Welcome to Riverfront View - House on Blyde.
House on Blyde offers self-catering accommodation and is located in a secure, fenced reserve in the Blyde Canyon. This splendid and secluded home is situated on the banks of the Blyde River, and will steal your heart with the tranquillity of nature surrounding the property.
There are spectacular mountain views. Entire use of the home. Secluded… Quiet. You may enjoy the zebras that visit regularly... They are also very tame. Very unique stay.
The space & access :
This fully furnished, family-friendly, double-storey home consists of 3 spacious air-conditioned bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The main and second bedrooms each have a queen-size bed, and the third bedroom is equipped with 2 single beds and a queen-size bed; each bedroom offers lovely views. The first bathroom is fitted with a shower and a bath, twin basins and a toilet; the second bathroom has a shower, a basin, and a toilet.
The open-plan well-equipped kitchen contains a fridge-freezer, a stove and an oven, cutlery, crockery, and other small appliances. The adjacent open-plan living area leads out to a sheltered deck with braai facilities. There is another open-air deck next to the river where guests can sit and relax as well.
Guests can hear the sounds of the river, or often spot free-roaming impala, zebra, bushbuck, and bush pig near the house. There are unusually beautiful trees, such as Jackal Berry, Leadwood, Marula and Fig that surround the property.

We had an awesome time. The hosts go out of their way to make your stay comfortable. Will suggest this facility to anyone.
We arrived to one of the most beautiful places ever. We were met by Christine, the friendly hostess. Every room was clean and neat. The sceneries are heaven. In the morning we found zebras grazing just outside. The sound from the nearby river is refreshing. I will give the place 10/10.
Definately going back there again.
Absolutely beautiful house and hosts. We stayed there for 3 nights and wished it was longer. The surroundings are stunning and just sitting on the veranda overlooking the river and mountains recharges your soul. Thank you Christine, we will be becoming back soon.
Absolute gem with a fantastic host.
Peaceful and quiet, ideal for a much needed break.
Will most definitely be using the facility again.
Most awesome place. Highly recommended!

Hoedspruit Reviews
Beautiful and Clean, pity a place like Mali Mali can upset a persons Holiday... an event that was meant to be legendary! Mali Mali is not as per there website... they manipulate the internet!
The nature.
Morokologa game reserve, we spend our Christmas at the camp and we had a beautiful game drive and morning walks with my grandmother. Played games and reconnected as a family.
Most of Gold cabins- the weather - the sound of the birds-
Since we have family and old colleagues in Hoedspruit we enjoy everything. Love going to Hoedspruit for a weekend break away.
The quietness.
It’s a beautiful town which is easily accessible and has all the convenient shopping around the lodges nearby and one is able to do various activities around the area.
Privacy!
The town is very small yet beautiful and neat. It has lots of tourist attractions and good place to visit, just to unwind!
