“The place is a safe haven for relaxing and I was happy to wake up and see animals ,very much enjoyed”

The place is good for relaxing as there's no TV

great tour of the coffee plantation too

The space is fantastic, the nyala beautiful, Hennie is helpful and showed us the life of a coffee bean from plant to cup

“A forest Heaven….”

Breakfast prepared by Mabel and Elizabeth was excellent. Fresh local fruit, cereal, yoghurt, toast, waffles and full English cooked breakfast. Coffee was from fresh beans grown on the farm. The Lodge sleeps 10 but we had the whole place for 3 of us. We cooked our own dinner one night, but the setting is magical in the forest - a taste of heaven!

“Gem in Hazyview”

Amazing house, hidden gem. Spoiled us with an amazing breakfast, kids loved it!

Set in nature

We enjoyed the view of the river ,the outside trees set-up and the animals around the lodge or was refreshing

The place is quiet and peaceful

“Awesome…!”

The owner/caretaker and staff were great. Owner woke up at 4am to open up the gate for us when it was mulfunctioning

We booked for 2 rooms but we were offered the entire house

The quiet, the fresh air, the wildlife

“Delightfully creepy old house in a swamp.”

The house was built decades ago and the jungle has come back to reclaim the land, leaving a delightfully spooky, dark house set in gloomy woods, with ponds and swamp all round. At any moment I kept expecting the clock and the candlesticks to start singing. Sadly, Lumiere and Cogsworth were a no-show, but the house is lovely. Very spacious and well appointed, but dark, oh my god, it’s dark! Black wood and tobacco yellow walls, dim lighting, metal sculptures, eerie paintings – the house was decorated by Tim Burton! Hennie the caretaker was a delight to talk to, very congenial and helpful. He’s a real character and worth spending time with, although, out of character for the place, he’s not a hunchback 😊 The house is set in 40 acres of lime farm and nature reserve, and you’ll see Kudu’s as you drive in. If you’re lucky, Hennie will be able to spot Bush Babies for you in the evening. I was here alone but slept well despite the odd creak and groan as the house devoured the previous night’s guest. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and the breakfast a belly-busting three course meal. Wifi is good, but unfortunately only available in the lodge next door, so that’s a mild irritant if you like to work in bed. The lodge is separated from the house by a short walk past the swimming pool, and houses the dining room, bedrooms for tour group guests and an honor bar, which always gets a thumbs up from me. A 4-minute drive away is Tank’s Bush Pub, which serves cold beer and good food in a traditional Bush Pub, which you should experience when you’re in South Africa – beer and wings under a tarp, in the middle of nowhere.

“Nice place, friendly staff”

Very Good

Hennie and his staff are very, very friendly! We booked two rooms but got a whole lodge to ourselves, it felt a little 'spooky' in the beginning but when we made a fire in the fireplace, it felt better :-). Even through the lodge is old, it was very clean. Breakfast was excellent!

“Everything one needs is under one roof.”

Hennie welcomed us so warmly and took us on a walk-about to show us all the fabulous facilities- including the Honesty Bar, breakfast room and gorgeous views. He also made sure that our Game Driver had access to the property and he was up at 5.30am to assist him. The accommodation was spacious and comfortable- we had the entire house for ourselves which was marvelous. Everything one needed was under one roof. Wood was provided for the indoor fireplace and perfectly cleaned the next day as well as the braai area. Extra blankets, water bottles and heater was provided for our warmth and comfort. The entire place was spotless and all the cutlery, crockery etc in the kitchen was washed, cleaned and packed away. All the kitchen equipment is well provided for and in wonderful condition. Our dietary needs were so taken care of and even our packed breakfast for our Game drive was done with kind and careful consideration of our dietary needs and delivered to the house the previous afternoon. Hennie even provided us with ice for our drinks and to keep the rest in our freezer. The breakfast were delicious and Mabel and Elizabeth were wonderful in all their culinary delights, which included home-made waffles and a gorgeous fruit display. They prepared for our dietary needs and were just so warm, kind and caring. They also took care of all the cleaning and organizing of the house- which we were so grateful for. We had such a relaxing and refreshing holiday, with a fire at night and at breakfast and will be back with friends to enjoy another super break. There was a generator, so thankfully NO LOADSHEDDING!!! It is also quite close to Tourist attractions and some lovely Malls. Thanks so much to all the dedicated staff at Greenfire Hazyview Lodge.

The staff was amazing, Hennie, Mme Mable and Mme Elizabeth - Thank you for everything. The beautiful surroundings - nature is amazing. The breakfast was very good.
