Nothing obviously wrong with the accommodation, it is very neat. There could be more outside light for the braai and braai utensils were lacking. By trimming the surrounding trees, the view(from the patio) across the valley would have been perfect. "

"We were a littel bit disepointed, because there were no aircon in the room and for that kind of money we were hoping for at leased an aircon. Maybe they must think of something like coffee & tea in the rooms aswell. We were expecting more.

Response from Operator:

Thank you for the opportunity to respond.

It is with regret that we have a review from a guest that is not totally satisfied with our establisment as we pride ourselves in offering our guests a great retreat with superb accommodation and excellent facilities on site.

All of our Rondavels and Cottage have Kitchenettes with Coffee and Tea supplied with fresh milk in bar fridge, Microwave, Kettle, Toaster, cutlery & crockery.

There is NO Unit that does not have a kitchenette.

We do not advertise aircons anywhere and all the rooms have fans as advertised and the luxury rondavels have air coolers as an extra which are not advertised.

Kind Regards

Idle & Wild"

"Our family stayed at Idle and Wild in June05 and found it to be very pleasant. The accommodations are modern, very attractive, and tastefully decorated. Each hut/house is well separated from the others in a very large, park-like setting with beautiful gardens. It is such a lovely setting that we hated to leave. We received warm, friendly service from our hosts, and very nice breakfasts. There are numerous restaurants nearby.

"Wow, i don't know where to begin. Firstly, what we discovered on our arrival at 500 per person, at this time of the year was to great for words. We booked the honeymoon suite rondavel, Number 4 bungalow. What an amazing surprise! When we realised how it was so much more spacious and premium than the pictures on the sight.

We have dirt bikes and the owner allowed to park our bikes right in front of our cottage and just as i thought it could not get better, we were told that with pleasure their resident quad expert " Mr Thenus " would take us riding in specials trail, with our own bikes.

On top of that the location is on the Sabie road, next to the regions mosy exclusive resorts, at the fraction of the price.

Thank you to the team at Idle&Wild. I will be back soon with my whole team for a unique bonding adventure week-end experience.

God Bless !"

We had booked for 2 nights in the honeymoon rondavel and our stay at Idle & Wild was just great! The property had a whirlpool bath, refrigerator and kettle. The view from the terrace onto the lake and the beautiful garden was fantastic. Kathy, the hostess was extremely friendly and helpful and when we were leaving very early in the morning, we got a great "food parcel" as a replacement for the ‘no’ breakfast. All in all an absolute recommendation, and the price is more than worth it!

It was so relaxing to sit on the front porch in the morning and evenings watching the various birds and taking in the scent of so many flowers and tree blossoms.
The location is perfect, I visited Kruger Park one day and took side trips to God's Window and the Pinnacle on the way home.
The breakfast on the veranda is also a great way to start the day.
Darrel & Christie are very friendly and can offer information to make your stay to your liking. Highly recommended, good value for your money!

"My husband, child and I spent 3 nights at Idle & Wild. On arrival we were met by our host outside in the car park with a warm smile and showed us directly to our room. We were showed around and our host was tremendously hospitable. In the morning at breakfast we were welcomed with smiles and all of our questions were answered. Breakfast was also extremely homely. The beautiful green grounds made it even more heavenly and a dream that you don’t want to end. Unfortunately, after 3 nights we had to bid our farewell and leave this heavenly paradise. We definitely recommend the Idle & Wild to anyone who wants to travel the area, as it is also central. Thanking you warmly for your hospitality and generosity."


"Great Environment"

(United States) anonymous

"Lovely surroundings, very well appointed comfortable apartment, very friendly and helpful hosts. Convenient location too many of the sights of the area."


"Treasure the Time"

(South Africa) Mrs Nel

"I have taken my elderly parents (respectively 83 and 80 years of age) for a trip to the Kruger Park and we stayed over at Idle and Wild for a night. What a stay! My parents may never again be able to visit the Lowveld and at least they were treated like a king and a queen at Idle and Wild! We will t..."

