Convenient, well located.
Great destination for family or friends who want to visit the park. Many activities in the surrounding area.
Gerieflik, goed geleë.
Lekker bestemming vir familie of vriende wat die wildtuin wil besoek. Baie aktiwiteite in omliggende area.

Restful surroundings and stylish decor.
Communication from Raptors Lodge was excellent. The unit was stylishly appointed and the four-poster bed with draped netting gave it a romantic feel. Coffee, tea and rusks are supplied to welcome you after a long day's travel. The outside shower would be lovely on a hot summer's evening, but in mid-winter we settled for the huge bath. The grounds are well maintained and secure, except from cheeky monkeys. Unfortunately very little other wildlife to be seen. The main swimming pool is quite small so would be a problem in the summer heat. Negatives ...

The main swimming pool is quite small so would be a problem in the summer heat. Negatives would be the same as with many self-catering accommodation, knives are blunt, crockery is miss-matched and no matches supplied for the braai fire. Access to the Kruger Park is at Orpen gate, a mere 70 km from Hoedspruit.
Lekker gebly, baie rustig.

A little gem in the bushveld. Will definitely return.
We enjoyed the lodge in the bush in a safe estate.
'n Klein juweel in die bosveld. Sal definitief terugkeer.
Ons het die lodge baie geniet in die bosveld in 'n veilige estate.

Value for money and a very beautiful place.
The house was very beautiful and neat and it has everything you need for a couple of night's stay. Our house was between two roads, but it was very peaceful.
Waarde vir geld en 'n baie mooi plekkie.
Die huisie was baie mooi en netjies gewees en dit het alles wat jy nodig het vir 'n paar aande se verblyf. Ons huisie was tussen twee paaie gewees, maar dit was tog baie rustig.

Eenheid was puik.
Ons het baie lekker by Raptors Lodge gebly. Het in eenheid no 9 gebly wat sy eie swembad gehad het definitief die moeite werd om daar te gaan bly. 10 uit 10.
Obert L - Feb 2019
Perfect place for holiday. I loved the privacy and tranquility.
Rooms and beds are perfect. Enjoyed the outside shower because it blends with nature.
Thabang M - Jan 2019
A great place to unwind after a long year, everything you need is there. The downside was that the pool is small and had no braai area either. I'll definitely stay there again.

Ons het vir 4 dae by Raptors gebly en het elke oomblik daarvan geniet!
Baie aangenaam. Het ons tyd daarso geniet! Goed toegeruste huisie en die warm somershitte het ons nie so baie gepla nie. Baie maklik toegangbaar.
Desire O - Dec 2018
Wonderlike plek waar ons lekker ontspan het.
Beslis die moeite werd!
Rene L - Oct 2018
It exceeded out expectations.
Would definitely recommend this place for a weekend away with friends without the kids. It's not child-friendly. It is well-equipped, neat and clean. The private swimming pool was what saved us in the heat. We really enjoyed our weekend. Thank you, Raptors Lodge!
Sal definitief die plek aanbeveel vir 'n alleen naweek of saam met vriende sonder die kinders. Dis nie kindervriendelik nie. Die plek is goed ingerig en was netjies en skoon. Die privaat swembad was ons redding in die hitte gewees. Ons het ons naweek baie geniet. Dankie, Raptors Lodge!
Natasja L - Oct 2018
Fantastiese atmosfeer en baie spesiale plek vir natuur liefhebbers en wegbreek geleentheid. Ons was so verras met die vriendelike diens en netheid.
Ons was baie verras met julle vriendelike diens en uitstekende kommunikasie. Dankie! Die naweek was fantasties, netjies, skoon, alles was ons nodig gehad het. Ons sal definitief weer kom kuier. Iets was ek net opgemerk het wat julle in gedagte kan hou vir toekomstige gaste is miskien vuurhoutjies as iemand dit vergeet en ook nog koffie bekers daar was net 3 beskikbaar en ons was 4 gaste so mens moet dit die heeltyd was. Verder was dit uitstekend. Het die natuur verskriklik geniet.
Die diens was puik, dit was baie skoon en modern. Ek sal vir seker Raptors Lodge aanbeveel vir ander mense en vir seker weer teruggaan.

Ongelooflik, goeie waarde vir geld.
Baie lekker plek, goeie waarde vir geld.

