Guest Reviews
- Nxobile (4/5): Cleanliness - The place is good cause we needed privacy and away from town, but the place was not clean. In the bathroom the arr spider webs and ant hills under basin. We stayed for 2 days and the linen was not changed, the was dust on the study table and the pedestals. When you drain water from the tub or flash the is a awful smell dont know from where. But the receptionist Melody, she was the best 10/10.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - What an amazing place! Beautiful rooms, very handy kitchen, lovely views. We adored the place and loved the braai. Wessel is an intelligent man with great love for this place. 10/10 would recommend.
- Harald (10/5): - Tolle Lodge, großes Zimmer (3 Betten, kleine eigene Terasse). Etwas entfernt von der nächsten Stadt, jedoch herrliche Lage am Fluß. Top Service: Für das Abendessen wird nach vorheriger Anmeldung frisch eingekauft und vorbereitet. Bin erst abends eingetroffen. Dennoch wurde ich auf die Frage nach einem Sandwich o.ä. mit enem kompletten Abendmenü (Salat, Steak mit Beilagen und einem Desert) überrascht!
- Érika (6/5): Não recomendo - Fiquei decepcionada com a localização do hotel. A propriedade fica a cerca de 30Km da cidade, num local de dificílimo acesso (tivemos que passar por mais de uma porteira..), é no campo mesmo! Mas isso não é informado. Além disso não tem wi-fi (embora constasse que haveria!) e ainda nos cobraram uma multa por chegarmos após as 18h, o que não foi alertado previamente.
- Diego (4/5): - Não encontrei no local tudo que foi anunciado no site hotéis.com durante a reserva. O quarta não tinha TV nem Wi-Fi. O Sr condicionado não dava conta de refrigerar todo o ambiente (e fazia muito calor), não havia opção de café-da-manhã nem jantar.
- PRISCILA (2/5): Suspensão de Última Hora - Não pude viajar por causa de um nódulo que apareceu e o hotel concordou em estornar a estadia.
- Deborah (8/5): Aunthentic bush hotel right on Olifants River - Our stay at the Bush River Lodge was very authentic and not touristy at all. Beware when booking on Hotels.com, however, as the owner said he was unaware of our arrival and was unable to prepare dinner for us due to his chef not onsite.HOWEVER, he was kind enough to drive us to a nearby restaurant which was awesome! Food was delicious & inexpensive. Rooms were very nice but the bathroom was a bit dated. Overall I would recommend this hotel and you also get to play with "Flippy" the owners adorable & lovable dog who is fluent in three different languages!
- Verified traveler (4/5): Absolut überbewertet - Ich kann die guten Bewertungen leider überhaupt nicht nachvollziehen. Es ging los mit einer nicht vorhandenen Begrüßung durch den Manager. Er war nicht da, als wir kamen, hielt es aber auch nicht für nötig seine Gäste zu begrüßen als er dann da war. Es war niemand da, der uns alles gut und ausführlich erklären konnte. Die Klimaanlage war defekt, es lief Wasser heraus. Dieses ist uns in der Nacht ins Gesicht getropft, da die Klimaanlage über dem Bett hing. Haben wir am Morgen reklamiert, hat aber keinen großartig interessiert. Die Anlage (der pool zum Beispiel) ist ziemlich runtergerockt. Es gibt zwar Frühstück und Dinner auf Nachfrage (wovon man aber auch nichts weiß oder informiert wird). Außerdem ist es für südafrikanische Verhältnisse VIEL zu teuer. 15€ fürs Dinner; 7,50€ fürs Frühstück. Es gibt ums Eck ein Restaurant (Three Bridges), da kann man besser und günstiger frühstücken und Abend essen. Die Angestellten waren unmotiviert, besonders die Dame beim Frühstück. Schrecklich unsympathisch, schlechter Service. Die einzig nette Person war die Köchin Ursula, die uns am ersten Abend vor dem verhungern gerettet hat und spontan das Dinner umorganisiert hat. Vielen Dank dafür!!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Rustic chic - Hosts were welcoming and attentive; the location was great for viewing birds and crocs. A drive out at night garnered us views of a Thick-knee, a scrub hare, and an African Civet. Breakfast on the porch overlooking the river was delicious.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Short stay - ideally located on the Olifants river
- Dieter (8/5): One night stay - Nice for a one night stay. However no meals on site provided. Next restaurant 8 km.
