The view and the amazing food

There's not much we could mention here: The windows were not equipped with fly screens. Maybe we were in luck or the insects aren't gonna like inside the accommodations, but only one buck found its way into our rooms (other lodges we've visited didn't use fly screens too). Another thing are the ticks in the grass if you do hikes. There are a lot of them. However they aren't near the main lodges and if you visit at the right time you won't even recognize them.

Our stay at Tomjachu was exceptional. We've never experienced such a good combination of service, location and food in our lives (even compared to 4* Hotels in Germany, France, Netherlands and Austria). The dishes were generous and delicious (breakfast, dinner and the lunch-packages), the staff was welcoming, attentive and helpful be it in spontaneous planning of activities or the arrangement of something (like Bush Dinner, Nature Drive or Breakfast). Furthermore the view and the whole surroundings were stunning. They have different animals there (Wildebeest, Giraffe, lot of birds, reptiles and so on.). Some people complained about the gravel road. If you have no lowered sport car you could do the road easily (we had a Toyota Corolla Quest).

Fireplace chimneys need to be cleaned for bats. But staff (Abigail) was really great in helping us out, and lighting a strong fire did solve that issue, thankfully! :)

Amazing location, superb views, and wonderful wildlife on their many scenic trails. Cottage was spacious, well-furnished and supplied with everything you need for a bush breakaway. The lodge restuarant had tasty meal options and accommodated our food requests.

During the hotter periods, a blast of aircon would have been lovely.

After a short dirt road drive, we arrived at Tomjachu.. and it’s exactly what the brochure said. Excellent welcome to a lovely place in the bush. The bush dinner was a great experience.

The welcome and attention when we arrived was awesome. The rooms were good and the facilities were lovely. We did 2 of the walks and the views were beautiful. The food however, did not meet expectations and was lacking. We only had dinner there so maybe their breakfasts are better but unfortunately we did not try the food again. Hospitality was great.

Nothing, we LOVED everything.

In one word... HEAVEN. What a beautiful place, animals such as zebras and wild beasts right on your doorstep. Beautiful walking routes where you can encounter for example impala and giraffes. The cottage, the location, the food, the staff..... sublime! Just an incredible place.

The gravel road leading to the resort

The isolation of the location was great i needed the escape.

It’s too far away from the activities

The kitchen in our apartment needs updating - it's dark and looking a bit tired. Even though the roads are graded several times a year I would recommend a 4x4. The bush experience - dinner under the stars was disappointing - there was no 'game drive', the food was over cooked. The staff never explained what the food was, which was disappointing especially as we had guests who it was their first time in South Africa. It all seemed very rushed - in just over 1 hour we were finished and the staff wanted to go home. Not worth the money. It could be magical - just needs some work.

Beautiful location overlooking the mountains. Great to have your own private pool. Even more magical was when a zebra came to drink from the pool! Room was spacious and clean. Staff were super friendly and were always willing to help with anything we needed.

The breakfast was really amazing with great service. Location deep within nature which is so peaceful. The staff was really helpful and friendly. As our cottage was far from the Homestead so we had our own taxi driver (the ranger) to pick us up and drop us off :D

There is nothing i didn't like

I liked the quietness of the place and the privacy you get, the room that we stayed on was very clean and neat, not forgetting the overview of the mountains that is so spectacular

Let's do more 'TV shows'.

After 4 months of travel, we arrived here very tired. The best thing I did during my 4 months of travel was to book here. There has never been a place like this and it will never be. Even the staff and guests I met here were kind and very nice people. I was really sad to leave here. This place became my future dream that I really want to come again. Thank you all. Thank you so much!!! next time we meet, I will learn a lot of English! I couldn't express my whole heart because I was not good at English. (Dinner here was great happiness and healing. Best food)

It was a great experience overall. Staff were nice and always there to help. I appreciated that chefs made the efforts to cook vegan food despite not being on the menu. We rented the bikes to go on a tour of the area and we encountered many animals: amazing experience. The place is great to relax and be more connected with nature

The scenic property

The beds were a bit hard and the carpet should be replaced in the bush cottage as it has a smell to it.

Amazing location right outside Nelspruit. The bush dining experience is one to never forget. The staff is most amazing and highly recommend fishing when having a spare few hours
