Worst Experience i ever had in my entire life. In fact he owner Carthy is bully who doesn't belong anywhere near the hospitality/ leisure industry. I recently booked and payed to spend two nights with my family over the weekend. For the three of us, myself, my wife and my son were were charged R5040 for the 2 nights. Upon arrival, i was unhappy with the facility and asked to speak to the manager to negotiate some rebate as i felt the amount is substantial and unrealistic for the venue. We were the only guest on the night. Upon her arrival without even bordering to listen to my story the bully started shouting at me. She then called the security company expel us in the middle of the night. I then requested a refund which she refused. The security guards pleaded with with her to refund us so that we can look for alternation accommodation and she refused and insisted that we should leave her premises. After a frustrating lengthy discussion the guards the tried co convince her to let us check in for the same rate we paid for and she still refused, insisting that we leave. We thenm opted to leave on condition that she will refund the money (R5 040.) Sadly she haven't refunded our money, she is repeatedly dropping my phone calls and ignoring my emails.

My family and I opted to usher in 2024 in at the Monkey Thorn Lodge. Everything from the room, food, service was excellent. My kids really loved the duck pond on the property too and we definitely will be back.

I love how peaceful, beautiful, clean, and wholesome the place is; the service was just 150% on top of thongs; as in they want out of their way to ensure we were catered for and the food was yummy and homey. One of the nights we ate out at a hotel buffet but it made us to long for the food at the lodge; that just explains how good the food is. I would definitely recommend to stay at this place, I was traveling with small kids and they made them as comfortable and tailored their meals as well; their rooms are so spacious. Eden and his teams are doing so well and thank you for everything once again!

We stayed at this small lodge when travelling to the Kruger. It is very well run and well maintained. The staff were professional and very polite and helpful. The accommodation was excellent and offered great facilities. Bonus was the onsite restaurant that served great food. Can highly recommend.

We stayed here for two nights as a family and really enjoyed it. The room was enormous and plenty of outside space to relax and chill. The food was great, lots of choices and a great pizza menu. The kids loved the thick milk shakes and we had cocktails by the pool. We will be back next year for a longer stay. Can highly recommend this hotel

We checked into Monkey Thorn after several days of roughing it and self catering. The staff were so welcoming friendly and helpful especially MC. The suite was luxuriously comfortable and the food a treat.

It was booked by tour operator on our way to Kruger. Pictures were nice, but reality was even better. Spacious clean chalet, great hospitality, nice compound. We took also the dinner. The beef was great - very nice beef fillet, right cooking and delicious. It was simple, but much better than we expected. It is difficult to get so good beef in Brussels.

Amazing lodge, we stayed for two nights at Monkey Thorn Guest Lodge and had a wonderful stay. The accommodation was outstanding spacious, great decor and spotless clean. Location was perfect for our day trips to kruger and Gods window. We ate both nights and the food was excellent. Finally the staff are great, friendly, attentive and know their job.
