This place is better than the pictures with top quality finishes and a lovely pool and braai area. It is well equipped and was spotlessly clean. We only overnighted but wish we could spend longer to properly relax into the place. Thanks for having us, Dave.

Spacious and luxurious. Awesome service by the hosts with immediate responses. Will want to stay again at this jewel in Phalaborwa. We'll done!

one word, superb
Everything was above expectation

Quiet, beautiful and easy access to Phalaborwa attractions.
From the clear directions, easy check in and sightings of bucks. We had such a great time at cottage Lenise. The place is beautiful, clean, well stocked with all self catering necessities and the splash pool was a bonus on those hot days. David the owner was so kind, he assisted us with a puncture the one morning and ensured that all was in place. The gravel road is just shy of 7km from the town's main road and it wasnt bad for our small car, just felt long cause you cant go above 50km/h. The tv had netflix and youtube. All in all we enjoyed our stay. Thank you David.
Nothing hey. David ensured that all was catered for

The peace and quiet in a very neat and comfortable lodge.

Very interesting Place. Warmful and peaceful. A lot of space for a family also Safe and confortable in an unique Natural place. You can feel alone in the world

The accommodation is clean, everything you need is available. It’s private and we have really enjoyed our stay. The hosts are fantastic. The sunsets are amazing here.We will definitely come back again. Our kids enjoyed every moment.

one of the best bnb's we have ever stayed in !!

Wonderful place to spend the last few days of a magical holiday. The pool and braai area was amazing and the cottage had everything you could possibly need. The owner was very welcoming as was Sam the houseman. Highly recommended

House perfectly equipped and clean. We spent two nights with family and were able to enjoy the BBQ and pool. The house is isolated and quiet. The owner was very helpful with directions and available if needed. Housing at the top, we would have liked to stay longer.
The pool overflows a little on the terrace 😅...splash effect and slippery

Spacious cottage, good WIFI, very well equiped kitichen, comfortable sitting area with TV, spacious bedroom with ample space for luggage, large bathroom with huge shower. All very clean. Large covered terrace ouside, private splash pool, deck and braai area. Battery operated lamps were provided for times of loadshedding. David is the perfect host who went the extra mile when we got stuck with car troubles. Next time we'll definitely stay longer and will use this perfect and peaceful cottage as a base to explore the Kruger national park and the area. Thank you David, you'll see us again!

Our whole stay was wonderful, beautiful accommodation and most importantly the wonderful owner, who took care of us during the entire stay, showed us a beautiful restaurant where he cooks excellently, sat with us over a drink, drove around his large property at night, helped us plan our next trip, you simply can't fault this accommodation 🥰 David, many thanks for everything 😃🙋
Nothing, everything is great 👍

Beautiful Cottage
The cottage is beautiful, clean, comfortable and well equipped. The braai and pool area are great and the whole ambience of the place is relaxing. David is meticulous with his directions and cares so much about your enjoyment, at the place which means so much to him. All round a very enjoyable stay and would stop again in a heartbeat.
Not the owners fault, in fact David went out of his way to help, but the access roads are difficult to negotiate without a 'sturdy car'

Pragtige, skoon, gemaklike cottage vir oornag net buite Krugerwildtuin. Helder skoon swembad met groot buitebraai (want ons ongelukkig nie kon gebruik a.g.v. laat somer reën). Sal beslis 'n lafenis in die hitte van die somer wees. Cottage self is groot, ruim en 100% ingerig vir selforgverblyf. Met ons besoek, in die reën, was die enigste effens negatief die +- 10 km grondpad wat redelik erg verspoel was met gate en sinkplaat, maar dit is te verstane en nie die fout van die eienaars nie. Mense moet maar net bewus wees van die grondpad. Ons is van Kaapstad en as ons weer die Phaloborwa hek gebruik sal ons definitief weer van Cottage Lenise gebruik maak!

The house and garden were amazing. It was awesome sitting on the stoep drinking tea while watching the loeries. The kitchen had all possible appliances. The bedding was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Gaining entrance to the house was super easy.

We needed a European plug converter for the laptop for example and he arranged it instantly. Everything that is needed is available and we loved the incense that made us sleep very well. Beautiful fire and BBQ or braai as the South-Africans say.
