Mopane Bush Lodge
Great experience, the lodge is impeccable,close to the fabulous Mapungubwe Park. All the staff is very attentive and friendly. To be recommended!

2 Sleeper Room5 Self Catering Honey Lodge Dinokeng
The room absolutely amazing, clean and just well kept. Great view and I definitely enjoyed being by the pool. The stuff was helpful really friendly and polite. The kitchen literally has everything you need (home away from home)

Tracey's (Clarence House)
We stayed over as a half wat stop between Port Alfred and Cape Town as we were traveling with our 3 month old baby. Communication with Tracey was easy, she was very quick to respond when we had any questions. The room was clean and as pictured in the photos with a very comfortable bed. There is a shared kitchen/living area between the three rooms with all the basics. There was a bit of noise coming from the road, but we had the windows open as it was incredibly hot during our stay. The room has a small fridge with snacks and drinks with and honesty jar, as well as a coffee station.

Flintbeck Lodge
Loved to stay here. Definitely coming back again to live great farm life, see wild life next to your bedroom and take strolls and little hikes just around your apartment to say hello to a giraffe :-) Staying here is really special. Great warm-hearted hosts who are offering a lot to their guests. Enjoyed evenings with bon fires before relaxing in the pool or jacuzzi. Clean rooms, good communication and a lot of tips what to do around (Pilanesberg Nature Reserve, Cradle of human mankind...). Highly recommended!!!

Moon And Sixpence - Beautiful Country Garden Rooms
We had a great stay with Cecilia and the team! They went out of their way to accommodate us and would definitely recommend.

Witmos oxwagon camp | Luxury tented camp
Would love to do it again, great scenery and amenities. Thank you very much

The Green Palm Cottage
14 of us stayed at the Green Palm Cottage, and we had a lovely time. There was ample space for us, we enjoyed the common areas, and we were able to have a nice barbeque. Also, the close walk to the beach was very convenient. Would definitely stay again

Howberry Hills Guest Lodge - The Loerie Spa Suite
What a gorgeous spot Andy has here. The valley in which his facility is located is spectacular and his place really makes it easy to relax and enjoy the view.

Thuhlo Guesthouse - Bush veld villa getaway
This was an amazing stay and my family and I will cherish some amazing memories from here. Jacques and Jolande are excellent hosts. They were very welcoming, extremely helpful and gave us a lot of local recommendations to check out. They even made necessary arrangements like adding a single bed in our room for our kids upon request. Jolande also booked us for a safari in Pridelands (Greater Kruger). The safari guide came and fetched us from our lodge and dropped us back. This was an incredible experience. We got to see some amazing wildlife. The lodge was clean and as described. It’s very safe. It’s inside a wildlife estate and we were visited by nyalas, hornbills, bushbabies and other fauna. I had some amazing, scenic jogs with the wildlife on the estate. Can’t wait to come back again. Great place for kids too. There are some excellent restaurants just outside the estate as well. All attractions and experiences are just a short drive away. Highly recommended ❤️.

4 bed boho lodge at Rainforest Ridge Eco-Resort
What a great place! You enter another world: peaceful, magical, beautiful and special. What a view over the rainforest. Don’t miss the walk down into the forest but beware : it’s steep and it can get hot so carry water. A lot of things to do within 30 minutes: birds of Eden, elephants, beaches… And Benny is one of the nicest, coolest and most helpful host I ever met: we forgot something important at the lodge and he want the extra, extra mile to make sure we get it back in time before we fly back. Thanx

Giraffe Room
An outstanding experience . Very peaceful . Three perfect hosts. Olaf has owned restaurants and is an excellent chef. Took us on Safari so we saw the caves and hippos surfacing just yards from us during lunch Don't be put off by the road. Google maps are correct, but say you are there 100 yards after the entrance on the right. Can't over praise the stay Frank

Deluxe Estate Room 6
Had a lovely 2 night stay at Viewpoint. Fortunate enough to book one of the rooms at the back end of the guesthouse, which were very quiet and secluded. Marian was a great help and always up to speed with our coming and going during the day. Breakfasts were amazing and all the staff were very friendly, thorough and efficient. Would definitely visit again.

Entire Guesthouse with Spa in Kyalami AH
The place smells divine🫶🏾 and squeaky clean👌🏾. The hosts are amazing! Would definitely recommend, it’s worth every penny.

Self Catering unit with Dam View
Wow what a fantastic spacious place. We loved our stay and would return any time when coming this direction

Charming Spot on Keurbooms River
Beautiful setting and decor. Friendly staff. Acurate description of what to expect and very good value for the money. We would visit again.

Tlonkana Suite - Itemoga Wildlife Reserve
Trymore, our ranger and Joannah the housekeeper were absolutely lovely! The lodge itself is gorgeous and has plenty of areas to hang out and enjoy the views and location. You need only bring your food and water, the lodge catered for all other needs including a fan in the room, grills and firewood for braaing. The game drive that was included in our stay was gorgeous, and Trymore was exceedingly knowledgeable and informative on the drive. We loved his company and that he answered all our silly "city-folk" questions. We were so spoilt by having the lodge to ourselves, but we feel like if you bring the whole family, it would be a vibe and so much fun!

Karoo Retreat
Perfect postcard and not "only" a stop over night but a stunning and classy farm, full of charm and taste, not mentioning the kindness and care of Laura and of Jenny. The dinner was VIP and the breakfast too. The airbnb we want to see more! Highly recommended, zero default.

DragonFlyTeepee in Natures delight
Idillic little spot, quiet and peaceful and right on the edge of natural forest, lots of bird and animal life around!

#2 - Sitatunga's Family Room
An amazing experience would have love to spend more time there especially over a weekend. Sandy is a really lovely lady and awesome host. If farm stay you like I would definitely recommend this place.

Mount Sheba Rainforest Hotel & Resort - Family
Amazing accommodation. We definitely recommend opting for the breakfast and dinner, food is amazing!! Take a pair of tekkies, they have amazing hiking trails with waterfalls. Definitely recommend. Note: I recommend activating maps long before as there are no signal in the mountains on the way there. Also the pin on airbnb took us to a remote location and was far off. Rather google the lodge and use that location. We will def go again.

Gallery Inn 2 sleeper chalet
We had a good stay with a very comfortable bed. Also the nice swimming pool was a welcome sight

Witfontein Game Lodge Room 7
Had a great stay on Johandri’s farm. Only spent one night for a stopover, but the perfect place to rest after a long day on the road. Johandri was extremely helpful from the moment I made the booking until we departed early morning. The surroundings are beautiful, beds comfortable, kitchen and common area well equipped and the hosts were so welcoming - everything you need!

Spacious King Suite in the heart of Mtunzini R1
Ngoye lodge surpasses my expectations every time. This is my second visit. Thandeka was amazing. I sent a message with a problem, instead of texting back she came to my door to sort it out in person. Sebastian was very welcoming. My room was spacious and perfect. I had a work space, a lounge and a luxurious bathroom. Breakfast was served right in my suite too. Loved it. I will be back with my family.

Coleford Lodge, Underberg - A place to unwind
She was awesome Called me Checked I didn't miss the turn bringing my biker buddies through soon
