One of the rare places with a view outside Pretoria. Close to the city but dont feel like it. New ownership, fresh ideas. Really enjoyed our experience.

As a photographer, I have worked closely with numerous wedding venues. Wedding photography can be quite challenging and any photographers worst nightmare is taking wedding pictures at a not-so-great wedding venue. Working at Kuungana Bush Lodge is a pleasure. There is more than enough space with different looks for photos, beautiful corners and lots of attention to detail. Their chapel is probably one of the most romantic, beautiful chapels I have ever seen in my life and the photos looks spectacular. The owners, Hendrich & Michelle, are always friendly, helpful & professional - with a little bit of humor thrown in and lots and lots of hard work. I recommend this place 100%

Nice venue. Its my second time here for a wedding. Only complaint is drinks are priced ludicrously and their policies regarding alcohol are threatening.

Kuungana Bush Lodge is a nice place, the food was amazing and the staff was friendly. It is just not that wheelchair friendly.

Wonderful place to escape the city and come have a beer!We also ordered some starters for the table, but we were not impressed as it took very long and was cold when it arrived.We did however enjoy a wonderful view and wonderful cold beers from Legends brewery.

I did a wedding there and didnt stay for the reception afterwards. But I heard from alot of poeple that its really nice. It was just a little tricky to get there because directions and signs werent so good.

Attended a wedding at Kuungana on the 21 August 2021. Wedding and function facality execellent and food and service was excellent! Accomodation units at R1200 per night, maintenance however not so good! Front doors struggle to open as they are scraping on the floor. Toilet doorlock installed the wrong way round so it cannot close, spray tin in room empty, certain geysers not working.

I havent seen such friendly staff in such a long time!!! Everyone was helpful and friendly. The venue was expertly made up for a wedding we attended. The waiters were quick and they kept the place clean the whole night. Everyone was super helpful. Not too far from Pretoria. Withany accommodation pptions close by. Would recommend to anyone.

Lovely venue staff friendly and helpfull...unfortunately the food and maintenance of the premises are substandard. Ceiling fan in room not working and without light cover!!..toilet accommodates old spider webs including its owners... same in shower. Mosquito net got holes in it???? Guests next door to us said the same thing..We were their for a wedding the food that night was tasteless...Management should have a serious talk to the chef or if they prefer that sort of food then lower the price you cant expect people to pay for 5 star food and give them 2 stars worth...Breakfast was fine... I sincerely hope that the owners/management would look at this review in a positive way because it can only be beneficial to them

Nice country lodge outside of Pretoria. Was there for an event and we had a great time in the boma. The food was good and they have their own beer and gin on tap. Rooms are clean and cheerful.

@Michelle. You are absolutely unprofessional to suppliers within your field. Taking them on personally and insulting them with no respect. From arriving you had issues with speeding (of which i have seen several people also driving up and down at the same speed - its not like anyones life was placed in danger but you came running down in a panic as it was the end of the world accusing of “driving to fast” , of which I apologized and then an an older man was telling me im back chatting as if im your child? I was only responding saying “sorry i didn’t mean to and i did not even realize it was that fast, its not like a was spinning and driving recklessly”). Furthermore i was told that you are not my staff, as if im yours? Then also , we brought a energy drink each (4 out of 4 - only myself and the dj didn’t consume ours yet as we had refreshments when we even arrived of which you claim to not have seen so no one told us till after 9 at night) to the premises of which we didn’t consume only till later the evening, after requesting for ice we were approached by you asking , “how do we have the audacity to disrespect your rules - (which are on the gate outside in afrikaans words as well as drank (mostly referred to as alcohol in afrikaans - hence i will give it to you for using an open ended beverages term) of which we again did apologize for missing it, not to cost you money, i will pay your fee if you really want to go there... If i knew it was an issue I clearly would not have broken any of your rules, I did explicitly asked you when we arrived if there was any rules or things we needed to know about - of which your reply was no nothing. Anyways, you then walk away and I came to speak to you. You then told me your explanation or which i clearly understand and again I apologized, of which I also said that never had someone has complained at any venue that we not allowed to bring an energy drink along, of which you responded well Im obviously not doing it long enough (im a service provider).I responded and saying I have been doing this for 7 years , of which you responded you have been doing it for 25 years, of which i said well sorry im not 50 (I guess that was some sort of sarcastic but no need to be a cool cat - Consider you are doing it so long im sure you must be). Now bare in mind we have been having refreshments the whole day at your venue, we spent money at your venue before consuming a non alcoholic energy drink of which you don’t even sell. Only of which to be compared to 100 considered to be doing the same as a defense mechanism from you to justify your insults. What tops it off is the saying when you said, “Jy moet groot word!” , really? Was that necessary? So professional? Then you told me to go sit down as im your child? I apologized on both issues you had and hence we didn’t swear another i cant believe you treat people like this. I hope to never work at your venue again, of which i told you. Everyone else here can say you so sweet, of which im sure you are, but the way you treated me has no explanation besides to say you have no respect , I treated you with respect every time but you are insulting to someone you don’t know. Never in my life has anyone had the audacity to have spoken to me the way you did in such a unprofessional manner and treating me like a child. So in your words, im equal to all as Im a paying guest, so as a paying guest i would like to rate the service given. In reply , as per Facebook page

I would like to thank Kuungana Bush Lodge for the wonderful wedding they gave me and my wife Michelle Lochenberg.I would wholeheartedly recommend any person to keep your wedding venue with them. Everything was exactly as they imagined it for us and our wedding was really a success. Heinrich and Michelle really go out of their way to make sure everything is exactly as you plan it and go the extra mile to provide for all of you and your guests needs. The food was excellent and very tasty.The venue is very beautiful and even the other service providers they recommend like the photographer and so on are immensely professional and fun to work with.Thank you again for all your help, advice, patience, and professional service you provide. I give you a 10/10 with an open heart!
