Affording the discerning traveler a tranquil haven away from home, walkways meander past the main lodge through the trees to reveal four exclusive suites as well as a self catering lodge all under thatch offering architecturally styled accommodation that is a harmonious combination of local craftsmanship and the luxury of modern conveniences. Nestled in a magnificent subtropical estate our accommodation is most refined offering guests the very best with different and unique touches that will spoil you. We don’t only accommodate you luxuriously but also provide a memorable, intimate experience in a very unique setting. Your hosts Phil and Margi Nichols look forward to welcoming you and ensuring that your stay at Blue Jay Lodge will be truly memorable. BED & BREAKFAST ACCOMMODATION Blue Jay Lodge has four Deluxe King Suites exuding refinement and supreme comforts with fully-stocked mini-bars, beverage trays, DSTV, air-conditioning, overhead fans, bathrobes, hairdryers, private decks, fine white linen, big pillows, mosquito nets and King-size beds (or single beds if preferred) not to mention en-suite bathrooms designed for your pampering and enjoyment. Relax on your own private verandah / balcony or cool off in the secluded rim-flow pool whilst sipping refreshing drinks and watching the birdlife amongst the trees. SELF-CATERING ACCOMMODATION The Deluxe Self Catering Kingfisher Lodge has a master bedroom sleeping 2 with a King Size bed, full deluxe en-suite bathroom (for your pampering and enjoyment) with a double sized bath, large open plan shower, two hand basins and a separate loo (not to mention a hairdryer).

All fine linen, towels, crockery, cutlery, braaiwood, charcoal, firelighters, tongs and grids are supplied. Other facilities include a lapa, pool as well as a braai (BBQ) area in a very tranquil sub tropical lush garden setting. The Kingfisher is fully serviced daily. Whilst the Kingfisher sleeps 2 people any balance of your party on a self catering basis (up to 10 people) would be accommodated in the adjacent Luxury King Suites each with their own private en-suite bathrooms making for supreme comfort. BREAKFAST & DINING For those staying on a Bed & Breakfast basis a sumptuous breakfast is served on the verandah amongst the trees at the Main Lodge. Our breakfasts are known to cause our guests to "skip" lunch ... You won't lose out should you be doing an early morning safari as we provide you with a breakfast hamper to keep you going. As we are on the Lowveld Gourmet Restaurant Route we do not do dinners (why compete) and we encourage our guests to take advantage of the gastronomical delights awaiting you locally all within 5 kms radius of us. Summerfields, Olivers and Salt are just 3 award winning restaurants on the Lowveld Gourmet Restaurant Route. ATTRACTIONS & ACTIVITIES As Blue Jay Lodge is centrally located in Hazyview, Mpumalanga and on the edge of Kruger National Park where you can see the Big 5, an early morning safari game drive is within easy reach. Phabeni Gate is a mere 10 minute drive away and Kruger Gate a 30 minute drive away. The wonders of the Lowveld Panorama Route and the sights of God’s Window, Blyde River Canyon, Bourke’s Luck Potholes, The Pinnacle and Pilgrims Rest are all within day trip tour distance from this very central location. For the more adventurous there are a variety of other activities in the area including abseiling, river rafting, horse-riding, elephant riding, aerial cable rides, hiking trails, microliting, as well as hot air ballooning. For the avid golfer, there are two excellent golf courses nearby. We can assist with advice as well as bookings where needed on any of these attractions and activities. |
