and coffee and TV also available. I would certainly recommend it.

There was nothing to dislike.

Beautiful nature setting, very comfortable beds, friendly staff, great food.

Lodge rooms is seperated by wooden branches. We had noisy neighbours. If you are in your room, the noise is not too bad, but you cannot leave your door open then you hear the neighbours on the porch, talking and walking on the porch. A bit pricy for what you get.

Great Bushveld accommodation. I am very fussy regarding hygiene, and this is the first time I have had a 100% cleanliness report (Chalet 6). The restaurant is close enough to walk to for pizza, burgers, schnitzels etc and serve ice-cold drinks for the hot sunny days! The hostess Noni checked us in without us having to wait and personally escorted us to our chalet. The owner came around at night to ensure we were happy and safe (4 ladies travelling alone). Noni provided us with lamps in the event that we would need them ;). Our checkout was handled well - always a smiling face with Nonni, thank you for that! My Sisters, my Daughter and I had awonderful, relaxing week-end, thank you!

Nothing at all! The bedrooms were fitted out perfectly with cupboards, fans, and clean white linen. The bathroom had a shower and modern tiling. The kitchen was fitted with everything one could need!

This was our second stay in six months at Jock of the Bushveld. Once again, a peaceful stopover en route from KZN to the Kruger Park. It's not just a place to stay, but is the first day of the holiday. Nonnie was on hand to greet us, and provided us with her contact number should we experience any problems, which we didn't. Beds are very comfortable, and the shower is beautifully hot with good pressure. We will continue to use Jock for our stopovers.

Nothing at all!

The chalet was neat and comfortable with all amenities required. The layout of the unit was great and everything was at hand. The wifi in the unit is an added bonus. Units are spaced such that there is no intrusion between fellow travelers.

On hot summer days in the lowveld an air-conditioning unit could be great, however the cool evening breeze flows well through the main bedroom.

Very friendly staff. Quiet and peaceful place. The Boskombuis restuarant food was amazing...never saw a bigger burger than what was served...loved it. Thank you to the owner for the complimentary milk shakes to our kids, beautiful gesture.

I didn't report it, but the hot water got finish very quickly...maybe because we were a family of 5?

We did self catering as we were halaal, but still our stay was most memorable. We were short of nothing, even though there wasn't a fire place, there was sufficient bedding and the chalet on a whole was like staying at a 5 start hotel. Thank you for everything,

Although we managed to get a fire bomma from the kind lady at the restaurant, it would be great if each chalet had its own fire bomma and would.

Unit was recently updated to a classy finish and it had a bush view. The young man who checked us in was very friendly and polite.