Best service ever! Kimberly is really the best and was so grateful for all her help. It was amazing.
Not sure with regards to any other good sites in Hoedspruit as we have been to some camps but will have to do some research on places to see and to go to. The Blyderiver Canyon was amazing, specifically the boat trip, even though we had to stand, as the boat captain could not arrange and organise other people not to use the spare seats as storage for their bag and luggage!
Riana S - Jul 2018
Comfortable accommodation close to attractions.
Well equipped unit for 4 people. In the bush, yet only a stone's throw from the shops. Just an hour's drive to the Kruger Park for a day visit. Would definitely stay here again.
Gerieflike verblyf naby baie besienswaardighede.
Baie goed toegeruste eenheid vir 4 persone. Binne in die bos, alhoewel 'n klipgooi van die winkels af. Slegs 'n uur se ry om die Krugerwildtuin te besoek as 'n dagbesoeker. Sal beslis weer gebruik maak van hulle lodge.
Michaela M - Jul 2018
Lekker en gesellig.
Baie lekker. Maar No 5 se krane lek en kort aandag. Dak moet ook gestofsuig word vir spinnerakke.

Pretty little place, but didn't sleep well.
Pretty place in the bushveld, clean and tidy. We stayed in Unit 3. The guests in Unit 18 gave us sleepless nights! On Friday evening we heard them but it wasn't too bad. Saturday morning the people already had beers in their hands when they walked past our unit. On Saturday evening there was loud music, shouting, singing and a lot of noise. I had to phone the 24 hour office and after half an hour a vehicle showed up to quiet the people down. This was 01:00 in die morning, but they probably only stopped after 03:00. I looked forward to a peaceful ...

Mooi plekkie, maar nie lekker geslaap nie.
Mooi plekkie in die bosveld, skoon en netjies. Ons het in Eenheid 3 gebly. Die mense in Eenheid 18 het ons slapelose nagte gegee! Vrydagaand het ons hulle gehoor, maar dit was nie te rof nie. Saterdagoggend het die mense al biere in hulle hande gehad toe hulle verby ons eenheid gestap het. Saterdagaand was daar harde musiek, geskreeu, gesing en baie geraas. Ek moes die 24 uur-kantoor bel en hulle het 'n voertuig na 'n halfuur gestuur om die mense stil te maak. Dit was 01:00 die oggend, maar hulle het seker eers na 03:00 opgehou. Ek het uitgesien ...

