15 minutes from Kruger National Park's Crocodile Bridge Gate - and the good news is that the bridge has been lifted, so that those flooding blues will be the exception and not the rule!

Lovely cottages tucked away on a litchi and mango farm, 4 km from the town of Komatipoort, and 4 km from the Ressano Garcia/Lebombo borderpost to Mozambique. The property has extensive gardens, with lawns all the way down to the riverfront of the picturesque Komati River. Bird life abounds, with the occasional hippo and crocodile lazing in the river.

The river can also be seen from the Reception desk, where a leisurely breakfast can be enjoyed by guests who do not wish to self cater.  Or lounge at the pool - swimming is possible most of the year, due to our beautifully mild winters.

Board games and guest library are available at Reception. Full generator backup on site.



Doug and Linda Renecle are your hosts, and we endeavour to make you feel right at home with personal attention.

Whilst there are a lot of exciting excursions in the area, such as guided tours into the Kruger Park, Mozambique and Swaziland,  microlight flights, elephant back safaris, horse rides, beautiful golf courses and more, the ultimate goal of Orchards Farm Cottages is to give guests a relaxing break away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

We will obtain quotes for the excursions and book them for you if you would like a bit of adventure.
