Mopane Bush Lodge
9.1 (41 reviews)

Mopane Bush Lodge ★★★★

📍 Off the R572, on Mapesu Farm, Messina

"We camped under the iconic baobab for 2 weeks. Please know that you will be sharing it with the noisy red- billed buffalo weavers who constantly drop their thorny twigs. The wind blows the fine, powdery red sand everywhere, but then it is a bush camp. Not much activity at the little dam near the site, just 2 Egyptian Geese and a Sable. There are no self drives, and on a pensioner's budget, the drives are too pricey. However, the drive from the gate or the main lodge to the campsite is about 5km. We were fortunate enough to see two male lions drinking at a little trough, some giraffe, buffalo, 5 rhino, jakkel, steenbok, zebra, waterbuck, warthog en route, and even klipspringers, nyala and springbuck at the lodge. The 24 campsites among the Mopane don't offer much shade and the twists and turns make it difficult to access. BUT if you are looking for something uniquely different, then this is the place for you."

Vhafamadi Bed and Breakfast

Peermont Metcourt at Khoroni
7.2 (10 reviews)

Peermont Metcourt at Khoroni ★★★

📍 Casino Blvd, Thohoyandou

"Wow, what an experience! If you into vintage charm, you'll love the fun down rooms. Woke up to a refreshing surprise: no running water! Who needs a shower anyway? The aircon doubled as a decorative wall piece. Breakfast? A culinary masterpiece in mediocrity. Honestly, if you're looking for a place to question your life choices, this is it. Four stars for consistency — consistently awful."

Premier Hotel Thohoyandou

Cuckoos Nest Guest House
9.4 (26 reviews)

Cuckoos Nest Guest House ★★★★

📍 R524, Vondeling, Louis Trichardt

"Honestly, Cuckoo's Nest Guest House was THE BEST stay we have experienced in years! The guests are welcomed with massive smiles and the friendliest staff we have ever encountered. A great pool, and bar with a snooker table. These hosts have honestly thought of everything! The rooms are most amazing and the food even better!!! They welcome your children and even show them around, introducing the kiddos to the resident bunny, cat and doggy. All I can say is that we will never stay anywhere else when we are in the Louis Trichardt area!!!"

Mopane Bush Lodge ★★★★
"We stayed 3 nights in a big tent in the Wilderness Camp of Mopane lodge. We enjoyed the space and the view, not so much the very low toilet... (the only reason i rated the room avarage). We booked for breakfast and dinner, both were very good and a lot. The first day we spend in Mapunbugwe, we visited the beautiful building of the museum, and drove through the reserve, which isn't very big but has an interesting landscape, and beautiful vistas. The second day we stayed at Mopane Lodge. We enjoyed our bush walk with Chris and the cheetah tracking even more. In the end, it was already getting dark, we found her with a just killed impala. "

"Please install new blinds in some of the rooms. My room was having damaged blinds I had to fix them myself because they were not closing. I'm very disappointed. Teach your cleaners to stand by the sides while being called for room service "

Peermont Metcourt at Khoroni ★★★
"you can discuss a lot about the quality of service, the cleanliness of the premises, but in very few restaurants the chef comes to you to ask if the food was tasty. Cool guys. Good luck. I hope I will come to visit this place again. Fine people. Good food."

Chinaka Game Lodge ★★★
"Had a Lovely weekend there and would most definitely return again. Good Hunting with lots of animals. Big farm and you're in good hands with Stefano and Chris. The only constructive criticism I have is that the beds is not great for a big Oke like me. Although Chris offered to change my mattress, I still believe there is some mattresses that needs attention. There is a lovely boma at the lodge, but the braai grid is at least 40 - 50kg's and uncomfortable the use. No adjustment for height and just too bulky and unpractical which steals a bit of the atmosphere around the fire. All and all great experience for hunting! "

Purdy's Place ★★★
"reception was clearly under the influence of alcohol, mixed up my booking with a colleges booking, to a point whereby she insisted we booked 1 room, apologizing afterwards, mentioning the owners medical history as an excuse as to why she has no control over bookings. no assistance with my luggage even tho i was booked up stairs with a very narrow and steep stairway. tripping hazard at the bottom, cought me once. the wooden floor boards, made me uncomfortable to move around freely as my college pointed out my footsteps can be heard downstairs. Aircon heater not working, it was very cold that evening, would i return? not at all...Sorry!"
