We opportunitistically presented ourselves and our young son - keeping our fingers crossed they would be able to accomodate us at short notice. We had a wonderful nights stay. The room was excellent - so many small touches making it feel like a very special experience. We had dinner with the rest of the guests and found our hosts to... More

My daughter and I booked here to break our long drive from Jo'berg airport to our the next bit of our itinerary which was the Blyde River Canyon area, then Kruger, and found a haven of peace and beauty - you would not know this unique, gorgeous place exists on the outskirts of what seems like quite a large busy...

We stayed here during the world cup 2010, our hosts were very helpful and accommodating. We can certainly recommend staying here in nice surrounds.

Excellent room, food, friendly hosts. Felt very cozy after the Kruger camps' shabbiness. Nice views of nlspruit from the balcony. Only minus was the difficulty to access the house because of the changes in the streets' names.

Patricia and Hameed were most helpful with making tour and transport arrangements. Breakfast and supper were terrific! Patricia is a great cook. It was fun... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at Utopia in Africa for one night, on our way to a work assignment in Swaziland. We didn't make a reservation ahead of time -- I found the listing in my South Africa Rough Guide and we called from Nelspruit at about 5:00 p.m. on the night of our stay. It was a Monday evening...

It's a charmingly well decorated hotel in a tranquil setting adjacent to a forest preserve. The common areas and rooms are beutiful, but best of all is the warm welcome. The owners and... More

We stayed at Utopia in Africa for one night between safari and flying out of Nelspruit, and I was very surprised to see no review on TripAdvisor, because this is a great place! Patricia is a wonderful hostess, and runs a very lovely inn. The guest house is capacious and well-equipped. The rooms are decorated beautifully, and the bathrooms are... More
