“Disappointed (do not be fooled by the title of our review)”

Reviewed 13 April 2013

We have had the opportunity to twice stay at Budmarsh. We are disappointed though as each time was for one night only. From start to finish, everything is wonderful. Meet and greet upon arrival, sipping cherry while checking in, our luggage was taken to our room. Huge king size bed. (Our previous stay convinced us to have a king size... More

“Pure Delight”

Reviewed 4 March 2013

Budmarsh Country Lodge offers a pampering experience, a haven for leisurely relaxing in the beauty of this majestic yet intimate lodge. The lodge can best be described as luxurious with stylish finishings and exquisite decor. The staff are friendly and attentive. The meals are so beautifully crafted that you actually feel guilty tucking into it....until the tastes start to tantalise... More

“Outstanding!”

Reviewed 8 February 2013

For the past 22 years I have been going three day workshops with clients in various locations around the world. I will remember Budmarsh Country Lodge as one of the best. For me the food was outstanding (and I'm a bit of a foodie at heart). The chef served up the most amazing ice-cream. Other highlights included the beef wellington... More

“For everyone who wants a break at a high quality venue - highly recommended”

Reviewed 24 January 2013

My wife and I decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary this year with a romantic getaway. Budmarsh stood out from the other venues in the Magaliesburg area due to it's competitive rates (DBB), five star rating and close proximity to Johannesburg. On arrival we received complementary cherry and was taken to our room where a complementary bottle of bubbly awaited... More

“Good country lodge with nice setting - but not quite 5star”

Reviewed 7 January 2013

Our stay at Budmarsh was very peaceful and quiet, as we were only 1 of 2 couples at the hotel. The grounds are very pretty and once we’ve settled into our room, we had lunch underneath the big oak tree alone overlooking the gardens. The management actually gave us a complimentary bottle of bubbly for our anniversary, as this was... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a comprehensive review which will be helpful to other travellers and it is hoped this reply will also be a form of edification for other readers. Budmarsh is a Country Lodge and receives its rating in that category. It cannot begin to compare itself to five star hotels such as those found... More

“Budmarsh never fails to delight!”

Reviewed 14 December 2012

A trip to Budmarsh is always a pampering experience. Having visited Budmarsh regularly over the years, one goes with high expectations which I always find are exceeded. Management are always looking for new ways of providing visitors with an exceptional experience. The setting is tranquil and beautiful - carefully and meticulously maintained.

“Extraordinary”

Thank you for your review and thanks too for visiting Budmarsh again and appreciating the tranquil, unostentatious space. Next time you visit, look for the SASOL Bird book in the lounge as Kate Turkington has compiled a wonderful bird list. Not mentioned in it, is the Woodland Kingfisher which is a wonderful electric blue kingfisher with a liquid call. Sadly... More

“Wonderful stay”

Wine tasting was such fun where i learnt so much i never knew before.What an amazing place! The food was a journey beyond my wildest dreams! Will definitely be back! Crisp linen was my favorite. I cannot wait to see what the Christmas lunch holds.

Thank you for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed the wine-tasting organized by your company. It was wonderful for the Lodge staff to host a group of dedicated and fun-loving professionals who are able to appreciate good food and wine. We hope to see you often in 2013 as you celebrate yet more achievements! More

“A little dissapointing for a 5 star establishment”

Reviewed 1 December 2012

We had our wine club Christmas party here and have to say the food was excellent, as was the ambience in the wine cellar, however despite an incredibly comprehensive cellar there was no somelier to advise on the food pairing and no sign of managment until the next day. The bedrooms are really beautiful but the bathrooms need to be... More

We are glad that you found the food excellent. Our Executive Chef enjoyed speaking to your group and discussing the food with those who were interested. Because you were from a wine club the incorrect assumption was made that your group would not want additional information on the wine; in addition no pairing had been requested. Jacob was your waiter... More
