Villas in Mbombela

"I feel it was overpriced for what we got. Our room was booked for occupancy of 4, yet the set-up of cups, plates, etc. in the room, was for 2, as was the dressing gowns and the chairs on the patio. The service in the dining area was appalling - it took 20 mins to get a waiter to notice us and then equally long to get our drinks that were way overpriced and small in comparison to the same drink at other establishments. Getting luggage to our room was a mission with no assistance. The door handle was not sealed, and batteries were exposed on the handle outside the door. Signage around the property with directions is poor. Lighting in the room is not practical - especially having the bathroom and passage light in the bedroom connected - makes nighttime bathroom visits a problem for all. There's also no towel holder in the guest toilet. I would not be coming back any time soon, especially based on the price we paid and the disappointment we experienced."

"Our stay was incredible! We were treated so well by all the staff and received a personal welcome on arrival. Our game viewing guide, Ayanda, was fabulous and knowledgeable - learnt so many new things about the animals, birds and trees, etc.. I received a birthday cake, which was delicious. The food was wonderful and the menu varied. Wish I had booked a longer stay, but will definitely recommend and stay again. Thank You to all at the Train, who made our stay so exceptional. "

"Robbed while sleeping. Luckily not attacked or hurt. During a business trip in January 2026, I was robbed while asleep of phones, laptop, ID, wallet, drivers license. Everything. Forced access through the sliding door. No CCTV cameras, no monitoring. Think twice if you're planning a trip (business or pleasure) or you're bring international guests. No compensation from this 5 star rated hotel."

"Friendly staff. Comfortably sized rooms, and they were clean. Beds are terrible, they need to replace the beds. Perfect location, cul de sec property, close to Shopping Centres. "

"The property can do with a refresh along with the installation of a mechanism to help keep things like the power and internet connection up during the consistent power dips. near impossible to be in any kind of online meeting if it takes 10 minutes plus for the internet to come back after a dip. The team at the hotel are friendly but getting any kind of order to the room takes an inordinate amount of time, in my case 1,5 hours to then still have it be incorrect. On the whole comfortable with notable short comings."

"Love this location. Staff are great. Property is wonderful. Room is comfortable and spacious. Breakfast is delicious. Have stayed before. Everything is top notch and I don’t say that lightly. "

"The rooms were lovely and the staff were for the most part friendly however at this price point the lack of attention to detail was not acceptable. Room snacks were inadequate and not replentished daily. Personal amenities not replenished daily. Food was good but the menu needs work: no pork served (if you want to serve Halal that should be an option, not the norm), one day lunch was all salads but the next no salads, bread served with first dinner but not the remaining ones, Hotels.com amenities do not match hotel website amenities, Cheese platter served without biscuits, some days poolside service but others we had to look for service. I have stayed at other hotels in the area that were better. At the price, I expect exceptional, not ordinary."

"Location was amazing!"

"Beautiful place, giraffes, zebras walking around in a widlife estate. Very friendly staff. "
