Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Kruger Park

We had a fantastic stay! Nicola’s home was spotless, secure, and beautifully kept. The perfect home away from home. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, with everything you could possibly need to ensure a peaceful and stress free visit. Rihanda and her husband were incredibly warm and welcoming, always quick to respond and very helpful, even coming to see us on a Sunday evening to help us out with a minor snag. Highly recommend it.

Our stay was absolutely unforgettable! Each morning, we were greeted by kudu, wildebeest, warthogs, impala, and bushbuck right outside our doorstep—it felt like stepping into a wildlife documentary. At night, the haunting calls of lions in the distance added a sense of wild magic to the experience. The host's guidebook was incredibly helpful and led us to some truly amazing adventures—the highlight being our unforgettable visit to Kruger National Park with Kruger Pride Safaris. This place offers unbeatable value for money and an experience that’s both relaxing and exhilarating. Without a doubt, one of the most memorable stays we’ve ever had. Highly recommended!

Had the most amazing time. The place definitely looks exactly like the pictures. So peaceful and I loved how the host welcomed us. Will be visiting this place again soon. I love it.

I was worried that the house wouldn’t look as nice as it did in the pictures, but wow, it was even better in person. It is a stunning place. Open plan and beautiful, it brought the outside in. It was peaceful and animals happily wandered past. The stars at night were just insane!! It’s in a really great spot, but also close to amenities. Will definitely be back!!

Fine house, thoughtful and very helpful hosts. Decent kitchen and braii, good wine glasses - these are the things that matter! The wildlife visiting the deck was a treat - feeding kudu from a bucket, zebra from the hand - carefully… For those who don’t know Marloth Park, it’s a large, secure, gated estate. Walking after dark is discouraged because there’s a small risk from predators, not crime…. Two supermarkets, butchers and the pub are a minute’s drive away. Hope to make a repeat visit soon.

Birdsong was simply incredible—I never know places like this existed! Chris was very helpful as we were planning our trip, providing us with recommendations for game drives, grocery stores, and logistics. Upon arrival, we were met by Joan who showed us around the house and was available if we needed anything. The house itself was modern but comfortable—it was even nicer than in the pictures—and very well equipped. Our group included my spouse, elderly father-in-law, and my young adult son and his girlfriend. Birdsong provided plenty of space for all of us. Lots of animal friends stopped in to visit us—zebras, kudu, impala, deer, monkeys (so entertaining!), and a warthog family (the babies were so cute!). We had our meals on the large patio and having the pool right there was awesome. Checkout was easy—Nick stopped by to pick up the keys from us. I definitely hope we can return to the magical place again.

A beautiful home in a great location. My family enjoyed the experience and the time spent there. Will definitely recommend.

My partner and I stayed here for a “long weekend” and everything was amazing. Jeandra is an amazing host. Check-in was so easy with simple instructions. She also gave us a guide around Hoedspruit (restaurants to try, stores for different supplies and an activity guide). The home is beautiful, the pictures don’t do it justice. It has everything you need and more. We had friendly visitors including a giraffe. Everything was amazing. Like I told Jeandra, this isn’t goodbye but rather see you soon.

We have just come back from spending nine unforgettable nights at Penzhorn Rest Cottage and it exceeded all of our expectations - even better than the photos! Zonja, our host, welcomed us warmly on arrival and was so accommodating to make sure we were happy throughout our stay. Her hospitality has honestly blown us away! The highlight of our stay was the daily sight and sound of the river with nightly hippo visitors which added such a magical touch to our stay, immersing us in the beauty and awe of the African bush. Whether enjoying a coffee while reading by the river or relaxing in the ‘bosbad’ every moment felt really special to us! Zonja’s meticulous eye for detail was evident in the small touches around the cottage which made us feel right at home. This is a haven for nature lovers seeking a luxurious yet authentic escape. If you decide to book this listing you won’t be disappointed! We left feeling rejuvenated and are already looking forward to returning!

Very peaceful. Very clean. Thank you for a great stay. Will definitely recommend this place.

Great hosts It was very pleasant to meet the hosts Clean and tidy private accommodation Close to the main shops in Sabie Can highly recommend the stay as value for money

Had a wonderful stay at Jacobus's place. would definitely visit again and recommend it to friend and family. the place is exactly like the pictures. perfect if you want a quiet place

Perfect getaway. Quiet and Peaceful. Massive and comfy bed. Had the best sleep in a long time. Will definitely go back

Owlshatch had everything I needed for a comfortable and productive business trip. Recommended for anyone traveling for work.

Thanks for a comfortable, convenient stay. Just what we needed.

stunning setting, wonderful host, I definitely recommend the Forest Cottage to anyone traveling in the area. A gem of a place.

Amazing place. Ahh. In the middle of nature, amazing hosts, kept seeing giraffes, safe feeling and such a wonderful place! We sat around the fire every evening listening to the nature and my husband playing guitar. Our souls really rested. The kitchen is very well equipped and the bed is comfy. Had a swim in the river in the morning and then a hot shower on an outdoorsy feeling bathroom- is there anything better than that. Also: hosts are amazing. We had such fun conversation and the feeling is very homie. The road is gravel road but easy to drive even with a low car. Can't wait to come here again for a longer time! Also, the welcoming committee, named Maxie (the little dog) is the best welcoming ever.

Absolutely loved my stay at Klaus and Ridwaan's cabin. Cozy and fully-equipped cabin nestled up on a hill with beautiful views. Easy access to multiple nearby gate entrances to the park. And Ridwaan & Klaus were delightful hosts and it was a pleasure to get to meet them, made the stay even better 😊 I'd love to come back someday. Highly recommend!!

The place is very beautiful and intimate. From the living room, if you open the doors, you get one of the best views I've seen in Eswatini. The hostess has been attentive at all times, helping us set up the Braai and light the fireplace every night. We felt at home. There is a sense of peace here. The place is very modern and equipped with everything you need. Without a doubt, my partner and I will return.

Serene and beautiful escape from the city and town. Ideal for just relaxing with a good book and resetting. Lovely nature and birds all around. Walking trial with the river only a couple of meters walk from the cabin. The road is a bit rough and the road works to get to the destination is a bit of a pain. I am sure once the road is fixed it will be an easy and smooth drive though.

We really liked the stay, they where very attentive with us and we loved the place, surely we will return with more people so that they also know the place

A charming cottage nestled in nature, surrounded by lush greenery. Thank you, Albie, for being such a warm and friendly host. You've taken great care of us, and we truly appreciate your hospitality.

Wow, what a gem of a cottage with an amazing view and nice peaceful private space to relax. absolutely spotless and well catered. Dick was very friendly and helpful and it was a smooth pitstop for the night. Highly recommend this place. 🙂

Would love to go back!
