Kata Charis Lakeside Lodge

Kata Charis Lakeside Lodge is a luxurious and exclusive retreat overlooking the beautiful Sabie River Valley and the untouched mountains of the Hazyview-Kiepersol Conservancy. The views are spectacular and the accommodation is spacious, stylish and comfortable.

Accommodation consists of two exclusive two-bedroom chalets with fully equipped kitchens providing for your every need. Percale linen and fluffy white towels are provided, and all rooms are spacious and comfortable. The chalets are situated in a spacious tree-filled garden which is rich in bird life.

Besides relaxing in Kata Charis' tranquil grounds, Hazyview and the surrounding areas offer many activities to enjoy. Delight in the breathtaking sites of the Panorama Route, open vehicle game drives in the Kruger National Park, wild adventures down the Sabie River on a raft or tube, abseiling, or zip-lining through the canopy in an indigenous forest.

"Best Kruger Lodge Ever"

05 May 2015

"Without a doubt, the best self-catering lodge we have ever been to. Leonie and Arnold are fantastic hosts and very friendly. The accommodation more than lived up to our expectations, it felt like home more than a weekend away and we were very heart sore to have to leave. We will definitely be going back there and we have already suggested it friends and family.<div>Thanks Leonie and Arnold for allowing us into your magical haven.</div>"
"Enjoyed our stay at Kata Charis Lakeside Lodge"

07 April 2015

"My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Kata Charis. It is a very nice exclusive place with tranquility and peace. The place is well serviced daily with a very nice lady who is very hospitable. It a very nicely situated destination for holiday because it is not too far from most activities and adventures that Hazyview offers. Very centrally located to go out daily for fun activities and come back to some peace and quiet in the bush. We did looks of jogs and walks in the bugs with no fear of anything. Safe place too. I'll definitely go back there. Thanks Arnold and Leonie. Very hospitable owners too!"

"Really a discovery, best location, close to everything with Lowveld temperatures and absolute quietness. The Lodge we stayed is very spacious, two bedrooms with huge bathrooms, Ideal for two couples. Kitchen, living, patio, braai, all very spacious, fully equipped and sparkling clean. Best thing although it's Self Catering is the daily cleaning of the Cottage including beds and dish washing. Something you really appreciate being away on sightseeing the whole day. Just perfect, keep it up this way, Leonie."

"This was a truly great place to stay. The hostess was friendly and we were treated like royalty. The chalets were exceptional and the gardens are well kept."
"Excellent accommodation"

07 November 2011

"Beautiful lakeside chalets near Kruger Park. Great decks with beautiful views overlooking the lake. Excellent braai facilities. Lovely bedrooms with great en-suite bathrooms. Well equipped. Only criticism would be we went with wheelchair-bound guest and showers were not accessible for him. Would be okay for someone with limited mobility. Down steep dirt track - might be difficult to drive up after rain without 4WD."
