Tranquil area to visit if you want to get out and see something else around Mbombela. You will need a vehicle with a bigger ground clearance to get there though
Immense love and attention to detail has gone into Kokiville. It is quirky and unique. We have stayed in the bus Patsy and in the Boxes and have enjoyed the tasteful decor and all the little extras that Janine and Gavin so generously provide . The units even have olive oil and sweeties on the bed and a games box . I love the house plants in the rooms and all the special touches. Fabulous value for money . The snail trail is special as is the food garden with all the interesting unusual fruit. It is peaceful and private with a lovely bushveld feel . Definitely worth spending more than one night here
Perfect location for a break-away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the TeePee tent
We saw this place on facebook and managed to make a booking online from Kasane - Botswana. What attracted us to this place was the unique accomo types they have specifically the bus and boxes. Also the owners are so friendly and are the ones whoa assisted us with information about shuttle services as there is no Uber in Nelspruit. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back and explore the tent and the tree house (currently under construction). The place is accessible, with wifi and hot water always.
First stay - Box 1:Kokiville Homestead is a very special place. The hosts, Gavin and Jeanine have built, and offer a truly unique experience to those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and experience the homestead lifestyle in comfort and style.We recently spent a weekend in the "boxes" - remarkably well appointed container units with absolutely everything you need and more. The decor is beautiful and the surrounds even more so.Highly recommended as a tranquil weekend away in the natural beauty of the Nelspruit bush with plenty to learn and experience should you wish to explore.--------------------------------------------------------Fourth Stay: The TipiYes, were back again!How could we not be after the three glorious trips to Kokiville.This weekend we moved from our standing favorite, the pet friendly - "Box 1" and ventured deeper into the bush landing up at the perfect little Oasis that is the Tipi!Our stay in this very unique, comfortable and exciting space over the Easter weekend was very special.We loved the views and wide open spaces. The intrigue and excitement of staying in a Tipi carried through the entire 5 night stay and kept us absolutely enthralled. As is their (Gavin and Janine) signature, the unit is well through out, stylish, comfortable and filled with all you need to have a comfortable stay.The weekend was filled with bon fires, naps, reading books again (when alst did you have time for that!?) Quality time with both, our family, but also with our hosts who, over our many visits to Kokiville (4) have become very close friends!We can't wait to be back again soon.Patsy, we have our eye on you! 🚐
Kokiville is an absolute gem and we would highly recommend choosing any of the beautiful rooms here for your next stay!We were so lucky and grateful to find this accommodation when we ran the Elands Valley Marathon in March 2024. We booked the boxes, Patsy and the Tipi.We'd rate 5 Stars for everything:- The location is absolutely beautiful and super convenient very close to nearby shops and amenities and easy to access;- The accommodation itself is exquisitely designed and luxuriously furnished, staying there really is a treat;- The hosts are totally divine, very kind and caring, they really went the extra mile;- Your money goes a long way in terms of the value you get back (off the grid, fresh milk the fridge, biscuits & coffee pods too!);- & By staying here you're supporting a really cool couple's retirement dream, people who care about the environment and who are staying to make SA work.We look forward to visiting again hopefully in the near future!
We thought that the scenic location is the prize, little did we know that the hosts Janine and Gavin would become a family away from home for us! We hosted an event here in the first week in September with the pinnacle of it being conversing on changing the trajectory of our country’s future, the warmth received and amazing thought-through accommodation setting much of the tone we needed for this experience. We stayed in the Patsy bus, an absolute treat and luxury-on-wheels.Looking forward to our next stay here and future events we will collaborate on with Kokiville! 🥂
