We stayed at Timamoon for 3 nights, at Moon River 1 night too long. I enjoyed the stay, however, I would say I a little claustrophobic with attention to my service needs, a little too much like Steford Wives for me. Timamoon is a secluded and upmarket property near Hazyview and the Kruger National Park. What I loved most was... More

We hadn't done an awful lot of research before we came here - the photos on the website looked good and it was near Blyde River Canyon so we thought it would fit the bill. To say we were blown away with what we found would be an understatement! The journey was arduous as we arrived just after the bad... More

My husband decided to spoil me with a long weekend to Timamoon for my birthday last month. Who would have thought that such a place existed in the heart of Mpumalanga on the banks of the Sabie River. Getting there can be a little daunting due to it's remoteness, especially if you're not used to driving on narrow dirt roads,... More

Thank you for your very positive review and I am delighted to read that you plan to return. I am glad that you made the point about the pictures truly representing the rooms because so many people are so sceptical as to whether they will really get what is shown on the website. I am sorry about the few glitches... More

Thanks for your most generous comments. It is always very special and rewarding when we read a review like yours. You seemed to have experienced Timamoon just the way we intended you too, lots of romance in an atmosphere that is a little different from the ordinary.

The view from our villa was breathtaking. The villa is exceptional and very spacious. Dinner was beautifully presented and the bar is really special. Breakfast the following morning was outstanding. We really enjoyed hiking to the river and taking a swim. All the villas are very private and super romantic. More

This is an amazing place, a fantastic getaway in the heart of an area that must be explored. It is super private and the cuisine and hospitality is fantastic. A weekend is just too short to get the best of it. The restaurant is always a big thing at these places and the chef at Timamoon went the extra mile... More

Thanks for wonderful review and I agree with you, the area around Timamoon just has to be explored! The views are spectacular and The Blyde River Canyon has to be one of the most beautiful scenic drive in South Africa! Mpumalanga is one of the best kept secrets in South Africa as there is so much to see and experience.... More

The pictures of endless views and breathtaking scenery do not fully do justice to Timamoon. It is in a truly stunning location, almost within reach of heaven, and Moon River has the most dramatic vistas across the tree clad hills down to the gurgling Sabie River. The rim flow pool and day bed and private tropical terraced gardens that surround... More

Thanks for the wonderful review it was an absolute delight to read. You certainly captured the essence of Timamoon with the detailed description of the setting. We are often asked the question, yes, but is Timamoon really as nice as the pictures on the website? I think you answered that for us! The door with the "kickplate" is indeed a... More
