    The host was very friendly and was there to welcome us on arrival even though it was late. She even remade the beds for us quickly when she discovered we weren't a couple but father and son.

Zyta Dietz
Nightjar Guest Lodge only has 2 guest rooms so it's quiet and peaceful. The lodge is on a 6 hectare plot in the suburbs of Nelspruit/Mbombela. Being so close to town and yet feeling like you're in the bush is what makes this lodge so unique. Both rooms are tastefully decorated with practicality in mind. The Garden Room has recently been upgraded to include a bath and air conditioner for your comfort.
My name is Zyta and I look forward to welcoming you. My family and I live in the main house so I'm available for any queries and advice you may need.
We are surrounded by Lowveld bush so you'll feel very close to nature.
