hippomoon lodge game reserve

Unfortunately, our stay at Hippomoon Lodge was limited to just one night, but the experience was truly unforgettable. The serenity of the bush was breath-taking. We enjoyed stunning sunrises and sunsets, and were fortunate to witness incredible wildlife at the water hole right by the lodge. The decor and furnishings were of the highest quality. The host was incredibly attentive and extremely knowledgeable. The 5-star meals were exceptional. Everything was perfect. We will definitely return for a longer stay.

Nothing

Beautiful calm surroundings, an array of animals to see on the property and full view of them at the waterhole with a beautiful backdrop of mountains as you take a swim in the lovely pool. Neighbouring property houses the infamous Jessica the Hippo, a very special experience. Close by the Blyderiverpoort Dam another memorable boating experience of nature in beautiful symbiosis. A beautiful room with unexpected treats. Staff took really good care of my dog and myself, although we found ourselves in tricky situations with the dogs on site and unwelcome insects. I’m thankful for the quick care and attention they provided us. The food was freshly prepared, delicious and in abundance much thanks to the hosts Patricia and Xavier. I thank you for one of my best experiences of our beautiful country. The guests were lovely to mingle with and I never felt like I was alone.

There is no guarding at the main gate, ask about protocols around this during your stay. Otherwise there is nothing to complain about.

Xavier and Patricia are amazing, gracious hosts, they made sure we had everything we needed, recommended and booked our activities. We loved the tranquility of the bush setting and being able to see animals on our walks and in front of our room. Very relaxing environment from the moment you arrive, you feel you can rest and just enjoy the time away. The room was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We look forward to coming back.😃

All was perfect.

It's a very beautiful place Deep in the bushes ..

The Breakfast wasn't as expected

Loved the food and that there were game animals in full view.

Was very hot without the use of the aircons.

Fantastic experience to stay with Xavier in his wonderful place. Special buildings with a lot of space in beautiful surroundings. Personal attention from Xavier and his staff, serving great meals.

extermly unique experince-located in the middle of the bush sournded with animals-very speical host

all was perfect

We only spent one night at the property, however we had the best time with Xavier and his animals. He was extremely warm and welcoming and cooked amazing food for us. We luckily got the presidential suite as an upgrade which was dreamy! Would definitely recommend to stay at this lodge.

Hippomoon Lodge is ideally located to travel to several attractions including Kruger park and other private parks and animal sanctuaries. Very importantly as well, our host Xavier went the extra mile to make us feel welcome. He gave us plenty of recommendations which proved very useful. He's an excellent cook (the portions also were very generous) and has a great sense of hospitality. Patricia also was a star (friendly, welcoming and efficient). The room is super nice and original and the amenities are very clean and comfortable. The icing on the cake was to accompany Xavier feeding the zebras and various antelopes. We also saw giraffes and ostriches in his domain. We could not have hoped for a better beginning of our holiday in South Africa.

The abundance of wildlife in close proximity to our accommodation was amazing. A wonderful collection of memorobelia in the dining room; very tasty food, and Xavier and his staff are wonderful hosts.
