Newburg Lodge

Just come back from Newburg resort for New Year vacation, with a quite number of my family members from Free State and Joburg. Incredible experience and friendly staff from the bookings(Estelle and the team). On arrival, Uncle Danie and Anty Nicky, with their warm welcome and Friendly housekeepers. Very neat and clean, Amazing and inspiring Luxury tents design, that are fully equipped, not forgetting boma. Surrounded by the gentle wildlife. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a peaceful place. Hopefully the road will be fixed very soon.

We recently had the most amazing glamping experience at the Newburg tents. Waking up to the sight and sound of the peaceful nature surroundings and wild animals was simply awe-inspiring. The connection with nature was truly unparalleled. The tents are equipped with everything you need and the air-con/heater was definitely a huge bonus for the cold winter nights. The cleaners and staff were very friendly and helpful. There are many things to do in and around the farm like game drives, lion feeding, nature walks , golf and many more activities that ensures a unforgettable experience. Will definitely visit again soon.

We were a big group staying in Newburg Lodge over a weekend. The communication and professionalism from the Newburg team was fantastic! Leading up to the weekend was easy, exactly what you want, no hassles. The lodge itself has everything you need! Very spacious, great amenities and all-round just perfect for a big group. Nicky & Danie even prepared a spit for us which was amazing! Definitely a must-stay & I would highly recommend.

Very good ambience and well equipped. 4 stars Persons on duty was very helpful and well informed. The road for the last 45min is just very bad. We had a very good rest and we were close to a water hole for the animals so a lot of activity of animals.

Fantastic! Absolute peace and quiet. Extremely well equipped, lovely beds, and so well looked after! Will see us soon!

Beautiful tents and incredible setting. A few hiccups on check-in (no one to meet us on arrival, electricity off, fridge not on) but they were resolved by Grandpa Danie who is very sweet and helpful, he also arranged ice due to the fridge issue. Saw quite a few animals! Cleanliness needs attention, the microwave wasn’t cleaned inside and there was splatter of food all over. The floor also hadn’t been swept. Shower floods badly as the drain is elevated. The basins are badly measured and way too high for the average person. There needs to be a few housekeeping improvements to justify the price. But despite this we did have a nice time and wished we could have stayed longer! The dirt road from Bela Bela to Elements is not in good repair.

We went through on a Wednesday to Friday for a quick midweek break and stayed in Tent #1. The tent is very nicely furnished with everything you need. The tent overlooks a small watering hole and was amazing to watch a large herd of buffalo coming to drink in the evenings. The tent section is also nice and tranquil. Danie and Nicky are incredibly friendly and quick to help should you need anything. Would only ask that load shedding schedules are communicated to guests and some extra battery lights to put on if load shedding happens at night.

Thanks for the stay and awesome adventures! I went on truly amazing game drives in the dense bushveld which kept me busy for hours on end. It feels like a different world with very clean open air. Tents come with all types of cutlery, pots and pans ect to make almost any dish yourself but I went eating mostly at the clubhouse in the prestigious golf course next door.
