19 guests' feedbackLovely weekend cottage, well laid out and equipped.
Had a great time, the unit has everything one needs and is located in a quiet area of the "estate".
The place is beautiful and clean, but the owner is not friendly and doesn't respect people or talk with them nicely.
Stunning place for family or group. Private, all you need and more. Excellent location and no 4x4 needed to drive around estate.
Warthogs Rest and Hoedspruit were everything and more than we expected. Thanks again to the website for their reliability.
I absolutely loved this place. Location-wise, it's excellent! The estate is very safe, friendly and there are so many animals to see. At Warthogs we saw a great number of wildlife just sitting by the fire. Warthogs, bush babies, nyalas, steenbokkies, pheasants and plenty of birds. This resort has a luxury feel to it, I thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor shower and the cleaning lady was such a pleasure. I highly recommend Warthogs Rest. I did feel it was slightly overpriced considering loadshedding and that although advertised that picnic lunches are on offer at request; they were not and the pool could have been cleaner. Other than that I had a very pleasant experience and will visit again. The photos do not do it justice. For Wifi, I've given 3 stars due to loadshedding so that is worth taking into consideration.
Really enjoyed, felt very close to nature with the warthog family right under our noses. Large spacious rooms and the layout of the house is perfect. Couldn't see or hear any other houses. Feeling we are alone, deep in the forest. Will definitely want to stay longer next time.
Highly recommended, stunning, comfortable accommodation with absolutely everything you need. Our friends from Holland absolutely loved the environment and the accommodation. A very special place. Denieme was excellent and even couriered my friend's charger & plug back to Jhb that was left behind.
It was a very nice experience and we are definitely going back there. I only wish they can install the solar systems or at least get the generator as a backup when there is load shedding.
Everything was clean, tidy and well appointed. The wildlife is very tame which makes it an exciting regard especially for the children.
Have candles on guard in case of power failures and TV not working.
Rooms were very well equipped and comfortable. Very peaceful atmosphere with nice braai area and stoepie. Although there is a swimming pool we did not use it due to cool weather. Kitchen, dining room and living room nice and comfortable.
Great stay and great accommodation. Would definitely recommend Warthogs Rest for a family getaway.
Place is really nice and well equipped, but the owner is very incompetent and unhelpful. Cleaner comes in before 8 with day you have to check out at 10. Left a bitter taste in the mouth.
Neat place to stay with clean and luxurious facilities, well equipped kitchen and great amenities. The estate offers much more than one would expect and the walking friendly environment is a plus.
Best location in Hoedspruit.
We had a lovely stay. The house is well equipped, very tastefully decorated. The boma braai area is perfect, you feel like you are in the middle of the bushveld, splendid! The managing agent is excellent. She made sure we were taken care of and went out of her way to sort out an access issue at the estate gate. Thank you Belinda! One quite big negative is that nowhere on the website, is it mentioned, never mind made clear, that this house is rented out per room. We were under the impression that we had the house to ourselves, which is important to us. I was very disappointed to be told, late on the Saturday, that we would be having house guests. They were no bother but to me that is a very big negative. This is a self-catering house, not a B&B or a guesthouse which one would expect to be rented by the room. I will only book this place again if I am assured that we will have the house to ourselves.
Accommodation was painfully neat. Clean linen and towels! Very quiet area and very safe. All that bothers is the barking dogs of the permanent residents'. We will definitely stay at Warthog Rest again.
I would definitely go again.
