We offer exclusive use, self-catering accommodation in a beautifully appointed, recently renovated thatched lodge, Hunter’s Lodge. The lodge consists of 5 rooms, 4 of which are en-suite. Guests will have private access to a secluded beach at the edge of the reserve.

The place is beautiful, it is a home away from home. I liked its Tranquility and quietness.

There are both indoor and outdoor self-catering accommodation options at Mansfield. The original farmhouse, with fully equipped kitchen, can sleep up to 8 guests. Farmhouse guests also have access to a private swimming pool and braai. The smaller cottage can sleep up to 4 guests. The cottage opens onto a stoep with braai, that overlooks the bushveld. Eagle’s Nest Cabin offers a completely off the grid experience. The kitchenette is equipped with a small gas stove and fridge. Lighting is battery-operated and paraffin powered. Hot water to the shower is generated by an old-fashioned “donkey”! Adventure is guaranteed! Outdoor accommodation includes camping sites and tree-top platforms. The platforms, with bunk beds, appeal especially to young outdoor enthusiasts.

A really beautiful reserve with a lot of game. We stayed at Eagle nest with a truly stunning view and was amazed at the number of different bird species we saw from the balcony. Looking out the kitchen window we aw wildebeest, impala & zebra. The accommodation was very clean, comfortable and it was the little extra's that made the difference like tea, coffee and rusks. What struck me the most was how friendly and accommodating the staff were! We took a lovely long hike, relaxed down by the river and in hindsight wish we had canoed - all available from the office. When down by the river, I was wondering what type of tree I was looking at and discussing it with my sister when the nearby gardener piped up with the identification - such a lovely friendly knowledgeable guy. I will definitely return and next time stay for longer.

    We stayed for 4 nights at "The Lodge", an amazing historic family home that takes you back in time 100 years. Beautifully furnished with antiques and animal skin rugs. Enjoyed the fragrance of Mansfield Private Reserve's signature linen spray, moisturizer and body wash. The surrounding wildlife and birds were wonderful. . . herds of Impala, Zebra, Wildebeest and a few Blesbock were frequently very nearby. Kingfishers, Horn bills, Hoopoes, Starlings etc. flitted through the trees. A Magical Experience in every way.

    Even though the place it's not satisfactory at all, the owner was very friendly and kind. She apologized for the condition of the lodge, , explained that they have recently bought the place. I hope they will improve it quickly.
