We spent 6 nights at Kurhula Lodge over Easter and cannot recommend it highly enough! We arrived just as dusk was falling after a five hour drive from Johannesburg and were met by a lion on the road just a minute away from the lodge - what a start to our visit! The welcome we received from Kim and Sander... More

Very nice lodge at the riverfront. Kim and Sander go all the way to make your stay pleasant: either Kim uses her new kitchen or they use the braai outside to prepare the food! Excellent rooms with a nice bathroom. Location is beautiful (in the Kruger NP), too bad the road from the main road to the lodge is in... More

This was our second stay at the Kurhula Lodge and this place is stunning. Kurhula is located in the Parsons Nature Reserve, part of the Greater Kruger National Park, away from everything, with beautiful scenery over the Olifants River. And when I say away from everything, I mean away! From the main road between Hoedspruit and Phalaborwa to the lodge... More

We spent 6 days with Sander & Kim, and Sander's friend Lars, in March 2012. The lodge has a lovely location, right on the river and is visited by a huge variety of birds and other wild life. With no fences the wildlife can and do walk right in! Whilst there we shared the garden with Wart Hogs, Monkeys and... More

We stayed with Kim and Sander for 6 days januari 2012 with friends from Johannesburg and have nothing to complain about. The rooms where perfect with good beds and sanitair. But we only came there to sleep and for a shower. You live outside. We did a walk and a drive with ranger Keith and his assistent Nelson. He told... More

Kurhula lodge is a wonderfully situated lodge in the greater Krugar, right on the edge of the Olifants river. We had the most relaxing time! It was wonderful to fall asleep to the sound of the flowing river. The rooms are so lovely and comfortable. The food is absolutely delicious! Kim and Sander, the owners of the lodge are wonderful,...

Kurhula Lodge is amazing. The owners are extremely knowledgable, accommodating, kind and friendly!~ The rooms are beautiful, and the food is delicious! I would absolutely recommend this lodge to everyone! You have to go on a game drive, or several while you are there. I had a wonderful experience here and would definitely go back! Highly recommended!!

What can I write about Kurhula that hasn't been said yet? Kurhula is everything you wish for and more. Sander & Kim's great hospitality, the rooms, the view, the animals that just cross in front of you while you are swimming in the pool: it is truly amazing. Don't let the bumpy road hold you back, even with the average... More
