This is our 3rd time coming to Idle and Wild. It is a very romantic spot for us. Each rondavel has it's own private feel, like the setting is just for you. Beautiful gardens, pool, and room.

Great base in the Hazyview area
We booked a honeymoon rondavel, and appreciated the extra space this gave, including kitchenette and braai/bbq facilities. The gardens make for a wonderful setting and we enjoyed relaxing at the poolside. Next to a macadamia nut farm, next door’s upmarket farm shop sold great macadamia ice creams and produce. Owners and staff were very welcoming and we have no hesitation in recommending this as a base from which to have easy access to Kruger National Park and explore the area.

Idle & Wild is a small piece of paradise. This is highlighted by the amazing service and care you receive. The location is beautiful and very relaxing. The bungaloos are amazing, including some that have a private hot tub. The rooms are very clean and very comfortable. This is a place to just go and relax and just stay there. Sadly we were there only one night, but could have stayed there a week just to relax. They make you a custom breakfast every morning. Beyond amazing.

Great location on the way to Kruger Park.
We loved our stay here after a long flight from the U.S. Martinez is a wealth of knowledge and a great host. We used the nice hot tub in the room and awoke early to a hearty breakfast. The grounds and vegetation are outstanding. Directions were very clear and worked even though we were tired and arrived in the dark. We suggest you give it a try!
