Rhino's Rest Private Luxury Villa

Rhino's rest is a self catering accommodation within the Moditlo game reserve in Hoedspruit. This is a top luxury place with all amenities you can think of. One of our party had his birthday during our stay and the management surprised us with a huge birthday cake. We needed the full two days to 'process' it :-) . Via the nearby lodge we did the afternoon/night game drive and it was above our expectations. Good sightings of Lion, Cheetah, Leopard, Jackal, Rhino ... . To top it off a Civet Cat came to visit us during our late night braai. Amazing experience worth every Rand, Euro or Dollar you have.

We heard the road in a distance during rush hour, but this died away by 18:00 hours (no Civet Cat would dare to come close if it was disturbed by secondary noise).

Our family had the most incredible stay at Rhino's Rest during our holiday in South Africa. It was undoubtedly the highlight of the trip, largely thanks to the exceptional host, Adele. Her warm and enthusiastic welcome made us feel right at home, and her assistance throughout our stay was invaluable. The lodge itself was beyond amazing – spacious, impeccably clean, and equipped with everything one could possibly need for a fantastic holiday. The attention to detail in every aspect of the lodge was truly commendable, contributing to an unforgettable experience. Of course, the real magic happened when we saw lots of animals in front of our lodge and during the safari experiences within the private reserve. Seeing lions, rhinos, cheetahs, and even a baby giraffe up close was an awe-inspiring experience that left us in complete awe of the natural world. The well-organized safaris added an adventurous touch to the stay, making it all the more special. Overall, I can confidently say that our stay at Rhino's Rest was the best part of our entire South African holiday. Adele's hospitality, the stunning lodge, and the captivating safari experiences combined to create an unforgettable and truly exceptional getaway.

Nothing, it was perfect!

Everything was super clean and the welcome was so thoughtful! It really felt like a home away from home and had every piece of equipment and all the amenities you could want in a bushveld home.

A little bit of road noise from vehicles passing on the nearby R40. But not a dealbreaker in any way.

We loved absolutely everything about our stay at Rhino's Rest. The property itself is STUNNING! Everything is immaculately clean, beds are comfortable and kitchen is well stocked. We saw rhino everyday, lions mating, giraffe, elephant and all the game. Adél is an incredible, friendly and genuine host who made our stay everything we could have hoped for and more. Zodwana and Nelius do a fantastic job keeping the property clean and well maintained. We honestly cannot recommend Rhino's Rest anymore highly! We will be back!

There is nothing we did not like!

Exceptional eye for details, they thought of everything and went above and beyond to make us fee welcome. Adel and her team were outstanding!

The weather :) :)
