Beautiful home in a very natural environment.

Staying at Chestnut Cottage was a delight. The home is very well equipped, nicely designed and comfortable. We felt very much at home during our stay. And it was lovely being so close to nature. The only thing that was missing for me personally was a sun lounger as I love to sit outside and enjoy the sun while I am thinking or writing.

Chestnut Cottage 's response

Dear Hazel

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Chestnut Cottage and felt at home! It's wonderful to hear you appreciated the design, comfort, and how well-equipped the house is. We strive to create a relaxing and enjoyable experience for our guests, and your feedback means a lot to us.

Thank you for mentioning the sun lounger – we appreciate you bringing that to our attention. We'll definitely consider it for future improvements. We want all our guests to have the opportunity to soak up the beautiful surroundings and enjoy the sunshine! We hope to welcome you back to Chestnut Cottage again soon.

All the best, Arno & Anize

Fantastiese verblyf, luuks en smaakvol gemeubileer.

Chestnut Cottage is 'n luukse selfsorg eenheid met 2 slaapkamers en 2 badkamers. Die slaapkamer het kwaliteit bedlinne gehad en 'n baie gemaklike matras, wat vir seker het dat jy 'n goeie nagrus kry. Die badkamer het 'n stort en buite stort met water wat vinnig warm was, asook 'n bad. Dankie vir die lekker handseep en handeroom in die badkamer. Groot badhanddoeke was ook 'n lekker bederf. Daar was 'n haardroër by die spieel wat gesorg het dat jy gerieflik jou hare kon droogmaak. 'n Pragtige toegeruste kombuis met mooi breekware en eetgerei, mikrogolfoond en groot yskas. Die leefarea het gemaklike banke, asook 'n groot TV met DStv. 'n Pragtige buite area met 'n braai, asook sitplek om gemaklik te sit, asook 'n tafel om by te eet. Jy kan lekker afkoel in die klein swembadjie. Daar is gaas voor die vensters en deure en jy kan met veiligheid met oop vensters en deure slaap. Onderdak parkering verseker dat jou voertuig veilig en naby die huis geparkeer is, wat die afpak en inpak baie gerieflik maak. Wi-Fi was beskikbaar en het goed gewerk. Dankie vir al die lekker bederfies, koekies, hot chocolate, beskuit en vars melk. Ons het ons verblyf baie geniet en kan die akkommodasie aanbeveel as uitstekende verblyf. Die gasheer en gasvrou het aan alles gedink om vir jou 'n uitstekende, luukse, gerieflike verblyf te verseker. Ons kom definitief weer terug.

Fantastic accommodation, luxuriously and tastefully furnished.

Chestnut Cottage is a luxury self-catering unit with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The bedroom had quality bed linen and a very comfortable mattress, which is sure to ensure that you get a good night's sleep. The bathroom has a shower and an outdoor shower with water that was hot quickly, as well as a bath. Thank you for the nice hand soap and hand cream in the bathroom. Large bath towels were also a nice treat. There was a hairdryer by the mirror that made sure that you could dry your hair conveniently. A beautifully equipped kitchen with nice crockery and cutlery, microwave and large fridge. The living area has comfortable sofas, as well as a large TV with DStv. A beautiful outdoor area with a braai, as well as seating to sit comfortably, as well as a table to eat at. You can cool off in the small swimming pool. There is mesh in front of the windows and doors and you can sleep safely with the windows and doors open. Covered parking ensures that your vehicle is parked safely and close to the house, making unpacking and packing very convenient. Wi-Fi was available and worked well. Thank you for all the nice treats, cookies, hot chocolate, rusks and fresh milk. We really enjoyed our stay and can recommend the accommodation as excellent accommodation. The host and hostess have thought of everything to ensure you have an excellent, luxurious, comfortable stay. We will definitely be back.

Dit sal op my top 10 oornag-plekke wees.

Baie netjies, goed toegerus. Goeie kwaliteit wit linne en heerlike groot badhanddoeke. Sal definitief weer daar gaan bly. 'n Voorstel: dalk net die huisnommer, met aanwysings vanaf die ingangshek tot by die huis.

Really awesome holiday, highly recommended.

Our stay at Chestnut Cottage was amazing. The owners have created a really practical and tasteful cottage with everything you might need. The estate is full of surprises if you want to explore, and at the same time quiet and peaceful. When my 10-year-old son says he doesn't want to leave a place, then you know it was worth it. Thank you.

Excellent service, pristine location and extremely comfortable accommodation.

Our stay was excellent. We are actually building a house on Elephant Rock Eco Estate and we are so happy to find Chestnut Cottage as a perfect option for us to use as it is also on Elephant Rock Eco Estate. It was extremely easy to check in and get the keys at the entrance gate to the estate, and Meka had already turned on the air conditioners and fans to cool the house down before we arrived as it was over 40°C! The house was spotless, the pool was great, and the location perfect for what we needed. Visiting the actual Elephant Rock on the Olifants river is a must, as is the confluence area to walk around. We saw lots of animals including impala, kudu, waterbuck, bushbuck, and even a grysbok. We would 100% recommend it to anyone interested in staying in the area.

It's overall just a great break away cottage, we will definitely visit again.

It's just a great little modern cottage, just what we wanted. Perfect for two couples or a couple with kids. Loved the furniture and facilities, the beds are great, the shower and bath are amazing. It was great that we could watch the rugby without needing to go to a restaurant. The road is a bit noisy but we still managed to hear some lions early morning.

Amazing place, awesome cottage almost brand new with real quality finishes and high-end fittings. Almost perfect in every way. The only negative is the traffic noise from the Phalaborwa Hoedspruit road. Otherwise, this is the best accommodation and nearly the best destination we've been privileged to get from you.
