This is a must stay place when you're looking for a place near Hoedspruit town!

Tucked away in the South African bush, this hidden gem offers an unforgettable overnight escape just 3 km from Hoedspruit town. The hosts go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, with thoughtful touches that create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The accommodation itself is a perfect blend of comfort and nature, allowing you to unwind fully in the tranquil surroundings. For those seeking an authentic bush experience without breaking the bank, this spot offers exceptional value for money. It's a must-visit for nature lovers looking for a unique, budget-friendly getaway! The special touches for guests like coffee, tea, rusks, and milk in the fridge to name a few are added bonuses. I wish I knew about this gem long before now! Will definitely make use of this place again, as well as tell all our friends who are searching for overnight accommodation while en route to Kruger and the Panorama Route!

Home away from home, perfect.

It was a great experience. The house was fully equipped, we did not need anything, our place was kept clean by the staff. The owners are very friendly and went the extra mile when I needed an extra service. Location is great.

Thank you, Jana. It was such a pleasure to have you and Ricardo as our guests. Hope to see you again on your next trip to Hoedspruit.

Gerieflike akkommodasie in die bos!

The Baobab bied alles wat nodig is om gerieflik te bly, met heerlike buite-braaigeriewe en goeie WiFi-diens. Ons is vriendelik verwelkom deur die eienares, en sy het verseker gemaak dat ons gedurende ons verblyf gemaklik en tevrede was. The Baobab is lekker privaat en ideaal vir iemand wat hou van buite-leef.

Comfortable accommodation in the forest!

The Baobab offers everything needed to stay comfortably, with delicious outdoor braai facilities and good WiFi service. We were kindly welcomed by the owner, and she made sure that we were comfortable and satisfied during our stay. The Baobab is nice and private and ideal for someone who loves the outdoors.

Ons is heerlik ontvang. Ons sal vir seker weer kom kuier.

Ons het heerlik gebly. Alles is skoon en netjies. Ons het lekker geslaap. Sal dalk net aanbeveel dat hulle kyk na 'n aircon in die leef area. Dit word ongelooflik warm daar en die waaiers help nie.

We were warmly received. We will definitely visit again.

We had a wonderful stay. Everything is clean and tidy. We slept well. Might just recommend that they look into an aircon in the living area. It gets incredibly hot there and the fans don't help.

Uitstekend.

The Baobab was die perfekte oorblyplek gewees. Julies en Rita het ons dadelik tuis laat voel. Julies het ons selfs vir 'n wildsrit geneem. Dis skoon, netjies en het als wat jy nodig kan kry, die area is great en ons kinders het dit vreeslik geniet. Selfs na die tyd toe ons weg is en iets daar vergeet het, het Rita ons gekontak om te hoor hoe sy dit by ons kan uitkry. Dankie vir so lekker tyd.

Outstanding.

The Baobab was the perfect place to stay. Julies and Rita immediately made us feel at home. Julies even took us for a game drive. It's clean, tidy and has everything you could need, the area is great and our children really enjoyed it. Even after we left and forgot something there, Rita contacted us to find out how she could get it from us. Thank you for such a nice time.

Baie netjies en gerieflik.

Ons het op baie kort kennisgewing plek gekry! Netjiese plekkie met alles wat jy nodig het vir gesin van 4. Rustige omgewing en net sowat 70 km van die wildtuin se Phalaborwa hek af. Sal dit vir enige iemand aanbeveel!

We got a place at very short notice! Neat little place with everything you need for a family of 4. Quiet surroundings and only about 70 km from the wildlife park's Phalaborwa gate. Would recommend to anyone!

Lekker plek, lekker mense!

Ongelooflike gasvrye mense (Julius en Rita) laat mens sommer dadelik tuis voel. Private game drives geen extra koste, ten volle toegang tot hul plaas met buffels, kameelperde, waterbokke etc. op. Kan nie wag om weer te gaan kuier nie!

Incredibly hospitable people (Julius and Rita) make you feel right at home. Private game drives no extra cost, full access to their farm with buffalo, giraffes, water goats etc. on. Can't wait to visit again!
