Discover Hoedspruit and surrounds

An exclusive base for exploring the bush from a sophisticated town retreat.

A Retreat for the Curious and Cultured

In many African cultures, the fig tree is more than just a tree—it’s a gathering place, a protector, and a source of sustenance. Khiwane embraces this essence, creating timeless yet distinctly modern spaces blending African artistry and contemporary chic.  

Located in Hoedspruit’s most happening precinct, Khiwane is a sanctuary from which to explore this growing town and its surrounding nature reserves, including the world-famous Kruger National Park. 

The solar-powered hotel is surrounded by spas, restaurants, exciting boutiques, art galleries, padel courts and more within easy walking distance. It’s just a 10-minute drive to safari areas where lions and elephants roam and close to the iconic Blyde River Canyon, and its various adventure activities, from helicopter flips to scenic mountain hikes. 

A chic hideaway in the heart of Hoedspruit

Our boutique hotel is the perfect base for exploring all Hoedspruit and the Lowveld offers: wellness, wildness, adventure, great food and luxury living.
