We stayed here on our way from Kruger park to the airport and had a great experience. The food was the BEST we tasted in SA, the hosts were very friendly and helpful. The house was spacious and very nicely arranged - at night it was a little bit too loud from the road near by. I loved the surroundings... More

We stayed at Old Joe's on our way home from a great holiday at Crystal Springs in March 2012. Marian and Paul were the perfect hosts. Friendly, helpful and Marian's cooking was fantastic. I even found a superb wine which was perfect for the meal of the evening. Thank you Paul for the good selection. From when we arrived we... More

Old Joe's is not to be missed when you are in the region and definitely worth the drive from Joberg (or further!) for a lovely getaway. We stayed in a delightfully cozy cabin with a lush, paradise view. The property is lovely and the main lodge plus its deck that overlooks Mpumalanga's natural beauty is a place to while away... More

Paul and Marian are the perfect hosts, we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. The food is AMAZING - truly the best food I have ever tasted, especially the vegetarian option. The accommodation is very comfortable and the decor wonderfully eclectic – a real home away from home. Sitting on the deck in the late afternoon, looking... More

Am always looking for good birding spots and can assure you that Old Joe's is a great birding / photographer's hot spot. Garden was in full bloom and the birds were spoilt for choice. Set up my camera early in the morning and waited for the sunbirds to come and feed, got some great photo's. Resident birds include Klaas's Cuckoo,... More

For the past 3 years, I've spent the first few days of each new year at Old Joe's Kaia. I found this to be the perfect getaway to unwind and to fill yourself up with abundant joy and energy to tackle whatever lies ahead! Everyone gets treated like royalty, from the time you make the booking until the sad moment... More

Old Joe's Kaia is a good option if you have business to do in Nelspruit and want to stay over within an acceptable distance. I stayed for a weekend with my wife and two children (6 and 9) and we enjoyed the nice garden and the adequate rooms (we were in the family unit). The lodge is situated in beautiful... More

I was looking for a stop over as we were going to Kruger Park after being in the drakensberg mountains and I was more than happy with Old Joe's. On arrival, we received a very friendly welcome and were shown to our rooms - the room was just what we needed. The lodge is located in very nice gardens and... More

Great location and very friendly welcome. The room was just what was needed after a long flight to Jo'burg and subsequent drive. The evening meal was fantastic and the main lounge was just what you would expect form a country retreat with interesting books and artefacts dotted around. Breakfast on the verandah the next morning was equally impressive, overlooking the... More
