My parents and I stayed one night on our drive from Addo Elephant Park to Paarl, and I agree with some of the other reviewers in saying that we wish we could have stayed longer. First off, Thabile is not really “in” Oudtshoorn, it’s more by De Rust and up a long dirt road where you second-guess yourself if you’re... More

We stayed overnight from CT to JHB - really wished we could have stayed for longer. My 2 boys aged 6 and 2 were devastated to leave the ostriches and especially the gorgeous dogs. The food and company was as awesome as the setting and the accommodation. Can not recommend this place highly enough - but make sure you stay... More

This was our last stop of our unforgettable Garden Route-journey and by far the most pleasant stop. We stayed here for 2 nights. We had no expectations about this place. To be honoust, we were very curious because it was a bit outside the city but when we got there we had a very warm welcome by Lennie. What a... More

There are lots of things to see and visit around this lodge. Len keep on rockin and visit us soon in Zurich! Love Simone & Francesco... More

Having stayed here a number of times over the years the lodge just keeps getting better and better. This is a B & B with a lot of extras, pool, wonderful sunset views from your own personal lodge veranda and the food is fabulous. There is a well stocked bar but best of all a wonderful host, Len, who just... More

Len was great, the cat was enormous, service was super and room with large bath and shower were exactly what we needed after a long drive over the top of Bavianskloof from Addo. Take advantage of the great food Len's team cook up in the evening if you have the option. The Ostrich steak was possibly the best piece of... More

We arrived at Thabile Lodge hot and dusty – it’s a bit of a bumpy gravel drive to get there – and Len greeted us with beer and wine on a shady verandah overlooking one of the best views of our entire trip. Surrounded by his dogs and a cat the size of a small family car we just sat... More

Thabile Lodge was a real highlight of our trip through South Africa. A remote place in the countryside, so peaceful, with a host and his team like a family; Len, Henny and Ma Gertraud made us so welcome that we did not want to leave. Our lodge was beautiful and spacious and private, but we preferred to join the good... More

When we arrived on a hot afternoon, our host Len was waiting for us in the pool as he was trying to cool down and immediately offered us a cool beer. He's a very charming and welcoming host and immediately made us feel at home. The main house if full of funny animals including the fattest cat I've ever seen.... More
