Guest Reviews
- Francesco (10/5): Amazing, Comfortable and safe stay amongst stunning nature and animals - Very nice hosts
Quiet and comfortable room
“George” the warthog
Proximity to green belt and animals
Safety as it’s in a private estate with security
Nice Food All was perfect
- Julia (10/5): - Wir hatten einen rundum wunderschönen Aufenthalt in dieser Lodge und haben uns von Anfang an sehr wohlgefühlt. Vor allem durch Elke wurden wir unglaublich herzlich aufgenommen, bestens informiert und während unseres gesamten Aufenthalts liebevoll betreut. Man fühlt sich sofort willkommen und gut aufgehoben.
Das Zimmer war sehr schön und die gesamte Umgebung einfach traumhaft – Natur und Tiere pur. Ein besonderes Highlight war das süße Warzenschwein, das regelmäßig bei der Lodge unterwegs ist und einem direkt ans Herz wächst.
Außerdem haben wir viele wertvolle Tipps für unsere Reise bekommen und auch zwei tolle Safaris wurden für uns organisiert. Alles war hervorragend geplant und unkompliziert.
Wir können die Lodge von Herzen weiterempfehlen und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Vielen Dank für die wunderbare Zeit!
- Ed (10/5): Geweldig, absolute aanrader! - Elke en Bart zijn geweldige gastvrouw en gastheer. Een sfeervolle B&B met heerlijk ontbijt. De lodge is fantastisch, echte Afrikaanse sfeer, ruime kamer met alles wat je nodig hebt (en meer), lekker schoon zwembad en de wilde dieren die overal om je heen lopen. We hadden zelfs een bushbaby op de kamer, superleuk diertje. Als we over een paar jaar weer deze kant opkomen, zal ik zeker weer hier gaan zitten. Niets
- lea (10/5): L’accueil, le site, le logement tout était fabuleux - Tout Rien
- Gila (10/5): - Sehr nette Gastgeber, wunderbar in die Natur eingebettet. Tolle Atmosphäre. Mann kann direkt von der Lodge einen Buschwalk auf eigene Faust machen und sieht mit etwas Geduld auch einige Tiere hautnah. Unter anderem auch Giraffen. Das war wirklich ein Erlebnis. Beim außergewöhnlich guten Frühstück lief ein Warzenschein durch das Resort und bei Sonnenaufgang kamen die Buschbabies direkt vor unser Zimmer . Das Abendessen war sensationell und so viel Auswahl am Buffet für nur 5 Gäste die Abendessen gebucht hatten war unglaublich . Der Chef grillt persönlich und das Fleisch ist von sehr guter Qualität. Alles in allem haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt und wären sehr gerne länger geblieben.
- Thomas (10/5): - Geweldig leuke lodge, vriendelijke eigenaren, top ontbijt. Aanrader!
- peter (9/5): Awesome - Stunning place
Great owners
Food excellent
- Elisabeth (10/5): Super emplacement. Ambiance très conviviale - L’emplacement dans une réserve. Les chambres meublées avec goût. L’accueil très chaleureux. Le moment de partage autour du feu avec les autres personnes Rien
- Isabelle (10/5): Une seule nuit de passage avant de rejoindre le Park Kruger. Nous avons regretté de ne pas avoir pu rester plus longtemp - L’endroit est magnifique, la chambre superbe et l’accueil des propriétaires très chaleureux. Nous avons pris un braii le soir de notre arrivée. Tout était bon et l’ambiance chaleureuse. Rien
- Moraes (10/5): Excelente serviço - Gostei muito do café da manhã e principalmente do jantar Sem comentários
- Jariya (10/5): Amazing African Rock Lodge - I had such a lovely stay in African Rock Lodge. From the moment I arrived, the welcome was truly warm and made me feel at home right away. The staff were so kind and attentive, which made the whole experience even more special.
The room was very comfortable, clean, and peaceful perfect for relaxing after a day out. And you can check in the lovely restaurant just in 5-10 minute... the most memorable parts was being able to see animals so easily… spotting giraffes nearby was just amazing and felt so unique.
Overall, it was a beautiful experience, and I would definitely love to come back again 🤍 Breakfast it can be better
- Kieran (10/5): Absolutely brilliant - The lodge was absolutely brilliant - can’t recommend highly enough. Our hosts went out of their way to accommodate us and even made multiple trips to the airport to collect us after we had a diverted flight. They were brilliant and we were overjoyed with the way they handled a very stressful situation for us. Absolutely nothing
- Gabriele (10/5): - Tolles, hilfsbereites Team und eine sehr familiäre Atmosphäre.
