Leadwood Lodge is a house in the heart of Tzaneen that was converted into a guesthouse in 2023. The house is situated on a large property surrounded with beautiful gardens and birdlife. The house has three bedrooms each with their own private bathroom. The Queen Room with a pool view boasts with a spa bath and an outdoor shower! There is a large swimming pool and deck chairs for guests to enjoy sunny afternoons next to the pool. A boma braai and pizza oven is located adjacent to the pool and is the perfect spot for family or couples to relax under the sun or stars. Communal areas: Kitchen, Lounge with TV and Smart Box, Outdoors Dining and Bar Area, Swimming Pool and Boma Braai.
Having grown up in Tzaneen and the bushveld it is safe to say I enjoy the outdoors, bushveld and spending time with my family and friends. Reading is another one of my interests. I'm a wife, daughter and teacher. I love travelling and experiencing different places and their cultures.
Leadwood Lodge is located in a quiet, family orientated suburb in tropical Tzaneen. It is located close to the schools and town is a few minutes away. The well-known Kruger National Park is situated approximately 100km away and a 30min drive to the magical Haenertsburg. Some other tourist attractions include Magoebaskloof, Debengeni Falls, Tzaneen Dam and the Wolkberg Mountains.
