Guest Reviews

• Ulrich (9/5): Ideal gelegen für Ausflüge in den Krugerpark; komfortable Zimmer, hervorragendes Frühstück und Abendessen - Ideal gelegen für Ausflüge in den nahe gelegenen Krügerpark. Das Phalaborwa Gate ist nur einen Steinwurf vom Hotel entfernt. Die Zimmer sind komfortabel ausgestattet, das Frühstück ist hervorragend und die Dinnerkarte kann sich sehen lassen. Das Essen ist vorzüglich.

You can truly see the care and attention to detail in every part of the lodge.

• Sharon (8/5): Pleasant and convenient stay - Proximity to Kruger National Park Food was good, tasty and well presented The whole facility is in need of TLC, looking very tired. Patio furniture (each unit) in need of replacement. Rooms very basic

• JohannesburgChris (10/5): An Absolute Gem - Wow, from the amazing accommodation and food, superb spa and amazing staff - not to mention the proximity to Phalaborwa Gare a mere 200 meters away - you cannot ask for a more value for money affordable luxury hotel. Loved every minute of my stay.
• Jens (9/5): Excellent choice, relaxed and comfortable with superb dining - A lovely hotel. We had a spacious room with a large bathroom and a terrace. Very friendly staff throughout.

• Curiosity59683749734 (10/5): Great starting off point for our safari tour - We stayed as part of a tour group and fully enjoyed every aspect of the hotel from our room, the pool, dinner and the awesome bagged breakfast and lunch provided for our first safari day.
• Jan (10/5): - Das Essen im Restaurant war exzellent, egal ob Fleisch, Burger oder Salate. Auch der Service war herausragend und sehr bemüht, etwaige Fragen oder Probleme schnell und zuverlässig zu lösen. Die Frühstücksauswahl war sehr eingeschränkt und Ei-lastig (alle wählbaren Gerichte) und es gab keine veganen Alternativen.

• sales989 (10/5): What a gem of a property - What a prime location, close to everything, rooms are comfortable and got everything you need. Amazing game viewing and Spa facility a must do. Warm, friendly and genuine staff.
• Naume (10/5): - Beautiful room and the Food was amazing will absolutely go back
• mooi-holidays (10/5): review Bushveld Terrace on Kruger - we had a fabulous stay. Good service, beautifull food, perfect room. Nice to coming out off the Kruger park and just drive a few meters to Bushveld, perfect location to visit Kruger National Park.
• Danny (10/5): - Very helpful staff
• Dirk (8/5): Voldoende - Ligging pal aan Kruger gate. Restaurant met mooi terras (‘s avonds mooi verlicht) Zes jaar geleden hier ook geweest en we waren toen heel enthousiast dus daarom nogmaals geboekt. Hoewel het een heerlijk hotel is, is er wel het e.e.a. veranderd en o.i. geen verbetering. Toen was er een zeer uitgebreid ontbijtbuffet en nu is dat op bestelling van een kaart. Vanuit eventuele verspilling gedachte nog wel begrijpelijk maar voor een extra kopje koffie of glas jus d’orange bij het ontbijt, als je inclusief hebt geboekt, moet worden betaald. En als je een omelet besteld dan zit daar geen toast bij en daarvoor moet ook extra worden betaald. Niet vanwege het geld maar als ontbijt is inbegrepen vinden we dat toch enigszins vreemd. Bij boeking stond dat de luxe kamer uitzicht had op het zwembad. Uitzicht bleek echter op het bos aan de zijkant van het gebouw met een veel kleiner zitgedeelte en geen tafeltje op het balkon. Bij receptie verzocht of zij voor ons een starttijd konden regelen op de plaatselijke golfbaan doch dit wilde zij niet en we moesten het zelf maar telefonisch regelen. Beetje jammer want bellen met mobiele telefoon (via Nederland) is niet erg economisch. Ondanks dit alles toch een prima verblijf gehad maar of er een derde keer in zit betwijfelen we.
• Trip47902950653 (10/5): Bushveld Terrace Hotel - Once again, we had a wonderful stay at Bushveld Terrace Safari Hotel, Lodge & Spa. The setting is beautiful and tranquil, creating the perfect atmosphere to relax and unwind from the moment you arrive. The food was excellent, beautifully prepared, and consistently of an outstanding standard. Every meal was a highlight and clearly reflects the care and attention that goes into the dining experience. The overall ambiance, warm hospitality, and attention to detail make each visit truly special. Bushveld Terrace continues to impress and remains a place we return to again and again. Highly recommended for a memorable and luxurious experience

• Malatji (9/5): -
• Tanya (10/5): -
• Azwifarwi (9/5): - Everything about the place Nothing
• Phaswana (10/5): The best place to stay in that area in my opinion - It is literally at the Phalaborwa gate. The food was a 10 out of a 10👌. The bedding, everything about the place The fact the we have to bring ID’s I wasn’t aware 😭😭😫 but luckily because we were getting into the KNP we all had our ID’s
• kerilynnes2022 (10/5): Luxurious Bush Getaway - What a surprise to find this piece of luxury within a stones throw from the Kruger Phalaborwa gate! Spacious, stylishly appointed rooms with a spectacular pool area. We had game drives in a very comfy open safari vehicle with a great guide- even packed refreshments and snacks! The restaurant offers top quality food and we were fortunate to meet Adriaan who heads up the restaurant! Thank you. Tried out the newly opened spa! Such a treat in between game drives. Worth a visit!
• amyleighs2026 (10/5): Best Bushveld Terrace experience! - Such a wonderful lodge experience! The rooms were luxurious and the service was excellent! The spa had amazing massages and was so tranquil and relaxing! Housekeeping were such great people and the safari game drives were such a great experience, so convenient that it’s right next to the Kruger gate!!
• Roving60226871529 (10/5): Great Kruger experience - Had a great stay at the lodge. Service was on point with attention to detail. Great game drives into the Kruger park and so convenient being right next to the gate.

