What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
Timamoon is a gorgeous sexy hideaway set high up in the hills and surrounded by forests and close to the Kruger Park & Blyderiver Canyon.. Each of the luxurious Moroccan and Zanzibar styled lodges are romantic and private, with mosquito net draped four-poster beds, large fireplaces and baths to float away in. From your private pool, there are endless views of the distant mountains and the valley where the Sabie River flows and Longcrested eagles ride the afternoon thermals. Superb food is served by renowned chefs in an exotic candle-lit restaurant built on stilts alongside a small pond and overlooking a tropical garden. Dinners end in the lounge with its own magical ambience. Everyone should experience a few tropical nights at Timamoon at least once in their lives.
We loved it and it was perfect for us that after a few weeks travelling around SA to have some relaxation in a really secluded place which this is so if you go here prepare yourself to stay here because you do not want to drive here when it is dark cause the road is like nothing you have ever seen before if you are visiting from overseas, I promise. Staff absolutely out of this world and the food brilliant and I would say that some of the dishes could easily fit in on a restaurant aiming for Guide Michelin. Buildings are full of details that you could spend your day looking at and tha main house is just gorgeous.

Booked a romantic 2 day package to celebrate my wife’s birthday and Timamoon did everything as promised and more. On arrival the welcome drinks and champagne of choice were ready, and our Villa (Bombay Moon) was out of a magazine beautiful. We had a private dinner on night one and the attention to detail and food was superb. Day two we enjoyed some massages in the the Villa by two very professional and skilled therapists and then had a picnic by the river. We ended the night with a private dinner and movie evening - absolutely amazing. Breakfast on both days just superb. Dirk, Jessie and the whole team - you guys are rock stars and thank you for accommodating our date changes due to Covid. To the Chef - superb! This is a must do for any couple.

Please indulge yourself with a stay at Timamoon, Hazyview, South Africa. It is paradise on earth, a magical and wonderful place. Enjoy the magnificent views from your own private swimming pool, the sheer luxury of your individual villa, the tranquility, the top gastronomy, the friendliness of staff. You cannot believe it? Book Timamoon, and see for yourself. And, of course, ask Timamoon to book you a safari drive in Kruger Park. Honestly, you will be blown away by Timamoon. We have never seen anything like it before. The West and the Orient, blended into Africa.

The food, the location, the view, the staff, EVERYTHING was absolutely fabulous!! We are certainly returning. A big thank you to Roy and the rest of the staff attendants for ensuring our stay was nothing less than the best. 5-star rating just doesn't do it justice.

Our 3 night stay at Timamoon is one i will never forget. Their staff was so friendly and catered to anything and everything we needed. The villas are breathtaking with amazing decor collected from all over the world. The meals were world class and i seriously can’t choose a favourite. I would highly recommend the picnic at the waterfall. Timamoon , I can’t wait to visit you again in the near future

Our first trip to South Africa had already been out of this world before we arrived at Timamoon to culminate our holiday, and talk about ending on a high note! WHAT A PLACE! From the curious sculptures at the entrance gate, up through the never ending pink haze of flowers on the long drive, to the glamorous lodges themselves - this whole place is a dream. We stayed at Blue Moon and it was the epitome of luxury. Gorgeous, lush gardens with a private infinity pool overlooking jungle and waterfalls, and beautifully decorated interiors with eclectic collections of objects and artefacts. Everything was perfection - the bubble bath drawn for us and the cold bottle of champagne waiting for us after our first exquisite dinner at the restaurant, the friendly peacocks joining us for breakfast the next morning, the massages, the private picnic by the waterfalls, the cinema night under the stars - even the fragrant handmade soap in the shower. The attention to detail is exquisite and nothing is too much trouble. And the food….!! We haven’t stopped raving about the place since we got back. Hands down the loveliest place we’ve ever stayed. Thanks so much to Dirk, Jessie and all the fabulous team at Timamoon. We can’t wait to come back. Thanks so much, Paul & Clare…

Dear Paul and Clare, Thank you for taking the time to write such a stunning review. It is so great to hear when you enjoy all the finer details the owners spent so much time creating. Its fantastic to see that the food stands out as much as the views and artifacts. We will be sure to let our chefs know they are doing a great job. It was an absolute pleasure having you and it was lovely to be part of your trip to South Africa. We hope to see you again in the not to distant future. Kindest regards

Listen, this place is sexy. the kind of sexy that’s It’s like the excitement of stepping off a speedboat onto a tropical paradise sexy. Every meal was better than the last, and the chalet felt like it came straight from a movie. The infinity pool, overlooking a lush forest valley, made me feel like a blend of George of the Jungle and James Bond, standing above the horizon in a red bathrobe. We enjoyed candlelit bubble baths and surprise champagne by a cozy fireplace. The luxurious golden silk bedding, fresh flowers, and exotic decor added depth to the experience with their intriguing origin stories, connecting us to countless other adventures within our single Timomoon journey. It consistently exceeded our expectations. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wonderful experience, one of a kind. We had such wonderful time in such a beautiful villa with private pool and service was beyond expectations. So much privacy, every wish is possible, breakfast/lunch/dinner on terrace or in the beautiful decorated dining room. Food was als excellent. We plan to come back next year!

Just driving there was a great experience. Upon arrival we received a great welcome from Dirk. Our house was beautifully decorated and the view was breathtaking. Breakfast and dinner were one of the best culinary experiences we have ever had in a hotel. Timamoonlodge was the most beautiful stay for us in South Africa.

Timamoon is amazing in so many aspects that I need to break it down. 1) Location: The location of this lodge is out of the way in Hazyview. The road to Timamoon is a bit rough as it goes through the forest. However, once you arrive, you are transported to your own personal paradise. 2) Accommodations: You have your own lodge. We had the New Moon lodge. It was away from everyone. Extremely private. No neighbors for at least a kilometer. The views were mindboggling. The lodge had everything you needed and more. It was extremely roomy, very romantic, and very comfortable. 3) Staff: Everyone was so friendly and nice. They bent backwards to make you happy and meet your needs. We would be picked up to go eat at the main dining area, and they would deliver anything we wanted after just a phone call. 4) Spa Services and the Bath: When there, get yourself a massage and ask the staff to draw you a bath. It is an experience you will remember for a while. The massage therapists and cosmetologists were wonderful. They use their own hand-made all natural creams for their services. We tried five different spa treatments and each was amazing. Now the Bath was an experience to be had by anyone who feels romantic or just wishes to be in bliss. The staff fills up a jacuzzi sized bath with hot water, flower petals, bath salts, etc., and lights up the whole bathroom with dozens of candles. It was beyond romantic. They even left us a bottle of non-Alcoholic champagne because they knew that my wife doesn't drink alcohol. 5) The food: The food was Michelin Star level, every time. Every meal was spectacular. Even lunch and sandwiches were delicious. The breakfast were over the top every time. To conclude this long review... my wife and I will never Kruger National Park, but we will always remember Timamoon. Thank you, everyone at Timamoon, for the experience!…

Thank you for the incredible review. Happy to hear the drive was worth it, we have since your visit managed to make changes on the road which has made the drive more comfortable after the heavy rainy season we had. Its fantastic to hear that you attempted so many activities on the property and enjoyed each to that extent. We will share your review with the staff and strive to keep the standard you experienced. We hope to have you visit again in the not to distant future. Best regards
