Escape to the Bushveld with Phomola Manor 

While today Phomola Manor is an exclusive Big 5 holiday home welcoming travellers from South Africa and beyond to experience the beauty of Limpopo, its origins were humble to say the least. Over thirty years ago, the story of the Manor began in the heart of Mr. Venter and a simple green shed. 

Over time, with lots of sweat and love, this modest home was transformed into a destination offering authentic bushveld experiences. With open borders to the famous Kruger National Park, guests are invited to embark on a private, off-the-grid luxury experience in the heart of the bushveld at Phomola Manor. 

Experience the Bushveld in Style at Phomola Manor

Guests at the manor house are greeted by the stunning beauty of the Grietjie Private Nature Reserve and the Balule Private Nature Reserve. As both reserves continue to create the pathways that allow Phomola Manor to greet its visitors, guests can sit back and unwind from the stresses of daily life. Here, the sound of nature set the pace, and one of the four air-conditioned bedrooms becomes home.   

Each of the four available rooms has been specially designed to ensure a comfortable and luxurious stay for even the most discerning traveller. Every room features an en-suite bathroom as well as thoughtfully added details such as tea and coffee stations, streaming TVs for effortless movie nights, mini-fridges to quench thirsts, and soft percale bedding, sending every guest into a state of absolute bliss.   

Two of the bedrooms are located inside the manor, allowing for easy access to communal areas and help from management. Meanwhile, the other two are semi-detached, opening onto the deck, infinity pool and a braai area. While guests usually book these rooms separately, the team at Phomola allows guests to book the manor for exclusive use, allowing for a perfect family-friendly bushveld holiday.

Facilities and Activities for Everyone 

Whilst staying at the luxurious manor, guests are welcome to make use of the stellar facilities and amenities. From the elevated viewing deck and its infinity pool, large herds of elephants have been spotted during their journey to the nearby waterhole nestled outside the main entrance. Guests are also welcome to craft delicious meals together within the fully equipped kitchen and the outdoor braai area.   

At Phomola Manor, one cannot forget about the bounty of activities. Enjoy the splash pool or treatments at the Grietjie spa. Game drives, birdwatching and hot air balloon rides have also remained popular among past guests.

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!
