Na reserva não fica claro sobre a não utilização da nova área de convivência para quem está nas cabanas. Nem bebida alcoólica se poderia vender. As cabanas precisam de reforma. Mas ainda ok.

2/10 Poor

Nous avons réservé un chalet pour notre fille de 2 ans, ma compagne et moi-même. Le chalet n’était pas propre du tout ! Des traces sur les draps, des excréments d’animaux frais et sécher, des traces de savons sécher… Seul l’emplacement avec les éléphants a proximités de la clôture et distance de crocodile bridge sont les points positif. Aucun accès au Wifi a moins de rester debout a l’extérieur près de la réception. De plus le gérant nous a demandé d’éteindre la Clim pour ne pas qu’il y est de coupure d’electricité.

UNA NOCHE MARAVILLOSA ENTRE ANIMALES.

Únicamente, me hospede una noche y sinceramente la habitación y todo es una pasada, se trata de un hotel que te hace recordar las películas típicas de África. Es una pasada, lastima de sólo haberme hospedado una noche, lo único malo que tiene es que si llegas después de las 18:00 horas tienes que llamar a un teléfono para que te abran la puerta, el problema es como en mi caso que sino tienes teléfono, pues tienes que buscar alguien que te ayude, por lo demás muy bonito.

Beautiful views of the Crocodile river and convenient location to the Crocodile Bridge gate. Rooms are spacious and air-conditioned, beds very comfortable. Great swimming pool. Kitchen a little small and located out of air-conditioned area but manageable. Family owned and operated with great service. Highly recommended!

The location is great, right next to Kruger and we were lucky to have hippos cavorting in the river right opposite. The lighting in the rooms could be brighter and the shower temperature was difficult to control.

Great location, great staff and ownership. Unit 1 and 2 are nice, but need a little attention to raise them to the standard of the other rooms.

Die Lage ist absolut phänomenal! An den Abenden begrüßte uns eine Herde Elefanten und auch andere Tiere leben direkt hinter dem Zaun zum Krüger National Park. Leider ist die Dusche ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen, daher auch unser Punktabzug in der Bewertung. In der Unterkunft ist alles vorhanden und im kleinen Ort (ca. 10 Fahrminuten entfernt) gibt es alles, was man zum Self-Catering benötigt. Der Gastgeber ist sehr hilfsbereit und beantwortet alle Fragen. Wir können die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall sehr empfehlen!!! Definitiv buchen!

The property is ideally located at crocodile bridge gate and has amazing opportunities to photograph animals from your own patio. Units 1 & 2 are very nice, but could do with a coat of paint.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Die Lage der Unterkunft ist super, direkt am Park. Man kann sogar von seiner Terrasse aus schon Tiere beobachten- zu unserem Zeitpunkt lief eine Herde Elephanten vorbei und Büffel waren regelmäßig da. Die Unterkunft selber ist schlicht eingerichtet, man hat viel Platz, Sauberkeit mäßig gut- man lebt aber auch wirklich in der Natur ! Das Strohdach hält nur die größeren Tiere ab wie Affen , Käfer, Falter oder Ameisen kommen regelmäßig zu Besuch . Täglicher Zimmersevice gut.

Locatie is perfect. Persoonlijk vond ik het huisje een beetje te muf. Ook was de airco zo bizar smerig dat we die niet wilde gebruiken. (moet er wel bijzeggen dat ik een beetje verwend ben ;)) Locaties was ideaal, staff geweldig en bedden super lekker.

Loved our stay here. Our cabin "Ingulule" was spacious and being on stilts from our private deck we had an amazing view looking into Kruger National Park. We were fortunate to see a herd of elephants right across from our cabin the day we arrived. Loved the peace and quiet and good location. Would definitely stay here again.
