"Absolutely awesome venue, will stay there again"

8.0

Extremely friendly & warm host, Greg, who met me upon arrival and showed me around. This has become rare, as one often doesn't meet hosts at all Sitting at the Crocodile waterfront watching game walk past is out of this world, truly spectacular

Rooms are little old fashioned and could do with upgrade

"Lodge mit traumhafter Aussicht"

9.0

Der Ausblick vom Ausichtspunkt. Man kann sich die Nationalpark Gebühren sparen, so viel Tiere gesehen! Bett war sehr bequem, gut geschlafen. Personal war sehr nett

Für Selbstversorger ist die Ausstattung der Küche dürftig. Besser eigene Pfanne etc. mitbringen.

"Amazing"

10.0

This place is amazing. Quiet, clean and really a home away from home. The room and bathroom are so huge! The kitchen are stocked with everything you need and more. The scenery is to die for! You are phycically on the bank of the Crocodile river overlooking the Kruger Park. With ample wildlife visting daily. The nearest mall is walking distance making it convenient. The staff treats you like family.

Just loved everything

La posizione a ridosso del Crocodile River non ha prezzo.

La struttura era un po' dismessa rispetto alla mia ultima visita.

"מקום מעולה מרווח נקי ונעים, מרפסת חלומית הצופה לקרוגר לנהר התנינים ולחיות (ציבורית). מומלץ"

9.0

מיקום מצוין סמוך לשער מללן לכניסה לקרוגר (כ5 דקות נסיעה נסיעה), נוף מדהים של נהר וחיות סביבו, בבוקר ניתן לראות הרבה בעלי חיים שבאים לשתות מהנהר, חצר גדולה מטופחת עם דשא ופרחים בקתה יפה עם כיסאות ושולחן קטן לנוף. דירה מרווחת וגדולה, מטבח מאובזר. הבריכה הייתה בשיפוצים, אם בא לכם לקפוץ לבריכה בעונת החורף באופן כללי כדאי לוודא שהיא פעילה ונקייה. המארח היה נחמד נגיש וזמין (לא מאוחר בערב, אבל כן מוקדם בבוקר) גם בוואצאפ, שלח הוראות הגעה מדוייקות. קבלנו מיטת תינוק בחינם על פי בקשה.

הבריכה הייתה סגורה לשיפוצים ולא ידענו מראש...

"Nice place to stay for visiting Kruger park"

10.0

Very nice house inside private property with beautiful view of crocodile river. Beds are comfortable and they clean house everyday. They have BBQ corner and outside table for dining. Our kids love it. Shopping mall is not far from cottage so you can buy anything. At river, you could see birds, impala, hippo, elephant and amazing sunset. It takes 20 minutes drive to Melalane gate of krunger park. For dinner or lunch, try THE DECK restaurant next to Indigo hotel. They make delicious food.
