I have been meaning to write this review for a long time, but finally I have got round to doing it. This is by far my favourite spot in the Hoedspruit area. Having visited multiple times over the years with friends and my girlfriend, it came to feel like a second home. Gay and Willem are the perfect hosts in a perfect setting. Whether you spend the day on the deck listening to the bubbling sounds of the river, or if you go exploring in the surrounding wilderness, your time here will be tranquil and relaxing. Thank you for many wonderful stays and I cannot wait to return again when travel is permitted.

Very neat and tidy. A very relaxing experience with the family. Birds singing all around you!!! We had a wonderful experience and would recommend this place to anyone. Thank you very much Willem and Gay😁

We had a fantastic time at Blyde River Cabin, Gay and Willem were brilliant hosts from start to finish and very lovely people with amazing knowledge of the surrounding environment. The Cabin is cosy, spacious and well equipped and has an outside deck area where you can sit around the fire on an evening and listen to the sounds of the river and wildlife. We did a couple of Game Drives on site and were lucky enough to see Hippo and and Crocodiles in the nearby river. The Cabin is located in such a place that you feel totally surrounded by nature, but after a short drive down the dirt road, the lovely town of Hoedspruit is only about 10km away. We recommend Blyde River Cabin very highly and look forward to returning !

It’s a wonderful and comfortable accommodation for a family very friendly manager Gay you are really very helpful and kind

Un chalet reposant, en bord de rivière, très calme ! nous avons apprécié avant de reprendre la route. Cerné par les orangers, le parfum de fleur d'oranger était très présent : très sympa, l'accueil ! En parlant d'accueil, la propriétaire est avenante, sympathique et disponible.. Le chalet est grand, bien équipé. Un détail : les bruits dans la toiture (pas génants, mais inquiétant si on ne sait pas de quoi il s'agit) ne sont pas des rats, mais bien de mignonnes petites chauve-souris qui vous débarrassent des moustiques !! Si vous envisagez le self-catering (faire vos repas vous-même), pensez à vous approvisionner AVANT de venir... Pour l'itinéraire, rechercher d'abord "Jessica the Hippo", puis à partir de là, le chemin est à 50 mètres !

We always choose Blyde River Cabin when in Hoedspruit. Close to Kruger National Park. They are situated on a Game Farm with many antelope to see. Lovely views of the river. Ultimate place to relax and unwind. Good Wifi connections but rather take a book and sip sun downers on your deck. Short gravel road. Hope to go again later this year.

Beautiful location, stunning views This is a hidden gem. We will definitely recommend this place. Great value for money too

We had a lovely stay and the people were super friendly and helpful. Excellent value for money! Recommended.

We visited this little piece of heaven over the long weekend with our family and we had such a wonderful time. Gay gave us a very warm welcome and made us feel at home right away. We had a two and a half year old with us and he enjoyed the jungle gym and the river thoroughly. We will definitely recommend a visit to this beautiful place.
