    We wee apprehensive about spiders but it is what it is but we didn’t see any

    Location is great and really feels like you are on a reserve. Stumbled across giraffes just down the road. The organised safari with Theo was brilliant although didn’t see all we wanted but it’s always luck on the day. Still loved the trip

    The host, Sander, was amazing. Greeting us at our car once we arrived. He also sat down with us, and we had a lovely conversation. The pool was clean and well maintained. The food was great. Our room was neat and tidy. (You would have guessed that you were in the bush)

    Nothing. We really likedHoedspruit.

    The small, coziness of the place - not too many guests. The property owners were extremely helpful. The room was comfortable and well stocked - bathrobe, nice towels, nice chairs, nice shower stall. We loved that we could walk through the wooded area just near the lodge. Last but not least the food was phenomenal !!!

    the decor is overly “African “ but I guess that appeals more to international guests.

    Our patio wasn't exactly private, we could sit on our patio and literally see and talk to our neighbors, putting up those wood things that are on the roof on the side of the patio at the entrance would essentially make it more private. We would also have new guests walking past our patio to go to their rooms. We also had water in a glass bottle in the room that wasn't changed for days so had to fill our kettle in the basin. We know it wasn't changed as we had the same bug for days in our water and it started growing stuff.

    The breakfast was really amazing, the team really catered to pretty much anything we were feeling like that morning, and the breakfast always tasted delicious. The bar was also really great and came in handy a few times. Sander, Juliet and team were amazing hosts on our stay. It was also nice being able to see wild animals right in front of your room, being able to cycle and walk through the nature reserve or even take a drive by yourself without a guide as you a provided with a map.

    This is strictly a matter of personal preference. With only one sliding door for light we found the room too dark o enjoy and so many beautiful art pieces we had little room to place our luggage.

    Staff couldn’t have been nicer. We were even able to arrange to have our rental car washed before returning it the following day. Lovely surroundings, beautiful artwork, delicious and substantial breakfast.
