2 Bedrooms with private ensuite bathrooms

Spacious and extremely comfortable

The two bedrooms in the West Villa are made for real rest: each has an incredibly comfortable king-size, extra-length bed that can also be set up as two generous singles. Steel mosquito/monkey doors let you safely sleep with the panoramic sliders open for fresh air and the sounds of the bush. Every room has an ensuite bathroom, high-thread-count linen, ample USB charging (plus standard plugs), a desk, and large windows with views over the dry riverbed.

Large patio, deck and heated pool

Panoramic riverbed views

The West Villa offers a temperature-controlled pool with tanning ledge, a huge sunken boma with extra large fire pit, a spacious outdoor dining area, and comfortable lounge seating — all thoughtfully designed to match the villa’s refined interior. Facing the western side of the dry riverbed, it provides panoramic views of passing wildlife and birdlife. The outdoor area is completely private, and the villa’s exclusive location makes it one of the most sought-after in Hoedspruit.

Safari Activities

Have us plan your safaris

When staying at one of Hoedspruit’s most luxurious villas, you’ll want to make the most of the incredible surroundings. Nomads Den is just 2 to 10 minutes from several Big 5 reserves, with the scenic Panorama Route beginning only 45 minutes away. You can also access Kruger National Park via the Orpen or Phalaborwa gates — both an easy 45-minute drive from the villa.

Cooking & Chef services

Cook your own meals or book a private chef.

We love cooking and eating — so we made sure the kitchens are fully equipped for anyone wanting to channel their inner Masterchef in the bush. Not in the mood to cook? No problem. Hoedspruit offers a great selection of restaurants for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Prefer to stay in? We can arrange a private chef or have fresh breakfasts delivered right to your villa.
