Loved it- would stay again

Pros: Great location, wildlife on your doorstep Really nice hosts and staff

Cons: Would like a bathroom door

Would book again

Pros: We booked this as a sleepover from a long flight before heading onto safari. Thanks to the owners, we visited the local Xmas fair and had a lovely meal (normally be a 5-10 min taxi to town and back). There are 50 eateries to choose from locally plus some really lovely local shops to buy gifts. The accommodation is quiet and comfortable in the middle of nowhere with wildlife passing. We slept SO well. Breakfast was lovely. I would book it again. There are multiple trips from Hoedspruit itself, i.e., safari, balloon flights, etc, so staying here longer should certainly be a consideration.

Cons: Nothing!

An enjoyable experience, we can’t wait to come back and would definitely recommend.

Pros: The whole experience was amazing. Sue & Deon were so welcoming and informative. The breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented. The room was spacious and private with an outside view. We had warthogs and kudu right in front of our bedroom. The wildlife was a great surprise and a joy to watch whilst eating. The sound of the birds and the freedom to go for a walk was amazing.

Peaceful and beautiful place

Pros: It’s inside an Estate which has animals roaming around. You’re allowed to do a game drive or a walk. It’s a pity we only stayed for just one night. It’s an amazing place, so peaceful and beautiful at the same time.

Cons: Nothing.

Absolutely wonderful and more.

Pros: Call of the Wild was absolutely beautiful to stay at. It felt like a home away from home. Hosts Deon and Sue were so welcoming and helpful. The staff was efficient and friendly. The rooms are beautifully appointed with a lovely deck to sit on and watch the local wildlife go past. I would return to stay there in a heartbeat..

Cons: The fact that I had to leave 😉
