Kurhula Wildlife Lodge

Parsons Nature Reserve, plot no. 25, in the neighbourhood of Hoedspruit

Closed and moved to:
Book safely via Booking.com!

There are 4 rooms, attached per 2; the two buildings are situated one after another with a height difference. Beautiful and above all practical with good beds, but rather small. There is a mini fridge available. The beautiful bathroom has 2 sinks. 2 rooms share a balcony. The disadvantage we experienced is that we smelled cigarette smoke from the neighbor occasionally in our direction. The rooms and the restaurant overlook the Olifants River. There are seats at the river. There is no fence around it, so all the wild can walk past! We saw an elephant walking through the garden both days (and much more) and heard lions at night.
The breakfast and dinner are good, but not lavish or luxurious. Pre and dessert is more special, main course is simple potato-vegetable-meat(or supermarket meat substitute) and perhaps too little for a big eater. The service is good but not the kind that staff comes to you when they think you need something. This is more usual with Dutch owners and management. No buffet. Excursions can be booked.

There is a small infinity pool, but it is probably too cold for most swimmers in September.
The journey from the entrance of the nature reserve to the 'lot' on which this lodge is located takes about 45 minutes and parts are as good as unsuitable for non 'high clearance' vehicles. It is possible, but it did not seem sensible to us. In terms of price, you think of a relatively low-priced luxury lodge, which we have visited elsewhere. But there the cottage was bigger, not attached, the meals more extensive and refined and safaris included. Compared to this we found this lodge actually about 50% too expensive. We do not discourage it, because the area is really special and there is not much to complain, but you have to go with the right expectation.
