Hoedspruit Delight
Actually had 6 days here and what a pleasure. Great facilities, hosts & staff with lots of wildlife activities close by and on the doorstep. If you are thinking about staying in a wildlife estate and looking at Wild Dog Inn just do it, I don't think you will be disappointed. The main complex and cottages are very good.

Dear Henro, I really had an amazing time at your lodge. It was beautiful and very quiet which helped me to completely relax. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful and the unit was always kept clean and tidy. I will definitely recommend your lodge and will return hopefully very soon.

Overall rating 5 out of 5
We have been looking for a comfortable, yet reasonably-priced place to stay on our frequent visits to Hoedspruit, and Henro’s cottage will definitely be our primary choice for future trips to the area. Of paramount importance to us is cleanliness, and to find that for instance, the sofas have a removable washable blanket on them was a delight (the hygiene of upholstery is an oft-overlooked point in most lodges),...

Vicky was a great Hostess. I loved everything, from the moment we confirmed our booking Vicky and Henro immediately started communicating with us regarding our stay, access codes and directions were shared way ahead of our arrival date/time. Vicky welcomed us as we entered, showed us around the cottage and how everything works. Cottage was clean and the view and quietness was exactly what we needed to recharge. Cottage...

Great stay and experience at Wild Dog!
We stayed 5 days, family of 6 persons. We had a great stay. The hosts were really helpful with all kinds of information for visiting Hoedspruit and Kruger. Very nice houses and very clean, with great breakfast. When visiting Kruger very early they made a delicious breakfast to go. The accommodation is in the middle of a wild life property. Giraffe, pumbaa, impala, kudu, zebra and even a leopard... Read this review

We LOVED it
We loved staying in Henry's villa! It is so peaceful and quiet, yet there is so much to do. You can go walking, cycling or birding in the reserve, which is beautiful and so special with the giraffe, zebra and bucks running around. It honestly is worth it! It was a bonus to be able to go to the Wild Dog Lodge for a drink and a bot of... Read this review

Fantastic stay!
Beautiful villa to stay. Nicely decorated, spacious rooms. Wildlife watching from the pool. It's a shame to only stay one night. In addition, there is a supermarket and restaurants nearby.
