This was an amazing experience outside of city life. The accommodation is well equipped with insect repellents to make your stay even that more comfortable. The scenery is beautiful and the unique stays are romantic, cozy and intimate. Definitely will be back again. This could definitely be our Valentines Day home 🥰🥰

The place is amazing if you just want to recoup, it’s in the bushes. The experience was very amazing. Patsy is amazing. My partner and I had an amazing stay. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming, always available for any assistance required. Very friendly! I highly recommend

Excellent attention to detail, perfect natural ambience, friendly staff and a feeling of total relaxation. Patsy is a winner! 😀

My mom and I stayed at Kokiville Homestead for one night to celebrate her birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience! We stayed in "Patsy," the stunningly converted old school bus, which was cozy and comfortable with a touch of luxury. It is equipped with a double bed, en-suite bathroom, and kitchenette. Some of the highlights of our stay were the food garden, where we picked and ate some juicy figs, exploring the property’s charming footpaths, known as the Snail Trail, the sensory garden at night with all it's cute solar garden lights & wind chimes and the enchanting Fairy Garden! We had SO much fun searching for all the hidden fairies scattered throughout the garden. The creativity and detail put into the experience were truly magical! Despite our best efforts, there was one fairy we couldn’t find—even after going back the next morning to look again. But it gives us a reason to return, as we are determined to complete our fairy hunt! The hosts, Gavin and Janine's passion for nature and self-sufficient living was evident throughout the property, and their hospitality and our interesting conversations made our stay even more memorable. The peaceful bushveld setting, complete with stunning views and the sounds of nature, made it a perfect retreat. Despite its serene setting, it is situated just 10 minutes away from Nelspruit and easily accessible with any vehicle. I HIGHLY recommend Kokiville Homestead for anyone looking for a unique and rejuvenating getaway, it was honestly my best 'sleepover' ever! I can't wait to come back for another visit—both to relax and to solve the mystery of the missing fairy!

WOW Candice, thank you, what a beautiful review. It was wonderful to have you and your Mom here!
I really need to find that cheeky fairy! I will let you know when I do!

It makes such a difference when we have guests that immerse themselves in Kokiville and discover the little surprises we have curated for our amazing guests. Thank you for exploring and for making our hearts SO full!

We loved staying in the tipi — a real camping experience but with more creature comforts (including great WiFi) and no need to pitch a tent! We loved the incredible views, the amazing birds, the vegetation, the outdoor bath, and the lovely walks. Janine and Gavin are wonderful hosts and have created something truly special with Kokiville. Do be prepared for extreme heat in summer — the tent includes a big fan but I recommend bringing a handheld fan, lots of cold drinks, and a cooler box with plenty of ice 😅

Thank you for this lovely review Heather! It was so good having you stay with us! We loved spending some time with you and Thorsten! Thank you for adding to our picture collection! WE love to see the things that guests find interesting. The Tipi is not an easy space to take pictures of inside but you have done a great job! Thank you!
It was an absolute pleasure having you here!

Out of the ordinary experience. A great place to go to for peace and quiet, literally be one with nature. The hosts are friendly. Really enjoyed my stay.

We had a great stay! The snail trail is such an amazing added bonus. You can see a lot of hard work and love went into the whole small-holding. The bus was very clean and neat and had everything we needed and more. Would definitely recommend to our family and friends and visit again when we are in the area.

Tony 2024.12.24

Janine and Gavin were the best host,they explained everything clearly and it was a peaceful sleep ,very safe and beautiful,we will definitely recommend this place and we are going to try the other places they host

Nomathemba 2024.12.23

This place is magical, Janine and Gavin are one of the most amazing hosts ever come across. The place is an adventurers dream home, it’s peaceful safe and structured yet freeing. It’s beautiful inside and out, quirky and functional. In summery it’s a resting place for the soul, we left feeling so renewed and rejuvenated. Everyone should experience Patsy at least once in their life.

Koos 2024.12.20

Great place retreat and take in the wonders of nature.

Thabiso 2024.12.15

Janine and Gavin were the warmest of hosts. The Pasty (Bus) offered sublime furnishing with intricacies that allowed intimacy in a small but freeing space. The environment itself was natures tapestry. If you want to know why the beginning of man kind was in a garden. Visit. If you are looking for an escape from everything else in life. Visit. If you want a unique and intimate experience visit. You’d love it. I know my partner and I sure loved it.

Busi 2024.12.08

We were at the bus for my husband's surprise birthday and he was pleasantly surprised. We loved the entire experience, the place sparks creativity without even trying, it bring peace and tranquility. We will definitely do it again, with the kids next time! we really loved the experience, and the birds singing is beautiful 😍. Definitely 10/10.

Nondumiso 2024.12.06

Janine. Thank you. My friend and I found your place to be cosy and thank you for your quick responses when we communicated with you.

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

Reply from Kokiville Homestead 2024.10.21

Thank you for the review! Amazingly enough we have had many guests with low vehicles like Audi TT, Ford Mustang, Chevy Spark. In fact most of our guests have very normal cars. We hope to see you again at one of our events!

Sanele 2024.09.22

The bus is so clean and aesthetically pleasing 😍the pink theme stood out for me. The hosts are so friendly,made us feel welcomed.However I am not a dog person,so was a little uncomfortable when taking a walk
