Overview
Chestnut Country Lodge offers friendly service and superior lodging you can afford. Each of the 12 rooms or suites are individually and comfortably furnished with en-suite bathrooms and patios with magnificent views.
Chestnut Country Lodge offers an excellent and highly recommended 3 course table d'hote meal each evening. We place a high emphasis on freshness of local meats, fish, poultry and fresh produce. Game meats are occasionally offered when available. Most of our dishes are home-made, for example, breads, soups, other starters, main courses and desserts. Most of the year we are able to source herbs and produce from our own vegetable garden. If you have a special dietary requirement, ie: vegetarian, we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
The Lodge is situated 12 kms outside Hazyview in Mpumalanga and is ideally situated for visitors to this magnificent area as well as to the Southern regions of the Kruger National Park entering through the gates of either Paul Kruger Gate, Phabeni Gate or the Numbi Gate.
You may self-drive in the Kruger National Park or you might like us to arrange an open safari vehicle game drive for you. Dawn Safaris, Full-Day Safaris and Afternoon Safaris can be arranged. Your qualified field guide will collect you from the Lodge at an appointed pick-up time and return you to the Lodge at the end of your safari. Booking is essential and minimum numbers of 2 or more are required to secure a booking. If you have a special request, ie, you might be a keen bird-watcher, we can arrange a specialist birding guide to take you on a birding Safari into the Kruger or just perhaps a couple of hour walk within our immediate area. If you wish to extend your stay in the area, overnight trips into the Kruger or neighbouring Game Lodges at various price ranges, can also be recommended.
The Panorama Route is famous in the Lowveld for the scenic attractions of the Blyde River Canyon which boasts as the 3rd largest canyon in the world and the greenest canyon in the world. The Canyon includes views from the magnificent 3 Rondawels, Lowveld View site and Bourkes Luck Potholes. Walk through the rain forest and find yourself in awe of the view at God's Window, Wonder View and The Pinnacle . Closer to the town of Graskop you may visit the Berlin or Lisbon Falls where there are informal traders selling local arts and crafts. A visit to the historic mining town of Pilgrims Rest offers the visitor a chance to experience a gone-by era of gold mining days.
Back in the quaint town of Graskop, a light lunch at one of the many eateries is available with emphasis on the local speciality of pancakes at the famous Harries Pancakes. A variety of shops selling arts, crafts, curios and beautiful silk products are easy to access by walking along the few streets in the town. The Delagoa Gallery has an abundance of quality curios as well as some interesting original African artefacts for collectors.
Near to the town of Sabie are the magnificent water falls of Bridal Veil, Lone Creek and Horse-shoe Falls.
Not only do we have the most magnificent scenery to enjoy, the Hazyview area in particular is home to some of the most thrilling adventure activities. From a thrilling adventure of Abseiling to Ziplining or a gentle adventure in a Hot Air Balloon, we have it all. Perhaps a soothing and relaxing day at the Summerfields Day Spa is what you are after. Whatever it is, it's available close by.
