⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 – Highly Recommended! We had an incredible stay at Modubu Lodge and couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. The lodge is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and surrounded by nature, making it the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Our chalet was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The tranquil atmosphere made it easy to unwind and enjoy quality time together. One of the highlights of our trip was taking a scenic hike around the property. It was a great way to explore the beautiful surroundings, enjoy the fresh air, and appreciate the natural beauty of the area. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always happy to assist, which made the experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing retreat in nature, Modubu Lodge is definitely worth visiting. We had an amazing time and will certainly be back. 10/10 – A fantastic experience from start to finish!
Struggled a bit with leaning to see our selves but m the mirrors, average sized South African man. The bed made a lot of noise during tlof tlofs
Everything, hosts are always accommodating and helpful.

Thelma and Louise were the stars of the show. The warm pool was awesome too. Impala was clean, and had everything we needed. Wait till you go to the sun deck. The view. 10/10
WiFi was a little spotty at times. Can’t say that it caused me to not like the place. I loved it. And will be there again soon. And this time not just for a weekend.
Warm welcome clean and peaceful we enjoyed our stay thanks to Maria and Leon
Nothing
Accueil très amical Très belle propriété au calme Propreté impeccable
The fact that Maria and her husband Leon were very accommodating
Nothing I have an excellent stay there
Very peaceful and calm no noise
There's too many spiders but understandable because it's a bush
The nature, silence, walking routes and the animals fed in front of lodge. Great viewing from stoep.The proximity to Cheetah experience. Availability of Netflix. Thank you!!
Refreshing of wifi per hour. Uncomfortable lounge furniture.
Lo que más nos gustó es la cantidad de espacio que tienes para disfrutar en el exterior. También ver a los ñus, kudus, nyalas mientras estábamos de barbacoa. Además, para nosotros ha sido un lugar muy adecuado porque tenemos familia cerca
Todo estuvo muy bien.
What a wonderful place it totally exceeded our expectations
If you are looking for total calmness and quiet, this is the place for you! The chalet was absolutely beautiful and kept spotless. We spent our days on the amazing hiking trails and always looked forward to spotting the different animals around the property. A huge bonus was the heated pools—perfect for an autumn dip! The sunsets were stunning, but the real highlight was the night sky; the stars are so bright and breathtaking, nothing like what you see in the city. Truly a peaceful escape! We thoroughly enjoyed our birthday week there!😃
Personal creating from the owners!

The quietness, all the animals to be seen
What a beautiful, tranquil lodge. Stunning entrance met with the resident Kudu family on the way in was so heartwarming 🥹. The lovely Maria met us with our keys and while chatting with her, their 2 Wildebees came behind the car to say hi! My sincerest thanks to you Maria for including the cot for our baby it was perfect for her and a nice touch. Wish we could have stayed longer. We also appreciated the privacy.
The peaceful setting, the swimming pool the accommodation, hosts were very welcoming
The taps in the kitchen are very short,which is hard to wash dishes,
Un grand merci à nos hôtes Maria et Léon pour leur hospitalité. Facile d'accès. Le bungalow est confortable, bien équipé et surtout très calme sur une belle propriété où on peut se promener à pied en toute tranquillité avec quelques antilopes et de nombreux oiseaux. Le plus : deux belles piscines dont une chauffée. Parfait pour se reposer dans la nature et cependant assez proche de Bela Bela. Très recommandable.

We stayed here for 9 nights and had a wonderful experience. The accommodation was very peaceful and quiet. The unit was well equipped with everything we needed. It’s a tar road all the way. Leon and Maria were always friendly, welcoming, and helpful whenever we needed anything. We really enjoyed our time here and will definitely stay again.

What an awesome place to stay. Definitely i will go back very soon. Thanks for the warm welcome.
We loved everything
we didn't include breakfast on our stay. the location was exceptional, we had a wonderful weekend and wished we could stay another day or two. the place is very relaxing and peaceful, the chalet was clean, and the host was welcoming and friendly. the place was very secured and safe.
the gravel road from the main gate leading to the chalet, maybe if it can be refined to accommodate small cars.
The place is located at a secluded area and it's very peaceful, and as i was traveling with toodlers i loved the swings and pool
Location. Friendliness. Clean. 2 pools. Hosts interacts. Exceptionally well organised
No carport
Very peacefull! The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing.. Even when the thunder came to visit us, the power remain stable. Thank you for our welcoming birtday message for our son. Thank you Maria and Leon for your hospitality and friendliness.
The pools were very warm and clean and the clean Charleys 👌
As tall as i am the blankets were to short but hey i cant say i didn't like anything there
Loved the friendly hosts.
The bathroom is a bit small.
Premises the hospitality
Nothing
Peaceful and tranquil. Leon and Maria made us feel very welcome, any issues were immediately resolved. Quickly to advise when there was a power issue with Eskom. Plenty of natural wildlife around to watch. Daily sightings of the 2 wildebeest and mongoose. Enjoyed walking around the lodge. Chalet was spotlessly clean and fully equipped with everything.
Couldn't open windows as there were flying insects around. Would suggest putting bug screens on the windows to allow fresh air to flow through. Otherwise everything was perfect.
In nature
The proximity to other guests
The place was comfortable and clean. Perfect for a family of 4. Internet connectivity was good.

