57 guests' feedbackVery peaceful and private, the perfect place to relax. Exactly as the photos listed. There is about a 7 km gravel road to the cottage, accessible by car; it's like your private home in a game reserve setting. The host also sent self check-in details and pin location on the morning of arrival.
Very friendly host and wonderful surroundings.
Thank you very much for a wonderful holiday! We really enjoyed it, especially the pool, the silence and the neat house. You have looked after us very well in terms of cleanliness and safety.
It really is a must especially for those who enjoy the outdoors far away from city life in the heart of the forest. The photo does not show how beautiful it really is there and looks. It is much more beautiful in person and the owner Oom David was and is the most sincere person I have ever met, he was so hospitable to us and always ready if we needed anything. Our 2 weeks there were just amazing.
Beautiful cottage, so tasteful. Restful. Will definitely visit again.
Our stay was amazing, our host was super friendly and very accommodating. The property is well maintained and I'll certainly make use of this cottage more often.
We were in Phalaborwa for a week doing training. What a pleasure to return to a little house in the woods every afternoon. The 6 km dirt road was a bit of a challenge as we had to tackle it twice a day, but everything else made up for it! The forest silence was interrupted only now and then by the bleating of a goat or the bellowing of a cow. The braai area with splash pool was a highlight - we barbequed every night! The fact that there was only Netflix and YouTube available didn't bother us at all because we could sit outside and stargaze until late. David was the perfect host and looked after all our needs - even had the road scraped! The cottage itself is very well equipped and spacious with a lovely bathroom. The extra toilet is a plus for when more than 2 people would stay there. We will definitely stay there again.
Very nice stay. All amenities worked well. Good WiFi for work and Netflix. There are 4 beds but 2 are in the lounge/dining room so would suit kids best. Situated a bit out of town so nice and quiet/peaceful. Good value for money.
It was neat, clean and good value for money. I would definitely stay there again if we are in the area!
We had a very nice stay. Will definitely return in the summer so we can use the lovely pool and braai facilities. The house is very neat, clean and well equipped. We lacked nothing. It was a treat to take a nice hot shower and get into a soft clean bed after a day in the wildlife park.
Very pleasant stay. Had everything we needed. The swimming pool was an added bonus, as it was very hot when we were there.
Very neat place, nice in the middle of the forest. The only problem is the dirt road there is not very good.
Apart from the WiFi not working the first two days, it was a very nice break. The ±10km dirt road is just a bit bad for small cars, so I advise future travelers to go with a four-wheel drive or a pick-up truck. The Cottage is out of town and secluded in the woods, so it's wonderfully quiet and peaceful.
The accommodation is very well equipped, very neat and clean. The gas stove makes it convenient to prepare meals at any time. The beds are extremely comfortable with neat linens. We were pleasantly surprised that unit was serviced daily and towels changed. Necessary information about directions, keys and WiFi was communicated in advance. Thank you very much for a very pleasant stay — we will definitely stay there again when we come to Phalaborwa.
Good value for money, beautiful and modern, everything you need in a self catering unit, lighting provision made for when there is load shedding, dirt road a bit rough for a normal vehicle, I recommend a bakkie or similar vehicle.
Place is even more beautiful than the photos show on web page. Really comfortable and neat! Will definitely book there again and recommend!
We had a wonderful overnight stay at Cottage Lenise. Would definitely recommend and will stay there again if we get the chance!
Beautiful, clean, comfortable overnight cottage just outside Kruger National Park. Bright clean swimming pool with large outdoor barbecue (because unfortunately we couldn't use it due to late summer rain). Will definitely be a treat in the heat of summer. Cottage itself is large, spacious and 100% equipped for self-catering accommodation. On our visit, in the rain, the only slightly negative was the +- 10 km dirt road which was quite badly washed out with holes and corrugated iron, but this is understandable and not the fault of the owners. People just have to be aware of the dirt road. We are from Cape Town and if we use the Phaloborwa gate again we will definitely use Cottage Lenise again!
Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, fully equipped and good service.
We had a wonderful stay. Everything was neat and clean and in working order. The cottage is well equipped with everything you will need and more. Very relaxed and private. The staff and David were very friendly and helpful. It is truly a stunning place.
Most places that advertise accommodation agents' photos and reviews are 99% of the time better than reality. Sometimes you can't believe what you actually get and what was advertised is the same place.
As with our previous visit, everything was once again perfect upon arrival and our stay was relaxing for body and soul. The cottage is beautiful and once again met all our needs. The WiFi was absolutely a treat for the teenagers. After our previous visit, David made a point of paying attention to the access dirt road and the road is now being maintained. Thank you very much for that David, we really appreciate it.
See stars. Clean and comfortable.
Absolutely beautiful and would recommend it to anyone.
See stars.
The cottage is so well looked after, clean and tidy. Our host and the workers were really excellent. A beautiful swimming pool, delicious braai facilities and an ice-cold fridge and air-conditioned cottage awaited us. Lafenis after the long day's drive. Definitely value for money, with even Netflix quite a bit. We can honestly recommend it for families too.
A hidden gem just outside Phalaborwa. Great to stay before entering Kruger National Park. All facilities were spotless and tidy. The only slightly negative comment is the 6 km dirt road you have to drive to get to Cottage Lenise - road driven and corrugated iron. At least saw an attempt being made to clear the road.
Silence and tranquility. Spacious, tasteful and everything you need. So sorry we had to travel on early.
Everything inside and outside the room is definitely of very good quality.
Very neat and clean accommodation. Definitely 5 star. Thank you very much, nice to be able to stay in a neat place. If we are in the area again this will be our first choice. Thanks again.
Lovely. Nice braai area, private, internet, air conditioning and everything you need. David is great. All that bothers me is how close you are to the workers' homes. But it does make you feel safer. Highly recommended.
Will definitely stay there again.
The cottage is neatly and tastefully furnished and the fully equipped kitchen is a bonus if you want to get away for a few days. It is peaceful and quiet and very safe. David fully communicated all the instructions for contactless check-in so that we could easily find our way. It was wonderful to go home with you!
What a nice place. Quiet, beautiful and a pleasure to sleep, barbecue and rest there.
There are few perfect holiday places, but I am convinced that Cottage Lenise is one of them! If they say fully equipped, you can expect even more than that. Every nook and cranny of the place is perfectly planned with so much detail to the interior. We had such a nice stay! Do yourself a favor and go see for yourself. Great!
Very neat, clean and comfortable
If was perfect! They think of every detail. Place is clean. A jewel. Would recommend the cottage. 10/10.
Accommodation is great and host (Dave) also very helpful. Definitely another visit to the Lowveld.
Perfectly located and wonderful, peaceful atmosphere.
Cottage Lenise is neat and clean and tastefully furnished for self-catering. We were warmly received by David after a long day on the road through KNP. The corrugated iron road broke us a bit, but the accommodation made up for it. I will stay there again if the opportunity arises.
Cottage Lenise was well-equipped in all aspects - kitchen, bedroom, bathroom (even a washing machine). It's simple open plan spacious living area and bedroom were comfortable and children friendly (more than enough room to set up a camping cot and by moving the coffee table aside more than enough space for a crawling toddler).
The most equipped unit we have ever visited. David, thank you for your hospitality. We will recommend you to all our friends. You will definitely see us again. You get 10 stars from us!
Me and my friend truly enjoyed the place.
We were very impressed with the atmosphere of the place. It's lovely to visit and wake up there. The house has everything one needs - even interesting reading material. Wonderful hospitality! We highly recommend it.
