Great place with a large property and large pool Check in was easy and Jacques was an amazing host Cold and hot breakfast was delicious and we were asked what time would suit us to eat, so the food was hot and fresh. Family room with living area, kitchen and multiple bedrooms felt more like we rented our own house! Thank you for the lovely stay, we felt very welcome

The Blyde Mountain Country House is set back off the main roads, and quite peaceful, charming and very welcoming. Bets (short for Elizabeth) surprised us with an upgrade, and the cottage room was delightful. It was spacious with a small kitchenette and adequate size bathroom including a walk in shower and built in shower bench. We really enjoyed the hot water and water pressure! The bedroom had a comfortable bed with a couch, bench, desk and chair, and television. The decor added a touch of class and made you feel at home! The common areas included an outdoor dining area, plus inside living rooms and bar (honor system). The outdoor scenery is breathtaking, and I enjoyed my walk around the pool area, gardens, and adjacent farm. The dinner was scrumptious (South African bobotie with chutney, bananas and coconut with rice and assorted mixed vegetables). The lemon meringue dessert was simply the best! The next morning, we had a wonderful breakfast, so relaxing to sit and admire the morning sky above the majestic mountains. Most of all, the staff, especially Bets and Jacob (?spelling) deserve recognition for their outstanding hospitality. And, thumbs up to all the wonderful cooks and other staff members that make this country house such a marvelous place. We will not hesitate to come back here again and will certainly recommend it to others if staying in Hoedspruit! Thank you!

We werden heel hartelijk en gastvrij ontvangen, de eigenaresse is een schat van een mens. Het uitzicht wat we vanaf onze kamer hadden was adembenemend. De kamers zijn wel gedateerd en komen niet schoon (spinnenrag her en der) over, mede door de ruw betonnen vloer. Ze hebben een opknapbeurt nodig!

Breathtaking view in the canyon area

Breathtaking view over the mountains. You get to enjoy a look on the canyon as well as some antilopes directly from the breakfast terrace. Annie and the staff are very welcoming and overall great hosts. We received a free room upgrade on arrival and the room was very spacious with an equally nice view. We had everything we needed and enjoyed our 2 nights. Breakfast was very delicious, especially Annie's own minced meat. She also made us an extra sandwich to take away on our departure. The hotel is close to the panorama route where you pass all touristic highlights in the blue river canyon area. Enjoyed our stay a lot and would definitely come again.
