Guest Reviews

I had a amazing stay at this hotel. Being in the middle of the wildlife and seeing animals made this an unique experience! The hotel is located next to Kruger National Park which made it convenient and accessible for the safari tours.

The staff at this hotel were helpful with arranging safari tours and provided a delicious to go box lunch for early tours. My safari was with Kurt Safari which was amazing!

The restaurant staff were the highlight of my stay. They were absolutely amazing and kind! I sat at the same table every night and had the pleasure of having the best server! I don't remember her name, but she was very kind and attentive as I was traveling solo. The breakfast, lunch, and dinner at this hotel was phenomenal!

I ate so much during my stay as the hotel had a variety of food options! I had breakfast and dinner included, but they do have a bar near the pool that sells lunch as well.

I will always treasure my time at this hotel. It was one of the most unique hotel experiences of all of my travels so far! I would highly recommend!!

What an incredible experience! We initially checked out, but after reconsidering, we realised how special this place truly is — and we came back! That says everything.
From the warm hospitality to the attention to detail, everything exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere, cleanliness, and overall quality made us feel comfortable and relaxed from the moment we returned.
We are so glad we came back. Highly recommended — we will definitely return!

Localização excelente com vista para o Kruger Park. Chegamos no hotel por volta das 14h e no mesmo dia já observamos alguns animais direto da piscina do hotel como búfalo, hipopótamo, babuíno.
O quarto que ficamos era excelente, bastante amplo e com instalações modernas. Sugerimos se hospedar nesses quartos. O atendimento dos funcionários também é um diferencial, aqui fomos muito bem recebidos.

Nice and relaxed , even if it is a big hotel never had the \"holiday factory\" feeling. Lots of animal sighting from the pool area. Perfect combination of relaxed holiday and Kruger Park visits. Breakfast and diner are amazing with good food and so many choices!

Funcionários muito educados, muito receptivos e preocupados em auxiliar.
A área da piscina com a vista aos bichinho é algo fora da realidade.
Tinham bichinhos pela acomodação soltos ( maravilhoso)
O quarto era bem limpo, amplo. Banheiro tbm. Os cosméticos muito bons.
Café da manhã bem gostoso, mas precisam de exaustores.
Adorei os safáris.
