Staying at Cuckoo Ridge instantly felt like we had family in South Africa. This place is cosy and clean, offering everything you need – including good breakfast with nice talks to the owners and family, while watching monkeys playing in the yard.

Simple perfection with a high level of attention to detail. The owners and staff are so wonderful and friendly. The cottage was absolutely wonderful. If you're looking for a sure bet close to Kruger for a very fair price, you can't do better than this.
