(Translated by Google) Fantastic hotel, impeccable service, spacious rooms with all amenities, and spotless bedding. The breathtaking pool offers stunning views of the park at sunset! A very well-equipped gym and a spa offering various types of massages. The reception, bar, and restaurant all open onto a lush garden where monkeys climb from tree to tree! The breakfast is incredible, and there's a wide selection of buffet options for dinner. Ideally located for an early start to your safari. The provided lunch boxes are generously filled! We stayed for two nights, and I would have loved to extend my stay to enjoy the hotel's amenities even more.

Fantastique hôtel, un service irréprochable, des chambres spacieuses avec toutes les commodités literie impeccable. La piscine époustouflante avec une vue imprenable sur le parc au coucher de soleil !!! Une salle de sport très bien équipée et un SPA offrant différents types de massages. La réception, le bar et le restaurant ouvrent tous sur un jardin luxuriant où les singes grimpent d’un arbre à un autre !!! Le petit déjeuner est incroyable et un large choix en buffet pour le dîner. Idéalement situé pour un départ matinal en Safari. Les lunchs box fournis sont bien garnis! Nous y avons passés deux nuits et j’aurais bien aimé prolonger mon séjour pour profiter encore des commodités de l’hôtel.

Fantastic hotel, impeccable service, spacious rooms with all amenities impeccable bedding. The breathtaking pool with stunning views of the park at sunset!!! A very well equipped gym and a SPA offering different types of massages. The reception, bar and restaurant all open onto a lush garden where monkeys climb from one tree to another!!! The breakfast is amazing and a wide choice in buffet for dinner. Ideally located for a morning departure in Safari. The box lunches provided are well stocked! We stayed there for two nights and I would have liked to extend my stay to still enjoy the amenities of the hotel.

Our stay at this beautiful hotel was nothing short of exceptional, and we are truly grateful for every moment we spent there. From the very beginning, we felt incredibly well taken care of, and every detail exceeded our expectations.

The location is simply magical—nestled in the bush, offering an authentic lodge experience. Watching elephants, hippos, impalas, and monkeys right from the pool deck was surreal. The views are absolutely breathtaking and created memories we will cherish forever.

The design of the hotel deserves special praise as well. Every common space is thoughtfully curated with a beautiful African aesthetic, and we especially loved the treehouse-inspired architecture—it added such a unique and charming touch to the entire experience.

The safari experience was outstanding. Within just two days, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, which was beyond anything we had hoped for. A heartfelt thank you to our incredible guide, Abraham, whose knowledge, passion, and dedication made every game drive unforgettable.

We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to Desmond from the Lapa restaurant. His kindness and warm personality truly stood out, and he made us feel so welcome throughout our stay. Our son Alex formed a very special bond with him, which made our experience even more meaningful.

Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so memorable. We left with full hearts and cannot wait to return.

Our stay at Kruger was incredible and that was in large part due to our two full day private game drives (through Kruger Gate Hotel). We had Prince one day and Banele the second time. They were both AMAZING and provided so much information about the animals while hunting around for the big 5! We were lucky enough to see them all and having such knowledgeable and friendly guides made all the difference. They asked us what we were most interested in and having their experience makes every penny worth it and all the memories priceless. Thank you Prince and Banele!!

Die Lage des Hotels ist einmalig. Vor allem der Blick vom Pool aus auf den Sabie River.
Aber auch die Herzlichkeit der Mitarbeiter war wirklich toll. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt.

Great Location, good food and nice viewing deck. Felt like a lodge

Wszystko było idealnie. Niesamowity hotel, piękny wystrój, pyszne jedzenie - dziesiątki opcji, słone, słodkie, mięsa, ryby. Obsługa w hotelu jest wspaniała i niezwykle pomocna. Nie pamiętam niestety imion 😭, ale wysoki Pan z biura Safari, panie na recepcji, Pan który nas odwoził na lotnisko (chyba Fanie) - wszyscy byli cudowni. Widoki, safari, basen z widokiem na hipopotamy. Polecam każdemu!

Fantastic hotel, loved our stay. Staff were all brilliant, buffet dinners great variety and delicious! Modern/authentic decor throughout the hotel & common areas. Pool deck was great, with views across the river of varied wildlife. Safari game drives were of good quality, lucky to see the big 5 plus cheetahs! Convenient location right on Paul Kruger gate.
