We picked this one because of many positiv reviews and our expectations have even been exceeded. Very cosy atmosphere with extraordinary furnishing. Friendly and very helpful staff. The viewing deck above the river is a must, plan to stay a whole day there and enjoy the wildlife. We spottet crocs, elephants, hippos, buffalos and many more. Will be back for sure if get the chance!

The viewing deck looking over the Crocodile River is unbeatable, very nice sightings of animals :) The host – Johan was very warm and welcoming and most accommodating especially with regards to the parking of our car, which was most appreciated. Thank you for that Johan. There is no secure parking, so cars are having to park in the open on the street. In South Africa that is not a safe option. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The meals where okay, very basic. The lodge is very clean, tidy and well maintained. The rooms are very dated and tired looking but that is just me as I like the more modern look and feel of a hotel/lodge. The bed was comfortable but hard as well as the pillows, they do need to be replaced together with the towels in the bathroom. The only downside we had on our stay, which was in no way under the control of the host. 2 houses away was a stag party who partied all day and well into the night with loud music and their shenanigans the entire time we were there. This was very disturbing and very annoying. Again, the host cannot control this but be aware of this. Overall, if you like the quaint and eccentric look of a place then you would not mind this place.

Had a great stay. The hosts were very lovely in helping arrange an afternoon game drive. The views are definitely amazing by crocodile river.

Hello - a last minute stop after travel delays. Just called in as it was getting dark and needed a room, and secured DBB. Dinner was a tasty set menu. Breakfast was simple but tasty too. Rooms were dark and rather dated but i believe they are working on bathroom upgrades soon. Comfortable. The decking area views were fantastic! So many animals and birds without even setting foot (or paying entry fee!) into Krueger!! Johan was welcoming and kind. Hotel is close to a big spar and small Woolworths.

Location of the hotel is wondeeful! The hotel is located on the banks of the crocodile river and from the hotel terrace you can watch animals all day in the river and on both banks of the river. I advise you to take binoculars with you:). From the terrace we are lucky to see crocodiles, elephants, antelopes, buffaloes, monkeys, hippopotamuses. The interior of the hotel is a little tired. But the attention of the hotel staff to me and to my family blocked all the very minor shortcomings of the hotel. Especially many thanks to Johan Daffue, who solved all the issues with which we addressed to him: excursions, currency exchange, transfers, etc.

View from the terrace on the Kruger Nationalpark on the other side of Crocodile River unbeatable. Spent most time there. The lodge itself desperately needs renovation and above all new mattresses. Lies in a calm and safe area.

The room was v good and had a super view of the Crocodile River. Lots of hot water good towels. The doors were difficult to open. Bed very comfortable. Food...home style cooking. The bar cost for housewine R272 per bottle a bit costly in my opnion. The garden and swimming pool excellent and a great viewing deck in front of the River. We hope to return soon.

the location for viewing game is unbeatable , but you need to tolerate some drawbacks. Our room was dark , the materials old. The hotel and rooms are very dated. the dinner and breakfast were also very basic.

An excellent break away from it all in the bush. Awaken to the sounds of Hippos in the river and with the park a stone's throw away the lodge is ideally located. The hosts and staff are suberb and very accomodating!
