The best hotels South Africa

A hotel, so far away, in the centre of a bush village summarising a grocery store and a drink rate for farm workers. Dare! See this porch framed by two phoénix, these lounges watched by wild trophies, this welcome swimming pool in the park. Our last visit came to confirm what we thought: Hunter's of Vosloo is a hunter's secret, a gently nerdy hermitage and nickel, a light in the dark. We are therefore pleased to give you this address that is not included in any South African publication.

Two camps are available on this reserve of 2 500 ha populated with antelopes, zebras and rhino in the heart of Soutpansberg Mountain. You will choose Hamasha for its isolation, at the end of the track facing a splendid rocky gorge (four bedrooms, living room, self catering). We recommend that you opt for the Portimão Village and its new-age decoration revisited by the South African artist Noria Mabasa who has also designed a set of luxurious huts linked between them by a network of yard. The esthètes will want to take their toilet in the délicieuse bathtub with panoramic view. Suites Mwedzi and Duvha for even more tranquility. Game drive, hiking, restaurant.

A dozen kilometres from Tzaneen, with swimming pool and park. Do you need to be prevented? You will have the breath cut by discovering the panorama. Trees several hundred years old stand in the middle of an immense park, with its water parts, flowers and secret benches. In clear weather, if the light is of the party, you will see here one of the most beautiful architectural and tree-tree compositions in the country. If you stay for several days, you can take a meal at Coach House, right next door. The kitchen is more sophisticated, but the view is not the same. Possibility to visit the splendid park for a few rands.

On the banks of the Crocodile River, just minutes from the Malelane entrance of the Kruger Park, better than comfort, luxury. We liked the double rooms, with their window doors opening on the lawn and then on the bush. A beautiful hotel that suffers from the sometimes invasive presence of safari groups.

Cybèle, a goddess sung by Nerval, would certainly appreciate the hotel that bears its name. This is the finest, most exquisite, most gentle and warmest step. This former hunting relay surrounded by forests and coffee plantations is a small, calm and dry paradise where hospitality sounds right. This is the brand of Relais & Châteaux. Arriving around 13 am, you will be able to take a horse ride before you go to the beach by the gleaming. When the sun disappears behind the high tops, you will dress for dinner, a true candlelight ceremonial. To sleep, you can choose between studios, cottages with fireplace, suites with fireplace and private swimming pool, the Paddock Suites with two bathrooms, an outdoor shower, a living room and a private swimming pool, and Number Fourteen, a real villa with its terrace, its heated swimming pool and its private sauna.

Ideal and not expensive to get off the road. Several restaurants are right next door.

A large, Decor building cooling for the rest of entrepreneurs and tourists looking for what they already know, a Holiday Inn! Grillhouse on site, swimming pool.

Accor Group's success for a carefree night, up to three people in the room.

Known economic formula, convenient situation to catch a bus. Nothing to dream but you can sleep at three for a single rate. We need to be three.

At the junction of the road flown towards Golela and the Swazi border on the N 2, a farm alanguie behind its lawns. Pleasant rooms, some opening onto the garden. Self catering option practical and more economical. Very nice situation.

A beautiful set of rooms in pavilions arranged in the park. A swimming pool to refresh after the battle trail, a restaurant to get off.

Madame is of huguenote origin, Mr had an ancestor Prime Minister in Cape Town, their residence is a nice copy of the Domaine La Grande Provence de Franschhoek. The whole, property and owners, has great allure and the elegance of speaking our language! The cottages accessible to guests, located next to the historic house, are all more charming than others. There are staircases, recoins, books that have been read and amazing paintings. A happiness without excès, the comfort of living simply. Evening dinners in the evening, with the possibility of tasting the Cape's great vintages following the teachings of a graduate expert. Large park to start in a morning jogging. Explain the way to find the address of the casino and shopping centres.

A lake, a swimming pool, a huge shopping centre at the door, the stadium for a Bok. Good situation 30 minutes from Sandton, if you don't want to enter Pretoria. A reader informs us that the house makes cuts on weekends.
