Hotels near Hoedspruit Eastgate Airport (HDS), Hoedspruit

Food was delicious, we had dinner and breakfast. The room looked out on to bush and wild animals

I loved the location right in the bush, the rooms and pool and interior of the lodge were perfect.

The staff were just so helpful.

Well, I travel a lot and this is one of the rare places where it is hard to find negative aspects. The venue is in a secure and beautiful wildlife estate with lot's of game that walks around at the property. So, when walking around or when sitting under the porch there is frequent visit of beautiful animals. The villa itself is clearly well-designed with all the latest and modern technology. Also, the design blends all perfectly and gives you a very luxurious feeling. Cleanliness is impeccable. Beds are very comfortable! Perfect airco inside, great WiFi, Sat TV, super modern kitchen, incl wine fridge, nespresso machine; laundry machine... all present. Thanks to the reverse osmosis water purification you have very clean water. The showers produce a lot of hot water and the available toiletries are of great quality. Outside you have a very large porch, with big dining table, comfortable lounge seats and swimming pool. The pool is not heated and not big enough to swim; but perfect to cool down a bit on hot days. Also available are a Big Green Egg and a big Weber BBQ for those who want to do a braai. We ordered a private chef and massage through Nomad Den and both were great value for money!

Elegant, and animal print designs

It’s beautiful, quite, clean and neat

I stayed here for 5 nights, sun-friday. Overall amazing place to stay in the wildlife estate! -Easy communication with whatsapp with the host. I mentioned i would be early, around 12 pm, and asked if i could just drop off my suit case and walk around while cleaners finish, it was ok. I left and walked around the estate a little and already ran into many animals. returned and they were just finishing up cleaning at 2pm, and chatted with natasha about the estate and the house. keys were on the table, 3 keys, 1 front door, 2 back door, and 3 for lappa (BBQ outdoor room). -There is a gate and a code needed to enter the estate, they sent me it on whatsapp and it worked every day until friday, it expired. The gate is automated for vehicles (or you can talk to person too), but the pedestrian gate is always in person, not automated. -There is 5 bedrooms, 3 on the main level, and 2 upstairs including the master bedroom. All the rooms are very nice, well decorated, but i only used the master bedroom upstairs. The master bedroom bathroom was great, 2 showers and tub. The view from the 2 balconys was very nice sunset/rise. I didnt use the pool but its a nice feature of the house. I tried to make a fire in the fire pit but it never would stay lit, i think because i was useing the fire thing instead of building fire on the cement in the fire pit. I didnt use the Lappa, or bbq room, but it would be amazing for a family or groups to use while sitting on the deck. The kitchen is fully equipped, big fridge with brita water filter water cooler built in. Smart TV with access to netflix and youtube, etc.. A very nice washing machine for clothes. It might have had a drying ablity too, but i used the outdoor clothes line, about 20 min in the sun and dried. nice gravel driveway and covered car ports. And even a playground for children.

From the moment we arrived at Unembeza, we knew we had found something special. The hotel is immaculate, blending luxury with nature in the most seamless way. Every detail is thoughtfully designed—not just for comfort, but with a deep respect for the environment. The staff deserves a special mention: incredibly kind, attentive, and always going the extra mile with genuine warmth. Their passion for hospitality shines through in everything they do. The food was consistently delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. And the little details, like the heavenly scented soaps, just made everything feel even more special. One of the absolute highlights was our safari with Jason—an experience beyond words! His knowledge, enthusiasm, and ability to make every moment unforgettable turned an incredible adventure into a once-in-a-lifetime memory. Unembeza is a place where aesthetic, nature, and hospitality come together in perfect harmony. If you’re looking for a stay that combines relaxation, adventure, and heartfelt service, look no further. We can’t wait to return!