Das Essen war fantastisch. Super lecker und ausreichend.
Die Unterkunft würde ich jederzeit wieder buchen.
Der hohe Sicherheitsstandard durch den Securitydienst gibt einem ein sehr gutes Gefühl.
- Klaus (10/5): - Es war alles perfekt. Gutes Essen, guter Gamedrive, schöne Walks durch den Green-Belt (wo man definitiv Tiere sieht), sehr nette Gastgeber, ein schöne Poollandschaft. Ein guter Startpunkt auf dem Weg in den Krüger. nichts
- Nynke (10/5): - Prachtige locatie, hele mooie kamer. Ontzettend aardige (nieuwe) eigenaren. Heerlijk gegeten!
- Natasja (9/5): -
- Werner (10/5): Afrikanische Traumunterkunft - Die Zimmer in dieser Lodge sind einfach traumhaft. Das Abendessen (Braai) haben wir vor einem Lagerfeuer eingenommen. Das Frühstück lässt keine Wünsche übrig. Diese Unterkunft werden wir auch bei unserer nächsten Reise in den Kruger buchen.
- Oleg (10/5): - Великолепное место! Понравилось буквально все!
- Imke (10/5): Fantastisch - Geweldige accommodatie mede door de fantastische gastvrouw en gastheer, Elke en Bart, en de manager Bonita. Zij doen echt alles voor je om het je zo aangenaam mogelijk te maken. Game drives, rondvaart met de boot, braai rond kampvuur, etc.
Kamers zijn zeer netjes ingericht in stijl van de omgeving. Ontbijt is heerlijk en de braai, welke op verzoek wordt georganiseerd, is echt een feestje.
Mijn vrouw en ik hebben een fantastische tijd gehad! Niks
- Cecile (10/5): - Les propriétaires des lieux sont adorables et aux petit soins, le séjour était vraiment très agréable !!
- Sam (9/5): Perfect first stop if landing at Hoedspruit - The brai was fantastic. The new owners and the manager are lovely!
- Marc (9/5): Très bien - La propriétaire parle français
La proximité avec les animaux sauvages
Bon petit déjeuner
Piscine propre Notre salle de bain mériterait d'être rafraîchie
- Naoil (10/5): Excellent - Tout Rien
- Horst (10/5): - Sander hatte uns super betreut. Giraffen und andere Antilopen waren in unserer nahen Umgebung. Die Lodge ist auf jeden Fall wieder zu besuchen, dann aber 2 Nächte.
- Yannick (10/5): Always great and convenient to stay @ the African rock with host Sander when needing to stay a night or multiple in hoed -
- Hendrik Oostwald (8/5): My stay was generally good and relaxing. - The breakfast, staff and location are great. The property was generally clean, and I had a relaxing stay in a very relaxing environment. With the wifi I could keep abreast with work matters. There was a hair ball from previous guests in the shower. The bed is a bit laid through, especially at the bedroom side.
- Mehdi (10/5): Mémorable - L'accueil était exceptionnel dans un lieu paradisiaque Tout
- Chris (10/5): -
- Lucas (10/5): Com certeza foi uma ótima escolha , nos sentimos em casa. - Da receptividade da equipe e do proprietário.
Da limpeza e da organização do local .
O café da manhã é excepcional, o churrasco tb nos surpreendeu. Não temos nada a reclamar.

- Margaret (9/5): Great place to relax and enjoy nature on your doorstep - Selected because on a wildlife reserve we were delighted to have sightings of both male and Female Nyala and watching a family of banded mongoose from our balcony. We took both evening and early morning walks into the reserve and enjoyed seeing birds and animals on both. Sander(the owner) collected us from the Airport and returned us the following day for the start of our safari, he did not simply leave us to find our onward transport but sought them out for us. We enjoyed chatting about his family's life and the very harsh impact of Covid in South Africa. The lighting in the bedroom could have been better, but it seems fairly common for hotel bedrooms to have rather subdued lighting, does not always suit us oldies.

