Greatly overpriced and disappointing
31 Jul 2026
Rooms are definitely smaller and shabbier than what is shown on the website. Everything would need a good refurbishment (bedside lamps assembled with different pieces that don’t fit together, etc). Food at the buffet dinner very disappointing: grilled chicken wasn’t grilled, but kind of boiled and soaked in a BBQ-like sauce, vegetable rice inedible, sautéed vegetables tasted rancid. The only good point of the place is the terrace overlooking the river, and the staff that is indeed very nice and courteous.

**Terrible experience. Poor service, old hotel in urgent need of renovation. Meals are poorly served with a significant lack of basic products. The buffet lacks variety and sufficient quantity. Despite the friendliness, the staff has no training. I do not recommend it at all.**

Great location at entrance to Kruger

We spent two nights at the lodge. We had a room with a balcony overlooking the Crocodile River. We were able to watch hippopotami from our balcony in the river and foraging on the bankside. The room was large and the bed comfortable. It is in need of some refreshing and I saw a sign that stated that this was planned for 2026. The food was nothing special but plentiful, we were unable to eat all the food to us. The staff were helpful but the hotel could use some maintenance, for example, the pool needed some cleaning. Overall though, it was a good but not luxurious experience.

What a fantastic stopover! We were route from Kruger and needed a stop over. I called in the morning and made a reservation telephonically. The gentleman was polite and helpful and when we arrived after six in the evening, they knew who we were without even having to tell them our name. We were offered a welcome drink and check in was seamless. We arrived just after sunset but had the most beautiful view over the Crocodile River and Kruger beyond. Dinner was a delicious buffet on the deck under the stars. Our room was spotless and very comfortable. Breakfast was also a buffet which we had on the deck from where we could see hippos. I even had a mimosa and a delicious orange cake with my breakfast, because it was there and I was on holiday!! The staff were excellent, very friendly and the attention to detail was outstanding. All at the sane price as a Kruger Park rest-camp bungalow and dinner and breakfast at the camp restaurant. We were tempted to stay another night so we could relax at the pool and go for a spa treatment! All in all fantastic stay!
