It was clean, neat, well kept. Had nice hiking trails. The panoramic view was okay.
It was far from food places. So buy food before getting there. Very steep hil to the cottage. Best have an automatic vehicle. The water in the shower wasnt hot enough.
We loved everything from the very clean cottage to the amazing service from Ethel as well as the comfortable beds. We had a lovely peaceful and relaxing stay. The swimming pool area was awesome with stunning views. We will definitely be back if in the area again.

The room was very beautiful and Ethel was a great host to have she showed us all the facilities. Kitchen is fully equiped
We didn’t see the animals and it’s a bit of a drive
We had an absolutely wonderful two-night stay! The location is perfect, and the property itself is beautiful, spacious, and so incredibly relaxing. The bedroom was fantastic-the beds were extremely comfortable, and the bathtub was a great touch. A huge special thanks to Ethel, who was the most amazing and welcoming host! She was always available whenever we needed anything, so friendly, and even took some great photos of us. We loved almost everything about our stay. Two nights definitely wasn't enough, so we are already planning to come back for a full week next time to enjoy it even more!
The only minor downsides were no oven in the kitchen (an air fryer would definitely help!) and the bathtub water pressure being a bit low. Other than that, everything was perfect.
The location was stunning, as was the braai and pool area. Everything was clean, and Ethel was so kind and helpful. We all felt safe and relaxed there. Our upstairs family room was gorgeous, so quaint, but with lots of room. We loved our beds; they were so comfortable. The host, Karen put us in touch with a safari company, and we made incredible memories on our day in Kruger Park.
The sofa in the lounge was a bit uncomfortable, a small detail though in the bigger picture. We really were so very happy there.
Posto incantevole peccato essere rimasti così poco.
Supermooie lokatie, veel ruimte, heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel, zelfs onze afwas werd gedaan terwijl we weg waren.
The property was so peaceful and can accommodate 5 people. Its very spacious

Everything was amazing. The staff are exceptional and the place is super clean. The views are beautiful and so peaceful. Will definitely go back again. Loved it
Quiet walking trails and pet friendly
Cottages a little small and close to each other
Unless you're a goat DO NOT STAY HERE! The last 5 kilometres of road is SO BAD that my 84 year old mother was too frightened to stay. Theres NO PHONES CONNECTIVITY - unless you drive 1km away. My mother was really anxious that she couldn't call her 91 year old husband at home to check on him. We didn't even have connection to call the hosts get the gates open - a neighbour had to help us get in - they have the ONLY network that works close enough that we could call them. The hosts phones didn't even ring... There was no way to contact them to get in - imagine having a safety issue - they're not contactable. We discovered all this just a few days before our arrival and asked the hosts to make a compassionate cancellation due to the VERY REASONABLE distress of my mother. Nope. Money is more important to them so they CHARGED US AS MUCH AS THEY COULD for us to not stay. We don't have money to throw around but we made the decision that mental and physical safety was more important than money. These so called 'hosts' made a different choice - based on their own needs and not the reality of what they are actually 'providing'. Unkind. Unsafe. Unacceptable. Do NOT stay here.
Unkind hosts. Unsafe environment. Unacceptable.
The service was on the highest of a level.
Loved the staff, Ethan was exceptional and quick to respond. The place is secluded and very breathtaking
There was no water/bottled water available.
Extremely clean, staff was always available and very helpful! The place is very peaceful and surrounded by nature.

I enjoyed my stay will definitely visit again thank you Ethel amazing lady
Loved everything about@Nature Luxury Cottages. From how Karen made sure we know all before arriving. The reception from Ethel ⭐️ and all she did to make sure we are okay and know everything we can do on the property - which will be done with our next visit. We stayed in Sabel and it was more than i could ever expect. Took some photos at the pool late afternoon and it felt like we are on an Island rather than close to the Kruger National Park. Cant wait to return and just read, hike and swim🙏🏻
En immersion dans la nature , logement complet confortable
Attention l'adresse dans booking n'est pas celle du logement pas évident pour trouver de nuit
Clean and has very friendly stuff

