Khaya Ndlovu is a rare gem. The beautifully curated indoor and outdoor spaces on the manor strike the perfect balance between elegance and homeliness. All the staff provide perfect but at the same time very relaxed and super friendly service. The food is delicious. South African hospitality at its best!

Great hotel in the middle of a private reserve
The hotel was great! Food and service was nice, and most of the facilities were in great condition. We went on two game drives which were really well run, with very knowledgeable staff. We hope to return one day soon!

Good for first or last night especially
Very close and convenient to Hoedspruit Airport (about 5 min) It’s a big lovely manor type house with rooms in the main house (I think) and another external house, gathering living room type spaces, a nice pool backyard area. I think they are their own smaller game reserve, but we didn’t do a drive there. This is a good place to book just a room w/o drives included for much less. They “dehorn” their rhinos to prevent against poaching. There’s great debate on this subject. It WAS cool to see 4 rhinos at the waterhole during breakfast on the first day of our trip and also first day of 2019. A full 3 course dinner is supposed to be included in nightly rate, but we stayed over NYE & they had a party.... which sounded nice, but instead of a proper dinner, we were just served finger foods (after 2 days of traveling). We were invited to the manor’s NYE party, where we were offered drinks, so we were a bit surprised to get charged for them at check out. The rooms we had were lovely (rooms 3 & 4). we were not in the main house, but in an additional wing. Especially Loved the decor of the bathrooms. We had a family room which was MUCH more space than my son & I needed. There was a living room, a sort of dining room with antiques, 2 bedrooms with comfy beds and 2 bathrooms. The Staff was very friendly & helpful. We loved the tortoise that strolls along the grounds. Great spot for massages overlooking watering whole, lovely & refreshing pool & common sitting area

A great safari base.
Lovely friendly hotel, rooms are a little tired but the staff and location are excellent. We saw animals at the watering hole from breakfast.

Exemplary service, decor, and food. The Manor House, located within the Khaya Ndlovu Reserve, also has the best view in the lowveld. Relax by the infinity pool overlooking the waterhole, take a helicopter ride, or go on a game drive, the staff at The Manor House will see to your needs. We spent the most relaxing Sunday by the pool. Drinks and food were brought to us by Surprise, just one of the well-trained and hospitable staff on site. Our room was tastefully decorated and the bed was VERY comfortable. The Manor House feels like a home away from home. We hoped to stay again on our next trip to Hoedspruit.

Amazing location and warm hospitality
Our only regret was having just one night at this idyllic hotel. The outside areas were stunning and we saw warthogs and impala at the watering hole at sundown. The staff make the real difference here with their warm hospitality, In particular, George really impressed us throughout our entire stay as well as the magnificent chef , Shane. We truly felt like cherished guests

Perfect relaxation on a privately game reserve.
We booked just for an overnight stay because we wanted to be close to Hoedspruit for shopping before going into Kruger. We were surprised that the Manor House is in a private game reserve. Had we know we would have stayed longer in order to fully enjoy the premises which are stunning and do game drives too. They also have a special treat for guests with a rhino interaction. .

A Gem- Great location, views and service!!!
Absolutely loved this small boutique hotel and would highly recommend. On a game reserve with a wonderful view of the mountains and a close by watering hole for animal watching from a wonderful pool and veranda breakfast area. Very quiet and relaxing!!! Great service from all the staff - completed with fancy chef prepared multi-course breakfasts and dinners served family style (with the owners and included in the price) on the veranda and spa treatment (if you wish to pay extra.) A spacious suite with a nice outdoor and indoor sitting area decorated in very upscale Africa country house style. About a mile drive into Hoedspruit for shopping/ attractions and about 45 minutes from the Orlen gate of Kruger. The only negatives may be the WIFI is a bit slow in the room (but okay given the rural location) and it is way too easy to drink more than you planned and run a bar tab lounging on the patio with nice glass of South African wine each day.

A wonderful experience in the wild
This property is amazing. Their theme is "Home away from Home" and that exactly what my family and I felt during the 3 nights we spent there. The staff were really helpful and friendly and made us feel like we were surrounded by family. Meals, all free by the way, were nice and prepared by an extremely talented chief. We shared these meals with other guests and made a couple of friends in the process. The owner also joined us sometimes for breakfast and dinner. The location is in the middle of an african reserve and surrounded by nature. It is an hour and half from Kruger park and other safari destinations. We really loved the place and we will come again to indulge in this peaceful and quite atmosphere. The only complained I had is the slow internet connection which is expected in a remote place like this. Thanks to the whole staff for the amazing experience - Emma, Clayton, Trevor, Princess, Sebastian, Yan, Ray, and everyone....

A gem of a place
The manor house is beautiful, the staff are wonderful and the setting (inside a game park) is fantastic. We only booked one night here as a place to stay on our way to Kruger park, however, if we'd known how wonderful this place is, we definitely would have booked two nights. The main difficulty is finding the place... Siri unhelpfully navigates you to an army base! (The locals, however, will lead you in the right direction.) I almost don't want to give this place a good review for fear that too many people will come and it will lose it's current charm, but since it's unlikely I'll be able to visit South Africa again anytime soon, it's of no personal sacrifice to let others in on this wonderful sanctuary. Enjoy!

Excellent choice for a bush getaway
Khaya Ndlovu is a stylish spacious home with an amazing view, lovely pool and relax area, good dining and access to game drives or exploring the area. The staff are excellent, thanks to all (special compliments to George and JP the chef). We visited Kapama (great game viewing), drove through the reserve (very pretty), visited the spa, and relaxed by the pool. Lovely meeting the travelers staying there too (but appreciated that we could eat at another table if we wanted to). Hope to be back.

The Perfect Choice
So from where shall i begin? Everything was more than perfect. The staff is so friendly, they will facilitate everything: activities, tips and advices. Special thanks to Kate who is beyond friendly and will make u feel ur at home. Special thanks as well to Gareth, the well experienced game driver who will take u on an unforgetable drive. The lodge is very clean, has all the amenities required. Rooms are specious. Food was fantastic and the rate includes breakfast and dinner. You won't have a better view than their infinity pool, with animals playing and eating with your eye sight. Price in my opinion was very reasonable. Overall experience was extraordinary, go there if you are looking for a life changing trip.
