Hornbills Rest and Cottage Lenise are set in the heart of the real African Bushveld. Both homes are well appointed, stylish and comfortable, with the emphasis being on relaxation with most comforts.
We as hosts and the cleaning staff are super exited to see the guests beaming smiles and hearing their compliments when they enter the establishments. Our MOTTO is to provide guests firstly with exceptional comfort from seating to sleeping with quality beds and linens and the cleanest space possible. We always give good advice ito the best routes to drive around in the area, especially Kruger National Park
The property measures 23ha and it is pristine Bushveld with abundant birdlife, antelope, wharthogs and the occasional Leopard that passes through. The neighbourhood is peacefull and quiet