- miles (10/5): The staff are the nicest team I’ve ever stayed with, incredibly hospitable, kind, friendly and couldn’t do enough for yo - The staff are the nicest team I’ve ever stayed with, incredibly hospitable, kind, friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. The rooms, dining terrace, Braii and fire pit and pool area are all amazing, with wildlife on your doorstep. The food was incredible, both the Meats on the Braii and the air dishes and lunches. Thanks so much to Sander, Juliette & the team, having stayed all over the globe in many places this is up there with the very very best. Nothing
- Dennis (10/5): Wat een pareltje!! - Wat een prachtige lodge! Overal is aandacht aan besteed. De kamers zijn mooi, schoon en gezellig met een zitje voor je deur. 's avonds kun je tegen betaling mee eten van de braai. Op het romantisch verlichte terras hadden ze een tafel voor 2 voor ons gedekt, echt een geweldige sfeer. Het eten was echt heerlijk, we hebben daarom besloten de 2e avond daar ook te eten. Eigenaren zijn heel sympathiek en Sander geeft goede adviezen over de omgeving. Ik had er nog wel een paar dagen aan vast willen plakken. Niks

- JEROME (10/5): Parfait - Super petit déjeuner et le soir nous avions réservé un brai à l hôtel très bien également Pour les grillades le soir avoir de bon couteaux à viande serait un plus mais c est un détail

- Cathy (10/5): Spectacular! One of the best-run hotels we’ve ever stayed in. Attention to detail was impeccable, food was delicious and - Spectacular! One of the best-run hotels we’ve ever stayed in. Attention to detail was impeccable, food was delicious and hosts were wonderfully welcoming. Thank you for a lovely stay. Nothing
- Kathryn (10/5): A real feel that you’re in Africa, both the setting and the food. - Such a gem. The animals come right onto the property. The layout of the complex was lovely, with a welcoming fire next to the braai area. The food was delicious and the staff very friendly. There are houses and a road nearby, they’re not intrusive.
- Richard (10/5): People Make The Place…African Rock Lodge has Incredible People - This lodge is in a private reserve. The owners, Sander and Juliet, are incredibly kind, hospitable and thoughtful. All of the little details are considered here…the rooms are spotless and cleaned twice daily; the internet is good enough for a video call if you need it; the tap water is potable; the showers are hot and with pressure; and the evening braai and morning breakfasts are delicious. The room decor is African, and the experience is definitely not a Marriott. If you’re lucky, some monkeys, deer or warthogs may wander by to say hello…or even a giraffe.
Sander is incredibly responsive, helpful, and he can take care of any booking needs. The guides he aligned us with were fantastic, knowledgeable, and really take great pride in their care of guests.
African Rock Lodge is wonderful value for money…it’s off the charts. Stay here if you’re looking for an authentic African experience and the opportunity to meet some really wonderful people in a charming location. Nothing. 100% wonderful!
- Zala (10/5): - A beautiful place in an amazing natural setting, wonderful people who run it, great food. Everything was simply perfect!
- Jörg (10/5): - Perfect start to the South Africa trip. Spend two nights: one evening walk in the reserve, seeing giraffes by foot. Next day roadtrip to blyde river canyon which is nearby. Every evening finished off with a braai. I can confirm other reviews, and say that it was the best food I’ve had during the three weeks in South Africa. 🇿🇦 thanks again sander for the lovely stay!
- Amélie (9/5): - La déco, la cuisine, la piscine. Rien
- Sabine (10/5): - Ich war jetzt zum zweiten Mal hier und weitere Aufenthalte werden folgen! Die Lodge ist einfach traumhaft schön, die Gastgeber unheimlich nett und das Dinner sensationell lecker.
- Jennifer (9/5): - Food and animals The bed didn't actually separate for 2 people. They just put separate blankets/sheets on the bed.
- Megan (10/5): -
- Rodolphe (10/5): Lodge agréable - Le cadre agréable
La chambre stylée et propre
La localisation (parc privé sécurisé proche des lieux d'intérêt)
Le petit déjeuner
Bon rapport qualité-prix pour l'ensemble
- Luis (10/5): Beyond expectations - Our stay here was just exceptional. The place has animals all around and the facilities are super good.
- Ron & Diana (10/5): - Alles, het resort op zich, eten en drinken de goede bedden, de persoonlijke aandacht van Sander en Juliette, de bungalow en badkamer. Het ontbijt is uitgebreid en erg goed verzorgd. Het avondeten is ook perfect geregeld en erg smaakvol. In de directe omgeving is er de mogelijkheid om te wandelen en wild tegen te komen. Fantastisch!!!!! Er is een persoonlijke service van de eigenaren, ophalen en wegbrengen van en naar de luchthaven, ook als je naar een restaurant of stadcentrum wil, perfect.
