The gravel roads to the lodge are a bit rough due to all the rain but if you drive slowly, you will be rewarded by the amazing venue

We received a warm welcome from Jacomine and felt like family smily by the time we left. The lodge is located in a peacful valley and has gorgeous views over the surrounding forest to the distant hills. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable, and each room had a private verandah with comfy chairs. Breakfast has a great selection and was cooked really well. Great location for birders if you can stay an extra day 💜

The Chestnut Country Lodge is located in an environment of low mountains with plantation and wood. Garden, pool, restaurant, bar and guest rooms were very clean and well maintained. Bed- and bathroom were newly renovated and had a modern design. Breakfast and dinner were rich and delicious. General manager and team provided much tourist information and material concerning Kruger Park and the hits of the Panorama Route and lokal Nature. I would definitely stay here again.

Hint: The last Kilometers of the road are not paved. Two streets to get there, one is better than the other. No TV in the room, but we didn't miss it.

Very friendly owner and stuff. Delicious dinner and very good breakfast. Silent and faraway with a beatiful view. Kruger National Park Safari available.

Mmmmmmm I'm trying to think of something which was not up to standard mmmmmm

The location is amazing and this is despite the recent storm which damaged the approach road. The setting overlooking the Kiepersol valley is awesome. The lodge itself is a surprise, as is the incredible room. The hospitality was flawless and the breakfast sublime. An amazing surprise was the shampoo which said "Cucumber and Rose". Well, I thought I'd stumbled into an English rose garden!

Absolutely nothing....

The best view, room was so comfortable 😍 as well as the staff. If you are looking for Paradise you will find it here. Breakfast was super, and the BBQ and African dance night was so much fun. We scheduled our Kruger safari through the resort, and it was spectacular . This is a gem and will not disappoint. I give it 5*.....

Shortage of parking space near the room.

The breakfast was excellent :) and the rooms were clean and ready when we arrived. I like that the lodge is in the bush away from city life, very quite and peaceful with beautiful views of nearby mountains and macadamia nut plantations. I know some don't like gravel roads, but I particularly enjoyed driving on the dusty gravel road to and from the lodge ha ha ha!

we loved everything about this place: view, surroundings, calmness, friendliness off staff and the solar powered lamps that we could use despite load shedding. we especially appreciated the tipps and information given by the management couple! we’ll be back.

Thank very much to everyone at Chestnut, i really enjoyed my time.

would easily give it a 10/10 if they had had a generator. Load shedding is absolutely awful for the entire country, so we understands it’s an extra expense. But apparently there will be one soon.

Absolutely amazing hosts. loved the rooms, the pool, the food,… the chef prepared something vegetarian with lots of thought. We’re just sad we missed their friday Braai. Really hope they (re)launch the idea of food safaris because that would be just incredible. Hpe to be back one day!
