The lodge is perfect for a stay in Hoedspruit; with an easy drive to Kruger Park. The wildlife come to within meters of the garden which makes for exciting and interesting viewing from your patio. The hosts Sue and Deon will do everything they can to make your stay wonderful. Would definitely recommend.

We had no idea what to expect for our two nights and man were we happy with what we found. A safari before and after our safari - the property sits in a reserve!! The hosts are incredible and helpful. Local restaurants were fantastic. Rooms are great - breakfast outstanding - while watching the wildlife! Thanks - it was a wonderful part of our 5 week SA adventure.

Lieu calme et charmant, enclavé dans une petite réserve animaliere arborée. Le logement indépendant est spacieux et joliment décoré. Très bon accueil des propriétaires. C'est un très bon choix pour visiter Blyde Canyon ou pour faire une pause quand on descend le parc Kruger du nord au sud.

Speziell gelegenes schönes Haus und tolle Gatgeber

Super schönes Haus mit tollem Garten. Sehr netter Empfang mit erfrischendem Gesichtstuch und Welcome-Drink. Tolles Frühstück am Pool serviert. Der kleine Tierpark (begehbar) grenzt an das Grundstück, Tiere sind teils direkt vor dem Garten zu sehen. Zufahrt ist durch ein offizielles Gate in den privaten Resortbereich (wenn man es weiss einfach zu finden...)

Diese Unterkunft ist einfach grandios. Super nette Gastgeber, ein großes, liebevoll eingerichtetes Appartement und ein schöner Garten mit einem kleinen Pool. Das tollste aber ist die Lage in einem kleinen Wildreservat. Die Tiere kommen bis an den Gartenzaun und man kann zu Fuß durch das Reservat wandern. Nachmittags, wenn die Schatten länger werden und die Farben wärmer, ein unvergessliches Erlebnis. Ganz in der Nähe gibt es auch ein sehr ansprechendes Restaurant.
