Laughing Waters Guest House  

Tucked onto the Panorama Route just outside Hazyview, Laughing Waters Guest House sits about 15 km from Kruger National Park (Numbi Gate) and close to Hazyview Elephant Sanctuary and Elephant Whispers. Reachable via the R536, it’s set among lemon orchards and the Sabie River in the heart of the Lowveld.

Think Spanish-flair architecture—high arches, slate floors and a central landscaped courtyard that feeds into sub-tropical gardens and immaculate lawns. Rooms are warm and simply styled with en-suite bathrooms, tea/coffee stations and complimentary Wi‑Fi, while the property offers an indoor dining room and an outdoor patio to soak up those Lowveld mornings.

A large outdoor swimming pool and a 24-hour fitness centre keep you moving. There’s a library, barbecue area and two bars/lounges plus an honesty bar in the communal lounge. On-site perks include secure parking, car wash, laundry services, concierge and arranged tours, transfers and packed lunches for Kruger or Panorama outings. Wake up to abundant birdlife and the calls of fish eagles in the trees.

Complimentary wireless internet in all rooms keeps you connected. The guest house also provides luggage storage, dry cleaning/laundry and concierge/transfer arrangements for guests on the move.

Start with a complimentary English breakfast each morning. Hearty farmhouse 3‑course dinners can be arranged by prior booking, and casual outdoor patio dining highlights Lowveld mornings and local flavours, with drinks served at the on-site bars.