- Catherine (10/5): Absolut top - Wunderbare Unterkunft. Wir hatten ein ganzes Haus für uns alleine. Die Ausstattung ist sehr modern und gut gepflegt. Jedes Zimmer hat sein eigenes Bad. Für das Grillieren wurde jeden Tag Holz gebracht.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Betrug -Irreführung - Die Lodge ist über das Navi schwer zu finden, Der Beschreibung nach aber ist es sehr einfach. Wichtig zu wissen ist: von der Hauptstraße ab Zweigen und sind es noch Mals 6 km bis zu der Loitsch. Unsere Unterkunft war sehr sauber und sehr modern. Alles funktionierte einwandfrei. Sie liegt direkt an einem Fluss Und so kann man diesen von jedem Zimmer aussehen. Sehr hübsch ist es in der Badewanne zu liegen und raus zu sehen. Auch die Terrasse ist schön modern bequeme liegen stehen zur Verfügung Warum also die schlechte Bewertung? Wir wurden übers Ohr gehauen. Der Zimmerpreis beinhaltete eigentlich das Frühstück. Auf Anfrage teilte man uns dann jedoch mit dass dies ein Fehler sei. Man wisse zwar schon seit längerem davon, aber irgendwie bleibt man bei dem Angebot in EXPEDIA bei dem das Frühstück inklusive ist. Das ist ein sehr wichtiger Punkt, denn um diese Lodge herum ist im Umkreis von 8 km nichts zu essen zu bekommen. Man muss eine 2 km lange Staubstraße (geht gerade noch ohne 4 × 4) durchfahren, einen Tierschutzzaun selber öffnen und wieder schließen und über eine kleine Flughafen Landebahn fahren um zu einem Restaurant zu kommen. Wer also nicht alles für ein Frühstück mitgenommen hat wird hungrig in den Tag starten. Gleiches gilt auch für das Abendessen. Hier war es jedoch nicht so schlimm, denn wir wussten von diesen Umstand und hatten vorher zu Abend gegessen. für uns ist dies Betrug. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt somit gar nicht.
- Michael (8/5): Beautiful stay on the Oliphants River - Tons of wildlife in the area (monkeys, springbok, kudu, impala, baboons, birds) in a calm and peaceful location. It can be a bit of self service but you have the full kitchen and your own storage and fridge if you book a room. You must let them know the day before if you plan on having breakfast so that they can prepare for you. They have houses available. The internet in the common area works great. Evening fire pits on the deck over the river and an outside grill as well. You have to drive through a couple of other lodge areas off the main road to get to it. Edward(sp?) was great and very helpful.
- Glen (10/5): Wonderful position on the river in the bush - Fabulous place. Ask for Wessels to organise a bush braai (BBQ)..absolutely wonderful and worth it.
- Verified traveler (10/5): cadre exceptionel - sejour detente garantie , le patron qui cuisine pour ces clients , une vue magnifique sur la riviere
- Haidee (10/5): Private bush hide-away surrounded by nature - Beatufiul bush hide-away not accessable to the general public. Large spacious and airy rooms. Surrounded by wildlife. Cotages build on the Olifants river with amazing veiws and sounds. Very clean, excellent service, manager amazing and check in process flawless. Self catering with full use of the excllent facilities in catering kitchen with each unit having it´s own grocery shelf and large fridge. Extremely clean throughout. Needs some maintenance on smaller things. Drain at our room needs serious attention.
- Pamela (10/5): Such a Lovely Amazing Play To Stay - Wow! You don't need to stay in Kruger to see amazing animals and pay exorbitant prices. The managers here are absolutely lovely and incredible knowledgeable. Went on an incredible tour with them and saw lots of animals. The room was lovely and clean. Great food too. Yay! Would definitely come back and stay. Really really nice people! Oh, and the river right outside your door is awesome for animal watching!
