Cottage holiday rentals in Mpumalanga

What an amazing place to stay! We had the most wonderful time watching game walking right past our porch while the children swam in the pool. We even saw buffalo and hippos from the pool that were grazing across from the house on the river bank. The hosts were so kind and helpful. They communicated well and made us feel right at home. We really hope to return again one day.

We had a great stay at Ingrid’s! The cottage is beautiful. We stayed on a particularly cold night so we appreciated the fireplace, the heater, and the warm blankets! Would definitely stay here again!

Great stay in the bush! Perfect setting with several fine touches left by Louise. We had a late booking and she was amazing at assisting us on short notice. The house is very well kept and it was a great place to stay for a few days. Will definitely recommend when visiting Marloth park

Such a lovely house. So much character and charm. The pictures don't do it justice. Really enjoyed our visit there, will definitely be recommending it to friends and family.

This is one of the best places I’ve ever visited.

We had the most wonderful stay at Anthill cottage. It is beautifully situated in the bush and has all the amenities you could wish for. We were well looked after by Lipton and Tuli. The cottage is with easy access to Orpan gate and activities to do in and around Hoedspruit. I can highly recommend a stay at the lovely accommodation

We had a fantastic stay at Mona Cottage. Carmen and Mike are great hosts. Pilgrims Rest is a lovely village and it is so sad that it’s reputation seems to have been tarnished by the Zama Zama activity in the area. They apparently keep to themselves and as two women travelling together we felt perfectly safe in the village and cottage. Unfortunately the village closes down at 4.30pm and so we were not able to eat out for dinner. However, the kitchen at the cottage is very well equipped and we cooked up a storm. I highly recommend Carmen’s place and I encourage people to visit Pilgrims Rest for a few nights.

We really enjoyed our weekend. It was so relaxing to chill in the hammock and watch all the birds and squirrels. Place was well equipped with no less than 3 places to braai. Great location in the quieter part of the reserve but still close enough to the shops and restaurants. Was a bit cold for us to use the pool but we'll be back!

The place was exactly what I needed to reconnect with nature. Peaceful and quiet surroundings. The host was very welcoming, proactive communication and always available to assist with few requirements. I had a flat tyre and she sent someone to assist me without even being asked; this was such an amazing gesture in customer service. What an awesome host, humble and easy to engage with.

Incredible stay. Love Kaapschehoop. We will be back

Our stay at Butterfly Cottage was exceptional. The sunsets are breathtaking making it an unforgettable romantic getaway. The cottage is homely and comfortable, with everything you need. Philip's presentation about the stars was informative, comfortable and awe-inspiring. I'm not sure what we enjoyed the most - the pool, the cottage, the tuckshop, the horses, the bushveld, the game drive or the stars. Our stay was so much more than just a weekend getaway, it was an experience of excellence. I highly recommend you do as much as you can, you won't regret it!

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage! It’s truly a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle — quiet, calm, and surrounded by nature. The cottage is so well-equipped with everything you could possibly need, and you can tell a lot of thought and care went into making it feel like a home away from home. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even more special. I left feeling completely refreshed and can’t wait to return!

A perfect stay to visit the Bryde Canyon and the Panorama route. The stay offers a well equipped kitchen and cozy beds. We had a very good feeling about the safety in the area.

We had a wonderful stay—peaceful surroundings, warm hospitality, and a perfect escape to unwind and recharge.

You have to go here, you’ll have no regrets. The host is always responsive, from the day you book to when you leave. They are always willing to help. Its in the bushes, so they also come and check if you’re still fine from time to time. They clean the place every morning and really, that’s just a few of many things they help with. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back, for longer. Thank you, Bushveld.

Marcelle and Fritz are sure super hosts. Fritz was waiting to welcome me at the gate. I felt at home and in love with the property before getting inside. I would have loved to stay longer to enjoy the beauty and hospitality. My room was more beautiful, homely, and better than pictures and words can capture. I sure will be back.

My partner and I had an amazing time there, so peaceful & such breathtaking scenery. There's a forest trail, drinkable streaming water, friendly monkeys who pop by often (just don't leave your food outside lol). Such a perfect place for outdoor people and there's so much to see and explore. Gerrit is such an incredible host, probably the most wonderful we've encountered. Highly recommend this place and when you visit, please do say hi to Pinkie. 100 points for Gerrit!! lol

We booked a 4 nights and 5 day stay at Camille’s place, not only was it worth the price but it was stunning. The park is so beautiful and peaceful. The view is absolutely to die for. Having to stay at a place where animals just roam freely and you can have them come visit in your own backyard was an experience never to be forgotten. There is so much to do in and around the park which means you do not even need to leave the park to do activities.I will definitely be back for another stay.

I enjoyed my stay I will be booking for the 3rd time now.

This is my second time staying at this lovely cottage. Ashley is the best host, super friendly and always goes above and beyond to help you. Highly recommend this lovely place

The pictures don’t do this serene beauty justice! This was an awesome getaway for me and my family , I even saw a Rhino during my self drive. Worth it! Elliot made sure we were well taken off at all times

Liz is awesome! Great host and was very understanding about my husband being on call and having to leave at the early hours of the morning. The place is clean and neat and although there were some issues with wifi and heating, Liz let me know beforehand and gave us an extra heater. Lots of blankets in the cupboards and access is super easy. Very safe and plenty of parking with electric closed gate and security. Would definitely stay again. Thankyou Liz!
