This is our 3rd time coming to Idle and Wild. It is a very romantic spot for us. Each rondavel has it's own private feel, like the setting is just for you. Beautiful gardens, pool, and room.

Great base in the Hazyview area
We booked a honeymoon rondavel, and appreciated the extra space this gave, including kitchenette and braai/bbq facilities. The gardens make for a wonderful setting and we enjoyed relaxing at the poolside. Next to a macadamia nut farm, next door’s upmarket farm shop sold great macadamia ice creams and produce. Owners and staff were very welcoming and we have no hesitation in recommending this as a base from which to have easy access to Kruger National Park and explore the area.
