    This was my second stay at Ukuthula and could not have been happier with everything once again! Fabian communicated with me immediately upon making my booking and ensured a smooth and easy check in. The staff is wonderful, the food fantastic, and one of the top options for accommodation in Hoedspruit!

    I was happy about everything

    The guesthouse manager, Fabian, and the rest of the staff were very welcoming. It really felt like home away from home. Fabian even allowed our friends who stayed outside the estate to join us for dinner. That was very nice of him.

    Really nothing

    Nice and quiet setting in the middle of the bush. Food was excellent, staff and Fabian and his family very friendly and keen to meet all the wishes you could have. The room (drongo bungalow) was very spacious with inside/outside showers even a tub and very comfortable kingsize bed with mosquitonet. There was a safe in the room, a refrigerator and everything you could wish for. The pool was nice and the setting in the wildlife estate great to venture out and look for animals. I will definitely go back.

    Limited menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

    As the name says Ukuthula is such a quiet place, a very great place away from busy city life. if you just want a place to chill and wind down then Ukuthula is a place to be. My partner and I loved it so much. The breakfast was good but very limited. Not a lot of options to choose from but overall good. Fabian, the owner and the ladies were always making sure that we were ok all the time. they were very friendly.

    This is very small but beautiful. Location of this resort is very good, quite and peaceful. Its very good for the a group travelling together as total 6 cottages are there, so it will provide you exclusiveness. Rooms are neat and clean. staffs are very cooperative. You will have limited food options ( considering forest area its not bad however, Asian/Indian vegetarian may find difficulties in choosing from menu) but very good food one can have there and best part is that the way the serve you ..soothing music, deem lights ( looks like very natural) it gonna make your night memorable...

    Really enjoyed the hospitality! They made an extra special effort given it was our honeymoon with lots of special touches. Fabian picked us up from the airport himself and showed us around the Hoedspruit wildlife estate. Wifi and lights and fan still worked during load shedding! Facilitated an early morning game drive for us which was amazing!

    Gorgeous! Clean beautiful house, delicious food. Very friendly host and staff, who tried to create a warm, homely atmosphere. The place is located in a natural park and is very good for wildlife lovers. We walked around the park and saw a lot of pumbs, antelopes and giraffes, which we even managed to get quite close to. It was a very amazing adventure!

    None. We were treated well and the hospitality of staff and owner was commendable.

    Fabian the owner personally welcomed us to the lodge with his wonderful staff. Because it was our anniversary they went out of their way to solidify the special moment with flower arrangement in the room as well as some bubbly. Great few days at this lodge.

    You pay for everything, even extra juices and drinks during dinner and breakfast They don’t allow own alcohol Disappointed by the 3rd party game drive: rather organise direct with the service provider to avoid price inflations and also be able to complain should become unhappy with it or the service rendered!