• Cor (9/5): -
• Colin (10/5): Outstanding - well appointed, comfortable, spacious room. Staff very efficient, friendly and accommodating. Restaurant deserves 10stars, outstanding dinner and breakfast, Adrian the chef is fantastic. well equipped gym nothing
• Sarah (7/5): - Unser Zimmer und auch das Badezimmer waren sehr groß und modern, das Personal sehr freundlich, das Restaurant hatte eine gute Auswahl und die Lichterketten haben für eine sehr schöne Stimmung gesorgt. Die Lage direkt vor dem Phalaborwa-Gate unschlagbar. Leider hatte das Zimmer keinen Balkon wie gedacht, insgesamt gibt es lediglich ein Zimmer mit Terrasse (auf den Bildern irreführend). Das Grundstück ist sehr klein und bietet keine Möglichkeit sich ein paar Meter die Füße zu vertreten. In der Dachkonstruktion/Dachboden waren auch sehr aktive Tierchen zu hören (nicht schlimm, aber zu hören). Die Flexibilität Touren vor Ort zu buchen war sehr eingeschränkt.
• Phasha (9/5): -

• Vamumusa (9/5): -
• ericmE6120FW (10/5): Mr - My stay was excellent, reception, food and room was great. The only thing though it wasnt worrying was that the aircon at room 22 was dripping water or maybe it was my inability to do proper setting
• sofie (10/5): Een topper, heerlijk! - Een prachtig hotel gelegen net aan de gate, ideaal om een Kruger NP drive te doen. De kamers zijn comfortabel en knap ingericht. Fijn zwembad, vlotte service en super vriendelijk personeel. Restaurant en ontbijt zijn eveneens op top niveau met een uitmuntende bediening. Dikke pluim en dank aan allen!
• James (9/5): -
• JelenaYka (10/5): A perfect stay near Kruger Parc - We had a great 2-day stay at this hotel. Everything was perfect for us: the rooms, service, restaurant and swimming pool. It gives you an Out of Africa feeling. Love to come back one day. The staff is very kind and helpfull.

• DERLANDIO (8/5): - O quarto muito bom e limpo, os funcionários nota 1000, a comida boa, o que deixou a desejar a piscina edtava suja nos 3 dias que fiquei hospedado, descendo para piscina e entrando no bar existem ressaltos que para pessoas em cadeira de rodas é perigoso...é só colocar um cimento para não ter aquele obstáculo...a Internet todos os dias caia e não conectava mais...resolvendo isso nota 10.
• MikeS9906 (10/5): STAY-OVER GEM EN-ROUTE TO KRUGER - Visiting the Kruger National Park, there is no better way than entering the Park refreshed in the early morning relaxed and ready for your first sightings, rather than testing the speed limits trying to get to your overnight camp - the Bushveld Terrace Safari Lodge offers the ideal stay-over experience - cleverly designed offering all required facilities, the experience is elevated to a whole new level by the friendly and attentive staff and by its outside dining 'terrace' which gets you into the bush-veld mood with its sights, sounds, smells and delicious food - ticked all the boxes for us!
• luyandamatthews (10/5): Business Travel - I enjoyed my stay, nothing, would have been nice to see a manual of how the TV works and what channels are available especially for sports.
• Mike (9/5): Geared primarily as an overnight stop for Kruger Park arriving visitors, this hotel offers all required facilities & - In its simplicity, very economically designed, but tastefully decorated - guest rooms have all required facilities & are generously comfortable - excellent indoor/outdoor restaurant so good, that locals flock there & reception contacts arriving guests just to make sure that they have reservations in place to avoid disappointment Nothing noted

Special, comfortable and clean rooms with an excellent outdoor restaurant, a good lap pool and secure parking. The staff were happy and gave marvellous service.
• mdcnamibia (10/5): Great stay at the bushveld terrance hotel - Spacious comfortable clean rooms and great food at the restaurant. Really close to the Kruger gate making it super convenient
• lizzy419 (10/5): Bush Getaway - Absolutely loved the bushveld feel, amazing friendly staff and stunning hostess. food was amazing, beers were cold and room was a treat
• Jordaan_Pieter (10/5): Exceptional accommodation, Best Service, Exquisite cuisine - Hospitality, warmth, friendliness, service, cuisine rooms.. everything was just above and beyond expectations! Keep it up team!
• AlKo255 (10/5): Great stop over Hotel on way to Kruger Park - On our way to the Kruger Park we spent last night at The Bushveld Terrace Hotel. After a friendly reception we were taken to our rooms which were spacious and very comfortable, with a large bathroom with a separate bath and shower - wonderful! The dinner was tasty with an extensive menu. The only complaint was the pathetic cheap TV in our room. It was too small and had a very fuzzy picture. And a hotel such as this should have a much more extensive channel selection. But besides this, we have already booked a return visit in 5 weeks time.
• Tsholofelo (10/5): -
• GAULTIER (10/5): Hotel luxueux à 200 mètres du kruger - Hotel très confortable et luxueux à 200 mètres de la porte du kruger. Restaurant très qualitatif et personnel très gentil. Nous recommandons sans hésiter
