Holiday house

Detached villa right next to Kruger


Spacious 6-person holiday villa with thatched roof and large veranda with BBQ in front, well-equipped modern kitchen, 2 modern ensuite bathrooms each with its own shower, bath and double sinks. Just a 5-minute drive from the Phalaborwa Gate of the Kruger Park. From this Gate, the rest camps Mopani, Letaba, Olifants and Satara in the Kruger Park can be visited in a day trip. 

Looking for adventure and unique experiences? Then take a boat safari (bookable through the Lodge) or go ballooning in Hoedspruit via "Sun Catchers Hoedspruit", Canopying in the Magoebas Gorge near Tzaneen via "Magoebas Kloof Canopy Tours" or go boating in the Blyde River Canyon via "Blyde Canyon Adventure Centre". All possible via a day trip from our holiday villa. 

The spectacular Panorama Route with the tourist attractions 'Gods Window', 'Bourke's Luck PotHoles' and 'Three Rondavals', is also a day trip away from our holiday villa, as well as Pilgrims Rest, a unique miners' museum town and a number of spectacular waterfalls, such as the MacMac Falls, the Lisbon Falls and the Berlin Falls. 

Feel free to contact us if you would like help putting together your unique holiday!

Quietly located on four star lodge "Bush Villas On Kruger" (average rated at 9.8). With large swimming pool (15 by 5 meters) at Lodge and excellent restaurant "The Calabash Grill" nearby at adjacent lodge (5 minutes walk via footpath through beautiful garden). Large Spar supermarket 5 minutes walk. Restaurant 'BushVeld Terrace' on the edge of the Kruger Park at 5 minutes by car.

Perfectly suitable for several couples or larger families due to 3 separate bedrooms, each with its own air conditioning and WiFi via fiber optic internet. Equipped with a battery system so that the power in the holiday villa does not fail during "Load-Shedding" periods. Bed linen and kitchen linen are provided by the Lodge. Daily cleaning.

Downstairs in front of the veranda is a large "braai" to BBQ yourself. The spacious garden around Tambotie has various native trees and shrubs. Nice view from the veranda of the Lodge's fishing pond. 

Ideally located in the safe South African town of Phalaborwa ('hometown' of the Amarula liqueur!) just a 5 minute drive from the Phalaborwa Gate of the Kruger Park and the excellent restaurant "Bushveld Terrace" on the edge of the Kruger Park. From the Phalaborwa Gate there are several beautiful routes through the Kruger Park. We are happy to give you tips on this!

About a 5-hour drive from Johannesburg airport. Onward flights from Johannesburg to Hoedspruit are possible with Flyairlink, a great airline from South Africa. From the airport of Hoedspruit it is about 1 hour drive to our holiday villa.

Explanation of the prices & cancellation policy

Our rates are per night or per week. For a stay of two consecutive weeks you will receive a 5% discount and for a stay of three consecutive weeks a 10% discount. This discount does not apply to last minute offers. The settlement of this discount takes place via the second payment.

Arrival time from 14:00 and departure time no later than 11:00. Cleaning, bed linen and kitchen linen are included in the price. Please feel free to contact us if you are dealing with a special time of arrival or departure (for example due to a night or evening flight). 

Various safaris and several day trips are possible through the lodge. If you have your own rental car, you can also do your own research, both in and outside the Kruger Park. The first 10 bookers in 2025 will receive a free map from us, on which all car routes in the Kruger Park are clearly indicated. Very handy when (planning) a self drive safari!

For an additional fee, you can use the breakfast buffet at restaurant 'Calabash Grill' on Sefapane. It is also possible to order a BBQ package through the Lodge, so that you can 'braai' yourself on our own BBQ in front of the veranda.

Would you like to record 1 or more of these extra things in advance? Please let us know when booking, and we will arrange this for you at the Lodge. You must pay for these extra items yourself at the reception of the Lodge.
