Sunset Sanctuary on the Olifants – Contemporary Living, Timeless Beauty

Available for a long term rental, not furnished


Here, on the tranquil banks of the Olifants River in the heart of Umfula, life slows to the rhythm of the wild.
Each evening, as the sun dips low and spills molten gold across the water, this home becomes a front-row seat to one of Africa’s most breathtaking performances.

The home rises gently from the riverbank, its architecture woven into the branches like a natural extension of the Bushveld. Multi-tiered wooden decks wrap around the residence, capturing the breeze, the birdsong, and the shimmering reflections of the river below. Whether you’re sipping morning coffee or watching the evening fade into violet dusk, the views here are endlessly alive.

Step inside and the poetry continues. Light pours through generous windows, dancing across vaulted ceilings and warm timber beams. The open-plan kitchen—sleek, modern, and crafted for gathering—stands at the centre of the home, its island inviting conversation during lingering meals and slow Sundays.

The living spaces flow effortlessly outward, dissolving the boundaries between inside and out, between everyday life and a permanent holiday.

Three tranquil bedrooms each offer their own private retreat, complete with en-suite bathrooms designed for comfort and calm.

A dedicated scullery keeps the heart of the home serene and uncluttered.

Beyond the threshold, outdoor living unfolds as an experience of its own:

• A firepit and braai space welcome laughter under star-strewn skies
• A welcoming plunge pool faces the river, where the night air carries the distant grunt of hippos
• Expansive decks rise and fall with the landscape, perfect for sundowners or sunrise solitude
• Two covered parking bays complete the picture of convenience within nature

Set within Umfula’s secure, well-established share block estate—once known as Hippo Pools—this home offers the rare privilege of year-round living in a wildlife-rich paradise. Hippo, crocodile, kudu, nyala, duiker, jackal, hyena, impala, warthog and the occasional wandering elephant share this land as their own.

Air conditioning ensures comfort when the Lowveld heat rises, while a borehole adds water independence. And yes—your pets are welcome here, too.

Only 20 km from Hoedspruit yet worlds apart in spirit, this property is more than a residence. It is a retreat, a refuge, a place where the river writes its story into your everyday life.
