Recomendo ##### Luciano Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eveline Dec 8, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Bed and breakfast in a small nature reserve which means animals are always close by. Well designed rooms (we had the Leopard room) with a deck that looks out on the river bed. Large room, good bed with musquito net and large bathroom area (also outside shower). Hosts are very friendly and love their b&b which can be seen in all details that have been thought through. Note that this is b&b so you have to drive (5 min) to hoedspruit to have dinner. ##### Eveline Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Nov 11, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Super schöne Lodge!

Maravilhoso! Único! Os donos Ivette e Edgar são maravilhosos, simpáticos, solícitos, fazem tudo pela gente! Deram mil dicas sobre tudo, sobre todos os safaris, onde ir no Kruger, onde jantar, onde passear. Eles fizeram um churrasco Sul-africano para nós que foi perfeito! Interagimos muito com eles e com os hóspedes! O hotel é pequeno, mas absurdamente exclusivo, reservado, lindo, bem distribuído, com javalis e Kudus no quintal! Eu voltaria mil vezes para lá! E ficando lá, fizemos safaris na reserva privada do Manyeleti! Perfeito! Amei mais que tudo e me despedi como se estivesse deixando minha família para trás, de tão apegados que ficamos! Recomendo um milhão de vezes! ##### Michelle Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren Sep 27, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic stay can’t wait to go back!!

The owners are both Dutch and they were super helpful and kind from the beginning. There are only 6 rooms in total and we stayed in the Elephant Room. The room was spacious, beautiful and clean. We especially appreciate the fact that it had both a fan and and AC, as it could get quite warm in South Africa. ##### Jack Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 23, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Pretty cool waking up to kudu and zebra roaming through the lodge grounds. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim Jan 17, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Gemütliches Hotel mitten im Park Wir waren mehr als zufrieden. Die Zimmer sind sehr gemütlich eingerichtet, das Bett bequem (mit Moskitonetz) und alles sehr sauber. Die Klimaanlage kühlt das Zimmer ratz fatz runter und die Außendusche ist genau das richtige nach einem Tag bei 40°C im Krüger Park. Bei der Größe der Unterkunft ist es auch einleuchtend, das es kein Abendessen gibt, dies stellt aber mit Hoedspruit um die Ecke und den dortigen Restaurants kein Problem dar. Je nach Buchungskanal erhält man eine Nachricht von der Unterkunft mit Weganweisungen (es ist leider nicht überall möglich), sollte man diese nicht erhalten haben, unbedingt die Unterkunft kontaktieren, das spart einiges an Zeit und Nerven. Kennt man den Weg einmal, ist es einfach zu finden, ohne die Anleitung ist es allerdings mehr als wahrscheinlich, sich odentlich zu verfransen. Anders als im Krüger Park hat das Tor zum Einlass in dieses Reservat (zumindest der separate Eingang zur Lodge) keine Schließzeiten. Man erhält einen Code (beim Check In) mit dem man das Tor jederzeit öffnen kann und so ist es auch egal, wenn man erst um 22Uhr (oder später) vom Abendessen zurück kommt. ##### Kim Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### pedro Jan 7, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sem igual !!! Estávamos em lua de mel, a recepção dos proprietários foi simplesmente incrível (suco e toalhas umidecidas ) mesmo tarde da noite, o GPS não iniciou o local certo, mas a proprietária foi nos buscar com o seu carro. O quarto e simplesmente sensacional !!!se um dia voltar ao kruger, ctz q ficaria lá novamente (detalhe : a pousada é novinha em folha ) menos de 1 ano .
