Extraordinary are delighted to introduce the world-class luxury hotel Angels View by HoyoHoyo, in Mpumalanga located 5km from the picturesque village of Graskop. Angels View is a Khoza family-owned hotel offering a luxury product with a multi-market target. Offering leisure, and business tourists’ access to the renowned Kruger National Park, Panorama Route, and the many wonders of the province named after the Rising Sun. Our local airport Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport allows access for domestic and international tourists.
Born from a deep love of Mpumalanga and inspired by the beauty of Gods Window, Dr Reuel Khoza and his wife Mumsy Khoza (nee Thaledi), a well-known family from Acornhoek felt driven to create a legacy on this incredible space that straddles the escarpment. True warriors of tourism the family has a rich industry history that spans three decades. Creating this legacy has been a toil of passion for the family with a great deal of thought and detail going into it. Strong family ties are evident in the individual suite naming after the significant Khoza and Thaledi clan members. The fine dining restaurant named Mumsy’s (after Ms Mumsy Khoza) pays homage to the matriarch’s passion for food and family.
