  What a beautiful piece of heaven! Incredibly peaceful and relaxing. The Mudhouse was definitely built to accommodate the views and they’ve taken careful consideration into the placement of the furniture... read more and places to relax throughout the day. If you want to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine, you can do that all day, but if you’d like shade there is always a place to relax without getting sun-kissed.The attention to detail was lovely…from the soft ambient lighting dotted around, to the little hearts cut-outs in the toilet door, to the adequate amount of robe hooks around…every necessary & special detail has been considered. If I was to suggest any ‘improvements’ I would say a little plunge pool would be AMAZING and possibly a freestanding fan that can be moved around for those extra hot days but other than that…I would say it was absolute paradise 🫶🏼We will DEFINITELY visit again!

  Absolutely spectacular! A real slice of heaven on earth. Thanks Martjin and Bernadette for sharing this with us. You have created something quite extraordinary. We will definitely be back.

  We spent two nights in this amazing tree house. It was fantastic. Beautiful. We were welcomed with a bottle of good red wine. It's a great place to watch hoofed... read more animals. In the morning, a giraffe came right up to the house. What an amazing encounter. When we're back in the area, we'll definitely come back, and stay for more nights.

  Peaceful, private, and beautifully quiet—this Bushveld stay was the perfect reset. Loved every moment.

  We had a wonderful time in this spectacular place.

  This stay was exactly as the pictures showed, with amazing views, a private space to relax and unwind. I 100% recommend people to give it a try, our stay was... read more truly amazing.

  Staying at the hut on poles was an absolutely incredible experience! It is truly one of the most peaceful, beautiful places we've ever been. The view across the trees down... read more towards the river is breath-taking and falling asleep watching the stars from the very comfortable bed only to wake up to a brilliant sunrise is a wonderful experience.The hut had everything we needed (and more), and Bernadette (and Niels and Martijn) were perfect hosts - good information (including the little 'guide book') and quick responses to any questions/issues. Though the main house and other hut are close by, it feels secluded, and even showering in the middle of the bush felt private!While we weren't visited by any animals up close, the drive to and from the hut was a game drive in itself and we were treated to giraffe, impala, zebra and more several times a day.We would highly recommend staying here, but you will need at least 3 nights to truly appreciate this little slice of heaven. We will be back!

  I would definitely visit again. Lovely experience!

  We enjoyed our stay.

  We really enjoyed out stay there!

  The hut on poles gave us a beautiful, unique stay in Zululand. We loved the design of the hut and the feeling of being outside all the time. The deck... read more is great for watching sunrises and sunsets, and antelopes and birds regularly pass by the hut. Perfect for nature lovers. The hosts are very kind and responsive. We look forward to another visit!

  We had such a wonderful weekend stay at Mudhouse on Poles #1. Set in the beautiful African bush, we felt safe & private. All the amenities were perfect, and the... read more hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a “safari” experience in a unique setting.

  What a wonderful gem to watch the sunset and relax in nature. However, it is not as private as the pictures, and there are 2 nearby camps walking distance away.... read more We loved watching the sunset while laying on the net, and there are lovely restaurants nearby too.

  What a spot! We will be back for sure. 👌🏿

  Lovely views from the top level of the house and felt immersed in nature.

  Bernadette and Martijn have created a unique experience with their hut on poles and we loved it! We have stayed in many self-catering establishments and can say that the... read more attention to detail in this special 'hut' was noticeable - even in the middle of the bush everything worked superbly. Water pressure was great and the shower is a torrent rather than a dribble, the toilet flushed properly the first time and everything is well maintained (so nothing falling off the walls). It has also been well thought through with everything one needs for such a stay incl a coffee plunger. And the animals really do come close (just like the pics show). Bernadette also gave us a thorough briefing on arrival and even when we stupidly managed to get our vehicle locked into a local restaurant's parking lot, Martijn was exceptionally helpful - it was much appreciated. If you want peace and quiet in a beautiful, safe environment, then this is the place for you. Thanks to both of you.

  It was truly the most incredible experience of our lives. The location was absolutely breathtaking—beyond anything we could have imagined—and perfectly suited to what we were looking for. Martijn and... read more Bernadette were exceptional hosts, warm and attentive in every way. My husband and I will most certainly be returning. A truly magical and unforgettable stay.

  An absolute bush-veld gem for those looking for peace and tranquility. Views are spectacular- day and night. Martjin and Bernadette have created an uniquely wonderful African experience. Perfection in simplicity.

  We had a wonderful stay in a pristine location. The surroundings are peaceful, remote and still close to all necessary amenities. If there was a possibility to walk or drive... read more to the river in order to observe the wildlife it would have been even more perfect. Thank you for this wonderful stay.

  beautiful and peaceful location, wonderful character filled accommodation, just as the pictures describe. hosts very helpful and responsive. 4wd recommended in rainy periods.

  Magical place. Minimalist perfection! Martijn & Bernadette really understand aesthetics, space, and natural beauty. Breathe in, breathe out…Aaah that’s nice!

  Such a peaceful place…I felt at home. I loved the kitchen and feeling connected to nature. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves peace and quiet.

  Great getaway! Would recommend Hut on Poles for anyone. Thank you again Martijn and Bernadette for everything.
