Situated in the heart of an indigenous forest this oasis of lawn and selected trees offers a tranquil setting overlooking a valley of lush greenery and adjacent fruit farms. The all-weather concrete access road winds its way through an indigenous landscape with the occasional sighting of Red Duiker, Bush Buck, vervet monkeys and bands of mongoose.
Relax in the sun by the rock pool or in the shade of the boma with a book from our library, your private covered veranda in your chalets offers views over the Majajekulo river valley. Braai (Barbeque) under the stars listening to the African night, on quiet nights the sound of running water from the Majajekulo river can be heard between the cries of the Bush babies as they go about their nocturnal lives.

The 2 bed and breakfast chalet has either a king- or queen-size bed, an en-suite bathroom, and a private lounge. The 2 self-catering chalet has a fully equipped kitchen, an open-plan lounge and dining area, air-conditioning in the bedroom, a ceiling fan in the lounge, a hairdryer, and tea- and coffee-making facilities and the Sunbird Log Cabin is a semi self catering chalet, with 2 bedrooms. All linen and towels are provided, along with gowns and cutlery and crockery. Guests have access to free WI-FI in the public area and covered parking.

16 guests' feedbackI loved my vacation. It was amazing.
One of the nicest stops on the Panorama Route!
Definitely need to come back for a longer stay. I enjoyed our stay there, the place is nice and secure.
We were only there one night, and really enjoyed it. We will visit there again if we are in the area.
The accommodation was clean, it was perfect for a family trip.
Hospitality is super.
We enjoyed every moment of it, it is neat and clean. We would love to come back.
Beautiful and peaceful, surrounded by nature. Best and friendly hospitality and neat place.
Not happy at all with the rates.
We had a great time, beautiful surroundings, very peaceful. The accommodation is very neat and clean and very comfortable will definitely stay in the log house again, it is very well equipped and separate from the other guests. Lize and Adam are fantastic hosts and hostesses and make you feel at home immediately, once you visit here it is very difficult to drive away, you just want to visit a little longer. Would definitely recommend Cuckoo Ridge.
Website photos are misleading. Unit and porch are not as spacious as or photos. Braai areas need attention and grills were not clean. View is breathtakingly beautiful! Hostess very friendly.
A beautiful well planned retreat. It was truly worth staying over there. We even extended our stay! Everything is carefully done, only the best finish and of the highest quality.
Rooms exceeded our expectations - neat, clean and well laid out. Beautiful stoop for sundowners - easy drive to Kruger-Phabeni gate.
Beautiful area. Wonderful accommodation, but the people make you feel like family. Strongly recommended.
In terms of safety Cuckoo Ridge is on point. It's a wonderful place, people are friendly and welcoming but the one thing that I wished they had was a pool - I longed for that but unfortunately they don't have.