'n Fantasiese lekker plek om te bly, geriewe en ligging is fantasies.
Martie R - Jan 2018
Voldoende, maar netheid en onderhoud is dringend nodig!
Pragtige verblyf en goed toegerus. Huisies binne kort dringend ‘n goeie skoonmaak, groot spinnerakke bedek die grasdak, wasmasjien werk maar is vuil. Die deur na die buite stort se handvatsel is los! Met ‘n bietjie moeite kan dit vinnig reggestel word!
Lida P - Dec 2017
Lekker spasie, fantastiese buite stort!
Raptors Lodge personeel was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Huisies is ente uit mekaar geleë - gee jou baie privaatheid. Sal vir seker weer hier bly!
Evert J - Nov 2017
Raserige en stowerige pad reg verby eenheid.
Konstante vloei van karre verby eenheid op 'n stowerige pad.
Deon J - Nov 2017
Die verblyf is 'n bederf en die rustigheid, netheid en volle DStv diens het bygedra tot 'n welkome huislike gevoel en ervaring. Die braaier buite kort so 'n bietjie aandag aangesien die rooster in het en kan jou vleis daardeur verlore raak. So 'n bederf en die waarde vir geld dra daartoe by dat ek enige tyd weer daar sal gaan bly. Die WiFi diens is egter baie stadig en 'n bietjie frustrerend.
Harold Z - Oct 2017
Waarde vir geld, en personeel is baie hulpvaardig.
Sal enige tyd weer teruggaan vir langer! Stil mooi en iets van alles om te kan doen. Winkels is naby asook avontuur!
Corne B - Oct 2017
What a surprise! So well appointed and private without being secluded. Wonderfully equipped chalet, neat and with luxuries and comforts that exceeded our expectations. It was amazing.
Ons was regtig verras oor hoe goed die uitleg gedoen is dat jy privaatheid het sonder om alleen te wees. Chalet is wonderlik goed toegerus, netjies met luuksheid en gerief wat alle verwagtinge oorskry het. Dit was amazing.
Bernadette W - Sep 2017
Lovely accommodation. Only criticism was that no milk sachets were provided for tea and the traffic on the adjacent road to the estate next door.
Dieter J - Aug 2017
Ruim, goeie fasiliteite, waarde vir geld.
Motlatsi K - Jul 2017
Raptors Lodge is easy to find, its situated in a very convenient part of town. The place is beautiful, well kept, very clean. Ideal for a couple.
Nastassja P - Jun 2017
Such a beautiful place and so clean and the reception service was great. Will definitely be back.
Was awesome gewees.
Dit was so mooi plekkie en so mooi skoon en die diens by ontvangs was great. Sal verseker weer daar bly.
Mauritz N - Feb 2017
Neat, luxurious and relaxing.
Netjies, luuks en ontspannend.
I won't stay there again, expected more value for my money. It was as if they didn't clean the place, there was still milk in the fridge from the previous guests and there was a dirty cloth by the sink. The sement on the edge of the bath was broken.
Ek sal nie weer daar gaan bly nie, het meer verwag vir waarde vir my geld, dit was asof hulle nie die plek skoongemaak het nie, daar was nog melk in die yskas van die vorige mense wat daar gebly het en daar het 'n vuil lap gelê by die wasbak. Die badrand se sement was stukkend gewees.
Very nice place. I enjoyed my stay. Will recommend to others.
Add some pets around the area.
Ilze F - Nov 2016
Will definitely go stay at Raptors Lodge again. They thought of everything: from the cold water in the fridge to the iron in the cupboard. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.
Sal definitief weer gaan bly by Raptors Lodge. Daar word aan alles gedink: van die koue water in die yskas tot die yster in die kas. Dankie vir 'n onvergeetlike ervaring
Christone' G - Sep 2016
Unique accommodation for nature lovers.
Everyone was friendly, we had a very nice honeymoon there. Will stay there again anytime. Everyone went out of their way to make it special for us.
Unieke blyplek vir natuurliefhebbers.
Almal was baie vriendelik, dit was 'n baie lekker honeymoon wat ons daar gehad het. Sal enige dag weer daar tuisgaan. Almal het baie moeite gedoen om dit vir ons spesiaal te maak.
Natasha A - Aug 2016
Raptors Lodge not only delivered great service, but the rooms and units are neat and modern! The unit was well-equipped and with the restaurant nearby we never had to drive anywhere. The game roaming freely and going past the rooms greatly contributed to the "game park" experience. We can definitely recommend it.
Raptors Lodge het nie net goeie diens gelewer nie, maar die kamers en eenhede is netjies en modern! Die eenheid was goed toegerus en met die eetplek daar naby het ons nie eers nodig gehad om iewers heen te ry nie. Die wild wat verby die kamers loop, het sommer die wildtuin-ervaring vroeg-vroeg begin. Ons sal dit definitief aanbeveel.
Baie dankie, hierdie positiewe terugvoer word opreg waardeer. Sien uit om julle weer as gaste te hê.
Tertia C - Jul 2016
Kim and Leigh offered excellent service and was more than willing to help us with everything. Will definitely recommend them.
Wat `n pragtige plek.
