Dear Nicole

I wish to thank you and Taryn and all your staff for the excellent service we received – from the time we entered your facility until the time we had to leave … very reluctantly, I might add!  The venues and amenities are exquisite but the staff add so much value to the experience in its entirety.  Our compliments to all for a job well done!

 Kind regards

Thanks Elrine, have an awesome day.

By the way, my boss was very impressed with the standard of food and service.  He is a difficult man to please, so this is high praise indeed.

The spa experience was superb and we enjoyed every moment.  

Thanks to Thaba Ye Batswana, we were impressed and will definitely use your facilities again.

Kind regards

Good afternoon

The Management of SMEC South Africa would like to commend your team on the professional services rendered at our function on Saturday, 6 July 2013. The staff were top notch with a very welcome attitude of service excellence, from the ladies at reception through to the waiters with the evening function. Your chef presented outstanding food. A special note of thanks goes to Nicole with her brilliant co-ordination and organization skills which contributed greatly to the success of our event. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with her during the preparation leading up to the function. It is not often that we can say that everything worked like a well-oiled machine. You can be very proud of your staff!

Kind regard, 

Cynthia McArthy 

Good day Peter, Taryn and Marius,

 I just want to make use of this opportunity to let you know what excellent service we received from Elrine and Rogan these couple of weeks. Elrine always goes out of her way to assist with late minute bookings and changes etc.  Rogan also assisted us yesterday with our programme which already started at 08H00. These 2 people are a real asset to your company.

Kind Regards,

Good Day Elrine, 

First of all, thank you for all your hard work and dedication. We want to send a THANK YOU and tell you how much our delegates enjoyed and were extremely pleased with Thaba Ya Batswana as their home in the past year.

Kind Regards, Yiva Tiyo - Leadership Administrator, Human Resources Service Centre, JDG Trading Pty Ltd

Thank you for an absolute wonderful day – i was really stressing with the organizing of the event but felt 100% relaxed with all that pertained to TYB Your staff with special mention of Elrine is really what makes TYB an absolute wonderful venue for any function – yes the setting is lovely, the food delicious, the accomodation should be rated as 5*, but your staff are exceptional. well done – thanks , and for sure the next time round i will be in contact – the only problem is to better ourselves for the next time – very difficult to achieve. All our guests were “over the moon” with the food, setting, accommodation and our launch – some of which have stated that it’s been the best launch they have ever attended.

Goeie dag,

Ons het toe Maandagaand in Thaba oorgebly in die nuwe aangeboude eenhede. Wat ‘n ondervinding. Dit is absoluut stunning! Die eenhede is ongelooflik grand en bevat ALLES wat ‘n traveller nodig het – tot ‘n flitslig, Peaceful sleep en Doom. Die kamers is super smart en enorm. Die badkamer is groot genoeg om in te dans! Op aankoms wag ‘n heerlike bottel rooi wyn en vrugte vir jou. Die koffie, ens is meer as genoeg met koekies. Hulle het tot ‘n I-Pod stand met speakers. Die beste van als is dat jy die vensters van hoek tot kant kan oopmaak vir vars lug en net so slaap en die bos voor jou sien. (Ek is mos ‘n Kapenaar en soek die vars lug (van die see) permanent). Dis net die goggas en muskiete wat gepla het. Dalk kan ek voorstel dat hulle dit oorweeg om nette voor die vensters te installeer. Dit sal seker die enigste klagte wees as ek mag kla. Hulle “attention to detail” is meer as 5 ster – en onthou, ek het al oral gebly en kan met gemak sê dat nie een plek waar ek al gebly het kan kompeteer met Thaba nie. Die ongelooflike tuin en bos uitlegte het soveel detail met hulle potte en watervalletjies voor elke eenheid. Ek gaan probeer om Aurecon se Marketing Bestuurder te oorreed om een aand daar te gaan oorbly. Hy is nog op honeymoon! – en hy reel al ons Global en local events, bv conferences, bosberade, ens. Hy bly in Gauteng. Hulle is ook so baie behulpsaam en professioneel, ag ek kan doodeenvoudig niks verkeerd sien van Thaba nie en kannie wag om weer daar te gaan bly nie. Hulle pryse is ook baie, baie goed (R1300,00 pp per nag B&B) en ek hoop hulle hou dit so. Ek moes Dinsdagaand noodgedwonge in OR Tambo City Lodge oorbly teen R1100,00 pp per nag. Geen room service, bar, ens nie en die kamers was super flou met ‘n klein plastic showertjie. Geen koekies of enigiets nie! Wou maar net vir jou baie dankie sê dat jy my laat weet het van Thaba Ya Batswana.

Groete

Suzette Dos Santos

Thaba Ya Batswana Conference Team,

Thank you for the tone you set for the year by helping us run a successful conference. I appreciated your unfailing attention to detail. With all the last minute snags, I worried that something would fall through the cracks, but you anticipated every contingency. Several participants commented on how well you had organized the event. We are fortunate to have you donate your time on occasions like this. On behalf of the merSETA , I express heartfelt thanks for all you do.

Beste Marius,

Dra asb ons dank oor aan almal by Thaba wat gesorg het dat ons skool se afskeidsfunksie so ‘n reuse sukses was. Julle personeel het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons te akkomodeer, elke ‘detail’ wat gesorg het dat dit ‘n onvergeetlike middag was. Die skool het die rekening reeds vereffen, en dit blyk dat daar ‘n krediet op die rekening is, sal dit vir julle moontlik wees om dit aan Barbara oor te betaal? – net ‘n blyk van waardering vir die harde werk wat ingesit is- die personeel voel dat sy ‘n uitstekende diens gelewer het. Baie dankie – hoop ons kan weer volgende jaar van julle fasiliteite gebruik maak.

Hi,

Today we had a very long and exhausting strategic session, which caused me to take off immediately when we finished. I then forgot my jacket, which I so much love. I only realized that I forgot it almost three later. What got me even more worried was that when I let there were close to ten people preparing the room for tomorrow. I then thought that any of those people would have taken it for him/herself. I was shocked when I got there to realize that they saw it and kept it for me to come back for it. Please extend my appreciation to the entire team, God will bless them for their honesty. Just to give you the reason for my worry – it is a Polo jacket that I bought from the biggest POLO shop in the United States. Thanks, once again.

Regards

Dear Reuben, Marius, staff and Management,

On behalf of Quinton and I, we would like to take this opportunity to thank Barbara for her assistance and efficiency before and on the day of our wedding – Saturday the 8th of May 2010. She made our wedding day very special and insured that all went according to plan. Her prompt response to our queries and attention to detail made us feel confident in her ability to arrange and plan our special day. She is most definitely an asset to your operation. To Thaba ya Batswana staff and Management thank you for offering us and our guest your five star hospitality, it was greatly received and appreciated. We felt honored to have shared our wedding day at your venue.

Regards

Quinton and Elize Germishuizen

Hi there,

Thanks so much for a very successful event yesterday –all clients (Brand Evolution & Absa) are very happy. From my side I can just say that I have yet to work with other 5 star venues with the same service levels as yours…your staff are super helpful, friendly, visible & I would like to commend especially Sizwe & Harry for their contribution yesterday. I will definitely recommend your venue to all of my other clients. Please remember to send me the final invoice for billing asap?

Many thanks and regards

Thereza Grobler
