    The size of the unit is perfect and the beds are in an acceptable state. The boma is amazing and very useful. The outside table and fridge were very useful as we mostly used this the entire weekend.

    The fact that a group of friends could stay in one unit and the facilities was great.

    The location was superb. The layout of the chalet suited our family. The fact that the unites are spread out, makes it very private and special. The waterhole 30m from the stoep drew many welcome visitors. The children enjoyed the hot and cold...

    Very comfortable unit. The kids loved the beds upstairs. Lots of added extras like DSTV and WIFI. Loved our stay and definitely will book at 84 Makhato again. Thank you for hosting us.

    The place is ideal for families; our granddaughter had a blast at the pools and then in the evenings watching the animals walk past the unit, and the bushbabies were a wonderful surprise every night.

    Absolutely gorgeous house with lovely view, looks smaller than the pictures but has the watering hole right infront of the house! Had lots of animals come visit! Solar lights were put up for loadshedding which helped a lot!