- Janice (10/5): Wonderful stop over on way to or from Kruger - This property is in close proximity to a campground, Hippo Pools and several other places to stay. It is off the highway and you go through several gates before you arrive.
- marijke (10/5): Geweldige ervaring - We zijn hier twee nachten verbleven. zeer gastvrij en lekker eten. De verblijven zeer luxe en fijn.
- Jikks (10/5): Awesome Bush River Lodge - The stay at Bushriver Lodge was awesome. We opted for a self catering room so a bit far away from the main lodge. The view from the room to the river was awesome. There was plenty bird lfe and hippos around. However the greatest surprise was when three elephants roamed around for food to the front of our villa. It was just awesome and unprepared as mother nature can make you feel. Wessels and the people who work at Kingfisher are first class and Wessels is an awesome cook to top it off. The only disadvantage is that Kruger Park is quite far away however i did a day trip to KNP and really enjoyed being at BushRiver.I will definitely go back when vacationing in the area.
- Ingela (10/5): Rundresa - Ett underbart ställe, mycket välkomnande. Bra service och mycket god mat till middag som man bokar extra. Avkopplande, litet och trivsamt,vi bokade till en extra natt för vi trivdes så bra.
- Roxane (10/5): Superbe endroit - Nous avons passé un seule nuit à cet établissement mais nous aurions voulu y rester plus longtemps! Surtout que l'accès à ce superbe endroit n'est pas facile car il faut faire quelques kilomètres sur une route non pavée mais ça en vaut la peine. La chambre était très grande et très propre. Nous avions une petite galerie avec une magnifique vue sur la rivière. Il y a des endroits communs pour se faire à manger. Pensez à apporter votre nourriture car il n'y a rien que l'on peut acheter sur place et le chemin pour se rendre à l'épicerie ou au restaurant est plutôt long.
- Albie (10/5): Amazing! - Amazing stay once again at Bushriver Lodge. Wessel is an amazing host. Great vibe!
- Donavan (4/5): - Expected more
- Verified traveler (8/5): Sehr gute Unterkunft, könnte besser gelegen sein - Alles erste klasse: freundliches Personal, schöne Zimmer, leckeres (optionales) Essen, Lage am Fluss mit sehr schönem Sonnendeck und 500 ha die es zu erkunden gilt (inkl. exotischer Tierwelt) Die Lodge ist sehr schön direkt am Fluss gelegen, die Fahrt zum Krüger dauert allerdings 45-60 Min. mit dem Auto (Orpen Gate).
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great stay and warm hospitality - We had a lovely overnight and the manager Wessel was a great host making a lovely local dinner. Beautiful setting in the middle of the bush. We did really struggled to get there after dark. Firstly google maps takes you down the wrong turnoff and then we got lost in the bush. Needs another sign or two.
- JF (8/5): lovely stay - peaceful, tranquil and beautiful, would love to stay again
- Gang (10/5): - Lovely stay with family, nice view around
- Kruemel (10/5): Ideal für Selbstversorger - Ideal für Selbstversorger, riesige komplett eingerichtete Küche steht für alle zur Verfügung.Jeder erhält einen eigenen Kühlschrank. Mann kann perfekt grillen. Es sind günstige und abwechslungsreiche gekühlte Geränke zu günstigen Preisen vorhanden. Saubere gepflegte Zimmer.Schön eingerichtet. Netter Empfang und unkomplizierte Abreise.
- Dirk (10/5): Superb - Generally a superb experience. The manageress went out of her way to make us comfortable. The room was luxurious and the surrounding wildlife relaxing and fascinating. The only critique I could offer was the bath/shower in the inside bathroom would not convert to shower - the handle could not be pulled up to redirect water flow ro the shower head.
- Verified traveler (10/5): perfekter Ort zum Entspannen - Wir hatten die Kingfisher Cottage. Diese liegt direkt am Fluss, in welchem man sowohl Krokodile als auch Flusspferde beobachten kann. Genial! Man ist dort wirklich für sich allein. Dazu ein Feuer mit dem vorbereiteten Brennholz, Braai und ein Fläschchen Wein (vorher einkaufen gehen!) und der Abend ist perfekt...sehr zu empfehlen! Das Haus ist sauber, groß und sehr liebevoll eingerichtet. Leider waren wir nur 2 Nächte, aber wir planen auf jedfn Fall wiederzukommen...
