The Chalet units are well-appointed, with comfy beds and great self-catering facilities. It is 20 km from the Hoedspruit town. The view of the Olifants river is spectacular, with hippo, water buck and amazing birdlife. Pels Fishing Owl was a truly special bird to see, along with White-Crowned Lapwing. A highly recommended weekend breakaway.

Hi Rina.
I just wanted to thank you so much for a wonderful stay, this is a little piece of paradise
for sure. Dave and I have had the privilege of working and visiting
some of the most pristine wildlife areas Africa has to give and I can
say that these past few days have been amazing and we have been able
to connect as a family again and enjoy the marvelous scenery around us
while being here. Thank you once again for a memorable stay.
We hope to see you soon again now that we know where you are.

What a gem! Chalet 10 is probably the best placed chalet in this tranquil but beautiful resort. We saw in 2 nights as many hippos as one would like to see right on our comfortable verandah overlooking the Olifants! There were Nyala, Steenbok, Duiker, the most elusive Bush baby, big Bats and many more to see. The facilities on the resort is also well maintained and since the facility is changing ownership there was nothing at the kiosk barring ice, firewood, fire lighters and cold water. This however did not take away the cleanliness, the friendly demeanor of the receptionist, who was quick to douse my skepticism regarding the notices to warn about lions with camera trapping pictures showing the lions roaming the property at night and the rest of the facilities are well maintained. Thank you! The stay was super memorable and the chalet well-kept, clean and superbly furnished. A bonus are the aircons!

It's a place of tranquility, very peaceful and beautiful. Located on the river Bank of the Olifants, the challets are very neat, designed with the guest in mind, from the two bathrooms to the braai area. Pool is very clean and the kids loved the Putt Putt. My family of 8 adults and 4 kids shared two three bedrooms challets and we were more than satisfied with the arrangement, the kids slept upstairs and had fun. The couples had the master bedroom with it's own bathroom, the living room opens to an external living area with views of the Olifants River and a well thought of braai area with a tap and boma set-up for those star gazing nights. The hippos come out to graze around the challet at night.

The river view was a pleasant surprise. Visit from Hippos every night. The prolific bird life along the river will have us returning again and again. Bushbabies visited at night. Was a magical break away with beloved family.We will definitelyh be back.

We had an excellent stay at no 9. The rooms were well appointed and arrangements made by Rina was spot on. Thanks for the dinner recommendation! Excellent dinner at nearby Three Bridges Restaurant, result in us driving back from Graskop to have a second dinner there!! We'll be back at the chalets soon.

The property is located in a private estate, spectacularly on the banks of the Olifants River. Unit 9 is located in the shade of an ancient Jackalberry tree where the resident troop of monkeys and a variety of birds keep us busy during our early sunset cocktails on the veranda. Location, location location as the saying goes. We could see a lot of waterbirds including a giant goliath herron fishing in the shallows. A waterbuck lazily wandered in front of our veranda and keep us entertained for long. After our return from our dinner at nearby Three bridges Restaurant (thanks for the recommendation Rina), we thought we return to the city with all the lights glowing in the dark- only to discover a wandering hippo and a herd of impala, resting on our lawn!! What better way to end off an excellent day.

Great house located directly on the banks of the Olifants River. Amazing view from the bedrooms and the terrasse. At night the hippos get out of the water to graze on the meadow in front of the house. We loved it so much that we decided to stay longer!
