Drakens View Bush Villa

 
 

Description

Set under the Majestic Drakensburg Mountain Range in a wildlife estate, this self catering home is the ideal place for friends and families alike to get away to the African bushveld.

The house is positioned deep in the reserve and is home to a wide variety of wildlife ranging from the smallest lizard to the larger antelope. As the animals are classed non dangerous, families and friends can spend the early mornings walking through the reserve or for the more adventurous there are 7 mountain bikes available to experience the bush on the week. The rest of the day can be spent lazing at the private pool or at one of the attractions close by.

End off the day with sun downers at the bird hide watching the animals as they come to drink, followed by a bush veld braai (barbeque) at the Boma, where you can hear the African nightlife come to life.

There are several attractions in the immediate area including the Kruger National Park (Phalaborwa gate – 58Km and Orpen Gate 50KM); Blyde River Canyon, Kapama Cheetah project; Camp Jabulani offering Elephant Safari’s and over 100 Lodges offering Guide game walks and drives; @ gold Courses (Hoedspruit – 9 hole Gary Player Design and Phalaborwa – 18 Hole Hans Merensky)

266 Raptor's View (Drakens View Bush Villa) was a treat in all ways. I felt blessed having spent a weekend there. Healing, rejuvenating, relaxing and inspiring. The house felt like a home away from home, with the natural surroundings providing more than one could ask for. The design of the home also maximizes the elements of the outdoors, which is great. Clean and fresh, welcoming, generously equipped, and thoughtful touches makes this place special indeed. A few shortcomings include ... more

This was the second time we stayed in the bushvilla at Raptors View Hoedspruit. But this time we stayed a month. We spend yearly some time at Raptors but this house made our stay even more enjoyable.

We had a lot of animals on and near the deck, Nyalaas, cats, mongooses, genet, vervet monkeys, rockmonitors, a spotted bush snake etc. Even the wild dogs were very close to the house. We love t ... more

A 15 minute drive and you can meet and kiss!! Jessica the hippo. A great place to relax before beginning or continuing your visit to Kruger national park. We thoroughly loved our stay and my wife would still be ther ... more
