The cottage at Umsisi House offers upmarket self-catering accommodation for those wanting unbeatable access to the Kruger National Park without having to stay in the park itself. The cottage is based in the grounds of Umsisi House between the towns of White River and Hazyview in Mpumalanga, offering superb access to the southern section of the world-renowned Kruger National Park via Paul Kruger Gate (40 mins away), Phabeni Gate (30 mins away) and Numbi Gate (20 mins away).
We are also within easy driving distance of the Panorama Route and all of the adventure activities available in the immediate area. Please be advised that there are dogs on the property. Check-in is from 3pm to 6pm. Late check-ins must be arranged in advance and may be subject to a surcharge.
The cottage is exceptionally private with its own entrance, covered veranda with exceptional views, DSTV with family package, free Wi-Fi, functional kitchen, braai (BBQ) and parking. It offers 2 bedrooms sharing a bathroom with double shower. Accommodation options include a double room and a twin room with two singles or a double room and a king room. The double room is our primary bedroom. Please notify us in advance as to what your requirements are. There is also a travel cot available upon request as well as a high chair.
In this time of load shedding / rotational blackouts, we want our guests to know that we have done everything possible to keep the power on! The cottage has a gas oven, hob and kettle, a Webber braai, gas geysers for hot water and a battery backup / inverter system that easily sees us through Stage 4 load shedding with lighting, WiFi, DSTV and all plugs operational if used wisely.
Umsisi is set in 60 hectares of pristine bush within the Jock of the Bushveld Conservancy. This exquisite location offers guests panoramic views of their immediate surroundings. To the south is Legogote Mountain (an imposing granite monolith known locally as the "Sentinel of the Lowveld") while to the west beautiful rock gardens lead to 10 kilometres of walking trails in the mountains behind. There are no restaurant facilities at umSisi Cottage, but there are a number of restaurant options at the Casterbridge Lifestyle Centre and Bagdad Centre on the way into White River (just 15 minutes away).
The northerly view encompasses rolling farmland while the view to the east couldn’t be more different and guests at Umsisi will be enchanted by scenes of an African village slowly creeping down the valley. This is Masoyi.
At Umsisi, we are privileged to offer a destination that truly embraces the essence of Africa – its people, its wild places and its wild life.
