Perfect place for a break from the city's hustle and bustle!
The Forest House is beautiful. The location is perfect. We watched animals every morning and late afternoon from the porch. There is also a lot to do in the area. Pieter and his team looked after us very well. We also recommend Lazy River Pub for cold beer and great food.

Oasis to recharge tired batteries.
Ys Bos Hys is truly spacious, comfortable and an oasis where one can recharge tired batteries. Peter and his staff are very friendly and helpful. The thoughtfulness to be able to buy wood, charcoal and ice there is appreciated. This is my 2nd time staying there, and certainly not my last. It's lovely to drink coffee outside in the garden early in the morning and hear the beautiful bird sounds. And in the evening, the frog's ear amuses you. The place is beautifully maintained, house is very clean and tidy with top quality linen. Looking forward to my next visit.

5-star forest experience.
I would like to express my sincere thanks for the wonderful experience we had with you. Our whole experience was absolutely fantastic. YS Bos Hys is really an oasis of peace and quiet. The house is beautifully clean and the beds are incredibly comfortable, which contributed to our wonderful night's rest. I give YS Bos Hys a 10 out of 10 – it surpasses many five star lodges I have experienced. The grass is beautifully green and I enjoyed spending early mornings on the porch watching all the various birds. In the evening we sat around the fire and listened to the night sounds - it was just magical. The atmosphere is really relaxing. If you don't feel like driving, you can simply sit under the trees and watch the animals move by. I look forward to visiting again in the summer and enjoying the beautiful pool. Many thanks to YS Collection for sharing your piece of paradise with us. We will cherish these memories and look forward to coming again.

We always have a great time - the house is very nicely equipped. No reason to go on game drives, we enjoy watching wildlife from the front porch, barbecue area and even swimming pool. Stuart always provides friendly and fast service when we contact him and is always close by. The house is conveniently located close to the Safari Mall and also Arlington Brewery.

Jewel in Dinokeng.
Ys Bos Hys is probably one of the most comfortable houses I have ever stayed in. The owners thought of every possible comfort and the love with which they did it is visible. From a dishwasher, washing machine, perculator to quality linen and nice thick towels. It was an absolute feast to go home there — it was lovely to wake up in the morning and lie in bed looking out at the goats on the other side of the fence. Stuart was so nice and helpful and explained everything so well. We were very fortunate to see 4 young cheetahs as well, as well as white rhinos on 2 different days. I can also recommend a visit to the Arlington Brewery — their cherry beer is delicious. I can't wait to visit Ys Bos Hys again. Already looking at my budget as I could easily stay there for a week! What might just be nice is if recommendations can be given if guests want to go on a night drive or an early morning drive for example and not drive themselves. There are quite a few lodges that offer this, but if you are new to Dinokeng, you are not sure who is reliable. Thank you Charlotte, I appreciate all your and Stuart's efforts - hopefully see you again very soon.

Romantic, peaceful and very nice!
The house is WELL equipped and beautifully furnished and you immediately feel at home. Nice and private and secluded so you can be romantic with your spouse. The wildlife such as rhinoceros, blue wildebeest, njala etc come and graze while you relax in the pool with a sundowner in hand and appreciate the beautiful sunset. The gas grill is a bonus. The roar of lions after sunset was a bonus!

Unique forest house with great location in Dinokeng.
We were pleasantly surprised by YS Bos Hys. The place is completely surrounded by nature and no road noise is heard. Good location in Dinokeng Game Reserve. Extremely private with a neat, well maintained garden and lovely outdoor areas and a splash pool. The decor is something special, unique, cheerful and artistic. Well appointed and clean. Conveniently close to the self-drive routes in Dinokeng and restaurants. We had a wonderful stay, they will definitely see us again!
