Idle & Wild Chalet

My wife and I from the U.S. joined my wife's sister and her husband from Tehran for a brief tour of South Africa. The Kruger National Park near Hazyview was our second stop, after Capetown. The setting is absolutely charming, several miles outside of Hazyview. We arrived in the "low" season - December - and thus were the only guests for two of the three nights there. The lodging was excellent - each unit was a stand-alone thatched roof room with basic cooking equipment - no hotplate or stove, but microwave, toaster, electric kettle, and coffemaker. Amenities included a pool and a sauna, which my brother in law used and enjoyed. The maintenance was exceptional; the rooms sotless, the grounds well groomed. Breakfasts were a delight. The staff, particularly Connie (who spent years as an expert horticulturist in banana research) , went above and beyond and was very helpful in providing guidance and suggestions regarding where to go and what to avoid. Highly recommended!

We werden hier zeer hartelijk ontvangen door Tinus en Connie. Wat een liefde hebben ze in deze B&B gestopt, met oog voor detail. Wat een lieve, hartelijke mensen. Accommodatie is erg sfeervol, was erg schoon, alles is aanwezig, heerlijke bedden, goede douche. Bij het zwembad kun je heerlijk zitten. In de algemene ruimte kon je ontbijten, tv kijken, een boek lezen. Ze konden je ook veel tips geven over wat er te doen is in de buurt, waar we dankbaar gebruik van hebben gemaakt. Zeker de moeite waard om hier te verblijven.

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! CONVIENENT LOCATION. BEAUTIFUL GROUNDS. COMFORTABLE, AND AFFORDABLE LODGEING. MY SON AND I SPENT 5 NIGHTS IN RONDOVAL #2 ON OUR 12 DAY DREAM TRIP TO SOUTH AFRICA. CONNIE, AND SON, THINUS, WERE AMAZINGLY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL WITH INSIGHTS AND LOCAL TIPS! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BOOK BREAKFAST! THE ONLY DOWNSIDE FOR US WAS THAT THE MAIN ROAD WAS BEING RESURFACED WHILE WE WERE THERE WHICH CREATED A BIT OF A DISTRACTION.

A hidden gem. Lovely welcome from Connie, who is a fantastic hostess. Accomm is convenient for Kruger Park with two gates close by. The location is quiet and beautiful with a pool and gardens. Breakfast was very good Would definitely stay again if in the area

Idle & Wild continues to provide wonderful accommodation for those visiting this part of the country, especially those entering or leaving the Kruger National Park. The accommodations are set in beautiful gardens, which one can enjoy while enjoying a delicious breakfast on the spacious patio.

Such a lovely and peaceful property. We stayed just one night but would have loved to stay longer. Thinnus was an excellent host and provided great tips for our drive along the Panorama Route. The cottage and the Honeymoon Rondavel were very comfortable. We look forward to our next stay!
