The lodge is tucked back in a quiet part of the estate, and the owner is a very, very kind woman. When I come back to Hoedspruit, I’ll stay here again!

Nice property, air conditioned, and quiet. Good communications
Our stay was very nice. Very clean place. Breakfast good and enough for two! The area is subject to power outages, so AC & fan went off during the night and there were no mosquito nets on the windows or around the bed to at least open the windows and enjoy the cool night. Otherwise no complains.
