It was a very cold 🥶 weekend. The heaters in the chalets were not warming the room much. If they can install airconditioners,it would be very helpful and saves on electricity.

Although dinner is included in the booking fee, you pay for drinks which was not mentioned prior. Host is very good though so im sure it was just a mistake of communication

Dinner and breakfast was good, atmpsohere the best, a bit rocky road to get there especithe last kilometee of the gravel but everything else exceptional. Dinner at the boma was very special

A magical bush escape – memories that will last a lifetime I recently arranged a weekend getaway for five couples to celebrate a good friend’s 50th, and Tidmalo Lodge exceeded every expectation. From the moment my wife and I arrived, we fell in love with the place. Tucked away in the heart of the Magaliesburg bushveld, it felt like we had completely escaped city life — exactly what we all needed. The setting is peaceful, with roaming antelope adding to the magic of the bush. The facilities are spotless, well-maintained, and feel secure without being intrusive. Each couple had their own private room, creating a wonderful sense of sanctuary and space. With no TVs in the rooms, and only one tucked away in the central lapa (which we barely noticed), it was the ideal opportunity to properly unplug and reconnect — with nature, and with each other. The highlights? Too many to list, but here are a few: The boma braai and dinner under the stars – a spectacular evening made even more special by being served a traditional South African braai, with incredible food and a beautiful dinner setting arranged centrally around the bonfire. Morning coffee by the pool, watching the sun rise over the hills. Game walks, spontaneous chats, belly laughs, and — as a good old South African Afrikaans saying goes — just some proper “kêer-ing” together. James was a standout host — attentive, friendly, and clearly passionate about making guests feel at home. His hospitality was a big part of what made the weekend so special. Every single one of us agreed: the food was fantastic, the setting was breathtaking, and the whole experience was just what we’d hoped for — and more. Thank you, James, for giving us a weekend we’ll never forget. We’re already talking about when we’ll be back.

Beautiful location, everything you need for a long weekend. We enjoyed the food, walks, the pool area and the prolific bird life.

The pool was freezing, so if you’re hoping for a swim - aim for September to March. The shower was cold too, so our kids couldn’t shower. Not a lot of game to see and the property is quite small so if you’re active like us, there isn’t space to roam around. But there are nature reserves 40 mins away that are amazing, so we did that.

The property was clean and well maintained. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding was crisp and clean. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating.

Stayed in August 2024

The rooms could do with a bit more cleaning. Clean the shower glass and mop the floors, don't just make the bed only and straighten the rugs

The staff members are very friendly and helpful. They managed to interact with my kid when they got a chance to. They made sure to make our stay comfortable and pleasant. The lodge it's self is very beautiful

There wasn’t really hot water in the room.

We had a very pleasant stay at the lodge. It was the perfect weekend getaway. The service and the food was absolutely amazing! We will certainly be back for another visit. Tidimalo is a true hidden gem.