Wij hebben veel gereisd en dus veel accommodaties ervaren. Deze steekt er met alles ver bovenuit. Echt een aanrader
Wij schrijven ook nooit een review maar bij deze accommodatie konden wij het niet laten Totaal niets!!!!
- Christelle (10/5): Superbe - Chambre très belle, dans une petite réserve avec des animaux qui viennent parfois juste devant votre chambre. Le soir on a même eu droit au barbecue c’était hyper sympa. Ils proposent des packs avec des sorties, blyde canyon et même dans le Krüger, n’hésitez pas à vous renseigner avant car leur guide est vraiment passionné et passionnant. En plus on peut se balader à pied dans la réserve.
- CHAQMOL (10/5): Tolle Lodge am Kruger NP mit 100% Afrika-Feeling. - Super tolle und persönliche Gastfreundschaft durch Juliette und Sander. Es wird jeder Wunsch sofort erfüllt. Sehr schöne Anlage im Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate. Die Lage zum Flughafen (15 min.) und Kruger NP (1 Std. zum Orpen Gate) ist von Vorteil. Tolle Organisation von Safari und Game Drives durch Sander. Tiere im Wildlife Estate laufen frei herum. Tolles Afrika-Feeling.
Leckeres Frühstück. Zubereitung nach Wahl. Leckeres Braai (BBQ) auf Wunsch buchbar. Zimmer ohne Fernseher. Empfanden wir jedoch nicht als Manko.
Wifi-Empfang ist befriedigend, jedoch nicht top.
- Marion (9/5): -
- Olesya (10/5): Magical place for relaxing family stay - The place is simply magical. Coming from a big city, this was such a blast to experience nature and tranquility. Location is convenient for exploring Blyde river canyon and also in the middle of a wildlife reserve where you can walk or cycle when you are taking a break from safari drives. We enjoyed evenings by the fire with a glass of wine. The hosts Sander and Juliette are amazing and are going above and beyond to make your stay memorable. The food was great, especially dinners - best quality meals we had during our trip - much better than in a luxury safari lodge where we stayed after this place. Nothing
- Ria (10/5): I can highly recommend this place. Peace and quiet! - The hosts were so friendly and helpful. I'm interested in birds and I could walk down to a beautiful bird hide, just down the road. The food was really good and I loved my room!! I would highly recommend this place for a quiet and peaceful stay with sitting around the fire in the evenings and watching the stars.
- Xavier Ramette (10/5): - la chambre, la déco, l'emplacement rien
- arnaud (10/5): - Véritable paradis, accueil très chaleureux, des conseils, un dîner proposé en supplément avec grillades … superbe petit déjeuner ! Tout était parfait ! Rien
- Cerisier (10/5): -
- Bin (10/5): That's great…… - The room is very clean and hygienic, the breakfast is very delicious, the service staff is very enthusiastic, the surrounding environment is very quiet and comfortable, and people and animals coexist in harmony.
- Higor (10/5): Warm, welcoming, delicious, spotless, safe, perfect. - Our stay at African Rock Lodge was absolutely fantastic. Juliet and Sander are wonderful hosts who go above and beyond to make you feel at home. The food was delicious and prepared by them with so much care. The rooms were always spotless, as they continuously took care of every detail. They also helped us organize all our tours and activities in the area, which made everything so easy and enjoyable. As an LGBT couple, we felt completely welcomed, safe, and respected throughout our stay. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Hoedspruit! Nothing to complain
- Elisa (10/5): Exceptional - The host and hostess were so nice and organised a lot for me. The rooms were really clean and comfortable.
- Danyu (9/5): Superb - The location is super Lots of animals can be met during walk
- Monica (8/5): Good stay, we booked at discounted price. - The property is situated in a wild life estate. We had a lovely walk in the wild life area. The entrance around the back side of the guest house to the room (and the adjacent rooms) where we stay, is unsightly and unwelcoming.
- Ricardo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Imaad (10/5): Exceptional -
- Petra (10/5): Another relaxing stay ... - It is my 4th stay there and I like the place: quietly situated in the Wilderness Reserve where one can do nice walks. It has beautiful cozy rooms, excellent freshly prepared breakfast and they also serve very good dinner buffet, so no need to go out. Nothing, would have loved to stay 1 night more. Or maybe the little carpets/rugs in the rooms. I put them simply away not to fall over them, but not an issue.
