The cottage has a gas oven, hob and kettle, a Webber braai, gas geysers for hot water and a battery backup / inverter system that easily sees us through Stage 4 load shedding with lighting, WiFi, DSTV and all plugs operational if used wisely.
"We did enjoy our stay at umSisiVery good value."
"Private, quite and well equipped."
"We were really pleasantly surprised with this venue. It was in perfect condition, with attention to detail. We felt very safe and the view was amazing. Even when there was a power failure, the hosts, Amanda and Paddy went more than the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable. We will definitely be back!"
"We stayed in umSisi cottage for 5 days this place is stunning with the beautiful garden and nice walking route outside the property. We appreciate the privacy very much.Although it's a self-catering cottage, Esther came to clean and organize every morning - what a service.Very good location to explore the beautiful surroundings of Mpumalanga and a stroll away from Numbi gate Kruger. Thanks Amanda and Paddy for your great hospitality, the 5 days was not enough.The cottage is much better than the pictures."
"Perfect spot close to Kruger. You can tell the owners have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. Hammocks, fresh fruit, a bottle of wine. Owners make you feel very welcome in an unassuming manner. The view and cottage are better than the pictures show."
"We had a very nice stay. Great view from the Verandah. Two very friendly dogs and lovely hospitality from Amanda and Paddy. Good cleaning service from the friendly Esther. Very good price for the stay. We are coming back in 2012. Thanks so much."
"Truly 5 star! A luxury cottage with great views, all the necessary comforts for relaxing break and ideal access to Kruger Park. We had a brilliant weekend away, enjoying a really special style of personal hospitality. I suggest Umsisi cottage to anyone looking for value for money accommodation just outside Kruger.Thanks again for a very memorable trip."
