Detailed Reviews
Just fabulous, a hidden gem and incredible value for money! We had 2 wonderful nights in this paradise. The guesthouse is nestled in the Nelspruit town, with beautiful views and a complete feeling of peace. The bedrooms and bathrooms are clean and well maintained. There is no load shedding and the breakfasts are served on the stoep. This is the perfect place to recharge or just sitting under the stars. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind! We enjoyed our stay with our fantastic hosts, DC and Annelize.

Very beautiful guest house and surroundings. The room is spacious enough so you don't feel claustrophobic. I love that there is a table just outside the room, so that you can sit outside and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Can't wait to visit you again!

This lodge has the most beautiful garden. It is almost if your are in paradise when walking through this garden with it's many "rooms"made by nature itself and created with love by the owners. Annelize was the perfect hostess and she went out of her way to made our stay perfect and memorable. The room was clean and fresh with lots of special touches, like the beautiful embroidered linen and orchid on the dress table. The private deck at every room was a bonus and the view over the city breathtaking. This is the absolute perfect place to stay if you love a quiet place with all the facilities that you need and the feeling that you are in nature itself. I will definitely stay at this place again when visiting Nelspruit and can recommend this beautiful and very special guest house to everybody.

Attended the Intre high in Witrivier before going to Kruger for a couple of days. Received a map after doing the booking and Maps took me straight to the gate at the end of the road called Lost Trail, easy as you please. What gem of a road and a place. A luxury abode awaits you in in nature like you can not believe. No city noise, just nature in town close to anything and everything. The wow factor does not stop with the road, it continues with the layout and experience. I was late in arriving from a function and Annelize was sure to meet me with a smile. Don't miss the opportunity to experience this gem if you need to stay one night or a couple of days. You will be thinking and talking about it for a long time.

The owners are VERY racist. The lady made a joke about a burnt toast - saying it looks like”new South Africa - Black South Africa…
We were racially profiled. We were discriminated and we were looked down upon lol.

He recently stayed at Lost Trail B&B, and although only had a 1 night stay - Lost Trail treated us like family. Their heart warming service and breakfast was over and above our expectation. Their facilities - like their beautiful pool and braai area was enjoyed by our whole family. Thank you DC and Annelize for the stay. We'll see you soon.

Beautiful place with exotic looking swimming pool. The owners are a delight. No need to go down town for dinner or a drink, it is well possible here. Certainly a relaxing environment. The route is well indicated.
