I strongly urge every traveler heading to this part of the world, to Hazyview, White River, Kruger, to stay at the Ashbourne. This was our first time there and we were in love with the vibe of the place, the surrounding area, the foliage, and our rooms were big, spacious, open, and quiet, with a lovely aesthetic. It felt like an elegant "Out of Africa" experience. Highly recommend a bottle of wine at sundowners overlooking the valley and the mountains. The breakfast was hearty, good fare. Delicious.

Absolutely amazing experience. Loved the property and room decoration. Swimming pool maintained excellently and water was refreshing. Rooms and dining areas decorated with excellent taste. Bottom line, felt like home in Africa. The views from the hill, where the property is located, are unique. Woke up early in the morning to see the sunrise with a cup of coffee and enjoyed the sunset with a glass of wine. Awesome! did not want to leave. The staff are loving, yes you read right loving and kind.

Beautiful country escape
Everything was amazing! Phenomenal view at sunset over a valley, relaxing fire pit at night, incredible dinner and dining room, fantastic breakfast. Great service as well. We stayed in the family lodge which had two bedrooms, a small kitchen and a private dipping pool and outdoor grill. Just beautiful.

They promised sunsets, wine, and mountains and they delivered. Rob greeted us with a bottle of wine. We stayed for two nights. We self catered the first night. Breakfast was excellent both days! Especially considering the power was out. Bhegi worked miracles in the kitchen with out power. The room was very clean and well appointed. We were treated like family. I would definitely go back! Jan

The perfect stop in Hazyview
My brother and I had a such a wonderful experience staying at Ashbourne on our way to Kruger. The owners were lovely and very accommodating, and the place is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The rooms are vast and comfortable, and breakfast was delicious. 10/10 I'd consider coming back even without Kruger being so close.

This is a wonderful place tucked away on the side of the hill away from everyone else. We had the honeymoon cottage with self-catering facilities. Huge room, plunge pool. Great views of the surrounding mountains. Lots of wildlife such as bush babies, daikers and owls. Very dark at night so great for seeing the stars. Great breakfast in the morning which we opted to take once. Perfect place to come and get away from it all. Easy reach of Kruger and plenty of restaurants etc in Hazyview town 10 mins or so by car. Thoroughly recommend.

Excellent stay
If you enjoy wonderful views, peace and tranquillity then this is the place for you. The hosts Rob and Dawne were very welcoming and the breakfasts were very good and plentiful. The only consideration is that the property is off the main road and about 1.8km up a dirt road, however we made it up to the property with no problems in our saloon car.

Tenho o privilégio de conhecer alguns lugares ao redor do mundo. Dito isso,posso dizer que o Ashbourne foi um dos 5 melhores lugares que ja me hospedei na minha vida. Tudo foi perfeito. O dono do local, Rob, é fantastico. Voce se sente em casa. Se voce tiver qualquer dúvida sobre onde se hospedar nesta região, nao pense mais. Este é o lugar! Absolutamente fantástico!
