Situated in a little green oasis, just 2km east of town towards Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, this dated but peaceful retreat offers a relaxing night’s kip among the jacaranda and bougainvillea. A renovation has given a partial facelift, and the luxury rooms come with couch and bushy outlooks. There's a bar and restaurant, with breakfast and dinner available.
