Traveller reviews

“One of the most spectacular place have ever stayed at.”
28 Apr 2025
This lodge is absolutely spectacular and very unique. Xavier, the owner, is phenomenal. Peter and I had great discussions with him. Lots of fun and laughter. He is an extremely interesting person. Superb food. Great surroundings. The "golden wildebeests" and the "kissing giraffe" on the property are very special. Noteworthy are the 1928 Bugatti and the Triumph motorcycle in the living room. There are vintage cars all over the property. I have never seen a more interesting place like the Hippomoon Lodge. As a world traveller I must admit that this is one of the most spectacular, interesting and fun place I have ever stayed at. Highly recommendable!!!!!! Thanks Xavier!

Our stay at Xavier's Hippo Moon Lodge was absolutely amazing, more than a stay, it was an experience. With great reviews and ratings so high, my partner and I were curious about the place - and we were so glad for the decision. Xavier, who we read so much about, is one of a kind in person. Entertaining, funny, wise and with life stories and experiences for days. We got amazing up close with his giraffe, and other game animals, and his army of loving dogs. The guesthouse itself is a work of art, with exquisite designs, artifacts, classic cars, and architecture in each room. We had the most amazing hospitality, food, and famous 5 course dinners cooked by Xavier himself. Our friends visiting Hoepsruit, also got to meet Xavier, and have an amazing dinner. All in all, this was the most memorable weekend we have had, and we hope to visit again. Thank you Xavier, Patricia, Pretty and the team HippoMoon- hope many more people get to have magic times at your lodge.

“Best Stay Ever!”

Let me be clear. I loved staying here! The HOSPITALITY??? Top tier. Xavier, Patricia, Patrick, Chantelle. It’s like we were visiting our estranged eccentric, rich uncle’s family. Home away from home. We met some amazing people who were also staying there and the staff facilitated our acquaintance effortlessly. The food? Xavier & Patricia cook the food and it was nothing short of amazing. Every single day. I particularly enjoyed the soup Patricia made as well as the pasta and sweet desserts Xavier spent hours making. I actually don’t know how they do it with such little staff. We genuinely felt at home and ALL our needs (& wants) were accommodated for. We even booked one more night and felt sad when we had to leave. Also… if they recommend an activity - DO IT!!! The eccentric interiors? What a sight! Everyday we were finding something new in the house to marvel at. lol. Thoughtfulness in every piece. Some of the art pieces were handmade by Xavier. Please read the reviews and look at the pictures to ensure you know what you are getting yourself into. We booked the castle and we could be secluded from other guests and still had the choice of joining in on the festivities in the main house. I am a dog lover and I was in heaven. Friendly dogs everywhere ready for belly rubs. Animals everywhere around the property. I could go on and on but we will definitely be back. I wish I could share more photos.

We loved everything and wished we could have stayed longer. There was no 11 to rate this place so we gave it a 10. Xavier and Patricia are awesome guests and make you feel at home. The reserve is incredible with animals at your doorstep. The Lodge is stunning and extremely well decorated and the food incredible. Thanks for everything - we will be back !
