Rooms Overview

All rooms at Jock of the Bushveld have a private bathroom with a shower and free toiletries. Some rooms include a kitchen with a fridge. The Business Twin Room is adequate for an overnight road trip, while the Chalet offers a clean and well-maintained space. Note that beds in the Chalet are uncomfortable, and the property has only one class of room despite multiple listings on Booking.com.

Dining Options

The on-site restaurant serves special diet menus, kids' meals, and wine or champagne. Breakfast and dinner are available, but the food quality can be poor: one guest described the schnitzel as tough and covered in congealed cheese sauce, with pale undercooked chips. The bar offers drinks and TV screens to watch rugby. A coffee house is also on site.

Leisure & Entertainment

The property features a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, a garden with outdoor furniture and a picnic area, a children's playground, and evening entertainment like live music and sport events. A golf course is nearby. Guests can also use BBQ facilities and enjoy happy hour at the bar.

Location & Transport

Jock of the Bushveld is set in Barberton, 36 km from Mbombela Stadium and 10 km from Barberton Game Reserve. It is 13 km from the Barberton Garden of Remembrance and 54 km from Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport. Free parking and accessible parking are available.

Services & Amenities

Services include free Wi-Fi, non-smoking and family rooms, 24-hour security, and daily housekeeping. The property offers private check-in/check-out, a laundry service, and meeting/banquet facilities. It also provides fax/photocopying, ironing, and packed lunches. Note the presence of alarm sensors that can be triggered by opening the front door.

“The comfortable cottages, nestled within beautifully maintained gardens, provide a genuine sense of tranquility, enhanced by the refreshing swimming pool. I found the grounds themselves to be a highlight, with plenty of trees and a surprising amount of birdlife, creating a calm and airy atmosphere. It's a place where you can truly unwind, especially knowing the convenience of Kruger National Park's Malelane gate being a manageable drive away.”
