Chestnut Country Lodge

We could not have asked for a better experience from first enquiring about booking up until the morning we left. The management are super friendly and helpful and the staff are amazing. We had the most wonderful 5 nights and nothing was too much trouble. Jacomine, Beukes and Shane really pulled out all the stops to make our stay the most enjoyable it could be. The lodge is 35 minutes from the Kruger National Park and we had an amazing day there being guided by Beukes. If there is a better guide anywhere in the Kruger I would be stunned! You are also close to exceptional restaurants but yo be honest the food at Chestnut is literally too good to miss. We could not be happier and are already thinking of revisiting.

I've been to the Chestnut Country Lodge for two nights in march 24. It was my second stay and I can highly recomend the Lodge. Thank you for your kindness, your hospitality and your good advice. I'm looking forward to staying again at the Chestnut Country Lodge.

Nice and friendly hotel with restaurant. Correct prices. Nice and clean rooms, friendly staff. A beautiful garden and stunning sunsets to remember. The staff indicates everyday when to get up to see them. Good place to go forca safari in the Krüger

We travelled as a family of 3 and really enjoyed our stay here. The prompt is very well maintained and great value. Chris was there to receive us and provided good advice of local places to visit. They also catered very well for my vegetarian diet . Great place to stay on the way to Kruger.

This was our first stop in Africa after flying into Johannesburg Airport from the USA for a 3 week vacation of Safari. Chestnut lodge is a beautiful, tranquil setting with a lovely sitting area and expanse view right outside our room. There is also a sweet pool area to sit in and enjoy the view or swim. The manager of Chestnut is a delightful young woman named Jacomina. She was extremely kind and helpful. Our room was very clean with a soft bed and very large comfortable and attractive bathroom. Nice windows gave us a cool breeze at night. The chef Margaret and her assistant Alucious are the best. We enjoyed delicious fresh food with local ingredients and fun and laughter with Alucious. We had our first Safari adventure at Krueger Park with a guide named Edward. He turned out to be one of my most favorite guides and they were all so very knowledgeable and excellent at locating animals, from the giant rhino to the small dung beetle. We loved and enjoyed every sighting and all our questions were answered with all the details we asked about the animals. -Ask for Edward. You won't be sorry.

A beautiful, tranquil setting with a lovely, forested mountain backdrop. We felt very welcomed by Jacomine, the manager, and found our accommodations excellent. Room rates include delicious meals served in a covered patio. Chestnut Country Lodge is near Kruger National Park and we were able to spend one full day at the park and the next day in a gorgeous area called Blyde River Canyon. They are also very close to Elephant Whisper where you can have an experience with live elephants.
