Vacation rentals with a firepit in Ehlanzeni District Municipality

Our stay was absolutely unforgettable! Each morning, we were greeted by kudu, wildebeest, warthogs, impala, and bushbuck right outside our doorstep—it felt like stepping into a wildlife documentary. At night, the haunting calls of lions in the distance added a sense of wild magic to the experience. The host's guidebook was incredibly helpful and led us to some truly amazing adventures—the highlight being our unforgettable visit to Kruger National Park with Kruger Pride Safaris. This place offers unbeatable value for money and an experience that’s both relaxing and exhilarating. Without a doubt, one of the most memorable stays we’ve ever had. Highly recommended!

Very spacious, neat, clean and beautifully furnished. The host was very communicative before and after check in assisting with even the smallest details. The air conditioning works wonderfully and is an absolute necessity for the area. Whilst we didn’t need it, the back up power gave us peace of mind and is something we always look for when booking accommodation in SA. The Trellidor surrounding the patio is also a great feature. The pool was clean and well maintained and the water was the right temperature for swimming. The daily cleaning was very convenient as were the en suite bathrooms in every room.

Fantastic stay. Leoni was a superb host and the property had everything we wanted. It is set in a beautiful estate with amazing walks and cycles. Lots of animals and birds passed through our garden. We will return for sure.

Fine house, thoughtful and very helpful hosts. Decent kitchen and braii, good wine glasses - these are the things that matter! The wildlife visiting the deck was a treat - feeding kudu from a bucket, zebra from the hand - carefully… For those who don’t know Marloth Park, it’s a large, secure, gated estate. Walking after dark is discouraged because there’s a small risk from predators, not crime…. Two supermarkets, butchers and the pub are a minute’s drive away. Hope to make a repeat visit soon.

This was our 3rd visit to Fairfarren. Always a great experience with lots of game visiting around the house. Despite the bush being lush and green the animals visited around the house many times a day. Large herd of 9 Nyala came every day. Very peaceful and quiet.

We really enjoyed our stay with Aurélie! The house was clean and beautiful and the host provided a very detailed welcome book about the house and the surrounding area. We did find the 52 pages to be overwhelming and sometimes it was hard to find the answers to our specific questions. We occasionally felt we were annoying the host by asking any questions and being referred to the book constantly. However, we did appreciate the attention to detail and she always answered our questions regardless. The pool was not the bright blue as seen in the reference photo but more of a green/clay - but after discussing with the host that the color is due to the inlay of the pool and being reassured that it was clean, we did enjoy it. We really loved the braai and being able to interact so closely with the local wildlife. Aurélie had great recommendations for activities and food in the area that we thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely recommend this house to those traveling to Kruger!

It was a pleasure for us to stay in this nice house. Everything was new and we felt like home. The pool is good for a cool down, for swimming it is too small. Nearly every morning several animals like Zebras, Giraffes and Gnus visited us directly at the terasse :-). We would come again!

Amazing place! Wish we stayed there longer. Highly recommend!

We have just come back from spending nine unforgettable nights at Penzhorn Rest Cottage and it exceeded all of our expectations - even better than the photos! Zonja, our host, welcomed us warmly on arrival and was so accommodating to make sure we were happy throughout our stay. Her hospitality has honestly blown us away! The highlight of our stay was the daily sight and sound of the river with nightly hippo visitors which added such a magical touch to our stay, immersing us in the beauty and awe of the African bush. Whether enjoying a coffee while reading by the river or relaxing in the ‘bosbad’ every moment felt really special to us! Zonja’s meticulous eye for detail was evident in the small touches around the cottage which made us feel right at home. This is a haven for nature lovers seeking a luxurious yet authentic escape. If you decide to book this listing you won’t be disappointed! We left feeling rejuvenated and are already looking forward to returning!

Great accommodation, very centrally located in Sabie but still peaceful. The place is very clean and well-equipped, but most importantly the hosts are wonderful. I would come back anytime!

was amazed with the response time ,and how accommodating they were in a sense of arrangements,would definitely recommend other guests definitely worth what we paid thanks

Owlshatch had everything I needed for a comfortable and productive business trip. Recommended for anyone traveling for work.

Thanks for a comfortable, convenient stay. Just what we needed.

We had a really great time at Melani's place! It was such a cute little cottage in the forest. I loved that the 'living room' is outdoors, you really feel like you're relaxing in nature. We loved the braai area and firepit and the place had everything we needed. The location was great to be able to explore the Blyde dam and Hoedspruit. If you want to do the main hikes in the Blyde River Canyon just take note that they start at the top of the canyon about an hour and 15 minute drive away. Completely doable and its a breathtakingly beautiful drive but just be aware. Kampersrus is such a quaint little area, we really enjoyed our time here. I would highly recommend Melani's place and the area in general.

Excellent place if you want peace and tranquility Maria and Stella amazing

Absolutely loved my stay at Klaus and Ridwaan's cabin. Cozy and fully-equipped cabin nestled up on a hill with beautiful views. Easy access to multiple nearby gate entrances to the park. And Ridwaan & Klaus were delightful hosts and it was a pleasure to get to meet them, made the stay even better 😊 I'd love to come back someday. Highly recommend!!

Exactly what we needed for our overnight stop. The accommodation was comfortable and well equipped and Mbongeleni was an excellent host.

Wow! What an absolutely amazing place and such wonderful hosts. The cabin is well equipped for a self catering stay, we had a braai and fire every evening. Frans and Louis were so genuinely kind and friendly, always going out of their way to help us. Being able to walk out of the property and be in nature, giraffes, zebra and impala just there and to be able to play in the river was amazing. My daughter (nearly 8 years old) didn't want to leave and wants to return!!!

Serene and beautiful escape from the city and town. Ideal for just relaxing with a good book and resetting. Lovely nature and birds all around. Walking trial with the river only a couple of meters walk from the cabin. The road is a bit rough and the road works to get to the destination is a bit of a pain. I am sure once the road is fixed it will be an easy and smooth drive though.

amazing accommodation. Richard was helpful and an amazing host.

It was a wonderful stay. Very private, away from the rush of the city but close enough to shop and visit restaurants. The gravel road is not ideal, but can be done with even a small hatchback.(Just go slowly in some sections) There is an abundance of things to see and do from this location.

Exceeded expectations. Everything worked! Was very difficult to leave and go on our adventures during the day because we just wanted to experience all the little touches and various ways to relax and dust off the city. Take a short walk to the fairy forest and have a chat with those who live there, if they’ll come out for you ;-) Be aware that the road down into the valley is flat and well-graded but there are a lot of loose rocks on the surface so smaller vehicles need to take it slow.

We enjoyed listening to the river and taking walks. The cottage has everything you need for a peaceful weekend getaway, and the hosts were thoughtful and kind. Overall, a lovely experience, this will definitely be our go-to Airbnb when we are in the area – I highly recommend.
