The staff were very friendly but lacked organizational skills especially at the bar and restaurant Required to check out and pay the government hotel charges which we were unaware of Generally it was clean and tidy with excellent views from the balcony
Ian, 7-night trip

2/10 Poor

Told on arrival that there had been a mistake in booking and we were to be accomodated at a grossly inferior hotel 2km away although we had booked months ago. Eventually they found us a room but other friends were not so fortunate. It has become apparent that overbooking is a regular practice here. Beware.

I was very disgusted that there were no options for cows milk or gluten intollerent, vegan or diabetic guests. We travel a lot and all over the world and all hotels make provision. More and more people have food allergies etc. Even in Kruger park there were for instance almond milk substitute.

Estadia agradável e excelente comida.

Quarto espaçoso com chá, café e água incluídos. O sofá cama para a terceira pessoa não é tão bem arrumado quanto a cama. O ponto alto é a localização e o restaurante. A comida é deliciosa com várias opções no cardápio a lá carte. Comemos filet, carneiro, avestruz, picanha, todas as carnes preparadas com esmero, todas macias e saborosas. Os vinhos também são bons e os preços são justos. Vale a pena comer lá, dependendo do horário ainda se desfruta da paisagem com vários animais entre eles hipopótamos, várias espécies de cervos, javalis, macacos e outros. Fornecem também toalhas para piscina.

This is a great choice is you don't want or can't stay inside the park. The property is literally on the river that serves as the southern boundary for the park - you can watch animals from the common patio. My only complaint is that the common area doubles as a dining area for the restaurant (which is so so). If you have your own food, snacks, wine etc. - there is no place other than you room that you are allowed to consume them. Slightly less stringent policies would be a step up.

Our stay was excellent. The service & food was great and the staff were very friendly. The unit was really comfortable but could do with minor improvements, the air con was almost non functional in ours. The main reception restrooms needed attention & better lighting. Really enjoyed our stay though & will return again!
