LittleBush Private Lodge

At LittleBush Private Lodge, tucked at the foot of the Drakensberg in Hoedspruit and set on a dam, you’re minutes from Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre and a short drive to Blyde River Canyon, the Panorama Route and nearby Kruger National Park gates. The lodge is a scenic base for canyon drives, boat trips on Blyde Dam and wildlife outings.

Three individually designed thatched chalets (Woodland Kingfisher, Giant Kingfisher and Pied Kingfisher) each feature fully equipped kitchens, private decks with BBQs and luxurious bathrooms with deep soaking tubs. Rooms open onto garden or dam views and the property sits on three hectares of indigenous bush with abundant birdlife.

Outdoor pool, garden and terrace for lazy afternoons. Picnic and barbecue areas, a massage room and a kids' playroom keep groups entertained. Tour/ticket assistance and an always-full dam invite birdwatching and easy day trips—wake up to dam-side mornings and relax on your private deck.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property. Luggage storage, laundry and dry cleaning, a safe-deposit box and concierge services. Free self-parking onsite and a roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

On-site restaurant and bar focused on regional Lowveld flavors. English breakfast is served daily from 8:30–10:00 for a fee. Staff can also recommend local restaurants and book scenic picnic or boat-trip dining experiences on Blyde Dam.
