About this property
Idwala View – Mabalingwe Game Reserve – Luxury, Self-Catering Safari Getaway
Solar backup power during power outages and load shedding. This secluded, self-catering luxury getaway offers you the best way to experience amazing African wildlife in the malaria-free Mabalingwe Nature Reserve. With spacious rooms that spill out to an expansive deck where a heated swimming pool, bar, and deck await. Accommodates up to 8 adults & 4 children – perfect for family gatherings & large groups. Spend quality time together, and enjoy the sunset views while sipping a sundowner.
Included:
• Solar backup power during power outages and load shedding
• Netflix, Showmax, DSTV Premium and DSTVNow

Beautifully decorated in a distinctly South African flavor, inspired by Tretchikoff and the local street artists, this house is fully equipped. Enjoy breathtaking views from the deck.
