“Large house with history and soul”
Absolutely brilliant. You stay in a large house with history and soul, it’s very cozy. There is absolutely everything you need. The pool and terrace with table and chairs, the what they call in SA and Namibia “braai” which is a wooden grill :) And two adorable sausage dogs! :))

“We had an amazing stay and we would especially recommend it to families with kids!”
We had a fantastic stay at Ducks Nest. Very close to the Malelane Gate to the Kruger so we did not need to wake up early at all for our 6am safari!
