Очень понравился дом. Две просторные спальни с отдельными ванной и туалетом. Рядом с домом есть место для костра, там можно пожарить мясо или просто посидеть вечерком, выпить вина, восхититься звездным небом. Хозяйка Софи очень гостеприимная,...

Nestled deep within the African bush of Limpopo Province, Murchison View Farm provides a serene escape where nature meets comfort. Each cottage offers a private veranda, inviting you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the abundant birdlife. Open your bedroom doors to immerse yourself in the peaceful bush surroundings, allowing you to read a book in bed while taking in the stunning views. Evenings at Murchison View are magical. Gather in the rustic boma for a traditional braai (BBQ) as the sun sets and the sounds of the bush begin to fill the air. Listen as the day winds down, and if you are lucky you might hear the roar of nearby lions or the haunting hoot of spotted hyenas echoing in the distance, offering a true African experience. Whether you choose to unwind on your veranda, go for a game drive or around the fire, every moment here is a chance to connect with the wilderness and enjoy the simple pleasures of nature. The cottages, set within a secure fenced yard surrounded by giraffes, zebras, buffalo, and abundant birdlife, provide a perfect retreat. Guests can pre-book unique activities, including ‘bush bumble’ game drives, kids activities, sundowner tours, and scenic picnics or simply read a book or enjoy the bird life from your veranda looking out into the bush. If you prefer to venture out for the day, the cottages are ideally situated for trips to Kruger National Park, Blyde River Canyon, ancient baobab trees, wildlife rehabilitation centres, and local arts and crafts. You host can assist with planning an interesting itinerary and bookings before you arrive if needed. The accommodation is fully powered by solar and water supplied by borehole water, so no electrical interruptions from load shedding or water restrictions. Whether you are looking for a couple of night stay as a stop off on the way to Kruger national park or an extended holiday, it’s an adventure and relaxation haven for families and nature lovers alike.
Welcome to Murchison View Farm! I aM thrilled to share this special piece of the African bush with you. As your host, I love helping guests connect with nature and experience the beauty and tranquility of farm life. Hosting is a joy because it allows me to meet people from all walks of life while sharing our passion for wildlife, conservation, and the African landscape and to introduce them to our way life. When I am not hosting, I enjoy exploring nature and spending time with our animals. I am a full time, award winning textile artist taking inspiration from nature that surrounds me. We look forward to making your stay unforgettable!
