  Wonderful accomodation and very accomodating – Very great accommodation and very wonderful individuals who own the lodge. Area is very busy for game life but overall a wonderful stay and interesting adventure – hope that the… read more traffic and hectic car environment can settle so the wildlife is not affected.

  A wonderful relaxing and pleasant stay. The cabins are very neat and very well equipped, all you need are there. Even some books, if you feel like reading.. Due to… read more having only 4 cabins it is very private and exclusive. Friendly service, with the honesty bar a nice touch. Nice view from your patio. So close to the city. Nice to come back to after a long drive in the park. Wanted to stay longer, but will go back.

  It is a very nice place, the hosts very friendly and welcoming. The beds are top quality and heating very efficient on cold nights. The boma area very nice and… read more good space for a braai.
However, it should be noted that the bathroom has a sliding door and therefore offer very little privacy. Also it is just next to the downstairs bed. There is no view from the upstairs bedroom. This unit is also right at the back behind the pool and thatched area – view of the water hole is limited. I think the smaller units have better views. The kitchen is adequate, but it should be noted there are just 6 of everything.
We enjoyed the stay. More

  Great place for a breakaway close to the city! We were able to just sit on the porch and watch the animals at the watering hole for hours. It was… read more just what we needed – a quite place to relax and recharge our batteries.

  After the 2 game drives by Gunther back in May 2021, we said we would book and stay at their lodge. Finally, we got the chance. The wooden cabin wants… read more for nothing, was clean and had all that is required to meet your self catering needs and on top of that is serviced daily. We stayed in cabin 1 which is the closest to the water hole and had the fortunate opportunity to see much variety of game while sitting and relaxing on the wooden deck. There is a pool in the lodge to help you cool down from those hot summer days. As hosts, Gunther and Anita go out of their way to ensure your stay is perfect for you. Thank you and as mentioned, when we were leaving – we are coming back!!! More

  Gunther and Anita are the perfect hosts. They are friendly and did everything to make our stay unforgettable.
When we arrived our room was perfectly clean and we immediately felt… read more at home.
All the utensils and much more are available and in working order in the room, kitchen and bathroom.
The view from our chalet on the water holes was a wonderful experience as a lot of animals came for a drink as we sat on our veranda.
Not to mention the quietness and peacefulness that is so important when staying in the bush.
Abendruhe can be upgraded to a 5 star lodge.

  Best self cater service experience in a while. The owners went above and beyond to make our stay more enjoyable. Value for money with a great experience. Recommendable for any… read more family trip or weekend get away. Thank you Abendruhe for making our trip memorable.

  I return to Abendruhe time and time again for a calm, yet fun get-away. Anita and Gunter are wonderful and caring hosts and the accommodations are very comfortable –… read more especially the great kitchen and the air-conditioning when it gets wicked hot in the bush. The game drives are fun and filled with information about the sites and sounds in the bush. The big-five reside in Dinokeng and I’ve seen elephants and lions. Lot’s of buck and birds can be seen. It’s a lovely place and so very close to Johannesburg.
