All rooms are en suite and have air con and mini bars and tea/coffee ,making facilities. Golf, fishing, horse riding, elephant back and microlight safaris are all available locally too! There are a million reasons to stay here! Trees Too Guest Lodge is situated in the quiet border town of Komatipoort which lies between the rivers Komati (meaning river of cows - or hippos) and Crocodile (no explanation required!) The Crocodile River forms the southern boundary of the World renowned Kruger National Park. We lie just one km from the KNP fence and a mere ten minutes drive to Crocodile Bridge Gate. Even closer is the Lebombo border post for crossings into sun-kissed Mozambique. Both the Mananga and Jeppe’s Reef borders with the Kingdom of Swaziland are just an hour away. On top of these obvious attractions, Mpumalanga’s Wild Frontier is rich in available activities from good restaurants to micro-light flights, elephant back safaris to quad biking – the choice is yours. We are an intimate eight room, owner run guest house and we pride our-selves on the warmth of our welcome and personal touch with our guests. Our breakfasts are outstanding and we serve excellent evening meals by arrangement. Our ‘honesty’ bar is a relaxing way to while away an evening. We are always happy to provide advice or ongoing travel arrangements. We really want you to enjoy your stay. Break your journey at our oasis and let us offer you, Restful pause from all that life demands you do. Here people make you welcome, as you are people too; The African approach to living understood as Ubuntu. Perhaps enjoy some fine food, good wine, a conversation. Let your stay in our garden lend your soul regeneration. A microscopic paradise for all who pass on through, With swaying fronds of royal palm trees too. Accommodation Komatipoort is one of the warmest towns in South Africa – with this in mind, all of our guest rooms enjoy air-conditioning and six of the eight are under cooling thatch. All of our rooms have stocked mini-bar fridges and private entrances. We have room formats to satisfy most requirements: Rooms 1 and 2 are double rooms under thatch with en-suite shower rooms and covered stoep areas. Room 3 is a family room with a double and single bed with a shower over bath, Room 4 is a popular family room sleeping up to six people in a, double bed, two singles and full sized bunk beds and serviced by an en-suite shower room. Room 5 is a double bedroom enjoying a beautiful pool outlook and en-suite shower room. Room 6 is a twin with pool outlook and a hand held shower over bath, Room 7 has a beautiful four-poster bed and indulgent slipper bath in the en-suite bathroom. For those with friends or family in tow there is an adjacent bunk bed room to sleep two. Room 8 also enjoys a four-poster bed with a single bed sofa and has a luxurious slipper bath and separate shower. Most of our rooms are laid out around the sparkling pool which provides a centrepiece to the Trees Too oasis. Our tropical gardens are dominated by more than twenty beautiful royal palm trees which rustle coolingly in the Summer breezes. Trees Too, and the Lowveld generally, are best enjoyed out of doors: for this reason we have not cluttered our bedrooms with televisions. There is however a comfortable, communal TV lounge with DSTV for the sports, news or soapie addicts, along with magazines and a small library in several languages and a variety of games. Guests should note that we employ a no-smoking policy in all of our rooms. Security is not a big issue in the quiet village of Komatipoort, but our spacious car park is secured by an automated gate and has ample room for boats, trailers and the like. The perimeter of Trees Too is protected by a state of the art security system. Food and Drink Trees Too is fully licensed and as our honesty bar lacks any form of door, it is open whenever you want to use it. To set you up for the day ahead, our sumptuous breakfasts consist of a cold buffet of fruits, cereals, cheeses, juices, cold meats, yogurts and toast followed by eggs, bacon, sausage, tomato, beans and mushrooms, cooked to order. All this comes with as much tea and coffee as you can drink, so you shouldn’t leave us hungry. Substantial picnic breakfasts are available for those making an early start. We provide evening meals by prior arrangement and produce an eclectic range of cuisine from Impala Curry and Kudu Stew to Fillet Steak and Bobotie. As former vegetarians we are adept at catering for non-meat-eaters – but who wants to be bottom of the food chain in Africa? We stock a selection of decent South African wines to complement our food or simply to enjoy by the pool. If, unthinkably, you tire of our cooking or, quite possibly, we are having a night away from the stove then Komatipoort abounds with decent places to eat varying from a five minute walk to a fifteen minute drive away. For sizeable parties we are happy to produce one of our highly regarded braais by arrangement. Please note, however that Trees Too is not a self catering facility.
