    The location of this hotel is truly stunning, situated on the banks of the Sabie river, on a huge farm. It provides a wonderful backdrop for a peaceful and relaxing stay. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that all our needs were met during our visit. The rooms were well-appointed, with all the amenities we needed, including a nice South African touch in the decor. The breakfast offered a great variety of hot and cold options, and we enjoyed our meals with a great view of the surrounding nature.

    All was great during our stay.

    During our Christmas stay, we enjoyed the homemade food at the lodge's restaurant, which was both tasty and filling. the staff were always approachable and friendly, which allowed us to feel comfortable and relaxed throughout our stay. Another positive of our experience was the easy accessibility to Kruger National Park- only a short distance away from the lodge.

    Some aspects of our stay left much to be desired. the room we stayed in had a squeaky wooden floor, and the en-suite restroom created a noise during use.

    Friendly staff, delicious breakfast, convenient location close to the river and Kruger NP. The hotel facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the staff was always helpful with parking and transportation. I enjoyed being able to explore other sights around this city before returning to the hotel to relax by the pool.

    Couldn't fault.

    The complementary breakfast was delicious and filling. the hotel had a great location, close to major tourist attractions and easy to get around. the staff was friendly and accommodating, always ready to help with our needs and requests.

    The hotel could have had better Wi-Fi connectivity, as it was a bit slow and made it difficult to get work done. the lack of a fridge in the room was a bit inconvenient and made it hard to store our drinks and snacks.

    I recently had an amazing stay at a charming hotel nestled in a picturesque setting on a huge farm. The location was perfect for my family as we were on our way in and out of Kruger. The hotel provided all the amenities we needed, including spacious rooms with a nice South African touch, complete with bathrooms. The staff was incredibly attentive and warm, making us feel well-catered to throughout our stay. The highlight for us was definitely the breakfast, which had a great variety of both hot and cold options and offered breathtaking views of the surroundings. Additionally, the hotel had a pool that provided a refreshing escape on warm days.

    All was perfect.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at a wonderful hotel near Kruger Park. The hotel offers great value for money, with affordable prices and attention to detail. Situated on a huge farm on the banks of the Sabie river, the location is absolutely stunning. The staff was friendly and provided excellent service throughout my stay. The rooms, decorated with a nice South African touch, were spacious and had all the basic amenities needed for a comfortable stay. I particularly loved the fact that there were rooms available for my three children. The breakfast, served with a great view, included both hot and cold options and was absolutely delicious.

    All aspects of my stay at this hotel were perfect.

    Nestled in the heart of nature, this backpacker lodge offers a chance to explore the wilderness back in the area. You can go down to the river or walk through the beautiful garden while the team gives you a warm welcome. the rooms are spacious and well-laid out, with plenty of hot water in the bathroom. the breakfast is a fulfilling meal with hot and cold options. the coffee is very good, and the food is really delicious.

    The wifi connection is limited and unreliable.
