SUGARBIRD HOUSE EDENVELDT FARM

DanielRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Guthrie's house was amazing - amazing setting in Cederberg and very tastefully furnished. It was our privilege to stay at their family farmhouse. Slightly out of the beaten way but broadly speaking a great place for a getaway.

Bush Baby Haven | Self-Catering House | HWE

MariekeRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Bush baby haven is really the perfect vacation villa. Very private and incredibly safe. We completely unwinded here! The rooms are clean and spacious. It is also nice to have a shower, bath and outdoor shower. The braai and the swimming pool are a nice addition. But what really made it fantastic for us were the animals (especially the Bush babies but also certainly the diver, porcupine, nyala, squirrels), so sweet and cozy (and therefore no annoying insects). Tanya is so warm and friendly! Don't hesitate and go here to relax and unwind!

Crocodile Rock River Lodge, Mjejane Game Reserve

LeeanneRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This is by far one of the most beautiful places to stay in the Kruger. The drive from the airport is scenic and the roads are good. John was extremely good at communicating all important information as there is a lot to be aware of due to the magnificently wild location and experience. It's also close to malelane gate. We went with family and friends and small children and because we love nature and the bush experience everyone was spoilt. We saw lions on entry into the reserve which was an amazing way to begin the trip. Access is efficient and quick and if we hadn't wanted to go into Kruger we still would have had amazing sightseeing in the reserve. we did a game drive on our first morning and the guide was very knowledgeable. Our kids spent all day swimming and sitting next to the fire at night. The kitchen and braai area had everything we could possibly have needed for preparing meals and picnics for our trips into the park. Thanks for a stunning and memorable holiday āœØļø

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The view was simply breathtaking waking up each morning to such a serene and beautiful landscape was a highlight of our trip. The area is incredibly peaceful and quiet, which made it the perfect place to relax and unwind. Inside, the home is just as impressive. The interior was beautifully designed, with thoughtful touches and tasteful decor that made the space feel warm, comfortable, and inviting. Everything was spotless and well-maintained, and it was clear that a lot of care went into creating such a lovely atmosphere.

Wonderful soul-renewal stay. Well designed home with perfect views from every angle.

Bert was an incredible host. Not only was the house everything promised and more, they were very helpful and accommodating for our esports team. When we ran into electricity issues they came to our assistance immediately and went above and beyond.

This was our second stay at Henning’s place and we just cannot get enough. It’s such an amazing serene getaway in the most stunning location and beautiful home. We had a wonderful bday weekend playing games, cooking food and the fireplace was a great accompaniment with the cold weather. The home has such an incredible view of the ocean and can be seen from almost anywhere. Truly a special stay one of a kind stay. Hazel is always so friendly and hospitable. Thank you Henning and Hazel, we will surely be back.
