Penny and staff are so friendly and they made our stay memorable. Delicious food. Rose pedals all the way down to our cottage with candles. Very romantic. And of course the jacuzzi. See you soon again.

Everything was neat and clean, very private and the service is amazing. The breakfast was great! As a bonus there is no loadshedding impact because they have generators. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The place is beautiful.

Our romantic stay at Thulamela was just what the doctor ordered for my wife and I. What a beautiful and tranquil setting in the bushveld with your own private jacuzzi. Penny and her staff looked after us and we had the most divine breakfasts brought to our cottage in the mornings, along with a fully stocked honesty bar in our room. I would definitely recommend Thulamela for a romantic getaway!

We went for our wedding anniversary celebration.. We arrived much later than the closing time for check in. It was at night and we found the owner waiting for us. She gave us a warm welcome, showed us our unit and WOW we found everything setup as agreed. Penny (the owner) is the best. The place is well located and easy to find. It's centrally located, which makes it easier for one to get to different tourist attractions within the province. The staff is friendly. The food is amazing as well.

We had a special anniversary & I sent some stuff beforehand, Penny and her crew perfected it for us. Everything was amazing, the food was exceptional, the bed, oh my goodness, so comfortable. Penny & her crew really went out of their way to make us feel special and at home. The couples' massage is an absolute MUST. We arrived as strangers and left feeling like family. We will most definitely visit more often.
