The guesthouse manager, Fabian, and the rest of the staff were very welcoming. It really felt like home away from home. Fabian even allowed our friends who stayed outside the estate to join us for dinner. That was very nice of him.

Our journey through the safari was nothing short of fantastic, beginning with a thrilling encounter with a sleeping lion en route to the lodge. The adventure continued with more lion sightings as we departed. Our guide, Christelle, was the highlight of our trip. Her extensive knowledge and evident passion for wildlife truly enriched our safari, transforming it into a magical adventure. We experienced great extra drives, pursuing the echoes of roaring lions and observing the serene beauty of a lounging leopard. Fortune smiled upon us, allowing us to witness four different leopards, including a surprise visit from one during our sundowner drinks – a moment of sheer amazement especially for Christelle!!.
The warmth and hospitality of Dave and Nikki made us feel like a part of the Nyala family. Their exceptional attention to detail in the dining experience, complemented by Shylet's service, elevated our stay.
Our heartfelt thanks to the Nyala family for crafting such an unforgettable and unique safari experience.

The views of the Foot of the Klein Drakensburg are absolutely to die for. I had to stop numerous times on my way to and from Hoedspruit to just take in the scenery…absolutely breathtaking and majestic!

Hoedspruit is the best town in Greater Kruger.
Hoedspruit is the best town in Greater Kruger. Reasonably priced direct flights from Capetown or Johannesburg. Rental cars at airport. Grocery stores, restaurants and a variety of great places to stay.
This is where to start and stock up if you are self driving Kruger. 45 minutes to the Orpen gate and another 45 to Letaba rest camp. Expect to see elephant on the way.

Relatively close to the Kruger Park (animals) and the Drakensberg mountain range (natural sites).
The local supermarkets (SPAR and PnP) provide all needs for self catering stays.
A range of accommodation and eating places.
Parkrun.
A waring to be patient of the access roads, if driving in. Tri-axle bulk transporters seem to use every conceivable road, many of which are hilly and not endowed with many safe and legal overtaking opportunities.

The staff are very welcoming and they gave us the best service. The breakfast was to die for. If you want to unwind and let nature speak to you, don't hesitate, book your stay now. I love the privacy and the smell of different trees that sorrounds the Lodge. It was a good experience.

Unpretentious and community driven.
Unpretentious and community driven. All people united with a common cause for good. Hoedspruit is diverse subtle and unassuming - one of Africa’s best kept secrets and one well worth preserving 👍 Who would have thought?
When We booked We thought it was a tent, but the room was on an open air deck (which would be an incredible experience during summer) but not bearable for that night because it was windy and cold the day We arrived.
The staff kindly upgrated us to the royal suite, which was AMAZING!
The food and the service were excellent.
It’s really peaceful and perfect to relax after a safari.
Be aware that the hotel is 20 min from the main road.
Thank you to Michael, Njabulo and Fanny for their warm welcoming.
Njabulo makes the Best cocktails!
Ann and Marlon were really great hosts! They cared about our trips and tried to make our stay as comfortable as possible.
The breakfast was delicious and they attended to our wishes for activities. All the staff were very ambitious and nice.
The lodge is on the Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate and you are able to see all kinds of animals even in front of your door. You are allowed to take Bush walks in the territory and if you get lucky you'll find a leopard or some hyena (we didn't).
Perfect getaway for the 4 of us. Weather was perfect and we were really grateful for the pool to cool off in. Estate road was good for a normal car. We saw lots of game both at the Bush Hut and on the game drive we took in the morning. Host was attentive and communication was good. Beds were super comfy and place was clean and well equipped
We loved the outdoor shower!! Hoedspruit town had everything we needed. Our stay was perfect and we will definately be back!!
We absolutely loved our short stay in Unembeza. We stayed in the Bullthorn room, which was just sooo gorgeous and comfortable - amazing bed / design / outside shower… The quality of the food was just brilliant, loved everything during breakfast, lunch and dinner. And just perfect service at all times.
We also enjoyed the morning walk, we even saw giraffes and a waterbuck very close to the hotel.
Would absolutely stay again and also stay longer next time!
Louis was an amazing host! he treat us very kindly and help us with anything we needed. He was very open with timetables and ready to help us at any time, also prepared breakfast for us in the hotel or to take away to our safari.
The rooms were super cozy and very clean. Views were amazing but you don’t need to look to far as we had zebras walking in front of our room and giraffes drinking from the swimming pool. Completely recommend it!
The staff is highly professional, the hospitality is above and beyond the 5-stars hotel. The food is delicious and high-quality like in a very good restaurant (don't forget they are in the middle of savannah!). The rooms are super-clean and equipped with anything you might need during your stay. You have no need to worry about anything. Whatever you ask is organized for you at the time you want. This is 5+ stars 🤩 hotel experience.
Staying in this extremely beautiful lodge was a lifetime experience that we would do over and over again! The on-site support was excellent, not forgetting the breakfast (to die for)!
The place is magical! We enjoyed the star room, the luxurious finishes all round and the pool which we had all to ourselves. Our experience was more than “5star hotel quality” and also very much “feel at home”. Would definitely recommend.
One word: stunning! We kind of accidentally got there after the hotel we booked wasn't able to accommodate us. But waauw, what a beauty this is. Great views combined with an exceptionally friendly staff and food to die for. Definitely our favorite destination for a next trip.
Great property on a quiet street in Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate. Rooms were comfortable, kitchen very well equipped. Really enjoyed the outdoor shower. Great WiFi connection. During our stay we had bushbabies, warthog, bushbock and wide variety of birds visit the house.
Everything was great, beautiful lodge and perfectly clean room and comfortable bed. Liezel and Willie were so kind and when I couldn't get a ride they even drove me to town! I recommend staying longer as there is so much to do in Hoedspruit. Try the Thirsty Giraffe.
Everything about the hotel was great. Location, the facilities and above all the Team! From the moment we dropped our car at the entrance gate to the very end. Everyone was helpful and lovely. Food was great and our game driver was the best!
Situated in the Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate made it seem like we were really 'away' from things although it was so conveniently close to town. The room was perfect and we will definitely book there again when we travel to Hoedspruit.
Clean, comfortable and equipped with everything you might need. Amazing location. Aircon and WiFi were a bonus. First timers in Hoedspruit and can’t wait to come back to this beautiful small town and cottage.
A great place to relax, explore the surroundings and enjoy the tranquility. Close enough to explore town easily. Host was very helpful with recommendations for nearby attractions and restaurants.

It was a lovely, spacious self catering unit. The collection of the keys was super easy and we were able to ask them to let us know if we could check-in earlier. Good location as well.
