Villa Marula: Delightful South African bush villa

Named after the tree that our elephants adore, Villa Marula is a bush styled villa that provides an enjoyable space for six people and is located in one of the most pristine areas of South Africa. Villa Marula offers three luxury bedrooms and two fully equipped bathrooms which both boast an inviting outdoor shower for those clear sky starry nights to be enjoyed to the fullest. Villa Marula has recently installed a backup battery system as well due to the power outages in South Africa.



This villa incorporates all the warm tones that create a space of comfort and relaxation. The lounge is fitted with a corner sofa, a star viewer and flatscreen TV, media player and blue-ray player for movie nights with popcorn and smarties. Placed below a magnificent African inspired chandelier is an open styled kitchen that is equipped with all modern conveniences, including a centre island for social memories, Nespresso coffee machine, gas top stove and an oven, as well as an American fridge that provides ice blocks to keep your drinks cool while enjoying them outside in the private heated swimming pool. Aside from the kitchen, the utility room you will find a washing machine, dryer, and dishwasher.



With our warm climate that provides sunny days nearly all year round, Villa Marula has taken special consideration for this with its covered patio area that is completed with a 6-seater dinning set for dinner in the African bush along with a weber BBQ for our braai enthusiast and sun loungers for lazy days spent around your private heated swimming pool. Not to forget the view of the Little Drakensberg mountains and varied trees that provide privacy for this immaculate villa.



All accommodations of Homes of Africa are located on Zandspruit Bush & Aero Estate (Hoedspruit, Limpopo), an area of 1000 hectares of pristine and beautiful South African bush where only guests and residents of Zandspruit Estate have access. The beauty of this estate is the animals that call it home, there are harmless wild animals, including zebra and giraffe which make for a wonderful afternoon walk through the estate and all to enjoy without leaving the estate.

Geweldig verblijf met herinneringen voor het leven

We hebben een heerlijk verblijf gehad met ons gezin met 3 jonge kinderen. Alles was enorm ruim opgezet en alles wat je nodig had was aanwezig. Qua locatie erg fijn op het estate en hoe mooi is het als er kudu's, duikers en wrattenzwijnen bij je voordeur en bij het zwembad rondlopen. Ook veel mooie vogels voorbij zien komen en het uitzicht op de bergen was fantastisch. We hebben meerdere keren een wandeling over het estate gemaakt, zowel het bewoonde als onbewoonde gebied, en kwamen veel dieren tegen. We konden iedere dag van het zwembad genieten en de vuurplaats was perfect om marshmellows te roosteren. Ook hebben we alle activiteiten via Homes of Africa geboekt. Een ochtendsafari in Pridelands, een halve dag Kruger, een sunset safari met bush dinner in Blue Canyon (geweldig!!) en de kinderen vonden het paardrijden en quad rijden echte hoogtepunten. Hoe fantastisch is het dat je een giraffe tegenkomt terwijl je op een paard zit :-) In Hoedspruit en vlak erbuiten heb je meerdere super leuke restaurants, allemaal met speelplaats voor de kinderen wat ideaal is als je op je eten wacht. Het contact met de hosts verliep ook heel soepel en alle activiteiten begonnen keurig op tijd, dus ja, dikke aanrader om hier met je gezin heen te gaan.

Bush beleving met luxe zonder afhankelijk te zijn van anderen

Het verblijf en de omgeving was precies zoals op de website homesofafrica.com was beschreven. De villa was precies zoals op youtube weergegeven. Het was fantastisch. Blijf zo doorgaan.
