About Retreat @ Bushveld Bivouac

Bushveld Bivouac offers stunning, fully serviced, off-the-grid, self-catering accommodation in Hoedspruit amongst the abundant birdlife and majestic flora, on an easily accessible 300-hectare farm with a wide range of plains game. Guests will enjoy magnificent views, unspoilt bush and beautiful amenities when booking the accommodation at Bushveld Bivouac in Mica, 30km from Hoedspruit.

Self Catering Accommodation

If you're more of a "four brick walls around you" kind of person, looking for a bolthole to write your next book or simply keen to experience a weekend getaway or longer stay in a cute cottage surrounded by pristine bush, then our Bushveld Bivouac Cottage Retreat is for you.

Retreat is a lovely open-plan cottage furnished with a Queen-size bed and has an en-suite bathroom fitted with a shower, toilet and basin. The kitchen is fully equipped with a 2-plate stove, bar fridge and a dining area. The cottage opens onto a shaded stoep with a swimming pool, fire pit and loungers. Free Wi-Fi is provided.

The Retreat is exquisitely decorated in a multitude of greens, soft encompassing pure cotton linens and interesting art pieces.

A delightful exterior will beckon you to sit and relax on the veranda at the table. Enjoy the charm of the plunge pool in summer with its "afdak", comfortable lounger and open-to-the-call-of-the-wild outside shower, warm your feet by the fire at the braai/fire pit area in winter, and revel in the sound of giraffe, wildebeest, zebra or nyala as they rustle in the surrounding bush in the dark of night to the occasional call of lions from nearby Balule.

Fully off the grid, The Retreat has the added advantage of being just a few minutes from our main gate and therefore within easy access of the R40 arterial road for early morning excursions to any of the world-renowned local tourist attractions.

Optional Food / Shopping options

Complimentary fresh coffee, teas, sugar, creamer and rusks are provided and pastries and freshly squeezed juices can be delivered to the site by arrangement for an additional fee. Even though the sites are self-catering, as an extra at an additional cost, food shopping can be done on clients' behalf and delicious pre-prepared meals can be ordered, as well as a mouth-watering picnic basket for a day excursion.

Activities and Attractions

The reserve is 20 minutes from Hoedspruit, 40 minutes from Phalaborwa Gate and just over an hour from Orpen Gate, both of which are entrances into the Kruger National Park; and within easy access of a wide range of fascinating tourist activities including the Blyde River Canyon and God's Window, Moholoholo Rehabilitation Centre, Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre, Jessica the Hippo, Hoedspruit Reptile Centre, Bourke's Potholes, Three Sisters, craft breweries and gin tasting, HERD Elephant Orphanage, various craft shops and restaurants.
