Just a heads up though, there is a dirt road you need to drive on before you enter the property (maybe +- 2km) as well as the drive through the property can be quite bumpy. We were in a toyota prius and managed to get through all of it without taking any damage but it is good to be prepared for it :)"

"We were well-received at UmSisi. The cottage is clean, well presented and elegantly furnished. It is adorned by beautiful garden and a picturesque view. A short drive to the Kruger Park, good eateries and a number of tourist destinations. Above all I was thrilled by their book collection, courteous staff and the cottage's ambiance. I certainly recommend UmSisi to anyone who desires to relax in a tranquil environment with unspoiled natural beauty."

"We stayed in umSisi cottage for 5 days this place is stunning with the beautiful garden and nice walking route outside the property. We appreciate the privacy very much.

Although it's a self-catering cottage, Esther came to clean and organize every morning - what a service.

Very good location to explore the beautiful surroundings of Mpumalanga and a stroll away from Numbi gate Kruger. Thanks Amanda and Paddy for your great hospitality, the 5 days was not enough.

The cottage is much better than the pictures."


"Perfect spot"

Rob & Simona Gannon

"Perfect spot close to Kruger. You can tell the owners have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. Hammocks, fresh fruit, a bottle of wine.

Owners make you feel very welcome in an unassuming manner.

The view and cottage are better than the pictures show."

"Truly 5 star! A luxury cottage with great views, all the necessary comforts for relaxing break and ideal access to Kruger Park. We had a brilliant weekend away, enjoying a really special style of personal hospitality. I suggest Umsisi cottage to anyone looking for value for money accommodation just outside Kruger.

Thanks again for a very memorable trip."