The room, the surrounding and the service
This place gives a perfect getaway for peace and re-calibration. I also liked that the place look safe, especially for those who may be tagging with their kids. I really enjoyed my stay there.
Google maps is not up to date. It takes you to someone else's property, and in South African this can end up badly. It would be to get google maps updated. And a heater or an aircon would be great.
Breakfast was a little too expensive for the options provided, they only offer two options 1. Beef or 2. Pork. I would expect Breakfast to include both options in one plate for that amount paid.
Furniture definitely needs to be refurbished or changed altogether, the couch in the living room was very uncomfortable and the king size bed was super uncomfortable, we couldn't even fall asleep on the 4th night. The couch was also very small even for a family of 4, the kitchen only makes provision to 3 stools again NOT very effective for a family of 4. To be safe, they should consider a 6 seater table in the kitchen and possibly include arm chairs (comfortable and good quality) in the living room.
The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. The walking trail was lovely, we saw some animals. It was pet friendly which my pup enjoyed.
Cleanest cottage Ive ever been to, better than most hotels. They cleaned throughly everyday. Ethel was amazing, very friendly and accommodating. There was a day where we went to Kruger National Park and we came back to a cleaned house. Their service is just amazing. Prompt responses as well whenever you need help.
We traveled with kids and their staircase is a bit steep, the kids kept falling but overall everything else was great.
Not good.
Was cold, dry and over cooked.
The place was so beautiful and peaceful.
I didn’t like that there’s no one at the gate to open for you. You can’t even call them to open the gate because there’s no network there. We waited for a while and ended up driving back down the road to get network so we could call them to open the gate.
It’s a beautiful and peaceful place with friendly staff🥰🙂💐🥂
Nothing everything was perfect 👌 🥹☺️
Piękny basen z widokiem. Dobre śniadanie, wygodne łóżka. Przestronne wnętrze. Bardzo miła obsługa, wygodne łóżka.
Nie było kosmetyków tylko mydlo w jednym dozowniku ale też się kończyło. Nie było szamponu. Wypoczynek w pokoju był już znoszony. Nie było nawet jednej butelki wody dla gości w pokoju.
The location was great! Even the small stretch of unpaved road was more than easy to navigate in a very small car. The room was equip with everything you could need and overlooked a cute little pond and stunning views on the surrounding mountain landscape. We went on the walking trail twice and were thrilled to see a few wild animals and the sunset from the panoramic view point. Our host Ethel was incredible! She met us upon arrival and was full of smiles our entire stay.
Such a beautiful place in nature - perfect to relax and enjoy some quiet hours together🌿
The beautiful scenery and tranquility were complemented by friendly and helpful staff, especially Ethel and Godfrey. The unit was exceptionally clean.
The water was dirty, likely due to excessive rain affecting the borehole. The gas geyser frequently stopped working, leaving us without hot water.
I liked the fact that it’s surrounded by nature and it’s peaceful
Beautiful property that is nicely tucked away in the mountains surrounded by nature all around. You really feel away from everything, but it is quite close to Mbombela if you need anything.
The place is beautiful, Theres a lady Ethel, she's doing a fantastic job, she's kind and well spoken, Kitchen needs update, The knives are like spoons you can't cut even a tomato , and behind the door they wrote a price list, imagine if that spoon knife break, you will have to pay and amount that can buy a whole set of knives, the place is nice if you can bring few things to use in the kitchen!!
You might consider driving an SUV when coming to this place, the road is bad!!Remember to buy everything you might need because its a little far from everything
Really liked how peaceful it was, it was also very clean and quiet. The walking trail is very nice and the panoramic view is wonderful 😊
No real dislikes about the place, overall a good stay. Only disappointed we didn't get to see any animals but I guess you can't control their movements which I appreciate as they are wild🌿
Everything the service The place is quiet n clean The stuff is perfect

What a beautiful stay! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. Ethel was absolutely wonderful — so attentive, kind, and full of local knowledge that made our visit even more special. The cottages are stunning, peaceful, and surrounded by nature — the perfect escape. Thank you, Ethel, for such a warm and welcoming experience. We can’t wait to return! 💚
La chambre sous le toit de chaume est charmante. Les gens sont très serviables et aimables. Ils répondent très rapidement aux sollicitudes et se montrent très arrangeants. Les vues sont magnifiques et il est facile d'aller se promener aux alentours. Séjour agréable et reposant pour la famille au complet puisque notre chien a pu nous accompagner.
Le petit déjeuner peut être amélioré sur la fraicheur et la qualité des produits comme sur l'équilibre nutriotionnel. Mais livré au cottage, c'est agréable ! Nous n'avons pas eu la chance de voir les animaux sauvages qui peuplent la réserve donc un peu déçus tout en respectant le fait qu'ils n'aient pas voulu se montrer !
Very quiet and peaceful, the 2 bed apartment has lots of room and love the balcony with a braai area, very thoughtful! There’s sufficient cutlery for a family and everything works.

Please keep the dogs locked
Hôtel difficile à trouver même avec le gps (nous nous sommes perdus), aucune vue un Lodge très spartiate, le canapé sale et cassé pas du tout confortable. Nous avons eu le pire des lodges de cet établissement. Emplacement décevant.
Le lieu Le Lodge bushbaby très inconfortable sans vu
We hadden mooi uitzicht vanaf het balkon. Het was een mooi gebied.
De douche werd soms warm en dan weer koud. Maar dat was het enige.
The room is exquisite. The ladies are very welcoming and kind. It is in the heart of nature. Waking up to the sound of birds daily and the watering hole is always graced by wildebeest. Will definitely be coming back.
Nothing to like with this place
I liked the atmosphere and scenery, plus Ethol was amazing with her exceptional hosting skills.
The roads to get there.
Lovely cottage and beautiful views. The staff was extremely friendly and served us a delicious breakfast.
