Initial service was good, but it has been a struggle to get the breakage deposit back. 

Security seems to be an issue (the establishment was burgled recently, and the owner's electronic devices were stolen from next to her bed. 

The photos on the website does not match reality ... the other units have been upgraded, but not the Kingfisher unit, which is old and needs attention.

Good beginning, but ...

The place was not as clean as we would have loved for the duration of outlr stay, spider webs everywhere of which I think they were supposed to be removed before we got there, every room ceiling even inside the bed... 

Our linen on the other hand was dirty had stains on it, trash was never collected yet we are supposed to pay for that when they were not doing their job.

The place has a lot of potential it very quiet which I loved most about it but overall we never received what was promised to us.

Birdsong

Everything from booking to arrival was great. When we arrived the rooms had stench smells, linen was stained , pool had toads, the jacuzzi was dirty and never cleaned (though we were promised it would be on 2 occasions). Daily upkeep of the trash and supplies was not done , we were told only at arrival that we would have to pay to get our rooms cleaned, bedding was not changed for the 5 days we stayed there. The bathrooms and showers we clogged and leaking. 

the only reason I gave a 2 star is because we planned for a bush getaway and that's what we got. We made the trip lovely and memorable for ourselves despite all these disappointments. 

Lack of communication and hospitality from the management. Overall I appreciate that the owner's son was kind enough to assist us with restocking our supplies when we were about to run out. 

I wouldn't recommend this place in the near future, maybe after 2 years when they have actually done some work to the place, but it has the same issues their previous guests complained about though they claim to be under new management that is revamping - no sign of revamping was there. It's a shame because this is a beautiful establishment with great potential!!!

Birdsong now called Lethabo Lodge

Thank you, Conrad and Danny for going out of your way to make our family vacation so comfortable and one we will remember. We loved Loerie cottage. Really spacious and ideal for eight people. 

Jessica you are a star!!

The setting is lovely, we could just relax, enjoy and unwind. 

Good luck with all the plans for the future. Can wait to see them finalised.

You will definitely see us again soon.

Regards

Great people at Birdsong Cottages makes holiday one to remember

The owner of the place Johann Scholtz is such a great person. We felt like we own the whole place. The view at night and in the morning is so amazing. Indeed we really enjoyed our selfs at Birdsong Cottages.

Treatment & Accomodation

Staying at the Loerie house at Birdsong Cottages on New Years Eve was lovely, secluded in the bush and the house was clean and modern. We will definitely be going back this year! Johann the owner was also so helpful and friendly! 

Great Getaway

The place is nice,good atmosphere what needs to be improved is buying new beds,beds aren't that comfortable. Employees are welcoming and nice they always check on you,the environment is clean no smell.

Nice place as seen online

We enjoyed our stay, the place is absolutely beautiful and quite, exactly what we needed, the people are friendly very accommodating, we saw the animals, it was an amazing experience, would definitely come back. 

Good place

My worst stay ever at a holiday place. On arrival the trash was still in trash can in the house. We had to call them to remove it as there is no cell signal. Also the coffee and sugar was used up and not refilled. The fridge smelled like fish.
At 20:30 we wanted to take a bath before going to bed. No hot water. I went back to reception to ask them to come fix the issue. Nobody at reception, not even security on the premisses. I found signal on my phone and called the owner Johan. His response was that he does not know what to tell me. He said maybe the gas was finished or somebody changed the settings on the gas heater. He said he will bring us a new gas bottle in the morning. Should we go to bed dirty?
As we boiled the kettle to fill the bath we couldn't find the plug and had to use the plug from the kitchen which were to small. We used plastic to slow down the water draining. It took us therefore over an hour to fill the bath with a kettle. We wanted to leave at this stage but due to covid restrictions, the curfew was in an hour and we stay in Jhb. 
We also had the worst night sleep. They have old spring mattresses that poke you all through the night. This was in one of their best units the Loerie. What a joke!!!
We left at 7am and slept the whole day when we got home. 
I will not recommend this place to anyone!!!

Visiting my parents in Modimolle staying over at Birdsong Cottages

We had a lovely stay at Birdsong, relaxing jacuzzi, the most beautiful birds on our doorstep, night times around the fire and a cute little cabin to go with it. 

Lovely people who recently bought the place, working hard to create a warm welcoming experience for new visitors.
