Chestnut Country Lodge

As we had to visit Kruger National Park, we wanted to stay in a lodge close to the park and hence we chose Chestnut Country Lodge. We fell in love with the lodge, the moment we stepped into the place. The scenic view is breathtakingly beautiful and the rooms are tastefully done. The rooms have a classic and vintage vibe. They don't have television set, but that's completely okay as I don't watch much of the Telly. But their wifi is very weak. We loved their home style breakfast, but wish they had more variety. The dinner was just awesome. The hospitality, rooms and service was fabulous. This is one place I would love to come back.

I had a great experience in this lodge. Great hospitality in a secured space with all around fence. Free parking. Breathtaking views with comfortable bed and mattress. The room is big and new. Breakfast was good and with this views make it incredible.

A short 3km car friendly dirt road is all it takes to get to Chestnut Lodge from the main R536 Sabie - Hazyview road. The lodge is in a quiet tranquil setting of bush and farm plantations of Avocados and Macadamians with sweeping views of the valley below and distant mountains. The rooms are comfortable and spotlessley clean with beautiful valley and mountain views. It is well worth getting up early to catch the morning sun as it rises over the distant moutains to shine onto your veranda. The restaurant's food is fresh, tasty and generous, clearly made with care and no effort is spared to accommodate any specific food allergies or special dietary requirements. The  Vegan and Vegetarian dishes were sublime! The overall service experience was attentive and professional and we were well looked after. There are quite a few activites to undertake in the surrounds and lodge management is happy to advise on what is available. A huge thank you to the whole Chestnut team whom  brought their A-Game everyday.

Our first real stay arriving in South Africa and what a stay it was! Memory, Christine and Neil made sure we had everything we desired for: superbe breakfast, exquisite dinner, picknick breakfast that made up for the early morning to Kruger :-) etc etc. The rooms were large and spacious, with a magnificent view!

We (Dad and teenage son) were on a tour of South Africa and spent one night with the tour group at this really wonderful establishment, run by a nice lady originally from South Australia (but she's been in South Africa for many years). The rooms were great - spaceous and very comfortable. There was a brilliant home-cooked breakfast (made to order and a wide choice) in the airy dining area. There is a sunny deck around the pool and a cosy bar area. The staff were fabulous - so helpful, and they couldn't do enough for us after a long day on the road - carrying bags to the rooms, ensuring that everyone was settled, making sure people had adaptors to charge camera batteries, etc. I would definitely recomend this as a pleasant place to stay if you're in the area (God's window, Shangana village, Blythe River Canyon, and Bourke's luck potholes are within reach).
