Everything was fantastic. We enjoyed the room, the view, the seating areas, hospitality, service, and food. I’ve stayed at a lot of places around the world and I have to say this is one of my top places, and also the most affordable hotel of all my favorites.
Watching the animals across the river in Kruger, the 3 course meal for dinner, great atmosphere and attentive service made it a real experience. The price was also really reasonable for what you get.
My only regret is not staying longer. Thank you Johan for helping us!

The location is perfect for easy access to the Malalane Gate at Kruger. The views from the rooms and lookout deck are amazing. Watching hippo and crocodiles in the river, and elephants and buck come down to the river to drink. The food is tasty and large portions, very affordable. The bar service is very reasonably priced, Rooms are comfy, not overly large, but perfectly suited for a couple. Piping hot water and nice water pressure
Unfortunately the town municipal water pump is adjacent to the premises and had broken during our stay. The municipality had installed a temporary pump to extract water from the river, which resulted in a constant hum of the pump running that detracted from the peace and quite that would normally been experienced. Normally you would not hear the municipal pump.
