Reviews

• "Ideal halfway stop"

  14 April 2021

  "Beautiful bird calls in the morning in a well kept garden after a relaxing evening and comfortable night's sleep."

• "Great value for money!"

  14 October 2019

  "Very neat and tidy units. Well equipped kitchen for self catering. TV was rather small and very far from the bed so made watching TV in bed difficult. Emergency lantern's batteries were flat but luckily there was no power outages while we were there. Very helpful and friendly owners. I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends."

• "Convenient Halfway House between Nelspruit and Sedgefield"

  16 September 2019

  "Place is neat and clean, could do with a cutting board and possibly a more secure key drop off box."

• "The bible next to the bed, the crisp fresh linen and the complimentary breakfast."

  06 December 2018

  "We found the location good and therefore rebooked Fox Den for our return journey from the Cape to Natal.This time we got a smaller unit than the one in the picture. It did not have a breakfast nook or dining-room table. It had a round table between two heavy ,lounge chairs (it was a studio room) .It didn't matter too much as we had a light supper in, but if one was seated to eat with knife and fork would have been a bit awkward. The fridge and cupboards smelled stale. The TV was so small and blurry, we couldn't read the soccer score. The water pressure was very low. Yet we didn't experience any of these problems in the one bedroom unit. If I booked again I would request the bigger one bedroom unit."

  31 July 2017

  "Did sleep well. Just a pity kitchen coldwater tap did not had any water."

• "Lovely but cold!"

  17 July 2017

  "The accommodation was lovely, clean and very comfortable. We slept very warmly thanks to the electric blanket and many extra blankets on the bed, but the single panel heater did very little to warm the room and getting ready the next morning was torture! The car thermometer read -3 when we left at 8am. I would definitely recommend a better heater for the room. My kids were delighted to discover the jungle gym but it does need some repair. The self-service breakfast in the room was most welcome and a lovely touch, making it very good value for money. I would definitely recommend Fox Den, but not in winter!"
