About this property
Villa Uthando: Stylish brand new villa with amazing views
Villa Uthando is build in 2023 and is located on 10,000 m2 of private land, offers a lot of privacy and has breathtaking views of the Drakensberg Mountains.
Uthando is an important word in several African languages – it means love, affection and the feeling of belonging. After traveling extensively throughout South Africa, this was exactly the feeling the owners have with Hoedspruit and Zandspruit – belonging. For them, Uthando means the love for South Africa, the friendly people, the overwhelming beauty of nature and the magnificent animals. Out of all the incredible wildlife in this Greater Kruger area, the elephants are their favorites, so that is why this majestic animal is reflected in the logo of this villa.
The villa has been decorated with great care. Luxury and comfort, the use of natural materials and sustainability are central to this. The color scheme has been chosen in such a way that it fits perfectly into the environment of the African bush. The villa has a very spacious living room with double glass sliding door and mountain view and is equipped with a lovely lounge sofa and spacious dining room table. A Smart TV and Sonos are also provided.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a large cooking island, oven, microwave, dishwasher and Nespresso coffee maker. The kitchen is also fully equipped, there is a wide variety of cooking utensils and crockery to cook a deliciously meal in the villa. In the utility room, in addition to a washing machine and dryer, there is also an American fridge with ice cube machine.
In such a beautiful environment you want to spend as much time outside as possible. The partially covered terrace offers a ccomfortable lounge area and a large dining table. From the terrace you direct access to the spacious, heated private pool. The pool offers seating to enjoy the breathtaking view in the sun. The terrace also offers lovely sun loungers.
Adjacent to the terrace you will find a spacious, boma with comfortable cushions. This is the perfect place to end the day. You can enjoy cocktails, dream away at the sunset, make a campfire or enjoy a traditional braai.
Two of the three bedrooms each have a kingsize bed and with the large sliding glass doors you have direct access to the terrace but also a fantastic view of the Drakensberg, a beautiful way to wake up! The third bedroom has 2 boxspring beds. These can be used separately, or directly next to each other. All bedrooms are equipped with wardrobes, a make-up table/desk and a fully equipped ensuite bathroom including toilet. In addition, each bathroom also has a wonderful luxury outdoor shower.
All Homes of Africa holiday villas are located on Zandspruit Bush & Aero Estate (Hoedspruit, Limpopo), an area of 1000 hectares of pristine and beautiful South African bush where only guests and residents of Zandspruit Estate have free access. There are harmless wild animals on Zandspruit Estate, so it is possible that you come face to face with a zebra or giraffe during a walking safari. So you can go on a game drive in your own backyard! In addition, it often happens that the animals come to take a look at the houses or even take a sip from the swimming pool.
Within 10 minutes you are in the pleasant village of Hoedspruit with several fantastic restaurants, supermarkets and shops. In the vicinity you can enjoy game drives, the Panorama route and the Kruger Park.

Great villa in lovely reserve!
The house is lovely and decorated with style and taste, he pool was heated, so we could swim in July, well equipped to do nice cooking, the out-door shower is a great feature, as well as the boma (which we unfortunately could not use because of risk of fires). The services of Promise were great, making sure we had a great time and were well informed.
We experienced some noise from construction activities to the house next door, which was a bit disappointing because we were keen to enjoy quiet and nature. So if you book a house, make sure to check if there are construction activities going on in the area.

Sehr schöne Villa... mit toller Ausstattung
- Boma direkt am Haus...
- schöner großer Pool mit guter Wasserqualität
- sehr gut ausgestattete Küche
- hochwertige Accecoires wie Bademäntel etc.
- Moskitonetze über den Betten
- Waschmaschine, Trockner... tolle Ausstattung
- sehr schnelles Internet verfügbar
- der Grill ist leider nicht gut nutzbar... kein Licht, kein Wasseranschluss, kein Waschbecken
- (trockenes) Holz könnte/sollte inklusive sein, wie bei anderen Angeboten auch
- eine Axt, um große Holzscheite zu spalten und so das Anfeuern zu vereinfachen
- Küchenmesser sollten geschärft werden
