SUMMARY:

Tamboti Retreat is a beautiful 8-sleeper self-catering lodge situated in the Shona Langa Nature Reserve, 55km from of Bela-Bela.

  • 5 resident warthogs that love to come and greet our visitors.
  • Beautiful farm offering 29 game and 140 bird species.
  • Spacious garden.
  • A pool to cool down in.
  • Bush braai and garden lapa area.
  • Patio with a built in braai.

Tamboti Retreat is a beautiful fully equipped 8 sleeper self-catering lodge situated in the Shona Langa Nature Reserve, 55km outside of Bela-Bela, Limpopo, only 1,5 hours from Pretoria. The lodge is truly a home away from home, tastefully furnished and fully equipped – TV, dishwasher, washing machine, aircon, Wifi and DSTV Premium – and even gin glasses for those lazy sundowners. The lodge also has three bathrooms, a spacious garden, a pool to cool down in, a bush braai and garden lapa area, as well as a patio with a built in braai. We also have 5 resident warthogs that love to come and greet our visitors.

Shona Langa is a beautiful farm offering 29 game and 140 bird species. There is much to do away from the lodge – game viewing, visit the wetlands, fish at the catch and release dams which have braai facilities, cycle or enjoy bushwalks.

Additional information:

At an additional cost, we can supply:

  1. House keeping
  2. Braai wood.

We include:

  1. All bedding and towels (bathroom and swimming)
  2. Hairdryers
  3. A supply of tea, coffee, sugar, oil, salt and pepper, serviettes, roller towel, dishwashing products, bath wash, hand wash  and toilet paper.

Note: There is a 7km well maintained dirt road off the main road.


What some of our recent visitors had to say:

Mary Driscoll:  (Rented for 6 weeks in May-August)  

We are lucky enough to be the current residents at this beautiful home. It is quite simply the best equipped house we have ever rented. The owners have thought of absolutely everything to ensure this experience really is "home away from home". This home is the ultimate chill out zone. It has been furnished beautifully and the owner has gone out of her way to make sure we are happy. I cannot recommend it more highly. We are loving our stay.

------------------------------------------------------------

Carli Venter: (September 2021)

Highly recommended!

Such a treat. Beautifully decorated, comfortable and luxurious, without taking anything away from the fact that you are in the middle of the Bushveld.

Do yourself a favour!

Why the $elect Stays initiative?

  1. Encourage and boost local tourism through making holidays more affordable.
    This is achieved by offering locals a 15% saving. The same 15% that would have left our shores had it been paid as commission to an International Booking site.
  2. Reduce the dependancy on large International Booking sites.
    This is achieved by building up a loyal following of verified users who we will market to on an exclusive and regular basis to maximise the opportunity.
  3. Ensure more money stays within local tourism to benefit us all.
    It is no secret that the large International Booking sites pay no or very little tax to South Africa or Namibia. By taking back a little more control we boost our own economy, and in particular, our local tourism. This is good for us all.
    Read this article on how the Australian holiday accommodation sector is suffering in the same way.
  4. Exclusive.
    Only listings on Stays can participate, which means less competition for bookings.
How it works for accommodation-seekers:

Anyone can register as a $elect Stays member.
There are no costs involved to register as a member.
On registration, we issue them with a member number.
They use their member number when they send an enquiry.
The number is verified automatically BEFORE the enquiry is sent.
The property is notified on the enquiry that they are a verified member.
Property ensures that the quote includes a 15% saving.

Terms & Conditions

  1. The property (you) must offer the 15% saving to all verified members
  2. Verification is done automatically at the time of an enquiry. It is at the property’s discretion whether to offer the saving for a telephonic enquiry. (As you have no means to verify the membership number, it is advisable to get them to do a formal enquiry so they can be verified).
  3. If the property is currently running a "Special" greater than 15% then the "Special" price will apply. (No further savings needs to be offered). EXCEPT in the case where the "Special" is lower than 15%. In that case the 15% will apply.
    Example: A property offering a 10% discount, must offer an additional 5% discount to valid members - so they get a total 15% saving.
  4. The property must offer valid members the saving all year round. (Properties that pick and chose in which seasons to participate run the risk of being removed from the programme completely. Allowing selective participation defeats the integrity of this initiative).
  5. The property must not inflate the price before the 15% is applied. Prices displayed should be the rack rate. (The official or advertised price of a room).
  6. The property must honour any bookings made while the property was participating as a $elect Stays property.
  7. The property must honour the agreement and the spirit in which the initiative is designed to benefit local tourism.
