Come and refresh your soul at this peaceful, light & bright, self built, unique A-frame house. Come and enjoy our peace and serenity of our bushveld away from the city buzz. Situated on the banks of the Elephants River allowing visitors to experience a range of wildlife incl. Hippos, Crocodile, Leopard, Bushbuck, Monkeys, Waterbuck and a wide variety of bird species. Stunning African sunset views can be witnessed from the comfort of your home. Distance to the nearest Kruger National Park gate (Phalaborwa) is 56km and the nearest town is Hoedspruit being only 27km.

The neighborhood is very nature aware and enjoys the peace and quiet atmosphere of the bushveld. They are very protective towards their little estate and the wilderness it has to offer and also wants it to be respected when visiting.
