    The place was secure and clean. The hosts were exceptionally entertaining. They took my kids on a tour and went in search of the tortoises in the property, my little one remarked that it was like an easter egg hunt. We truly enjoyed out stay.

    The cottage was spacious and well equipped. Airconditioning in both the sleeping rooms. We asked for a late check out because of my elderly mom and the property hat no problem with that. They were extremely kind in every way.

Umsinsi Cottage was added to The Fever Tree Guest House portfolio as a place that families can spend and affordable holiday. The cottage sleeps 4 with the possibility of an extra bed being added to either room. Each bedroom has a television and wi-fi is available in the main complex.
Hluhluwe is a typical small rural South African village. We have a number of supermarkets, banks and general stores as well as two fuel stations. If you are craving bright city lights and endless parties, this is not the place for you. However, if peace and quiet and being near to nature is what you enjoy, this is where you will find it.
