LUXURY GUEST HOUSE - KRUGER NATIONAL PARK - MPUMALANGA

Matamba Luxury Guest House combines distinctive accommodation in Mpumalanga along with gourmet cuisine and a hideaway pastoral setting offering sweeping views over the Mpumalanga Lowveld valley. As the guest list for accommodation is limited to just sixteen people, personal service is assured.

The original Colonial Farmstead was constructed some time around the turn of the century and was renovated and revamped in 1990, when the exquisite accommodation suites were constructed, and the lodge opened in 1991. The renovations have retained the character of the era whilst ensuring that today's discriminating guests luxuriate in modern comforts, with total privacy and personal service.

From the moment you make your way down the jacaranda - lined driveway you are transported into another world. A world of unabashed luxury seldom found in these mad days of computers, compromise and cellular phones. The ideal base from which to explore all the Game Reserves and scenic wonders which abound, and for which the area is renowned.

Each of the 8 exquisitely decorated garden suites include full en suite bathroom with bath and shower, luxurious bathrobes, pure cotton sheets, goose down duvets and king-size or twin beds. Overhead fans provide an "Out of Africa" feeling, and all suites have separate sitting rooms, with open fireplaces and secluded verandas with views of the forest or valley and avocado orchards.

The two orchard suites have private saunas and swimming pools in their own secluded gardens - absolute luxury and privacy.

Mornings begin with alfresco breakfasts in the Victorian gazebo, whilst evening highlights are the sumptuous gourmet dishes, fine wines and impeccable service of the candlelit restaurant. This Luxury Guest House has been awarded the coveted Chaîne des Rôtisseurs blazon.
