Two double bedrooms, kitchen fridge etc. Also lounge/ dining/hallway. One bathroom/ toilet. Very good shower. Small outdoor space, upper floor studio/ bedroom/ outdoor patio area, though unfurnished. Good off road parking. Secure, passcode to enter. All clean, 2/3* level. Good air con in bedrooms. We only used as base for 3 nights as out exploring. Would recommend. Think there’s a pool, though we didn’t explore. Very secure. The gate code was a bit iffy sometimes. All in all, would definitely stay again, and would recommend.

The unit itself was clean & functional. What I disliked was I booked a unit with private pool & paid extra yet was unable to utilise the pool as it was very dirty with tissues & debris. The water & surface was also not clean. I did let them know & have followed up with a request for a refund of the extra I paid but no response over one week later…..

Our first choice when in Hoedspruit

Our companies use Raptors Lodge very often, the 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom units are great and it is a very affordable option for us. I can highly reccommend Raptors Lodge. Rooms are absolutely fabulous

The place was beautiful and clean, situated very close to the Kruger National Park which was very convenient for us. We loved everything about our however, the the electricity went off when we tried using the stove and it took over 2 hours to get assistance which was the only downside to the stay.