Loved the pools cleanliness the animals peace and tranquility guaranteed met every expectations. Maria and the husband were amazing, professional Im definitely coming back with the kids next time.
Loved everything about the place
The hosting was excellent and considerate. The place is tranquil with a lot of space for the kids to explore. Two swimming pools (one with warm water). A great stay overall. Great choice of tv channels.
They could have added bath foam and soap. However, they did disclose that those would not be there ahead of time, so we did come prepared.
The unit is well equipped and the swimming pools on site were a bonus. We also enjoyed the visits by game animals. The TV has all the apps but requires own login. Modubu offers peace and tranquillity on another level.
The lodge was very comfortable, clean and we loved seeing the animals around. The owners were great hosts.
The heated pool was not hot at all which was quite disappointing. We were also charged a late fee for checking in after 6pm which we were not informed about prior to our booking. That kind of information is important to include on the platform so that potential guests can use this information to make a more informed choice when making bookings.

Exceptional hospitality. Our host was warm welcoming and made us feel like family. The trip was fantastic.
We liked everything.
The chalet had everything we needed from a toster,microwave,fridge,stove and utensils,just to mention a few.We enjoyed the corner tub the most The road to the place is great and the location was close to all of our activities.lt was also lovely seeing the animals near the chalets. The hosts were very friendly and patient with us when we had car troubles after checking out.We are looking forward to taking the kids there. Thank you Maria and Leon.
All was good
From the first day the tranquility became a reality. The serenity of the place was unreal. We felt completely relaxed without the slightest daily noises and disturbance from your average tourist traps.
Every thing. Very quiet and peaceful.
To be honest, everything was perfect.
Location was very accessible and location was very safe
The bed wasn’t that comfortable, it was making a sound while sleeping
The atmosphere was great and I like that it was in nature.tge view of the animals and the play area for kids was great.
Martha was a great host and she gave us the best service one could ever ask for.
Nothing
Easy location to find with good roads. Very peaceful.
Beds were a bit uncomfortable. Maybe better mattresses will solve this problem.
The Host is very polite, welcoming and friendly.
Warm pool, peace and tranquility
Wonderful, comfortable, peaceful stay with exceptional hosts.
The tranquility. Close to "things to do". Excellent hosts.
Heated swimming pool not heated
I liked everything about TT, the staff were very friendly especially Maria and she don't want to be called "mam" " she said her name is Maria. She was checking us everyday in morning, and she was very welcoming to my kid. Even the animals there, they come near our houses so that we can see them, is like they were told so😂😂and we like them. My birthday celebration with my mini family at Thaba Thipa was very beautiful and worth it. Will definitely come again but with friends this time around.
The load shedding on Sunday when we were suppose to leave🥺 we left with clothes that were not iron, no proper breakfast, we just ate the left overs and leave.
It was quite and enjoyable
Friendliness of the staff
Perfect location. Excellent hosts who went beyond our expectations to meet our requests and interests. Our stay was more than just comfortable but also a peaceful relaxing experience.
The owners were very friendly, it felt like home away from home. The pool site was amazing and everything was just as it was on the pictures. It's a very nice and quiet place, my family enjoyed it and we are definitely going back.
The best location with so much peace and quiet.
Everything was superb, can't complain.
The warm welcome and friendly owners the well liked after and clean facilities.swimming pool area were clean and water were the correct temperature
The place is quite and nice
The bed was sqicky and sheets were not comfortable.
The place is good for enjoying peacefully moments in the heart of the farm/game like area. The owners are too friendly and always ready to share smiles and assist when need arise
if possible make shades for visitors vehicles so that client do not have to worry about condition and environment if it is not cool or colder .
If you want to be in touch with nature away from the buzz of town, Thaba Thipa is the place to be
The place is very quite and peaceful, it is exactly as i have expected.
Beautiful and quiet. It is safe and very accommodating. The owner is a people's person welcoming and they are always willing to help and make sure you are comfortable. They inform you of everything happening whether good or bad,
The couch, mirror on the other bed room is hidden behind the wardrobe and light is far could not see my self on it. The position of the light in the bathroom I feel is wrong, it's dark when you use the shower
The enviroment and the Hike.
wifi was bad
