11 Raptors Lodge

What a fantastic experience in Hoedspruit. Wonderful new restaurant with the best service and food. Alsl the accommodation is top class.

Everything about this place felt like luxury mixed with adventure. There is a lot of effort for details around the place that makes it feel special. The park as well as the house is very clean en the staff at reception was very friendly. I would absolutely reccomend this place to anyone for a long stay as well as for a short one.

What a beautiful and convenient place to relax, eat and work. The food, staff and place overall are amazing. Our children loved the beautiful fish pond..

Have been visiting the Lodge for the last 7 years. Business. The lodges are in the process of run-down. Lights in lodge 6 is so insufficient you can hardly see anything. No mimmor at the dressing table. Cockroachea in the kitchen and main bedroom. The netting folding over the beds, are damaged, ugly and old. Lodge 6.

To start with , the family stay doesn’t offer a baby chair at the restaurant. The security guards sits and smoke at the unlit fireplace / boma. They also sit around in the dining area and on the couches in the restaurant and play on their phones. There is no bathroom mats, posing an occupational health and safety risk for slipping and falling as the floor is very slippery after getting out of the unhygienic brown water bath you just had to endure. There is also no floor mats at the bed so you could clean your feet before getting into the ‘not so clean’ bedding. The bedding smells and is visibly old/dirty. The toilet seat is a cheap plastic , flimsy seat that is uncomfortable. There is no hand towels anywhere in the unit. Our unit, number 20 had very poor lighting outside, making it impossible to find your unit number without using a cellphone torch. Especially coming in on a Friday night as a family. No light? Is a problem and also very unsafe! Our unit had dustbins without any covers/lids? Also not safe for a baby. Our throw on our bed had a cigarette burns on it. Our unit was against the road (a very busy road I’d like to add) so we couldn’t even open our blinds or our curtains to supposedly enjoy the “bush view”. A mirror without a frame - again unsafe / occupational safety risk. Not only that, it looks bad and there is no table / bag rest. The plants at the braai area was over grown with weeds and a previous celebration cork was still laying in the garden bed. Also, you display a fireplace in the lounge on your advisement, however, there was no fireplace in our unit, just some cupboard with uncovered previous paint.

This was one of the nicest places I have stayed in for a long while. The unit has everything that you need for that breakaway, I booked in here for one night while traveling for business and it was a very pleasant experience. The unit is fully fitted making your stay very comfortable with a outside built in braai. The unit has ceiling fans as well as an air conditioner in the room which really helps with the heat at night. The highlight of the room is the outside shower which is quite cool. The units are close to each other but not to close that you still have your own privacy. I will definitely recommend this place as a weekend getaway. Some of units even come with a small splash pool which I will definitely book the next time I go to this place

Great rooms. Spacious and luxurious. Own braai area and parking. Well equipped kitchen and rooms.

Love it. Really great service, very nice family place. Super clean. Great location. I hope to visit it again!!!
