Oliver's Restaurant & Lodge

Oliver’s is outstanding in every way. Convenient to the airport and the Numbi Gate of Kruger National Park, my family had a most memorable stay at Oliver’s. The facility, property layout, service, and hospitality were unmatched. The food was simply astounding and the chef always accommodated my son’s food allergies to make sure he also had an enjoyable meal. If restaurants receive five stars as the highest rating, I would give Oliver’s at least 6! I travel for business often in Africa from the US, but this was my first time taking my family for vacation. Yes, it’s a long way from home, but the service and food at Oliver’s made the journey well worth it. In addition, they kindly arranged transportation for us from and to the airport and also connected us to top notch safari and tour guides. I cannot say enough great things about our experience at Oliver’s!!! Congratulations and thanks to the proprietor for a first rate operation.

Some friends told us about Olivers before we went on our journey to South Africa. We had three wonderful days at Olivers, and enjoyed every minute. This place has a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They made us feel welcome and comfortable. The food is delicate and very well tasting. The rooms are spacious and nice. The location is quiet and feels safe. We simply fell in love and really hope to come back to this wonderful place. We will recommend Olivers to all our friends.

I visted this hotel with my wife for a weekend away. The location is good for golfers - there is a nice golf course. We are novices in golf, still learning. For that, it was a disappointment that there wa not a drive range there. But they had a training area, where we practiced some chirping and putting. We also went for a ride for some of the scenery attractions. Unfortunately the weather was at its worst in the last days and we couldn't see al we wanted - too foggy. But it was within the reach of several nice scenic routes and places. A bit too far for a one day trip to the Blyde River Canyon. You may consider closer alternatives. But, as a place for relaxing, it is cozy and the atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing. We didn't try the spa, but friends had recommended it to us. Maybe some other time. The restaurant, also recommended by the same firends, is a good one but not the best (3.5-4 of 5, I would say). The service is very good with very friendly and pleasant staff. We plan to return.

An absolutely amazing place to stay at. Been here before and never had a reason to complain. Will recommend it to travelers
