Wolwekrans Eco-Self Catering Lodge,
Mpumalanga.

Wolwekrans is a truly magical place! The road up is an adventure in itself requiring a 4x4 or high clearance vehicle and a sense of adventure. Once you arrive at your well appointed chalet you are greated by breathtaking views and immediately begin to unwind and relax. The cottages, although basic, are well equipped and comfortable. Evenings are spent around the fire before a piping hot shower and a comfortable bed with clean, crisp linen. Mornings are started over a cup of coffee before undertaking one of the few scenic hikes or just relaxing in a hammock and taking in the views. There are a few things to do in the area but because of accessibility, Wolwekraans is best enjoyed as a night or two's stop over just to relax and recharge.

Peace, tranquility and beauty - Wolwekrans has it all. The chalet is beautifully decorated, and beds very comfy. We loved being completely off the grid, and yet you still had everything you’d treasure on a chilly evening- hot water, solar lights, fireplace and braai areas. We enjoyed our evenings around the fire pit, using the “Varkie” to make delicious bread. While the kids spent hours in the hammocks stargazing. This place is a true getaway where you leave feeling refreshed but wishing you could’ve stayed longer. Communication with management was fantastic and very well organised.

Wolvekrans is an absolutely MAGICAL place. The cabins are lovely and spacious, with glorious mountain views in all directions. They kitchen well stocked with all the utensils plates, cups etc we needed. The beds are divine and the linen is deliciously soft. The outdoor seating area is big and has loads of options to sit and take in the breath taking view of the mountains. We used the fire pit boma both nights we were there, and the view of the sky,stars and mountain are also spectacular from the back. The double shower with glass Mountain View.. well that was winner for us! The photos just simply do not do this place justice. The hammocks o were great fun and The water from the fresh spring and absolutely delicious! I wish we could have brought it home! We opted for the fountain hike, it was the right choice for us. The hike ends at a beautiful spot in the Forrest with a fresh river running over the rocks and a little picnic area to sit at. The hike is not strenuous and gave us loads of time to look and feel the Flora of the mountain as well as the views of the mountain and sky. Wolvekrans has captured the enormity of the mountain that you are on as well as its surroundings, helping you feel part of the land, but also able to feel such enormous gratitude to be literally - high up on the side of the mountain!. Sarah and Daniel were both brilliant. Daniel picked us up as we left our car at the bottom of the mountain and Sarah took us down. Both himself and Sarah know the road so well and I’m glad we opted for that option. It really is a mountain pass 4x4 style. In my opinion, leave your car at the bottom and let the journey up and down be a part of the experience. The road is quite scary even for the “advanced 4x4ies”. We chatted with Sarah on WhatsApp, getting us some more firewood and kindly lent us binoculars for the weekend. So the communication was nice and easy. These mountains are truly magical and we were so blessed to have experienced this beautiful place. We can’t wait to go back for another scream into the mountains ⛰️❤️!

Wow, wow and wow! What a stunning stay we had. The woman we booked through, Sarah, was so lovely and informative and helpful. The accommodation itself was absolutely breathtaking with such sweet gestures such as bread dough waiting for us in the fridge so we could make some fresh bread. Everything you need has truly been thought of at the accommodation. We were so sad to leave this beautiful spot in the mountains.

Spectacular surrounding views, and stargazing at night a beautiful majestic experience. Definitely worth a visit. Do not under estimate the road leading up to the accommodation, only high clearance or 4x4 vehicles. Well worth the visit and experience. Sarah and Daniel were exceptional hosts, very friendly and accommodating. *****for them too.

Fantastic location. Friendly, efficient booking and information process. Stylish furnishings and layout in the cottages. Everything you could want in terms of self-catering equipment. The 4x4 route to get to the cottages is a nice drive and not too hectic. They unnecessarily don't supply towels... Not sure why not? Everything else is provided and is superb. Their cancellations and refund policy is unnecessarily punitive and rigid. We had a great stay.

Such a beautiful spot. Cant wait to go back. Kids loved the freedom and privacy. Did all the hikes from easy to challenging. Accommodation is simple but nothing more is needed. Loved the personal touch of bread dough left in the fridge.

Only for 4x4 owners. Stay on top of mountain in eco friendly lodge cabins. Great view. Quite suitable accommodation. The road is only suitable for proper 4x4 vehicles and drivers that love a challenge. Great breakaway away from concrete jungle. Walking trails with pool in mountain terrain

Wolwekrans is an unforgettable experience. My stay at this venue was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel right at home. The cottage was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated, being completely off grid but with all the comforts and the bed was incredibly comfortable slept like a rock. I appreciated the little touches such a complimentary Self bake bread! The location was perfect for me, being a complete getaway and made it completely peaceful at night. I heard all sorts wildlife when we took walk within minutes to the fresh swimming pool (no chlorine!) and also we took a brisk hike to a fresh stream! Overall, I can't recommend this guesthouse highly enough. The attention to detail, the warm and friendly staff, and the comfortable surroundings all contributed to a truly memorable stay. I will definitely be returning in the future!"

Our second visit to Wolwekrans was well worth the challenging drive up the mountain. We woke up to the cries of fish eagles, followed by the barking of baboons in the forest below our chalet. The views from the chalet perched on the edge of the mountain high above the forest, is unbelieveable. This hidden gem in Schoemanskloof is the perfect family destination. We heard that guided horse riding trails are planned, which is really great news!
