Blyde Mountain Country House

Hoedspruit, South Africa

About Blyde Mountain Country House

The Drakensberg mountains rise magnificently, forming the lip of the Blyde River Canyon, just past Blyde Mountain's garden. Blyde Mountain's thatched buildings are tucked away between citrus and mango estates, enhancing privacy and peace, surrounded by indigenous bird-inhabited trees and a carefully balanced garden with lapa and swimming pool. Creative and artistic rooms range in size and style, including family units and self catering cottages. All rooms have private entrances, DSTV, tea and coffee tray, airconditioning and garden or mountain views. Dinners by prior arrangement. Functions, conferences and weddings are catered for. Nearby activities include canyon hiking, hot-air ballooning, rafting, cruises, birding and hippo watching. Kruger Park is 40 minutes away and Hoedspruit’s Eastgate Airport, with daily flights to Johannesburg and Cape Town, is 20km away. 4-Star Guest House | Transfers by arrangement | Children welcome | WiFi hotspot

Stay at Zuleika Country House 23rd March 2013

"We attended a wedding in the area so had just one night - unfortunately! The welcome by Megan was warm and wonderful - made us feel right at home! Room was fabulous - comfortable and so pretty - think it may have been the honeymoon suite?!! Had a delicious breakfast before leaving to go back into the Kruger Park. Thank you Megan for making us feel special at your lovely guest house! Will certainly recommend it!!"

- Sheree Simpson from South Africa
wonderful place to stay

"we stayed in room no. 10 which is a standard room. Nice room with a large bath. Except the everything looked modern and stylish. Lovely breakfast and great dinner. Blyde River Canyon is next and we have to drive for 45 minutes to reach the Orpen Gate from Krugerpark. We really enjoyed the stay and extended for two additional nights."

Portfolio Expert Review
"The spectacular mountain and Blyde River Canyon scenery took my breath away. I sat at the bottom of the garden under the trees, just gazing up at the mountains but keeping a wary eye out for hippos in the small dam. The garden is delightful - peaceful and full of birds. The perfect place to explore the Canyon, and close to Kruger."
