This place is INCREDIBLE. The hosts are the nicest people. The views are even nicer than the photos make it look, and the same with the actual place There's a huge open area in the main house and two decks. Then the rooms also have incredible views. We had dinner each night and breakfast each day and all the meals were great and very filling! Would highly recommend coming out here and seeing Blyde River Canyon and enjoying this incredible home.
We had a great stay at the umVangati House. We were very well welcomed and amazed by the location and view from the house. Everything is organised to make sure you'll have an enjoyable stay. We will definitely come back.
We chose to have diner at the house and would definitely recommend it, food was great!
I’m truly lost for words to describe how beautiful this place is. It’s like a stunning Bel Air Mansion where, instead of Hollywood neighbours, you’re more likely to see a troop of noisy baboons or a herd of Zebra at the house’s very own watering hole a couple of hundred metres away. You MUST order Lidia’s evening meal (because it’s delicious) and try some of Giel’s Wine (because he has a gorgeous wine cellar under the main house).
Try to stay two or three nights and you’ll have the most relaxing time.
What can I say:
Great view,
Super tasty food,
Very welcoming staff,
Outstandingly beatiful "decor" of the house,
Attention to details,
Proximity to the Blyde canyon.
I would gladly return next time.
Highly recommended.
Umvangati is a modern house looking over the Drakensburg and Blyde River Canyon - with amazing views! It's a perfect escape for some peace and quiet, a bit of forced 'switch off', which is what we needed. Rooms are lovely (we were in queen), and the whole house spacious and stylish. Hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Food is excellent. My only suggestion for dinners is to give a choice of main in case it's something you don't eat. We drove from Kruger Park and was great to do both. Thanks for the lovely stay.
Unbelievable stay in a familairy atmosphere with great food. Lidia und Giel are amazing.The view is just impressive. It is also possible to see some wild animals at the water hole.
For me it is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Thank you so much for the great stay! We hope we'll come back one day.
Recebemos um welcome drink na entrada (cortesia) . Os proprietários e a gerência são muito gentis. Os quartos são ultra confortáveis, silenciosos e com mimos exclusivos. Recomendo jantar no hotel pois é 20km da cidade , e conta com um menu completo (entrada, prato principal, e sobremesa ) por cerca de 440 rands por pessoa . Enfim valeu demais !!! O café da manhã e cortesia e foi o melhor que tivemos na viagem ( sendo que fiquei em diversos 5 estrela ) Nota 10!!!!
Melhor hotel que ficamos na Africa do Sul. Quartos confortáveis, proprietários simpáticos e com certeza a melhor comida que experimentamos na Africa do Sul. A vista para Blyde River Canyon é simplesmente fantástica. E possível ver animais bebendo água a partir do deck do hotel. As áreas comuns são lindas, incluindo uma piscina com vista fantástica. Vale muito a pena!
Ótimo atendimento, você é sempre bem tratado pelos donos do umVangati. A casa é coisa de cinema...linda, moderna, muito bem decorada, com um vista impressionante!! Ficamos hospedados no quarto casal luxo (suíte 1), o quarto é enorme, moderno e com varanda. A banheira e o chuveiro tem vista para os canyons (muito bonito). Solicitamos o jantar para noite que passamos lá, o mesmo foi preparado pela dona do umVangati, que estava saborosíssimo!! Os únicos arrependimentos foram não ter ficado hospedado mais uma noite e ter feito o tour pelos canyons.
Das umVangati House ist etwas spezielles in jeder Beziehung. Die Lage ist exponiert. Die Architektur und Ausstattung Luxuriös. Ganz liebevolle Gastgeber mit sehr persönlichem aber immer passendem Kontakt. Das Essen wird von der Hausherrin persönlich zubereitet und ist unglaublich gut. Selbst für mich als Vegetarier hat sie etwas gezaubert, was mit Abstand das beste Essen war, was ich im Urlaub in Südafrika bekommen habe. Das ganze hat seinen Preis, ist aber für die Leistung die man erhält jedenfalls angemessen.
Nous avons adoré notre séjour dans cette maison d'hôtes qui est juste sublime !
Le cadre, l'accueil des propriétaires, les chambres, le paysage, le petit déjeuner : tout est était parfait!
On se sent dans un site à part : on a vraiment l'impression d'être dans un autre monde !
Je ne peux que recommander ce lieu !
Es una casa privada con pocas habitaciones y el trato que dan los dueños es exquisito y 100% personalizado.
La ubicación es muy buena para ir a explorar la Panorama Route y el Parque nacional de Kruger.
El desayuno que sirven esta muy bueno y recomiendo probar las cenas. Las vistas desde la casa son preciosas.
La habitación es acogedora y comoda. El wifi va bien.
Lo recomiendo sin duda, no os arrepentireis!