Best place we have ever booked on the website. Cottage Lenisè is a clean, tidy little place in the woodland. The owner, David, made us feel so welcome. The children really enjoyed the pool. The place has everything you need. Milk, sugar, coffee, Milo, hot chocolate, herbs. Even the marshmellows were topped up every day. The place is cleaned every day. We couldn't have asked for a better place. The children of course enjoyed the free WiFi. There are so many more that I could name. I will go back again for sure. David, thank you for all your hospitality. We really enjoyed it.
This is a gem of a place: spotless, fitted out for royalty. The reception and customer service was excellent. It was so luxurious that we didn't want to leave again.
What a beautiful cottage, tastefully furnished, everything and more that one needs. The owner is friendly and helpful, we will definitely stay here again.
Was were warmly received, and spot incredibly well-appointed and comfortable. Atmosphere on farm of tranquillity, and host very friendly and everything done to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Was truly an exceptional place, which was incredibly clean and tidy and very tastefully furnished. Would recommend it to anyone, and would like to rest there for a week.
I travel a lot and even though you have to drive on a long gravel road, the small gem of a place was such a surprise. David is so hospitable and because we arrived late the fire was already burning. So much effort went into this place and the treats, and it is so tidy. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends.
Wonderful experience. Situated on a beautiful 23ha farm just over 10km outside Phalaborwa, in the bush. We got there late in the evening and everything was perfectly ready for us. From the key and remote for gates which were in a small safe at the main gate with code sent to me, to the place which was beautifully lit with outdoor lights and paraffin lamps. The air conditioners were already set to the perfect temperature. The unit is absolutely stunning and everything was perfect. 5 Star place and service with milk and water bottles in fridge, to everything you could need for the kitchen. As well as coffee, tea, sugar, spices and even marshmallows that children could roast on fire! Wonderful braai place with enough hard coal wood and blitz. Fire was lit when we got there, and barbecue was cleaned every morning. The small splash pool under construction will be a winner in the summer! Kleinding really enjoyed the Netflix and WiFi and wife was very happy that she could go jogging on the farm paths every morning and afternoon accompanied by the resident Foxterrier. Unit is cleaned carefully every morning and the ladies were very impressed to find a Sweety Pie on their made bed every morning and a clean towel when we got back to the unit. And the service didn't just stop there, when I suddenly felt very bad on Wednesday night, the owner (who often came to check if everything was OK) thought nothing of rushing out to the farm and came to get me and to the Emergency Medical Clinic in town, where a very good doctor attended to me immediately. Place is absolute value for money and I will definitely stay there again if I come to Phalaborwa again. Can recommend it wholeheartedly and will definitely be introducing it to everyone I know. And now my hat itself, which I forgot there, is being mailed to me.
The apartment is neat and spacious, equipped with everything you need, the owners are very friendly and helpful, the area is very peaceful and beautiful. I don't think you can find a better place to stay in Phalaborwa! Absolutely amazing in every way.
Except for the corrugated gravel road, it was really great. It was neat, clean and peaceful. I'll stay there again. My husband says A+++ quality!
Thank you for wonderful weekend hospitality, excellent stay, beds everything was perfect, we will definitely stay at Cottage Lenisè again. The cleaning service was just as good, the braai area is so lovely, I would definitely recommend it to people.
Can recommend Cottage Lenisè with the utmost confidence. You get value for money and much more! David is an excellent host who makes sure that everything is to your liking. He will go the extra mile for you to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We were extremely pleased with everything that was offered to us! Thank you very much for that!
Was lovely to stay there and would recommend to anyone. Friendly service and the place itself is wow. It's big, tidy with everything you need and more. Safe and quiet. I also forgot my cell charger there and they sent it to me, nicely packaged, no charges, what an incredibly wonderful experience.
Brand new and well appointed! Everything you need and more.
A very beautiful cottage just outside Phalaborwa, everything you could wish for is provided for. Spacious, super clean, excellently stocked kitchen. This is one of very few places where what you see on the website photos is actually what you get.
