About this property
Villa Ekhaya: Stunning 10 person villa in South Africa
Villa Ekhaya, the largest villa we have to offer! This beautiful 10-person villa is located in one of the most beautiful nature reserves in South Africa, where real nature literally extends to the front door. The villa is part of Zandspruit Estate, a completely secure area. The villa is unique in its kind. It offers a private heated swimming pool, five spacious bedrooms – four bathrooms, three of which have outdoor showers where you can literally shower among all the beauty that South African nature has to offer.
All rooms in the house are equipped with a unique light, extra high windows, sliding doors and terraces so that the “wildlife feeling” can be experienced continuously. The spacious covered patio around the swimming pool with sun beds provides the necessary rest and relaxation. Here you can enjoy the setting sun and the animals that walk close to the terrace. However, privacy is also guaranteed, since the villa is in a real corner of the domain and no direct contact can be made with the villa.
Because of its spacious layout, this villa is suitable for 10 people. It is equipped with every comfort, both in the kitchen and in the various bathrooms. In addition, the necessary coziness is also present, such as the large fireplace that is still in the living room inside, a fire place on the 4-meter-high river deck situated in a tree, and a lower terrace on the river bed with a view of the mountains. BBQ of course available.

Excellent facilities & fantastic activities in Hoedspruit. Spacious bedrooms & excellent swimming pool and Braai area plus good location next to the drinking holes for all local animals, we had the most fantastic times this Xmas
Extra fridges/freezers for groceries please.

Some furnitures to change
The size, the living space
The bedroom miss to furniture more elegant, miss cushions and more tissue
The furniture for clothes is IKEA not very nice for this style of house
And the lounge chairs in the swimming pool is really horrible!
Needs a carpet in the bedroom too

Prachtige woning geschikt voor 10 personen.
Ruimte van woning was goed prachtige ligging. Contact met de Hoste was super ze boekte alles keurig voor ons korte lijntjes.
geef aan dat er een septie tank is. de lucht van het riool/septie tank was soms vreselijk. Tevens waren er muizen in het huis gedeelte vanaf de voordeur rechts.
