O dono do local, Rob, é fantastico. Voce se sente em casa. Se voce tiver qualquer dúvida sobre onde se hospedar nesta região, nao pense mais. Este é o lugar! Absolutamente fantástico!

I strongly urge every traveler heading to this part of the world, to Hazyview, White River, Kruger, to stay at the Ashbourne. This was our first time there and we were in love with the vibe of the place, the surrounding area, the foliage, and our rooms were big, spacious, open, and quiet, with a lovely aesthetic. It felt like an elegant "Out of Africa" experience. Highly recommend a bottle of wine at sundowners overlooking the valley and the mountains. The breakfast was hearty, good fare. Delicious.

Absolutely amazing experience. Loved the property and room decoration. Swimming pool maintained excellently and water was refreshing. Rooms and dining areas decorated with excellent taste. Bottom line, felt like home in Africa. The views from the hill, where the property is located, are unique. Woke up early in the morning to see the sunrise with a cup of coffee and enjoyed the sunset with a glass of wine. Awesome! did not want to leave. The staff are loving, yes you read right loving and kind.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft in der Nähe von Hazyview. Wir haben für zwei Nächte im Honeymoon Cottage gewohnt. Diese kleine Steinhütte besteht aus einem großen Schlafzimmer, einer Küche und einem Bad. Ebenso hat diese Hütte einen eignen kleinen Pool und eine großzügige Terrasse mit Grillplatz, Sonnenliegen und Gartentisch. Neben der Möglichkeit der Selbstversorgung an der Unterkunft gibt es Frühstück und ebenfalls auch ein Dinner im Haupthaus. Vor allem das Dinner inklusive Wein war hervorragend. Die Gastegeber, Dawne und Rob, haben uns freundlich empfangen und mit ausgiebigen Tips für die Umgebung versorgt. Auch wenn es so aussieht als wäre nichts in der Umgebung, befinden sich mehrere Restraurants in 3km Entfernung und sind gut zu erreichen.

Etape de charme

C'était notre deuxième séjour l'Ashbourne Country Escape étant une étape idéale sur le chemin du Kruger. Nous en avons profité pour visiter Blyde Canyon. Nous y sommes revenus parce que l'endroit est charmant et authentique, ambiance familiale et bon enfant (mais tout de même avec l'argenterie pour le petit déjeuner!). Les chambres sont claires et calmes. Et l'environnement verdoyant. Nous y reviendrons!
