“Had a great time here.. loved the location. Enjoyed our stay here”

“Great place to visit the Kruger Park and relax”

We spent 2 amazing days in the cottage. Jose is very-very friendly. The cottage is equipped with everything you need. It was like a home for us. It’s absolutely clean and very cozy. There is a braai zone and a big table outside so we had all our meals breathing fresh air. One of the most fascinating things was animals that came to the cottage. It’s not far away from the Crocodile Gate, near 20 km. I hope we return here one day in the future

“Great place to stay, highly recommended”

We had a fantastic stay. The accommodation is absolutely beautiful, clean, comfortable and affordable. Kitchen is well- equipped and the property well-maintained. Good quality linen and towels. The host was welcoming and pleasant. Convenient location, easy access to shops and restaurants.

“Bushveld Gem”

Jose is friendly, accommodating and helpful at all times. He has a lovely mannerism. The house is nestled privately in the heart of the bush. Modern built with beautiful interior, decor and quality bedding. Two lovely bedrooms, bathroom with a shower, kitchen with all the needed amenities and shaded outdoor seating. The place gives one a 'home away from home' feel and friendly staff, should you meet them. One gets spoiled by the many wildlife sightings within the park: kudus, warthogs, duikers, 'Bambi' deer, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, velvet monkeys, bush babies, etc. The walking/4x4 trail next to the Kruger fence, alongside the Crocodile River, is any sunrise and sunset lover's dream! The property provides safe parking and a braai area to enjoy those bushfire evenings. A 10/10 recommendation. Thank you, Ana and Jose

Beautiful home, everything you need and friendly host & Staff. Would 100% recommend and be returning

Very neat, clean and cosy

My booking was last minute, rooms were not ready but the owner went out of his way to make up for the short wait. Jose' is an awesome host. The tranquility was awesome.

We have found all what we needed and the Mr. Jose, was very friendly and welcomed my kids very well even the splash pool was cold he provided a noodle for them.

“What a delight! One of the Best accommodations I’ve stayed at!”

The host, Jose, was such a delight and so helpful🙌🏼 - great location, absolutely beautiful little place. It was peaceful and quiet. I enjoyed my morning coffee sitting outside watching the wildlife pass by - wish I could wake up like that every day! The apartment is stunningly decorated - can see a lot of effort and love went into it. Everything is neat and very clean. Definitely one of the best places to stay. Will definitely book here again.

Very friendly host. Loved the accommodation, very comfortable. Amazing shower too! Lovely finishes in the flat. Would definitely stay again. Thanks for your hospitality and friendliness.

“The owner was really welcoming and the house smelt really clean when we arrived late in the evening.We got up early to s”

I loved everything

The location, the scenery was beautiful

The location was great and the facility was clean and nicely built though it was very small.

Exceeded Expectations! The accommodations perfectly matched the pictures, and surprisingly, it was even better in person! The addition of a dishwasher was a delightful surprise, making our stay even more convenient. One helpful tip: be prepared to load electricity for the aircon, as it can get quite hot. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed and would highly recommend this place. The host has thoughtfully equipped the space with everything needed for a comfortable stay.

“Great place to visit again”

everything great, dishwasher machine was exceptional. car port also a bonus . Braai area absolutely awesome

“Perfect home from home.”

Ideal break away spot for what we were looking for. Good attention from Jose and Sibo who kept the area spotless.

“An Incredible Holiday”

My stay at Locust Retreat was absolutely delightful! One of the highlights was the wonderful opportunity to interact with the local wildlife right outside the unit. It was such a joy feeding the animals that came to visit. Jose, our host, was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The unit itself was cozy and beautifully decorated, providing a perfect blend of comfort and charm. Its proximity to all activities made exploring the area so convenient and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Locust Retreat to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with a touch of nature and exceptional hospitality. I can't wait to return!