Kim en Leigh het stunning diens gelewer, en was meer as bereid om ons te help met als. Sal definitief hulle aanbeveel.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It means so much to us.
Vanessa D - Jul 2016
Die verblyf is skoon en netjies.
Anna D - May 2016
Baie sentraal en uitstekende fasiliteite.
Wens ek kon 'n week plaas van twee dae bly!
Anet M - May 2016
Die eenheid is prakties gemeubileer en voorsien in al jou behoeftes. Dis goed geleë met baie vriendelike diens. Die huisie is baie veilig en gerieflik na aan die eetplekke ens.
Alhoewel die verblyf baie skoon en netjies was, was daar geen swembad soos wat op die blad geadverteer was nie. Ek sou aanbeveel dat mense wat by Raptors bespreek eers doodseker maak waar hulle ingeklok word, want daar is 2 persele waarvan die een glad nie is soos wat geadverteer word nie. Gaste word ontvang deur die "anti poaching"-wagte, wat glad nie baie verwelkomend was nie.
Dawn D - Mar 2016
Was mal oor die pragtige plek.
Sarie P - Mar 2016
Die eenheid was nie uitgevee voordat ons in is nie. Dooie goggas en hopies sand op vloere en vensterbanke en leë sjampoe bottels in stort. Geen warm water in kombuis.
I hope you do not mind me replying in English. We sincerely apologies for the problems you has during your stay and I wish you had called us while you were with us so we could have rectified the problems and made it up to you with something special.
We are going to speak to our cleaning staff and find out exactly why this happened to you.
I am also going to contact you via email as I can not get through to you on your cell phone.
Pieter P - Feb 2016
Pragtige plek, net BAIE moeilik om te kry in die aand.
Lugversorging in al die kamers of selfs waaiers sou gaaf gewees het. Hoedspruit is te warm om daarsonder te wees.
Met aankoms het ek gesukkel om die kantoor te kry. Daar was geen name op geboue nie. Maar nietemin, dit was ook ons eerste besoek. Die lodge is baie rustig en dit het ons die gevoel gegee van jy is in die bosveld. Het swaar getrek met die hittige dae en voel daar moet in elke vertrek lugverkoeling wees. Het net een lugverkoeling in een slaapkamer gehad. Verder was die plekkie baie skoon en baie netjies -binne en buite. Ek het 'n ekstra versoekie gehad voor aankoms en dit was gedoen sonder probleme - baie dankie. Sal definitief weer gaan vir n wegbreek.
Wilhelm B - Jan 2016
Ons het dit baie geniet. Lekker ruim.
Eenheid was baie skoon en netjies.
Thank you very much for your great review. I hope to see you again soon. Kind regards, Leigh
Sonnette B - Jun 2015
Baie goed geleë, stil omgewing, goeie sekuriteit, skoon en netjies!
Uitstekend vir besigheid- en vakansieverblyf. Baie skoon en netjies. Mooi omgewing. Restaurante stapafstand van verblyf.
Lizelle C - Apr 2015
'n Paradys met ontspanne atmosfeer.
Jy kan kom en gaan soos jy wil. En dis naby aan die Krugerwildtuin. Absoluut 'n heerlike wegbreekplek maar tog naby alles.
Jan B - Feb 2015
Zeer compleet, schoon groot met een heerlijke buitendoevhe.
We kregen een mailtje waarin stond wat de code van het het was en dat de sleutel op tafel lag. En zo was het, een heerlijk huis prima inrichting. Airco en een waaier. Buiten een grote tafel met makkelijke stoelen.
Vanessa V - Nov 2014
Netjies, skoon en baie mooi.
Ons het 'n wonderlike naweek gehad. Die "huisie" het alles wat jy nodige het en die badkamer en kamer is baie mooi en netjies. Jul sal ons definitief weer sien.
Jerome B - Aug 2014
A very comfortable and relaxed stay.
Was very impressed with the accommodation and location. Definitely will go there again. The unit was spacious and comfortable and absolutely private. We had an occasional visit from one or two animals which we welcomed. Only one downside was that the open-plan bathroom/bedroom was not practical.
Zelda M - Jun 2014
Very beautiful, clean and stunning outlay! Enjoyed it very much and will recommend to anybody.
Diederik A - Jun 2014
Dit was uitsonderlik mooi.
Adèle S - Feb 2014
Sal beslis weer gaan. Geen klagtes. Baie netjies, skoon en veilig.
Pippa K - Jan 2014
Lovely place and lovely people too.
The toilet was open to bedroom and had no privacy, but other than that, it was great!
Arnold H - Jan 2014
Me and my fiance had a great stay at raptors lodge, in unit 20. Lee was very helpful with our requests. Best holiday I have had for a long time.
Nico V - Sep 2013
Die plekkie is ongelooflik skoon en netjies. Dit is sentraal geleë. Leigh se gasvryheid is ongekend. Sy gaan uit haar pad om jou verblyf aangenaam te maak sonder om jou privaatheid te versteur. Linda het dit mooi skoon gehou en was baie vriendelik en aangenaam. Baie dankie vir 'n lekker tyd. Ek sal beslis weer terugkom en die plekkie vir almal aanbeveel.
Keneilwe M - Jun 2013
Good place that is value for money
We enjoyed our stay at Unit 5. The chalet was clean and functional apart from the TV reception which was irregular. However the peace and tranquility of the environment makes it an ideal get away for stressed city dwellers.
Michelle J - Jun 2013
Dis rerig n lekker plek om te ontspan.
