Caracal Lodge  

Tucked into the grassy mountains of Schoemanskloof near Mbombela, Caracal Lodge sits on a 300‑acre game‑fenced farm in Houtboschoek on the N4. About 11.1 miles from Montrose Falls and 20.1 miles from Sudwala Caves, with Kruger Mpumalanga Intl roughly 71 km away. A family‑friendly, pet‑friendly self‑catering cottage set in true Mpumalanga wilderness.

Five guestrooms feature kitchens and mini‑bars for easy self‑catering. The vibe is rustic lodge‑meets‑cottage with terraces and garden views. Expect wide open views across grasslands where Mountain Reedbuck, Grey Reedbuck, Oribi and Bushbuck roam.

Outdoor pool, bar/lounge and barbecue grills, plus a fitness area and table tennis. Children have a playroom. A tour desk and transfer services are available. Wake to bush sounds and stretch out across the game‑fenced wilderness.

Laundry and dry‑cleaning services are available onsite. Free self‑parking for guests.

Rooms have kitchens for self‑catering and in‑room mini‑bars. Wrap up evenings at the on‑site bar/lounge or cook on the communal BBQ for laid‑back, country meals.