- Mthembu (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tomas (10/5): Exceptional - The personal where lovely, and helpful. A perfect breakfast. And they also organized a brai for us. Nice inviroment with small animal walking frealy in the area. --
- Alice (10/5): Perfect! - We stayed two nights at African Rock Lodge as a stop between Pretoria and Kruger Park, and everything was perfect. The lodge is beautiful, the rooms are super comfortable, and every detail is carefully thought out. Sander was incredibly helpful with helping us planning our driving routes, and the fact that he speaks French was a real plus! We also really enjoyed the braai – delicious, fresh, and varied. We’d absolutely recommend it without hesitation!
- Jolenesmith (8/5): Very good -
- Carstens (8/5): Very good -
- Pierre (6/5): Pleasant - Proximity to airport and game in the reserve. Need maintenance inside and outside rooms
- 2e (9/5): Awesome place. Great host. Would definitely go back and recommend to friends ! - Host was amazing and what you get for the price is just superb. We booked a family room and it was probably one of the nicest family rooms we have every stayed in. Our son had a lovely bed and we felt like we got an African four-poster bed experience in a beautiful room. Even had our own veranda and saw a bush-baby in the evening plus plenty of buck, warthog and other animals wandering around. Nothing. Don't change a winning formula !!
- Razvan (10/5): The perfect choice for our trip to Kruger - We stayed (only) three nights at African Rock Lodge and it was the perfect choice for our trip to Kruger. Sander and Juliette were great hosts to us, their place is warm and cosy. We loved the dinners under the open air, food was delicious. With AFL being located in a wildlife reserve, we had the chance to meet impalas, kudus or giraffes during our stay and this made our experience unbelievable. Sander organised for us exciting safaris as well in Kruger and in private game reserves. I hope we will have the chance to come back here, everything was perfect and our only regret is that time flew too fast. Dear Juliette, Sander, we thank you, we wish you all the best and we hope you will find the resources to bring joy to many other visitors as you did it for us! :-) All was good, nothing to complain of!

- Phunyuka (10/5): Tranquility - Everything, the host, the environment and they have a collection of my favourite author 😊 Nothing, I loved everything
- Angela (10/5): Great location, friendly staff, clean and comfortable.fab food - Location was wonderful, a short walk into the wildlife park. Food was really good, plenty of choice and very tasty. Sander and Juliet were excellent hosts. They were happy to engage in conversation but at the same time gave you privacy to relax. Nothing. It was all very nice. I was very happy with my choice.
- Hennie (8/5): Very good -
- Jabulani (9/5): Superb -
- Wim (9/5): Superb - The atmosphere. We felt very welcome and it has a very cozy dining area.
- Russ (10/5): Home from home feeling. Probably one of the few places that we didn’t want to leave. Definitely on our return list. - Amazing, amazing, amazing. Having had 5 trips to South Africa I can honestly say this has been our best location & experience. Everything about this place exceeds expectations. The care & attention to detail is second to none. Nothing is too much trouble & the food is out of this world. Julieta is the most amazing cook.
- O'neill (10/5): Exceptional -
- Oscar (9/5): Superb -
- Melissa (9/5): Our family of 5 had a wonderful one night stay. Wish we could have stayed longer! - Hosts were super friendly. Unique property with lovely African artefacts, pool was lovely and it had a very homely feel. The breakfast was delicious. Nothing
- Simon (8/5): Rain spoined the kids swimming plans. but it was excellent -
- Josephine (10/5): Oasis of Peace and Wonders - I had a wonderful time at the African Rock lodge as I was welcomed with so much kindness by Sander, Julia & Family! The rooms and the bathroom are very big and cosy perfect for relaxation after and before game drives!
They rooms were very clean and the service was brilliant!
I loved staying in the pool during then day and relax around this beautiful place. The area is a safe one with lots of possibilities to go for a run and see animals in the wild ! Loved this family owned business that is not too big and humble! They are really taking care of their guests! I loved that. It was a wonderful time at African Rock Lodge! Stay 3 nights and you will be able to fully indulge in this place. I would always come back.
- Samuel (10/5): Excellent and enjoyable - Quiet,clean,safe and good value for money N/A
- Nyiko (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maureen (8/5): Our stay was beautiful. The staff are very welcoming. We are definitely coming back. Facilities great👌🏽 - The staff were welcoming, both dinner and breakfast was very nice. A very beautiful place The aircon is a bit far from the bed, not sure if it’s something that has to do with the mosquito nets but a more closer aircon would be nice. That place is scorching hot
