Thaba Monate

Still very dry. After rain season it will be beautiful.

Die indruk is dat die oord ietwat verwaarloos is en instandhouding benodig aan die fasiliteite. 'n Enkele splashpool in Nyala kamp kan te min wees vir die hoeveelheid staanplekke (100+) gedurende somertyd. Sal ook help as daar aandag geggee word aan die gras om die swembaddens in hoofkamp, dit sal baie beter wees as jy nie in grond hoef te trap as jy uit die swembad klim nie (dit veroorsaak ook dat die swembaddens geduring vol sand is)

Die grondpaaie na die oord is mooi onderhou om met die karavaan daar te kom. Badkamers is nie op standaard nie en word nie gereeld gediens nie. Die stands is mooi groot maar nie baie koelte nie. En stand 4,5,6 is langs die hoof ingang pad na die ontvangs en swembad wat maak dat daar n permanente stofwolk oor die stands hang want die mense ry nie noodwendig stadig daar verby nie wat dit ook nie veilig maak vir klein kinders nie. Daar is baie aktiwiteite maar jy moet ekstra begroot vir dit. Die terrein word nie mooi onderhou nie. Die gras om die swembad is lank en die een swembad was onder konstruksie. Die oord het ons nie so beindruk dat ons weer daar sal boek of mense soontoe verwys nie.

The camp site at Rooibok was not bad. Not very clearly mark and the staff also not 100% about the layout. The shop didn't have ice most of the time, ice creams and other luxury consumables was also mostly out of stock during the hot days. A lot of the staff was children that have no idea how to work with clients and plain rude. Entertainment was just BAD. Half the swimming pools was dirty and green. Very little grass around the pools. One swimming pool had a hose that run almost all the time creating a muddy mess on the already limited poolside areas. They will need to fix the place before I will consider going there again.

This review should be seen a constructive please as it is not only my view but also some of my neighbours as well. Please refer to the following references on you website as they will all be contradicted: “relaxed atmosphere”, “efficiently managed resort”, “relaxing holiday in the ultimate comfort”, “Confirmed animal sightings: Kudu, Impala, Blesbuck, Blue Wildebees, Red Hartebees, Waterbuck, Eland, Bushbuck, Giraffe, Klipspringer, Common Duiker, warthog, Bushpig, Nyala, Brown Hyena , Leopard, Aardvark, Porcupine, Chacma Baboon, Vervet monkey as well as a host more smaller species” “At Thaba Monaté, we offer you 100% spacious, level, grassed and shaded Caravan and Camping sites equipped with 15amp electrical plug points, water taps and a braai, as well as superior ablution facilities including family bathrooms.” “Listen to the mighty roar of lions whilst you enjoy you bush breakaway away from the city noise.” We are campers that try and camp at different places to experience more. This time round it was a bit disappointing. I will provide comments under each category.
