Spent four days while on a business trip. Staff go the extra mile, always courteous, the service is impeccable. I took clients to the Hotel restaurant for dinner, they are still as one put it..."Dreaming about the Karoo Lamb Chops" the food was excellent! Hotel is very well located, for business purposes this ideal. Highly recommended.

We stayed for the easter weekend. The first night we stayed. When arriving in the room, there was a faint smell of smelly pee coming from the bathroom. I tried to take a shower and while inside didn't notice that the shower door didn't close properly, so when I was done, the whole bathroom was flooded. The next morning, we... More

Perfect hotel for springboard into Kruger. Well situated next to large shopping mall for last minute supplies. The hotel is set in excellent grounds with well appointed rooms. Staff were friendly and excellent. Food is generous with a large choice, very good quality and excellent value. Business services are efficient. Well worth a stay for business or pleasure.

This hotel is conviently situated next to the mall & casino. It has a beautiful garden, we even spotted baboons in the garden! The room was fine - perfectly suited for my stay with all the necessaries. Breakfast was the usual fare but perfectably acceptable.

There's a warm welcome at this hotel but in terms of value for money it's pretty disappointing. The decor looks a little worn and tatty and the rooms are tired looking. Service in the restaurant is slow and the food is distinctly bland

The hotel was efficient and close to the major shopping mall in Nelspruit. However, taking into account the very pleasant, if not lavish, surroundings, we were a little disappointed a the size of our room and amenities offered (to note that we are registered preferred guests in their program). Overall good for the location, but we like hotels to go... More

Food not up to standard, both breakfast and dinner. Loud air con and no fridge in their room(s). Security, and work ethics, a huge disappointment,.I forgot an item and reported immediately after arrival when I was unpacking eight hours late and till this date no one is giving me a tangible explanation.
