Budget Getaways Review
Tucked among lush surrounds on a working citrus farm, Crocodile Nest B&B lies a short drive off the N4, 13 kays from Nelspruit.
Centered around a communal living space that spills onto a swimming pool and braai area, the accommodation options come in a variety of forms.
Two garden rondavels sleep two and four respectively. These single-roomed units have a lounge area, fridge, tea and coffee, and TV.
Within the main house you’ve got an ensuite twin room with fridge, microwave, kettle and TV, and a spacious two-bedroomed unit well suited to a family, with double and twin beds, an equipped kitchenette, and large bathroom with shower and bath.
In addition, there are four timber cabins with a communal kitchen, lounge with DSTV and built-in braai. These rustic units come with twin or double beds, private bathrooms and covered decks.
Last up is the family cabin, an equipped unit with double bed and bunk beds, shared bathroom, kitchenette and telly.
All units have the option of breakfast, which is served on the balcony at your friendly host's house.
Whether used as a comfortable base to explore the area, a convenient stop over en route to Kruger, or just a break-out from the urban jungle, Crocodile Nest gets our nod and that of many a previous guest.
"Very quaint little B&B with the perfect mix of home and activities; I stayed a total of 2 nights and loved it! I arrived late the first night and found the level of security comforting. The gate had an easy-to-use intercom system to allow you into the orchard, then Mark met me at the gate to the house. I stayed in Room 1 which has a double bed and a small but perfect ensuite bathroom. The room was very clean, had coffee and tea, and the bed was extremely comfortable. I did the half-board breakfast, which was perfect with eggs, bacon, mushrooms, and sausage. I would recommend this place to anyone who is spending time in Nelspruit. It is just off the N4 and a 10 min drive into the CBD."
