Description from owner

Description

Situated on the banks of the Olifants river, within a 1000 hectare Nature Reserve with giraffe, zebra, nyala, waterbuck, kudu, jackal, warthog, wildebeest, crocodiles, hippo's etc.

The thatched chalet is open-plan with a kitchen with a fridge, a queen-size bed, and a loft with twin beds. There is a steep ladder to the loft so not suitable for very small children or older folks. There is an enclosed bathroom with a toilet, hand basin and shower.

Next to the chalet is an open kitchen overlooking the pool and pool deck. It has a large fridge and a gas oven / stove. The pool deck has braai facilities and an eight seater table under shade.

The 2 sleeper thatched rondavel is on the other side of the kitchen. The bathroom is only separated by a half wall, and there is no kitchen. Cooking needs to be done in the open kitchen.

Within the Reserve you can go for game drives, bicycle rides (bring own), bush walks and walks in or along the river. The adventurous can explore the island right in front of Little Carthage which has waterfalls & potholes.

Hoedspruit is +/- 30 km's away offering restaurants, shops, supermarkets, chemists, etc.

There are lots of interesting things to do around Hoedspruit, like Jessica the Hippo, Khamai Reptile Park, Moholoholo Rehabilitation Centre, Blyde Dam Boat trips, Kapama Cheetah Breeding Centre, etc. Then the Kruger National Park, Pilgrim's Rest, God's Window and Blyde River Canyon & Potholes, etc. are all a short(ish) drive away.
