Description
Via the long driveway, you reach the well-hidden NEW Villa Umkhaya (completed april 2024), ensuring ample privacy in this oasis of luxury amidst the enchanting African wilderness.
Umkhaya, the Zulu word that means both family and the name of the tree (knob thorn tree) gracefully standing at the entrance of the house, beloved by giraffes for its fruits. Family and nature happen to be significant for the owners of this villa.
Welcome to your home away from home, a new bush villa where comfort, spaciousness, luxury, and adventure are seamlessly intertwined with nature. This beautiful villa promises a delightful stay infused with the warmth of the African sun and the sounds and colors of nature.
Villa Umkhaya exudes timeless natural elegance with its harmoniously designed interior featuring luxurious furniture combined with subtle African influences. What catches the eye in this villa are the extra tall windows that all extend to the floor, enhancing the delightful outdoor feeling.
Upon entering the living room, light floods in through the large windows offering views of the African bush and the majestic Drakensberg Mountains rising above it from every corner.
The unique design of the beautiful kitchen makes it a delightful place to linger, whether you're a cook or a bon vivant. Whether you prefer to cook yourself or hire a professional chef to bring local cuisine to the table, every meal becomes a culinary adventure. A highlight is also the terrace attached to the kitchen, where you can enjoy a delightful cup of coffee in the morning sun, prepared with the Nespresso Creatista. This machine caters to every coffee lover, from a ristretto to a latte Macchiato.
Since most time will be spent outdoors, there's a large cozy covered patio with lounge chairs and a dining table. From here, you can observe nyalas in the garden while enjoying a glass of wine during the "golden hour." This can also be done in the boma with a fire pit under an impressive starry sky. If you decide to dine at home, a delicious piece of meat can be prepared on the available Weber BBQ.
For sunbathers, there's a spacious sun terrace with 6 sun loungers around the heated pool.
Three luxurious bedrooms let you drift away in the delightful XL king-size beds and offer a relaxing night's sleep after a day full of adventure. Each bedroom features a hairdryer, air conditioning, fans, and sliding windows for that delightful outdoor living feeling. The extra-large master bedroom boasts an ensuite bathroom with a bathtub, shower, outdoor shower, and separate toilet. The second bathroom features a double sink, shower, and an outdoor shower as well. Enjoy showering outdoors surrounded by the sounds and scents of nature.
In addition, Villa Umkhaya features solar panels, backup batteries, and excellent wifi.
Explore Zandspruit Estate (1000ha of pristine bush with harmless animals and accessible only to guests and residents) on foot, by car, by bike, or on horseback and discover hidden corners and beautiful landscapes. And perhaps impalas, nyalas, zebras, kudus, warthogs, or giraffes will cross your path.
Whether you're looking for an intimate retreat with your loved one, an unforgettable family getaway, or an adventurous vacation with friends, our bush villa Umkhaya promises an unparalleled experience that will stimulate all your senses and capture your heart. Come, experience, and create memories that will last a lifetime in this hideaway in the African bush.
The cozy village of Hoedspruit is just a 10-minute drive away with its many restaurants, shops, and supermarkets. Activities and safaris can easily be booked through the host.
You can not leave Africa.
It always lives with you,
in your heart, in your mind, in your soul.
A piece of a puzzle that makes more sense than anything else.
