The unit itself was clean & functional. What I disliked was I booked a unit with private pool & paid extra yet was unable to utilise the pool as it was very dirty with tissues & debris. The water & surface was also not clean. I did let them know & have followed up with a request for a refund of the extra I paid but no response over one week later…..

Our first choice when in Hoedspruit
Our companies use Raptors Lodge very often, the 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom units are great and it is a very affordable option for us. I can highly reccommend Raptors Lodge. Rooms are absolutely fabulous

The place was beautiful and clean, situated very close to the Kruger National Park which was very convenient for us. We loved everything about our however, the the electricity went off when we tried using the stove and it took over 2 hours to get assistance which was the only downside to the stay.

Our Company's number 1 choice
We use Raptors Lodge all the time for our business trips. We also recommend them or book Raptors when we have international guests. Units with 2 rooms and 2 bathrooms are always a bonus and fits our budget. Clean, beautiful rooms with everything you need.

I expected a hotel type room for 4 adults but on arrival I was surprised that we in fact had a two bedroom house. It was a well maintained property with a well stocked kitchen and good wifi. I wish we could have stayed longer.
