“Accomodation was ok, lodge superb and food amazing!”

Reviewed 8 May 2013

the rondavel was nice, neither great not bad, but the lodge itself is lovely with a very nice balcony, pool and maze...and the food (breakfast and dinner) was absolutely amazing! One of the best kitchen I've tasked in South Africa.

“Fantastic hidden Gem”

Reviewed 5 May 2013 via mobile

Had a fantastic stopover on our way to Kruger. The family room was very comfortable, each with own bathroom. Hosts Marian and Paul made us feel at home, looking after our every need. The setting in the valley is so calming and relaxing. To top it all off, the food was really special - fine dining and best breakfast in... More

“Very pleasant stay”

Reviewed 21 April 2013

We have still very much enjoyed the stay in the scenic Nelspruit-landscape, dinner/breakfast were delicious. Dining room and balcony are very nice. N4 (national street) is approx. 200 meters away, (invisible behind trees), but this was a bit noisy (trucks). All in all very nice stay.

“Wedding review”

Reviewed 15 April 2013

Old Joe’s Kaia hosted our wedding weekend. Our party of approximately 40 guests were accommodated at Old Joes and two neighbouring venues in the Schoemanskloef valley. We could not have asked for a more intimate, personal and magical wedding experience. Marian from Old Joes is quite simply a creative genius and master of all trades. We chose to have an... More

THis is a little place of heaven on earth, you take a sharp turn from the Schoeman's Kloof pass road and drive along a stoney road to an adequae undercovered parking area. From there you take quite a few steps down to a recpetion area, from where you are greeted like family by either Marion or Paul or both! Then,... More

Old Joe's is the perfect place to stop off en route to the Kruger Park. The Lodge is quirky and delightful, full of books, greenery and music. The deck where breakfast is served is set in the treetops with wonderful birds everywhere. Paul is extremely knowledgeable about birds and wine - two of our great interests!
