Chestnut Country Lodge lies in the centre of all the major attractions Mpumalanga has to offer: God’s Window, Pilgrim’s Rest, Bylde River Canyon, Three Rondawels, Bourkes Luck Potholes, the Kruger Park and of course the magnificent Sabie River Valley.

The area is as historically rich as it is naturally beautiful, and Chestnut Country Lodge is the ideal place to begin your exploration. Situated in the farming district of Kiepersol, just 10 km from the town of Hazyview, there is plenty to see and do for everyone. Whether you are looking for an adventure holiday or a reminder of how magnificent nature is, this is the place to start.

The lodge itself is set on 50 ha of untouched indigenous bush land. It is home to a huge variety of bird species, which can be viewed from the comfort of the pool deck, surrounding the large sparkling swimming pool. From here the views across the valley are unparalleled.

For the more active guests there are walks within the property to Leopard Rock, a view point that looks over the Sabie Valley towards Hazyview. There is a comfortable bar for our guests to relax in and wind down after a day’s adventuring.

Dining

Chestnut Country Lodge offers a delicious continental breakfast, as well as a full English breakfast for all guests.

In the evenings we offer a 3 course table d’hote meal, prepared with only the best local produce, including game meats and fish.

Should guests wish to dine out, we can recommend several local, excellent restaurants within a 10 kms radius of the Lodge.

Providing there is availability, we will welcome outside dining guests to enjoy our warm and friendly hospitality.
