  • Description
  • Facilities
Hawkshead Guest Farm offers thatched rondavels at budget prices. Situated just off the N4 Highway and 15 km west of Nelspruit, this is a convenient and tranquil base from which to explore the many attractions of the Lowveld.

A dip in the swimming pool provides a refreshing end to a hard day's sightseeing, followed by a braai next to your rondavel. Breakfast is available at the main house and dinners can be arranged. We also provide facilities for self-catering if required.

The scenic beauty of the Panorama Route and the excitement of the Kruger National Park are all within an hour's drive. There are also many attractions closer to home, including the Sudwala Caves and some outstanding golf courses. Amenities at Hawkshead include a petting farm with various small animals for the children to enjoy. Because of its setting amongst rocky outcrops and indigenous vegetation, there is an abundance of bird life.

Hawkshead Guest Farm offers special rates for groups and long-term guests. We will happily accommodate trailers, boats and motorbikes as space is not a problem. We look forward to welcoming you.

A disappointing stay. Not up to the 3 star rating. Roof leaks so much so that the mattress and bedding had to be changed after returning from an outing, following some rain. Inspected the Rondawel next door, to consider moving across, leaking as bad. Staff state all Rondawels have leaking roofs. Termites in walls. Fridges do not function optimally, even after swopping from another Rondawel. Owner states she can not maintain the place,due to financial constraints.

The only complaint I have is how short the weekend was and still so much to do, see and visit. I had one of my best weekends ever. My family enjoyed the care free weekend and it’s worth another longer visit.

Very peaceful, farm atmosphere. We loved the dogs, horses, pig and little goats. Val was very friendly and when we booked in we still owed her money and she said we can worry about that later because we were tired. That was nice to just go straight to our bungalow and chill.

Good location just outside Nelspruit, and accomodation that also suits well for groups (we were 11 people).
