Andrew is South African born and bred, lived in the area until his 20's then spent time in Mozambique working and then moved to Cape Town, where we met. I was born in Germany to a British Army Family. As a child I traveled A LOT, went to many different schools, so was pretty much thrown into meeting new people every couple of years. I expect this is why I enjoy communication and people. We have a good knowledge of our area, especially the Kruger National Park, so we can help our guests with places to visit. We love to travel locally and enjoy the Kruger National Park (even though we don't go as often as we would like. Mozambique and Swaziland are also favorites (being so close). I personally believe that we live in the best part of South Africa, the weather is good, the people are great, the landscape is stunning, what more could one want.

Hectorspruit is a quiet mixed diverse neighborhood. Is a small community, where most people know each other. We have a local butcher, off licence and a small convenience shop with a take away section (classic South African 'slap chips', fish and Sausage). The famous Buffalo Hotel is a 5 min walk from the cottage, here is a Bar and restaurant. Yes, you can walk here, the area is safe. You can bring your bikes and cycle the area (that is a popular hobby here).
