We stayed at Tomjachu for a couple of nights during a 10 day tour of SA. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and did everything to make our relaxing visit perfect. The cottage we stayed at was beautiful, with a breathtaking view of the mountains. We enjoyed eating at the Homestead as well as grilling our on food on a typical South African braai on our patio. We hiked around the property and overall had a wonderful, relaxing time enjoying the outdoors at Tomjachu. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francesca 24 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Posto idilliaco Molto positiva, personale gentilissimo, cena romantica perfetta! ##### Francesca Stayed 1 night in Aug 2017 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vytautas 14 Nov 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Luxury hideaway for a budget price We got to Tomjachu accidentally on a last minute search for a one night stay on a way from Kruger National Park. And we found a real jewel away in the mountains. The property is managed by Mr. Jack at highest standards competing with top hotels we've stayed. Everything is very well considered - a welcome email with throughout description of amenities, hiking ant MTB tracks; tree tags around the place; simple but efficient water saving tools in bathroom (you should see it yourselves); fireplace in a room… and a lot else to list. They have several cosy cottage with braai and swimming pools, each with beautiful views (we lived in the foremost and most private one called Bush Lodge. So sad we had to leave this place so quickly - I would like to return here for a weak for a hideaway chill. ##### Vytautas Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Jikks 10 Sept 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Tomjachu is paradise away just away from Nelspruit Tomjachu is a great place just outside Nelspruit. The place is absolutely well kept. The view is beautiful and very nice place to reconnect with family. There is no television so all the time is for you with your family. The accommodation is really relaxing and seems a very good way to reconnect with yourself. ##### Jikks Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ingela 31 Aug 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Avkopplande Ett alldeles utmärkt retreat för avkoppling, med natur och djur inpå knuten. Väldigt serviceinriktad personal, det var underbart att vara där! ##### Ingela Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Benjamin 17 Mar 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing place but check the note on dirt entrance \*Note: Lodge staff were incredible, the meals were great, and the view is amazing. I would highly recommend this place for a retreat and lodge experience. It should be noted this Lodge is down a 6-8 Kilometer dirt road that can feel rough in the dark. We did not have a 4x4 and faired okay but the hotel should state this fact in their description. Come here for rest and the beauty but not for proximity to Nelspruit due to dirt road. ##### Benjamin Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nomboniso 9 Dec 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### An amazing find! We stayed at the Bush Cottage as a family, amazing outlook views and a game drive at sunset was superlative. The mattress in the main bedroom was a bit on the hard side and maybe some new appliances in the kitchen could complement the elegant rustic look of the cottage. We had a braai fire arranged for us, the service is impeccable. ##### Nomboniso Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Corali 1 Nov 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Corali Stayed 1 night in Sep 2020 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathryn 30 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Kathryn Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Buckler’s Africa Lodge Kruger Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Bucklers-Africa-Lodge-By-BON-Hotels.h4765499.Hotel-Information) > - [On The Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Durban-North-Hotels-On-The-Beach.h100470383.Hotel-Information) > - [Kruger Park Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hazyview-Hotels-Kruger-Park-Lodge.h1201749.Hotel-Information) > - [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > - [Oliver's Restaurant & Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/White-River-Hotels-Olivers-Restaurant-Lodge.h3886653.Hotel-Information) > - [Hippo Hollow Country Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hazyview-Hotels-Hippo-Hollow-Country-Estate.h2417701.Hotel-Information) > - [Kruger Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-Safari-Lodge.h103047666.Hotel-Information) > - [Nkomazi Game Reserve by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Badplaas-Hotels-Nkomazi-Game-Reserve.h3177854.Hotel-Information) > - [Sanbona Wildlife Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barrydale-Hotels-Sanbona-Wildlife-Reserve.h1155735.Hotel-Information) > - [Kruger Park Lodge unit No. 608A](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hazyview-Hotels-Kruger-Park-Lodge-Unit-No-608A.h40885972.Hotel-Information) > - [Sabi River Sun](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hazyview-Hotels-Sabi-River-Sun-Resort.h11965688.Hotel-Information) > - [Sebatana Private Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Sebatana-Private-Reserve.h32459379.Hotel-Information) > - [Rissington Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hazyview-Hotels-Rissington-Inn.h4306376.Hotel-Information) > - [Hazyview Sun](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hazyview-Hotels-Hazyview-Sun.h24341.Hotel-Information) > - [Timamoon Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hazyview-Hotels-Timamoon-Lodge.h15522060.Hotel-Information) > - [Lukimbi Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Lukimbi-Safari-Lodge.h10645609.Hotel-Information) > - [Pumba Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grahamstown-Hotels-Pumba-Private-Game-Reserve.h2319463.Hotel-Information) > - [Muluwa Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/White-River-Hotels-Muluwa-Lodge.h21200171.Hotel-Information) > - [The Cascades Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cascades-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9515.Hotel-Information) > - [Rukiya Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Rukiya-Safari-Camp.h18302655.Hotel-Information) > - [Crocodile Bridge Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Crocodile-Bridge-Safari-Lodge.h12475157.Hotel-Information) > - [Vuyani River Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Tented-Camp-All-Inclusive.h57157744.Hotel-Information) > - [Shishangeni Lodge, Kruger National Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Shishangeni.h2008214.Hotel-Information) > - [Perry's Bridge Hollow Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hazyview-Hotels-Perrys-Bridge-Hollow-Boutique-Hotel.h1195055.Hotel-Information) > - [Sun City Hotel and Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-Soho-Hotel-Casino-At-Sun-City-Resort.h527184.Hotel-Information) > - [Ndhula Luxury Tented Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/White-River-Hotels-Ndhula-Luxury-Tented-Lodge.h38833772.Hotel-Information) > - [Destiny Lodge White River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/White-River-Hotels-Destiny-Lodge-White-River.h8158181.Hotel-Information) > - [Vuyani Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Safari-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36961786.Hotel-Information) > - [Olifants River Lodge by Dream Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Middelburg-Hotels-Olifants-River-Lodge.h25685110.Hotel-Information) ---
