Base your Mpumalanga adventure at Oliver’s Restaurant & Lodge

Olivers Restaurant & Lodge

For passionate golfers seeking the perfect blend of luxury, leisure, and world‑class fairways, Oliver’s Restaurant & Lodge offers an unrivalled experience in the heart of Mpumalanga’s Lowveld.

Surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery, Oliver’s is more than just a boutique lodge—it’s a gateway to some of South Africa’s most celebrated golf courses.

Guests of Oliver’s enjoy privileged access to the prestigious Leopard Creek Golf Course, a name synonymous with excellence and exclusivity.

Designed by Gary Player and located on the edge of the Kruger National Park, Leopard Creek offers a breathtaking round where wildlife sightings are as memorable as the immaculate greens.

Playing here is not just golf—it’s a once‑in‑a‑lifetime encounter with nature and sport at their finest.

Beyond Leopard Creek, Oliver’s is ideally positioned within reach of six exceptional courses in the surrounding area.

From the scenic White River Country Club to the challenging Nelspruit Golf Course, each venue offers its own character and charm, ensuring that every round brings new excitement.

Whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills, enjoy a leisurely game, or embark on a multi‑course golfing holiday, Oliver’s provides the perfect base.

For those wishing to balance time on the fairways with adventure, Oliver’s also offers the option to enjoy a half‑ or full‑day safari in the Kruger National Park, where the Big Five roam freely, or embark on a full‑day Panorama Tour, showcasing breathtaking sights such as God’s Window, Bourke’s Luck Potholes, and the Blyde River Canyon. These excursions allow guests to experience the very best of the Lowveld’s natural wonders alongside their golfing holiday.

Of course, no stay at Oliver’s would be complete without indulging in its renowned restaurant offerings. Guests are treated to a culinary journey that blends European flair with African inspiration, crafted from the freshest local ingredients. Whether it’s a leisurely breakfast before a round of golf, a light lunch on the terrace, or a fine‑dining dinner paired with South Africa’s best wines, every meal at Oliver’s is designed to delight. The warm, inviting atmosphere and attentive service ensure that dining is as memorable as the golf itself.

After a day of sport or exploration, return to Oliver’s to unwind with a rejuvenating massage and relax in elegant accommodations that reflect warmth and sophistication. With its unique combination of luxury hospitality, premier golfing, gourmet cuisine, and unforgettable excursions, Oliver’s truly is a Golfer’s Paradise—a destination where every swing, every bite, and every moment is matched by comfort and style.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
