Wielewaal Bush Lodge

We had a best experience ever. The lodge is absolutely amazing, luxurious, clean, beautiful colours and so much to do to unwind. The hosts and the staff were amazing. We would definitely book there again and again. Its was a beautiful birthday weekend.

We were amazed at the beautiful Lodge and even more about the friendly and hospitable hosts, Willie & Retha and their excellent staff. We want to return with all out family and friends to Wielewaal Bush Lodge!

The hosts were extremely attentive to make sure we had a great time & were comfortable. Honesty bar with good selection. This is a great place for a bush experience, food was delicious. Will be back in near future with more time

The most beautiful, eclectic and lovingly decorated lodge in an estate teeming with free roaming wildlife. We enjoyed amazing meals prepared by Retha and staff, and the best hospitality and welcome from Willie. This was the best place to arrive to after a long flight with kids. Location was a close 30 minutes to Kruger's Crocodile Gate. Besides that we enjoyed time simply hanging around the lodge, having drinks, and watching wildlife stroll by.

Imagine a breakfast for a King and Queen. You are in the bush, a sumptuous feast before you on a table adorned with a riot of colour, scent and taste. The attention to loving detail is stunning. A single mongoose appears quickly followed by a swarm of jostling fur, twenty or so darting bodies scouring the ground for offerings. A line of warthogs, some small, others big, meanders towards the table and down on their front knees, they begin to snuffle up the vegetable peelings thrown out for them. All this within touching distance. Several stately Kudus emerge from the brush, mystic beings, and elegantly take green bananas from your hand. Impalas, blue wildebeest and Roebuck enter from the wings - this is breakfast. Wielewaal Bush Lodge is a wonderland. Willie and Retha, the hosts, joyful, attentive and caring, have created a world of extraordinary beauty. An endless collection of historic, quirky, fascinating objects, an exceptional decor full of African mementos fills thatched rooms - a dining room, bar, lounge and various seating areas. Every nook and cranny is a new revelation, an Alladin’s cave, a treasure trove of vibrant colour filling you with wide eyed wonder. Dinner is a performance. The Boma (BBQ area), situated down an exquisitely paved path, is a circular amphitheater, tribal patterns painted on the walls, candlelit, with thrones and tables facing the central fire pit. Drums usher in the procession of the food, a feast for the senses and our hosts appear to share the intricacies of the Afrikaans gourmet food laid before you. Their dedication to their guests is outstanding. Your every wish is immediately taken care of. And for the uninitiated to the Afrikaans culture, they are a treasure trove of knowledge and personal insight. A special oasis of joy and beauty. Perfection.

Was really nice our stay at Wielewaal! Breakfast with zebras and other animals The dinner fantastic! Super clean! The owners are solicitous and affable, makes you feel like home. If I come back, I come back to the same spot over and over! Really a super nice hotel!!
