“A wonderful bush experience that will be hard to forget”

The staff went out of their way to ensure we had a memorable holiday. Annie, in particular, was fantastic. (My kids call her the "G.O.A.T".

“They're so friendly, welcoming and They have a good customer's service”

The staff are so friendly and welcoming

“It felt like home”

The host was very friendly

“Amazing service and attention to detail by Annie and the staff!”

An hidden gem. Quiet and very cosy tented lodge.

“Lovely stay, lovely staff. Lodge is exceptional, I’d definitely be looking into coming back, with a more suitable vehicl”

Very tranquil, perfect for peace and quiet. There’s no reception except via WiFi connection so if you wanna take calls while there, you might want to reconsider

We were incredibly impressed by the lodge – your help was simply outstanding. Everything was perfectly arranged, and the host’s assistants were joyful and absolutely delightful. We ate exceptionally well. Truly no words. Annie and John, we’re deeply grateful for the warm and loving treatment and everything else. A very special thank you to the amazing attendants – your warm smiles and joyful greetings made us feel truly welcome every single day. The food was absolutely Delicious! We left longing to stay more. Thank you so much!

“Wonderful”

A very pleasant stay — the rooms and tents were clean, cosy, and well-designed, with lovely outdoor showers. The food was enjoyable, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Annie, the host, made sure everything went smoothly. My 2 year old had a blast. I'd be happy to return.

Annie is one of the most lovely hosts we ever had!

“Relaxing, peaceful, friendly home from home in the bush”

Annie is so friendly and helpful. Everywhere was immaculate and exceptional quality. Wonderful breakfast of fruits, yoghurts, pastries and full English. The staff went out of their way to cater for our fussy eater son! Evening meals delicious. We loved having sundowners up the lookout tower. A fridge in the room was a bonus. Only 40 mins from Orpen Gate. Such a relaxing location we will definitely be back and for longer next time.

Annie, Betty and the rest of the staff truly went above and beyond. We will not hesitate to visit again.

“Excellent”

Everything about the property is great, lovely dinners, lovely ladies from reception to the serving. Lovely room, very clean and cosy. The location also great, I’ve travelled more than three times and I use a small hatchback but the roads aren’t bad.

“Lovely and memorable”

Great location - not too far from Hoedspruit airport and in a private reserve that's a great hub to explore around Kruger. The lodge is very cosy and intimate. Reminded us of camping, while still having all the necessary facilities and feeling looked after. The staff were all brilliant and qualify as one of the most welcoming people ever.

“The animal hip and the place of hospiality”

Frome the Malachite king fisher lodge you are even able to spot animals while resting at your bed. Spot from a Serval, Civet heeps of different bird speacees, lizards ect.

“Nice and friendly place”

Well-designed rooms / tents with outdoor showers which we loved. Very good food, dinner as well as breakfast. Very nice staff and owner. Just good to know that it is quite a long drive (approx. 12 km) from the main road to the lodge which needs time. Zebras and other animals are walking nearby, in particular at breakfast time. Great!

“The perfect stay for the Kruger Nationalpark area”

The lodge has a lovely vibe, and the different rooms are comfortable, clean, and well-organized. If you’re lucky, you might even spot wild animals while at the lodge. Annie is an amazing host and did everything to make this one of the best stays I’ve ever had. I’d love to come back anytime.

“A wonderful bush gem.”

A real little gem. The staff are so attentive. The food was delicious and Betty took care of our every need. The rooms are clean and welcoming - with both fan and aircon. Set in Gurnsey Private Nature reserve - so many birds to see and no cars coming and going. Very quiet.

“A peaceful escape to prime accommodation and calm brilliant service in wonderful surroundings”

The staff were all very friendly and helpful, lead by Annie and Betty. They were prepared to make adjustments to accommodate us all in timings and tastes. Food is outstanding; they have a very good chef. We especially liked the honesty bar and that you could come and go at the pool and lounge as you liked. They did not overdo the lodge thing which created a very relaxed family atmosphere. And of course, seeing Roan antelope from our tent.

“We had a great stay, no complaints at all. Everything is perfect. The staff members are amazing.”

The breakfast is top tier. The staff members are very friendly and loving. They made us to feel at home.

“Lovely quiet place”

Staff, GREAT food, location, Annie, tranquility.

“Welcome home”

Exceptionally friendly and attentive. A real pleasure to visit and new friends made. Loved our tree top tent.