"I have taken my elderly parents (respectively 83 and 80 years of age) for a trip to the Kruger Park and we stayed over at Idle and Wild for a night. What a stay! My parents may never again be able to visit the Lowveld and at least they were treated like a king and a queen at Idle and Wild! We will treasure the memories made on the night we stayed over as well as the laughs we had during the breakfast the next morning! Thanks so much for being a part of my memory of my parents!"


"Idle and Wild"

(Great Britain) Liz Gibbs

"Idle and Wild is a wonderful place to stay. Incredibly friendly and knowledgable about the area. Peaceful setting to spend a few days. Breakfast fantastic. Excellent all round. Would certainly return."


"Quick weekend getaway"

(South Africa) Mr Diedericks

"Friendly and helpful staff.
Staff knows the area and is at hand to give guidance as far as restaurants and sightseeing is concerned.
Safe and neat accommodation that is close enough to Hazyview for all your quick shopping needs; yet far away enough to be quiet and tranquil.

"Friendly and helpful staff.
Staff knows the area and is at hand to give guidance as far as restaurants and sightseeing is concerned.
Safe and neat accommodation that is close enough to Hazyview for all your quick shopping needs; yet far away enough to be quiet and tranquil.
Accommodation and surrounding area is kept in excellent condition.
More than enough to do and keep busy with if you do not feel like going out on the road.

I would definitely recommend it to anyone wishing to take a quick break from everyday hustle and bustle."


"Aangename ervaring (pleasant experience)"

(South Africa) Ms Hattingh

"My eerste indrukke van "Idle & Wild" is blywende indrukke vandat ons die indraai gevat het tussen die neutboompies deur tot by die huis. Die tuin was lowergroen en Christie het vir ons by die voordeur gewag, met sleutel in die hand.

"My eerste indrukke van "Idle & Wild" is blywende indrukke vandat ons die indraai gevat het tussen die neutboompies deur tot by die huis. Die tuin was lowergroen en Christie het vir ons by die voordeur gewag, met sleutel in die hand.

Die "Fisheagle" kamer was ruim baie netjies met 'n goed toegeruste kombuis. Na 'n koppie koffie het ons die tuin gaan verken en dit was 'n fees om na al die groen groen plante te kyk. Met die stoele orals in die tuin kon jy gou vergeet van die lang pad wat jy afgelê het.

Idle en Wild kan beslis aanbeveel word vir enige persoon wat net rustig wil ontspan, al was ons verblyf slegs vir die nag (Ons was oppad wiltuin toe) was dit 'n aangename ervaring en daar is na elke klein detail gekyk bv. handeroom, koeldrank in yskas, badsout ens.

Ek kan u verseker ek het verlede donderdagaand ook by 'n 3 ster lodge in Sabie geslaap en het geen maar geen van die 3 ster ervaring gehad nie -

Ek glo Idle en Wild gaan nog vir jare hulle deure oophou met sulke vriendelike gasvrye bestuur.

Nogmaals baie dankie

(RoomsForAfrica Translated)
My first impression will last forever. Christie was waiting for us already with the keys.
The “Fisheagle” Room is big and clean. After a cup of coffee, we took a walk in the lovely green garden.
I would recommend Idle & Wild to anyone that wishes to relax.

I believe that Idle & Wild will go strong many more years.

Thank you again."


"Outstanding place"

(Germany) Ms Erbstoesser

"It was just one night we spent there, but with much more space than we needed. Very cosy atmosphere and an outstanding surrounding."


"More Idle than Wild"

(Great Britain) Mr Wilson

"Had a great time in Hazyview staying at Idle & Wild. A lovely peaceful garden setting from which to explore the magnificent sites the area has to offer the visitor. Very hot in early February so Air Con would have been of benefit, but this is a venue I can recommend."


"Excellent Service, Great Hosts"

Beautifuel garden, jacuzzy, nice food/breakfast (takeaway for early gamedrive).
