Our privately owned self catering guest house is set in the award winning 4 Star Hans Merensky Golf Resort bordering on the Kruger National Park Phalaborwa, South Africa. Here you are offered an opportunity to play golf in the wild, go on safari, swim in your private pool under the African trees or relax on your patio while you watch animals go by. Kokobela meaning “Humble” is how you will feel spending some time in the African Bush, It`s truly a humbling experience.

The luxury thatched guest house is cleverly positioned to the side of the 7th fairway, blending into its surroundings allowing its occupants to feel at peace as part of nature. There is abundant birdlife, free roaming Impala, warthog, giraffe and other animals all around.

The kitchen, lounge and dining areas all walk out onto the outside pool patio which is only a few paces away from the 7th fairway. Half of the patio is covered by thatch and the other half is open which provide the perfect spot for sunbathing next to the private swimming pool which is cut into the patio. This is probably where youll spend most of your time when you`re not playing golf or out on Safari.

The dining area has a 10-seater wooden table. The fully equipped kitchen houses everything you would expect: an oven and hob with extractor fan, large fridge-freezer, microwave, toaster, kettle, etc. With plenty storage space and granite work surfaces throughout. There is a separate, out of view, scullery which houses a dish washer, washing machine and tumble dryer.

For your convenience a daily cleaning service is provided at no additional cost. There is no need to fuss over cleaning the braai (barbeque) yourself either as it will be cleaned for you as part of the daily service.
