Blissful, relaxing, great host, beautiful surroundings.

We spent a wonderful long weekend at Little Carthage and enjoyed our stay in every respect, especially lounging around the pool in the Lowveld heat. The view is fantastic, and there are pleasant hikes to be had. The accommodation is very comfortable with a real "bush vibe". Heather left no stone unturned to ensure that we were comfortable at all times. We will definitely return to this slice of paradise.

Baie stil en rustige kuierplekkie.

Lekker om net te gaan en af te skakel. Die omgewing is baie mooi en die kinders het die stap in die Olifantsrivier baie geniet.

Ideale somerswegbreek!

Ideaal geleë reg langs die Olifantsrivier. Natuurlewe reg rondom die eenheid, het 'n besoek van 'n paar gebande muishonde en 'n likkewaan gehad. Kort 'staproete' oor rivierrotse na 'n pragtige waterval was die top punt van ons besoek. Die weer het teen ons getel, kon nie die swembad ten volle geniet nie, maar die boma het ons lekker warm gehou.

Ideal summer getaway!

Ideally located right next to the Olifants River. Wildlife all around the unit, had a visit from some banded mouse dogs and a lycoon. Short 'hiking route' over river rocks to a beautiful waterfall was the highlight of our visit. The weather worked against us, couldn't fully enjoy the pool, but the boma kept us nice and warm.

Ongelooflike uitsig, lekkerste blyplek en vriendelike diens.

Dit was so 'n mooi plekkie om te bly en dit is baie goed toegerus vir 'n lekker vakansie. Die plekkie het alles gehad wat ons nodig het en die braai-area was daagliks skoongemaak (en sommer lekker vroeg). Die uitsig was asemrowend, die kamers was netjies en skoon. Heather, was so 'n wonderlike gasvrou! Ons wou nie gaan nie, en sal beslis weer wil kom.

Incredible view, nicest place to stay and friendly service.

It was such a nice place to stay and it is very well equipped for a nice holiday. The place had everything we needed and the braai area was cleaned daily (and quite early). The view was breathtaking, the rooms were neat and clean. Heather, was such a wonderful hostess! We didn't want to leave, and will definitely want to come again.

Wat 'n aangename verrassing! Die naam kon maklik Little Heaven gewees het. Beslis iets om te ervaar.

Die personeel is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die plek is skoon en netjies en die kombuis het alles wat mens benodig. Ons het dit werklik baie geniet. Die pad is begaanbaar maar sou makliker wees met 'n hoë voertuig soos bv 'n bakkie. Ons kon wel met ons Opel Crossland daar uitkom. Moenie dat die pad jou afsit nie! Dit is beslis iets wat jy wil beleef!

What a pleasant surprise! The name could easily have been Little Heaven. Definitely something to experience.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The place is clean and tidy and the kitchen has everything you need. We really enjoyed it. The road is passable but would be easier with a tall vehicle such as a bakkie. We were able to get there with our Opel Crossland. Don't let the road put you off! This is definitely something you want to experience!

Uitsonderlik mooi.

Voorstel is om handrelings in te sit by die steil opdraande vir bejaardes. 'n Ander voorstel is om die eetgerei bietjie uit te brei met 'n whisk en so. Maar die ligging, vriendelikheid, rivier maak dit alles die moeite werd. Baie dankie, Heather, vir jou gasvryheid. Sy was dierbaar om ons te roep toe hulle 'n klein krokodil in die rivier gewaar.

Exceptionally beautiful.

Suggestion is to insert handrails at the steep ascent for the elderly. Another suggestion is to expand the cutlery a bit with a whisk and such. But the location, friendliness, river make it all worth it. Thank you so much, Heather, for your hospitality. She was kind enough to call us when they spotted a small crocodile in the river.

Relaxing.

We could completely switch off. Definitely a gem for older children and adults. We spent hours exploring the river, and driving around looking for game. Evenings spent around the campfire and mornings at the Look-out point ensured reconnection with our souls.

Gerieflike akkommodasie in die natuurreservaat teen die Olifantsrivier naby Hoedspruit.

