We paid R1000 brokerage fee which was supposed to be paid back to us if we did not break anything. We left the house as we found it, with nothing broken but our brokerage fee was never paid back and…

Location alone doesn't equal comfort...
The location is superb, we had elephant visits on 3 days. Wi-Fi availability was also a huge plus point.
For the price point one would expect a cutting board, a can opener, a wine bottle opener and better quality knives.…

So much potential to be an ideal stay, just left a bad taste in my mouth. Disappointed.
Location
Aircon in main bedroom didn’t work. Fan was old, dirty and incredibly noisy. Braai grid (looked like it was out of a fridge) chained to a broken braai and we had to use another braai. Cutlery hadn’t been washed…

it was a wonderful stay, great house at the end of the row so we were right in the bush.
Lovely location, nyala, bushbuck, warthogs, guineafowl, banded mongoose and francolins around all the time . great location for all facilities
No can opener.
Cleaner arrived at 7.45 on day of departure, was very awkward…

Questions about Bush Dream, Mabalingwe

What time is check-in and check-out at Bush Dream, Mabalingwe?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Bush Dream, Mabalingwe have a pool?

Can I book a block of rooms at Bush Dream, Mabalingwe?

The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.

Does Bush Dream, Mabalingwe have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Bush Dream, Mabalingwe?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
