I have stayed at some other hotels and lodges in White River, but the accommodations and convenience at this hotel are hard to beat. First, and the most important thing, is that the bed is one of the most comfortable hotel beds I have ever slept in. We liked the more modern take on furnishings and the hotel's design, and... More

Boutique Hotel with spacious well appointed Rooms. Close to a major road so a bit noisy at night. Magonlia Restaurant offers the best food we've had in a while and the shopping at Casterbridge Lifestyle Centre was the highlight of our stay!! Helpful staff

We stayed at the Casterbridge Hotel in Whiteriver in Feb 2012 as a couple and while we had some gripes because the towels were smelly and the poor staff who were clearly beginners, we had a really great time, specifically enjoying the amazing surroundings. Things went horribly wrong on the last evening of our stay, when relaxing in our room... More

We would like take the opportunity to again profusely apologise for the genuine mistake made by the Security Guard who entered your room. Part of our responsibility as a Green Hotel, is to avoid excess electricity usage by checking unoccupied rooms each evening to ensure the air conditioner and lights are off. This is what our Security Guard was doing... More

Very comfortable overnight stay for family of 4 (family room double bed plus two singles). Rooms are well furnished - boutique hotel style and... More

This was a short trip with friends to visit the Kruger area. The hotel has a nice location near the Nelspruit airport along with all the surrounding area attractions. It was particularly nice for a group of four ladies wanting a bit of shopping and good food. We arrived at 1pm and were told that one of our rooms was... More

This hotel is very well located, with plenty of good restaurants and shops around and also not too far from the Kruger for one-day outing. The premises are very nice as this hotel is new. Rooms are nicely decorated with plenty of space as well Unfortunately during our stay power was off for more than 24 hours, which means no... More
