Everything was exceptional and the breakfast was delicious felt very welcomed

Hazyview and surrounding towns are not in a great condition. We left the Kruger National Park earlier than 18:00 when the gates closed to ensure we arrive at the guesthouse before it is completely dark. I also suggest not leaving the park through Numbi gate - there are no road markings and unpainted speed bumps in a 60 km/h zone. Rather plan your trip to leave the Kruger Park through Phabeni gate.

Philip and Margi were great hosts and assisted us to plan our day. They are most helpful and knows the area very well. We followed their recommendation to go to the Graskop Gorge Lift and was not disappointed. Breakfast was also perfect. The guesthouse also had back-up water supply when the water supply was out in town.

Had a great stay at Blue Jay Lodge, a little oasis in the Hazyview area. Phil and Margi are such lovely, warm, and welcoming hosts. The room was spotless and super comfortable. The gardens are beautiful, perfect for relaxing with a drink and enjoying a BBQ in the evening. Breakfast on the deck was nice, and they were happy to arrange a packed breakfast for our day trips too. Highly recommend!

Great stay in Hazyview, close to restaurants, quiet and the owners were extremely nice and helpful in planning our safari and our activities in Kruger! We also had a great massage in our room 😍

The hosts Phil and Margi were very friendly and welcoming. We can't speak highly enough of them, gave us lots of help and advice to ensure we got the best out of our experience in Hazyview. The room was great and the breakfast, very kindly cooked personally by Phil, was delicious! 😋Not forgetting Margi preparing a packed lunch for our early morning trip into the Kruger park. Thank you both very much 🙂

All was above expectation.

We were greeted by the hosts Phil and Margi, which are super super friendly and nice. The suite we were staying in (the sunbird suite, named after the painting by a Cape Town artist) was amazing, very spacious, and clean and nothing we would have missed. Phil and Margi gave good recommendations for us to use our free time perfectly in and around Hazyview. As we were the only guests for breakfast on our first morning, we were treated especially nicely with a perfect breakfast. Additionally the game drive we did was organized through Phil and Margi which was a no brainer. We would definitely come back again! Thank you!

Stunning place with romantic 4 poster bed and a large bath. Phil and Margi are just lovely, inviting us for drinks in the evening and made the most delicious spread of breakfast every morning. We would love to go back again and would highly recommend it to anyone going to kruger

Home away from home! Margi and Phil are lovely people. They always made sure we were happy and had everything we needed. They love to share stories and experiences, you can definitly follow their recommendations for activities and restaurants. Would recommend Blue Jay Lodge!

We cannot fault anything about the property and during our stay there, we saw the biggest ever snail that we have EVER seen!! A good 6 inches long. (Photo attached)

It was central to all that we wanted to do and close to the shops and restaurants as well.

Phil and Margi were wonderful hosts and welcomed us when we arrived. The room we stayed in (Paradise) was so large and beautiful in the African style, and everything was clean! Working aircon which was essential in the summer heat (35-39 deg celsius when we stayed). Thoughtful touches included a set of earplugs in the room, umbrellas and an emergency light. Good advice from Phil and Margi regarding local activities. Breakfast was exceptional! It was such a lovely stay.

No microwave in the room considering they do not have a diner on the premises. We managed to warm our food in the main kitchen though with no issues. No smart TV as well which has become standard with most 4 star establishments.

The bathroom is also very spacious and enjoyable. The bed, mosquito net, bath robes and the atmosphere was amazing. The hosts were lovely. Made us feel at home. I needed crutches as my ankle was painful and they gave me a pair to use for the whole duration of our stay. Each room has 2 umbrellas even. Which was awesome. The breakfast was fresh and well prepared.

The parking lot is a bit of a challenge

Phil and Margie were fantastic hosts/owners! A personal conversation over a drink was a lovely way to start. The accommodation met all our expectations.
