Phenomenal location, the best we've had in South Africa so far. Great rooms and villas. The staff is so nice and accommodating. The food was prepared with so much love and finesse, I would compare it to a 1-star restaurant. It was more like a home with friends than an accommodation. Thanks to the great team.

A Must Stay

This place is magical! It is run by a loving family that built this place giving attention to every detail to make your stay unforgettable and comfortable. The views are stunning. We loved getting up at sunrise, sitting on the deck to enjoy the singing of the amazing variety of birds. We also enjoyed watching the stars at night unhindered by city lights. All the meals were outstanding. Delicious food in an exceptional setting. We cannot recommend this place enough. We visited in January when everything is so green and luscious. It will stay in my heart for a long time.

A beautiful home and the most spectacular setting! It doesn’t get better than this.

What a place! The photos don’t do it justice. We will never forget our stay. Beauty every direction you look. The mountain suites are just incredible. Waking up to those spectacular views was so special. Highly recommend a helicopter ride through the canyon!

Here comes a family with heart, passion, and attention to detail.

You better ask us what we didn't like! 😃 Everything was perfect! We have visited more than 30 5-star lodges, none compare to this one. The atmosphere, the food, and the people were incredible!

This was honestly the best accommodation we ever stayed in. The location, the hospitality, and the food were all 10 out of 10. You will not regret booking this hidden gem in the Blyde River Canyon. A special thanks to Sonia, Lydia, Giel, and Jacco for making our stay absolutely unforgettable.
