“In the middle of africa”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2011

It's a great hotel and at the first sigh you might think it's a 5 star (have 4 stars)
It's perfect if you want leisure. The spa rooms and the surroundings are also great. The hotel is almost inside kruger. Must try the safaris. Ask at the reception of the hotel

“Excellent Entrance to Kruger for people who dont like to rough it”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2011

We had large beautiful rooms overlooking the Crocodile River and watched Elephants, Hippo and crocodiles (or course!) from the comfort of our balcony. The resort is laid out over several landscaped acres and is ideal for families with plenty of swimming pools and children's activities.
There is also a sumptuous first class spa using local African sourced essential oils and products for people wanting a break from game drives
The parts that really stood out were the wonderful friendly staff and truly excellent dinners and lunches.
There was also free wifi which was very handy
