Our stay at Foxy Crocodile Bush Retreat
We just want to thank FOXY CROCODILE Bush RETREAT for the most amazing 4 days we spent there. Absolutely everything was 10/10 the cottage we stayed in was absolutely beautiful, modern, unique, modern, homely. Not only was the place magnificent but our hosts Mark and Gail are wonderful people who went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and happy at all times whether it was lighting our fire so we came home to a warm place, lighting candles or just making sure our place was immaculate and clean at all times! We had wonderful conversations with Gail and Mark they are such interesting people! They really went above and beyond to make our trip great! We even had a couple of animals roaming around the unit such as zebra, wildebeeste and kudu! We absolutely loved our stay! Looking forward to the next time we visit FOXY CROCODILE BUSH RETREAT

Honeymoon
We had our honeymoon at Foxy Crocodile Bush Retreat and Mark and Gail helped to make our memories for life! Attention to detail and the small things made a huge difference. An amazing romantic getaway in the bush! Best of both worlds! We could braai and make our own food and were treated with friendly daily cleaning services. Definitely worth a visit and great value for money!