Ons groep het bestaan uit 4 volwassenes en 2 kinders en het die chalet en rondawel gerieflik gevind. Die lapa en kombuis was goed toegerus en 'n aangename kuierplek. Die swembad en houtdek met uitsig op die rivier bied aangename ontspanning. Daar is ook voldoende braaiplek en tafels. Ek sal Little Carthage aanbeveel vir enige natuurliefhebber wat rus en vrede soek.

I would recommend Little Carthage to any nature lover seeking peace and quiet.

Baie lekker gekuier. Is bietjie moeilik met 'n klein kindertjie maar vir seker sal ons weer gaan.

Die huisvesting is baie gerieflik en die eienaar vriendelik en doen baie moeite. Daar word skoongemaak by die vuur en weer vuur gepak elke dag. Wat baie lekker is. Stil en rustig behalwe vir die apies en bobbejane wat kom kuier. Goeie plek om te wees as jy rus soek. Die plekkie is op die walle van die Olifantsrivier en pragtig.

Had a great time. Is a bit difficult with a small child but for sure we will go again.

The accommodation is very comfortable and the owner friendly and makes a lot of effort. The fire is cleaned and re-fired every day. Which is very nice. Quiet and peaceful except for the monkeys and baboons who come to visit. Good place to be if you are looking for rest. The place is on the banks of the Olifants River and beautiful.

Baie genotvol en rustig.

Het die grondpad heel gerieflik met 'n gewone voertuig aangepak sonder enige probleme. Die natuurskoon is awemrowend en die rustigheid is medisyne vir 'n moeë liggaam. Die uitsig vanaf die dek gedurende die dag oor die Olifantsrivier, sonsondergang is 'n belewenis. Voorwaar 'n aangename verassing. Troeteldiere word ook toegelaat wat 'n addisionele pluspunt is. Die gasvryheid van die eienares en personeel word ook waardeer.

Took the dirt road very comfortably with a normal vehicle without any problems. The scenery is breathtaking and the tranquility is medicine for a tired body. The view from the deck during the day over the Olifants River, sunset is an experience. A pleasant cremation indeed. Pets are also allowed which is an added plus. The hospitality of the owner and staff is also appreciated.

Ontspan in die mooiste natuurskoon.

Uitstekende ligging met mooi natuur. Lekker wandelpaaie en pragtige watervalle om te besoek. In die aand kan jy rustig braai en langs die boma sit terwyl jy vir die nag geluide luister. Heather was baie gaaf en al was ons baie vroeg vir inboek het sy ons nog steeds akkomodeer. Ons het die rondawel en die chalet gehuur en die enigste aanbeveling is om na die storte te kyk met die waterdruk wat baie swak was. Opelug kombuis is 'n wenner.

Excellent location with beautiful nature. Beautiful hiking trails and beautiful waterfalls to visit. In the evening you can braai and sit by the boma while listening to the night sounds. Heather was very nice and although we were very early she still accommodated us. We hired the rondavel and the chalet and the only recommendation is to look at the showers with the water pressure that is very poor. Open-air kitchen is a winner.

Ons het 'n fantastiese wegbreek gehad by Little Carthage, weg van alles wat raas en blaas.

Little Carthage is 'n juweel diep in die bosveld met al die nodige fasiliteite. Mens kan daar vashaak vir 'n lang tyd. Die rondawel en loft area wat ons bespreek het is 'n ideale kuierplek met vriende. Die dek met uitsig, swembad, braaigeriewe, buite kombuis en kuierplek het elke kuier net soveel meer spesiaal gemaak. Baie dankie Heather vir jou gasvryheid en die pragtige plek wat ons kon ontdek.

Great experience that all should try

We travelled as a family (couple with a 4 year old boy). The place itself is just wonderful and a great getaway. Views to die for with a 5 star feel. The owner is a lovely lady who I cant write enough about - she is warm, friendly and couldn't do enough for you. Also a dam broke so we couldn't get out to a shop, so she and her very friendly father helped us out with beers and soft drinks. I recommend this place to each and everyone to experience. Do yourself a favor and book now, you wont be disappointment. Thanks again for our wonderful stay. Terry and Rhoda, and Kyle.
