It was awesome.

It was great, enjoyed every moment. We had a great view of the river and managed to see some family of 3 hippos walking down the river. The Villa was so clean and had enough space for everyone. It is also well equipped with everything that you can need from utensils to washing machines and detergents. The area is very quiet and peaceful. We had our own privacy.

Ons gesin van 4 het by Elephant Rock Villa gaan kuier.

Dit is 'n lieflike huis, en is toegerus met alles wat jy kan benodig! Ons beplan reeds ons volgende besoek! André het ons so mooi bygestaan toe daar 'n probleem was met Eskom se lyne - en enige ander navrae wat ons gehad het. Wil sommer nou Hoedspruit toe trek!

Beautiful property, inside and out.

A very lovely and well-kept home. All to yourself. The host was kind and helpful. You get to spot some wildlife here and there in the backyard. The only thing I'd say needs attention is with regard to safety. The host needs to make the gate electronic so that guests don't have to leave the vehicle to open, close, and lock the gate manually. As mentioned above, there is wildlife roaming freely on the property, and we have seen some at night when we arrived back from the day's activities. Besides that, we had an incredible time and we'll definitely visit again in the future.

Fantasties, ongelooflik, luukse huis, lus vir weer gaan!

Heerlik gekuier en ontspan. Uitsig op rivier wat in vloed was, ongelooflik mooi! Patio is heerlike kuierplek. Daar is egter 'n paar dingetjies in die huis wat aandag kort: die gaasskuifdeure haak vas en gaan van hul spoortjies af, baie van die down lights kort gloeilampe, kamer naaste aan die kombuis se kragproppe werk nie, moes verlenger gaan koop en krag uit die gang aanlê vir bedliggies. Opwasbakke kort 1 prop. Kan egter sê ons het een dag 'n skoonmaker ingekry en die koelkamer die hele tyd gebruik teen geen ekstra koste nie, baie dankie!

Fantastic, amazing, luxury home, ready to go again!

Have a great time and relax. View of river that was in flood, incredibly beautiful! Patio is a lovely place to hang out. However, there are a few things in the house that need attention: the sliding mesh doors get stuck and come off their tracks, many of the down lights are missing bulbs, room closest to the kitchen's power plugs don't work, had to buy an extension cord and power out laying out the hallway for bedside lights. Sinks need 1 plug. Can say though we got a cleaner in one day and used the cold room the whole time at no extra charge, thank you very much!

Ons kuier was net wat ons wou hê. Die gekibbel van die rivier snags het ons aan die slaap gesus. Lekker privaat met niemand wat pla nie.

Sal voorstel dat mat en banke in TV area regtig 'n goeie skoonmaak benodig. Dalk 'n paar sonpanele aanskaf vir die loadshedding dae? Wi-Fi werk glad nie!

Our visit was just what we wanted. The babbling of the river at night lulled us to sleep. Nice and private with no one bothering.

Would suggest that carpet and sofas in TV area really need a good cleaning. Maybe purchase some solar panels for the loadshedding days? Wi-Fi doesn't work at all!

Heaven away from home.

My friends and I absolutely loved the place, from the walk-in fridge, to the en-suite bedroom. It was great waking up to the sound of the river and seeing the monkeys play during our walks. Would have loved to see the crocodiles or have a visit from a leopard and hippo. But overall, I'd buy the place if I could. Mr Khoza was friendly and made us feel at home.

The house is more beautiful than in the pictures. The only problem is they need to change the fridge and have more cutlery, glasses. Basically, the whole kitchen needs an upgrade on appliances, cooking utensils and cutlery. Either than that the house is perfect.

It’s a good place but they need to inform us of things like the river has crocodiles so that we are aware and can keep safe.

The place needs a good clean, they need to check cleaners after cleaning, so far it is a nice place. Cleanliness is important especially now during COVID times. The kitchen was not up to the cleanliness standards as were the bathrooms.

Was 'n voorreg om in so 'n 5-ster plek te bly.

Die villa kom kompleet met alles daarin wat jy benodig. Pragtige plek teen rivier met swembad, wilde boksoorte en seekoeie wat daagliks te siene is. Frank is baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig te alle tye. Dit was 'n voorreg on in 'n 5-ster huis te bly saam met vrou en al my kinders en kleinkind. Hondekind het dit ook baie geniet. Sal die plek vir enige iemand aanbeveel. Ons kan nie wag om terug te keer nie.

Would recommend the place to anyone. We can't wait to return.

Clean, peaceful and beautiful. Home away from home.

My friends and I had an excellent time. The home is beautiful and well equipped. Our host and her family were very sweet and made our stay comfortable. Thank you, Karlien. The hippos came and visited and chilled by the river bank. We even had some buck come for breakfast. The crocs would pop by for sundowners, we had the best view ever. I'd only recommend they install aircon because, wow, it gets super hot from 7 am.

Fantasties!

Ons het die blaaskans by Elephant Rock baie geniet. Die huis was baie netjies, skoon en goed toegerus. Ons het heelwat wild vanuit die kamers en stoep af gesien, insluitend 'n rustige besoek van twee seekoeie die een aand. Baie goeie waarde vir geld. Sal hulle enige tyd aanbeveel, Karlien het ons so welkom laat voel. Ons gaan vir seker weer soontoe.