- Uwe (10/5): Aussergewöhnliche Lage mit Wildlife vor dem Haus - Echtes Erlebnis mit aussergewöhnlicher Entspannungsmöglichkeit. Tiere vor der Haustür und excellenten Gastgeber in einem ungewöhlichen Ambiente direkt am Fluss. Jeden Abend wird am offenen Feuer gegrillt -Braai- Kein Allrad notwendig. Man sollte minimum 3 Nächte bleiben.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Beautiful, affordable accomodation for families - We booked the Marula camp/rondawel. We struggled to find suitable, affordable accommodation for a family of 5 in Hoedspruit, and we were very grateful that we stumbled across Bush River Lodge. Wessel was a gracious host. The rondawel, which sits on the Olifants river and is spacious and beautifully appointed, including having two bathrooms and braai/fire facilities. The ids enjoyed running around in the garden and exploring. I was also able to go riding in the farm, and I highly recommend that ride.
- Michael (10/5): Wir kommen wieder!!! - Unsere Erwartung um ein vielfaches übertroffen!
- Robert (10/5): Great Lodge in the Bush - We loved Bushriver Lodge, and will definitely go back for a longer visit.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Großartige Bungalows am Fluss - Es war der perfekte Start in unseren Urlaub. Es lohnt sich, mehrere Tage hier einzuplanen!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Strong recommendation for Bushriver Lodge - Had an amazing time. Staff were pleasant and helpful, location was beautiful, and our stay was incredible.
- Cecilia (10/5): Amazing place! - We arrived after having a full day in the Kruger Park. We were supposed to only stay for one night but the room and the lodge was so nice so we decided to stay for another night. Our room was very nice and had a big tub with a window facing the hippo river. The bed was super comfortable and all amenities was there. The lodge ahd a very nice veranda facing the river (where we saw hippos and crocodiles and baboons on the other side) and all common areas were nicely furnitured and clean. The kitchen was very well equipped and all rooms had their own fridge in the common kitchen. We were two friends who shared a family room. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. Nothing to complain about except for the photos of the place that doesn´t give justice to it. Maybe we would've decided to stay two nights to begin with if we knew!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Superbe, jolie expérience. - Trés joli lodge. Chambres spacieuses et trés propres, joliment décorées. Grand lit confortable . Baignoire avec vue sur la rivière ou vous pourrez peut être voir crocodiles et hippopotames. Reception avec grande terrasse, barbecue, bar et cuisine commune. Les gérants sont très sympathiques. Ils prévoient des victuailles de secours au cas ou comme nous, vous n'en auriez pas. Petit dejeuner trés copieux ( mieux vaut le réserver d'avance) . L'hôtel est isolé de tout commerce. Pas mal d'activités proposées que nous n'avons pas eu le temps de tester ( vol en mongolfière, survol de Blyde river canyon en avion, safaris dans le parc kruger, rafting etc).
- Mira (4/5): suitable for people with strange urge to suffer - Wrong choice, almost impossible to find it, the management is not answer on the phone to help, the address is 20km far from where is spcified on the site
- Mira (6/5): Site Manager who doesn't give a d.. - Getting there was a nightmare, isolated site, if you have a simple care (not 4x4), take care to the unpaved road, plenty of pothols. Nothing to do 30 miles around
- Leanie (10/5): Wonderful stay - Beautiful place and friendly people
- Petro (10/5): Fantastisch! - Wat een fantastisch verblijf, supermooie omgeving, comfortabele en mooie kamer en wat een gastheer is Wessel. Hij neemt alle tijd voor je vragen en vertelt je wat je maar wilt weten over Zuid-Afrika. Wij hebben echt genoten en gaan bij een volgende reis naar dit land zeker terug naar deze accommodatie!
- carlo (10/5): very nice place - It s very nice place on the river the room was clean and nice in this place you can hear or see hippo and croccodile
