Your home base in the heart of Hoedspruit
Three self-catering units under one grand thatched roof — with a sparkling pool, a braai under the trees, and Kruger's Orpen Gate just 69 km up the road.
A family-run stay, the old-fashioned way
Do-Drop-In is a family-run self-catering guesthouse in the heart of Hoedspruit. Three comfortable units form part of our large thatched-roof home at 76 Duiker Street — each with its own fully equipped kitchen, so you can come and go as you please. Cool off in the pool, light the braai as the sun sets, and fall asleep under a real Lowveld thatch roof. Kruger National Park and the Blyde River Canyon are both an easy drive away, and the shops and restaurants of Hoedspruit are a short walk from the front gate.
Family-run warmth
Hosted by Jan & Bets for over a decade. Guests say it feels like staying with family.
Self-catering freedom
Every unit has its own kitchen, braai access and undercover parking. Your stay, your schedule.
The safari gateway
69 km to Kruger's Orpen Gate, 76 km to Phalaborwa Gate — with the Blyde on your doorstep.
Three units. One big thatched roof.
Unit 1 · Ground Floor
No stairs, king-size comfort, and a lounge with its own bar counter.
Unit 2 · Upstairs Loft
A spacious open-plan loft under the thatch — a favourite with couples.
Unit 3 · Upstairs Loft
Flexible beds and room for the whole crew beneath the A-frame.
Pool, braai, repeat
After a day at Kruger or the Canyon, come home to a swim and a braai under the trees. The pool and braai area are shared by all three units — and there's undercover parking for two vehicles, so the bakkie stays out of the sun too.
Between the Kruger and the Canyon
Do-Drop-In sits in the heart of Hoedspruit town — the shops and restaurants are a short walk from the front gate.
