Best value for money, seclusion and viewing of animals and nature. Great manager.

We don't really have enough words to describe the stay. We stayed at Mountain View for our honeymoon as well as a few other places. Mountain View was by far the cheapest, best value for money, most secluded, neatest and well-managed venue! The first night a leopard came 5m from us to say hi. The next morning we woke up to 2 stunning giraffes by the pool; a mongoose and other animals also came to say hello. Definitely the best place I have stayed at going from Hoedspruit to the Kruger. Would recommend to anyone! Wonderful manager and close to a lot of places and fun activities as well as restaurants. 10/10. Photos don't do the place justice. Stunning!

Peaceful and restful.

Our stay at Mountain View Safari Lodge was breathtaking, absolutely perfect. The place is clean, peaceful, private and beautiful. The bed was our favourite, very comfortable. The shower was perfect under the sky. The outside pool is perfect for a couple. Hot water does not run out. The tent was warm as we arrived on a windy day. We received the best hospitality from Fanie. He reached out to us before we even arrived. He constantly kept checking in throughout our travel to the lodge, during our stay and even after we left. I have never experienced such from any host. To top it all, he went the extra mile as we were celebrating my partner's birthday and he created a mini romantic setup for us, which was so thoughtful. If you are looking for time away, just you and nature, I highly recommend Mountain View Safari Lodge.

Beautiful bush break.

We loved our stay here. We visited as a family with our 2-year-old. We came in the middle of winter. Although the days were lovely and warm, the nights were cold as there's no heating in the tents. They do provide lots of blankets though. We could get really close to nature, and the hosts were always available for any questions I had. Maybe the hosts should consider getting a small heater for the tent in the future, my own suggestion. It's so quaint and beautiful.

Mountain View Safari Lodge 's response

Thank you so much, Jessica, for your review.

We have considered heaters before, but they add a significant fire risk which we cannot accommodate. That's why we opted for warm blankets and the fire boma.

Fortunately, the temperatures even in winter are over 30 degrees Celsius, but yes, the evenings are cooler.

Pragtige juweel in die bosveld.

'n Pragtige goed toegeruste tent het ons begroet. 'n Gevoel van styl en luuksheid met boma, jacuzzi en bosveldbome in die agtergrond is ervaar. Ons het selfs wild raakgeloop op ons wandeling in die reservaat.

Beautiful gem in the bushveld.

A beautiful well equipped tent greeted us. A sense of style and luxury with boma, jacuzzi and bushveld trees in the background was experienced. We even came across wildlife on our walk in the reserve.

Quite an intimate place, security quite friendly and helpful. Manager very responsive. A big plus is an open bushveld spa in the lodge after a hectic day of activities in and around Hoedspruit. There's a barman who makes killer cocktails.

Bosveldprag.

Vir natuurliefhebbers is hierdie die plek om te wees. Ons is gegroet deur kameelperde, blou wildebeeste en bokke met ons aankoms en was dadelik bekoor. Ek het gaan draf op die reservaat se hoofpad - 10km van skoonheid en wild. Die verblyf is 10/10, stort onder die sterre en sit en luister vir die naggeluide in die aand. Bly hier - jy weet jy wil.

Bushveld splendor.

For nature lovers this is the place to be. We were greeted by giraffes, blue wildebeest and goats on our arrival and were immediately charmed. I went jogging on the reserve's main road - 10km of beauty and wildlife. The accommodation is 10/10, shower under the stars and sit and listen to the night sounds in the evening. Stay here - you know you want to.

Dit was wonderlik! Die plek is so pragtig! Ons was daar vir die naweek.

Ons is baie dankbaar vir Fanie wat so hulpvaardig was. Die werkers by die hek is tog te vriendelik. Fanie was altyd beskikbaar as ons navraag gehad het. Dit is stil daar. Jy hoor net die dierelewe en dis wat ons vir die naweek wou gehad het. Wees reg om die minster mens like interakasie te hê vir jou reis. Ons het dit net nodig gehad. Die diere loop rondom die tente. Ons het gaan stap en 'n hele paar kameelperde en bosbokkies raakgeloop. 10 uit 10 Ervaring. Die stort is amazing. Die eenheid is amazing.

We are very grateful to Fanie who was so helpful. The workers at the gate are too friendly. Fanie was always available if we had any questions. It's quiet there. You only hear the animal life and that's what we wanted for the weekend. Be ready to have the minster human like interaction for your trip. We just needed it. The animals walk around the tents. We went for a walk and came across quite a few giraffes and ibex. 10 out of 10 Experience. The shower is amazing. The unit is amazing.

Rustig.

Plek is netjies en skoon. Fanie het mooi na ons gekyk. Ons voel egter wel dat daar aan sekere dinge aandag kort, braaigereedskap is oud, skoonmaakgoedjies soos sponsie en afveelap, afdrooglappe was ook al oud. Eetgerei kort ook aandag, verder het ons heerlik gebly.

Restful.

Place is neat and clean. Fanie looked at us carefully. However, we do feel that certain things lack attention, barbecue tools are old, cleaning items such as sponges and wiping cloths, drying cloths were also old. Cutlery also needs attention, otherwise we had a wonderful stay.

Lekker en behoorlik uitgerus. Die buitestort was die kersie op die koek.

Mountain View is 'n lekker plekkie in die bos, ons kon lekker uitrus. Die ronde, klein swembadjie was perfek om af te koel. Hoedspruit was vrek warm gewees! Die ryery tussen Hoedspruit en Mountain View was vir my net te ver.

Was in Hoedspruit vir besigheid en het die perfekte wegbreekplek gevind.

Die akkommodasie is vrek slim uitgedink met al die geriewe perfek opgesit. Pragtige uitsig van die swembad af en het self kosmaak baie maklik gemaak. Ons is vriendelik verwelkom en sien uit om menigte kere terug te gaan.

Die tent is baie luuks en het alles gehad wat ons nodig gekry het, die privaat swembad was uitstekend om in af te koel op die warm dae. Dit het ons 'n goeie tydjie gevat om tot by ons slaapplek uit te kom vanaf die teerpad, maar die ry was die moeite werd gewees.
