The standard is not luxury but everything works: a/c, wifi on the veranda, clean swimming pool. Dinner is served in a romantic arbor, ok, but but not gourmet. But you get a lot for the ..."

Hosts are very attentive and helpful. A cottage for two singles is a bit cra..."

It is a long drive from Johannesburg to the northern camps of the Kruger Park, so we looked on the Internet for a homely overnight stop in the Hoedspruit area. The name ‘Blue Cottages’ hooked us in and we booked on line.
