Guest Reviews

(Translated by Google) Amazing hotel with the best service you can imagine. Stayed in the villa for a few days - it is just perfection in terms of design and comfort. Also the best location before the gate. Breakfasts and dinners are so delicious that you want to take everything to your room. The price-quality ratio is the best in my opinion.

Потрясающий отель с самым лучшим сервисом какой только можно представить. Останавливались на вилле на несколько дней - она просто совершенство в плане дизайна и удобства. Также лучшее место до ворот. Завтраки и ужины настолько вкусные, что хочется взять с собой в номер все. Соотношение цена и качество - лучшее я считаю.

This property was the closest to the national park. Cosy, comfortable and great hospitality. It was beautiful and going around the property was a treat! My favourite was the giant chess board, which me and my dad hopped on to, at once! Not to forget the super friendly tourists we met there ❤️

(Translated by Google) Great hotel right next to the Kruger National Park. What should be particularly highlighted is the super nice and courteous staff. However, the older rooms are a bit old. Still clean.

Tolles Hotel direkt am Kruger Nationalpark. Hervorzuheben ist vor allem das super nette und zuvorkommende Personal. Die älteren Zimmer sind jedoch etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Dennoch sauber.

This hotel has come a long way from the ancient Protea hotel with the dark and gloomy bedrooms to a high quality facility with good restaurant standard and beautifully appointed bedrooms. The immediate vicinity of the Paul Kruger Gate is a major asset.

It was my first time experience of a safari. The hotel is even better than I expected. The location and setting is simply perfect. You feel genuinly in the jungle right after you enter the hotel. Everything is very clean. Dinner and breakfast is unbelievable. Wide variety of everything. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Immediately you feel here at home.

From check in to check out everything is superb. I had a great room, super fresh and clean and quiet. Food is great and so is everyone working there. So many nice and friendly people and can’t remember the names of all but a special shoutout to Charity and Monica that took special care of me😍
Pool area gorgeous, very close to the park and animals passing by or coming close almost daily.
Spa is great and really recommend it!
If you’re even considering this place don’t think just book!

Gostamos demais da nossa estadia, queríamos ter ficado mais. O hotel era muito bonito, bem decorado e muito confortável. A vista da piscina era incrível. Vimos elefantes, hipopótamos e impalas. Tanto o jantar quanto o café da manhã foram excelentes, com muita variedade, atendendo a todos os gostos. Vimos macacos, babuínos, cobras e impalas dentro do hotel. Foi uma ótima experiência.

12/10 Sternen! Es war eine außergewöhnliche Erfahrung. Direkt am Kruger Gate liegt das Hotel mit Pool Richtung Sabi River. Die gesamte Anlage war sehr sauber, außergewöhnlich schön gestaltet und jeden Tag ein Erlebnis. Das Essen ist super, das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, die Safari war erfolgreich. Wir haben jede Sekunde genossen und würden sie jederzeit empfehlen. Vom Pool aus haben wir Elefanten, Nilpferde und viele andere Tiere gesehen.
Das Frühstück und Abendessen ist sehr umfangreich und für jeden (Vegetarierin) genügend Auswahl. Auch die anderen Gäste, mit denen wir gesprochen hatten, waren völlig begeistert. Es war eine unglaubliche Zeit!

Fabulous selection for breakfast and dinner. Great packed breakfast for early morning safari. Rooms cool, clean and very comfortable. Pool area with infinity deck was a real treat.
Safari guide, Justice, was absolutely amazing - very knowledgable and great at spotting wildlife. All staff in the hotel were super friendly and welcoming.

Très bien situé, très confortable. Le restaurant était très bien.

Posted on 14/03/2025 by Booking.com

Die Anlage ist sehr schön angelegt und besticht durch ihren Charme. Die Luxuszimmer sind großzügig und modern eingerichtet und den etwas in die Jahre gekommenen Deluxe Zimmern vorzuziehen.
Die Sauberkeit ist im gesamten komplex auffallend.

Das Personal und durchwegs freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Vielen Dank besonders an Sarah für all ihre Hilfe mit Buchungen etc.

Die Gamedrives beginnen zwar etwas chaotisch bis jeder Gast seinen Fahrer gefunden hat aber Alex hat uns toll durch den Drive gebracht. Er hat uns so viel erklärt und gezeigt und wir haben dann auch die Big 5 und viele weitere Highlights erleben dürfen.

Die Restaurants sind beide wunderschön und das Essen - Frühstück und Abendessen in Nuffetgorm - lassen keine Wünsche offen.

Wir können das Hotel sehr empfehlen.

This hotel is absolutely amazing - the property is gorgeous and the food is outstanding. It’s located right outside of Kruger Gate, so access to the park is super easy and you can go on any of the hotel or SANPark safari tours. We will definitely be back!
