Stonecrop

Stonecrop Peaceful haven close to the National Kruger Game Park, South Africa These all have fully equipped kitchenettes.

Stonecrop Lodge is an earthy establishment set in natural bushveld surroundings, only minutes away from the Kruger National Park, the Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, White River, Nelspruit and most of the attractions offered by this region. Hundreds of mostly indigenous trees, shrubs and plants were established on Stonecrop over the past seventeen years, providing a restful haven to the w

eary traveller. Mature trees are home to a large number of birds as well as bush babies and occasionally monkeys. We offer comfortable and affordable accommodation in five self-catering rooms called Jelly Beans, Cloud Nine, Gold Moss, Black Jack and recently added Stardust. All the rooms are equipped with a hair dryer, a heater, and either a fridge or a bar fridge as well as beverage making facilities. Butterfly is a charming en-suite garden cottage ideal for the business person needing a room for a night or two.

From our deck, we enjoy an east-facing panorama that is ever-changing; a constantly evolving vista, yet it remains reassuringly familiar. Several months ago, we had some trees removed, which opened up the view and offered a more expansive vista. As the seasons, time of day, and weather shift, the landscape unfolds in new and captivating ways, making us feel so grateful to be surrounded by this awesome landscape. Sunrise is definitely our favourite time to enjoy it... We only wish we could slow down and have more time to appreciate it, because we can never tire of it!

Terpsiphone viridis
Regular Summer Resident of Stonecrop

Pairs of the African Paradise Flycatchers are monogamous and they may even mate for life. They breed in summer, with both sexes working on the construction of the tiny cup-shaped nests using spider web and a variety of other fine natural materials. They are well adapted to riverine and open forests, woodlands or savannah habitats, and are regularly found in cultivated gardens in highly populated areas.

This is only one of 8 types of flycatchers found in our region and is definitely the prettiest of all the flycatchers. Flycatchers are perching (passerine) birds, sitting upright on their short legs on small branches hawking and catching flying insects in mid-air, or darting under foliage to glean tasty prey.

Their diet is not just limited to flies; they will eat many types of insects including beetles, moths, butterflies and various other prey items - even ants or spiders.

Two of these are in our own province!
Long Tom Pass and Schoemanskloof Pass
Two more not too far away so add all four to your itinerary when planning a trip to the Slowveld!
Magoebaskloof Pass and Abel Erasmus Pass

South Africa's mountain passes lend themselves to some pretty epic roadtrips. Fill up the petrol tank, pack some snacks, and enjoy the views.

The flower never had a to-do list,
not one day of her life.
'She just pointed her whole self
towards the light.
The rest took care of itself.'

Become more of a human 'being', instead of a human 'doing'!
Turn towards your sources of light...
