Resort with excellent location on river
We hired 2 chalets' no's 528 & 529. 528 was in good shape but 589 was not. The master bedroom carpets were dirty and the chalet needed painting. We paid for half board but found the food generally very poor. Breakfast was OK with eggs cooked while you waited, the sausages and bacon were good but there was little fresh fruit. The evening meal starters were poor, those which should have been hot were cold and the roast was generally overcooked. The facilities this resort offers are excellent with Tennis, Table tennis, a small Pool table, a nice swimming pool and of course, Golf. The hippo pool and hide are well worth a visit with good views of a large number of hippos. We also saw kingfishers, a darter and egrets.

Kruger Park Lodge - stayed for 4 nights
Great hotel for families. Lots of activities for kids especially during school holidays when there is an entertainment co-ordinator arranging lots of varied games and activities for the kids. The accommodation was very clean and spacious with everything you need including washing machine and a bbq on the deck. Close to the town/shopping Centre and Kruger NP but would highly recommend having your own vehicle to get around.

Beautiful Property
The resort is great - you can do a ton of game and bird viewing on premesis. The only thing I would highly recommend is using the Numbi gate to Kruger rather than the Phabeni Gate. Phabeni is closer but MUCH ruder and much busier. Numbi is an extra 5 minute drive but well worth diversion.

Good rooms, shame about the service
5 nights in a 3 bed chalet. House and surrounds were very good although they could not provide a baby cot until the next day despite our request when booking. food from the buffet was average at best, the service was without one smile (the only place we experienced this on the whole trip) and the music in the restaurant (plus the menu) gives the feel of a place stuck in the 80s.

Great location but poor service
We arrive at Kruger Park Lodge late at night and for one night only - a stopover before safari. It is a great location and great set up with cottages that are clearly timeshare, weekly rentals and the odd stopover guest. The site is very secure and with a golf course, swimming pool, great kids play area and wild animals on view from the edges of the resort - it is an idyllic setting. The main let down for us, were the staff, who weren't exactly welcoming and also did the minimum to make you feel comfortable. Simple things like showing you to the lodge and explaining the facilities, timings for meals, what's included and what's not etc etc Instead we were drawn a map, and in the dark, told to find the cottage. It strikes me that if you're a one night visitor they don't know how to accommodate you, as they are predominantly set up for timeshare (minimal) support

Good hotel for family, but the food is lacking.
Our initial impression of this hotel was negative, but improved after the first night. When we checked in, the chalet we were assigned was not clean. Someone had left a window open and there were bird droppings in the kitchen area and the hallway leading to the bedroom. We were then given another chalet, but it was difficult for us to find it in the dark. Someone finally came from the office after we had frighten all of our resident neighbors. Things did improve from there. The second chalet was clean, free of pests and comfortable. Except for the toaster, all the appliances were in good working order. The best feature of this hotel is the Hippo Hide where we were able to see hippos up close and we also saw a crocodile. The biggest disappointment for us was the food. It lacked a lot to be desired. The only thing that I can rate highly on the menu is the calamari. Therefore, I would recommend this place, but only if one plans to eat elsewhere. The security makes up for all other short comings of this facility. It is gated and guarded 24x7. We felt secure the entire stay.

A noter des hippo dans la mare et d agreables equipements comme tennis , billard , mini golf , trempolins . Restaurant qui pourrait etre bien mais jamais de feu dans la cheminee malgré 5 degres dehors , table avec nappe en plastique et des serveuses desagreables et tete en l air qui oublient les commandes en se curant les dents avec une allumette ...

Ok Hotel, but better places around
The location is ok but not more. It is close to Kruger Park and in a golf club resort. Staff is very friendly and helpful. However, the rooms are outdated and worn out and need upgrading to keep up expected standards. WiFi is quite expensive charged by MB. I would not recommend this place anymore as there are better places around.

Charmant et hors du monde
Charmant de voir des gazelles de la terrasse au petit matin ou d'aller observer des hippos dans la rivière qui traverse le lodge. Sympa le grand chalet à toit de chaume. On se sent hors du monde, pas de wifi dans le chalet. Ca peut réserver des surprises. Je me suis fait voler ma CB au mall du coin. Retour en deux minutes à l'hotel pour passer un coup de fil et l'annuler... Pas possible d'appeler à l'international ni du chalet ni de la réception! Manager incapable de répondre à la situation. La directrice générale m'a ouvert son bureau, m'a fait accompagner à la police. Très bien mais j'ai mis une heure avant de joindre ma banque.

Raumwunder!
Ist eigentlich gar kein Hotel. Wir haben zwei Zimmer gebucht und bekamen ein 200qm Ferienhaus zur Verfügung gestellt. Wir fühlten uns wie Einheimische mit eigenem Feriendomizil. Die Häuser sind geschmackvoll über einen 9-Loch Golfplatz verteilt. Die Reception, ein riesiges reetgedecktes Haus, ist auch Frühstück- und Abendessenplatz. Es gibt zwei öffelntlich Poos und einen tollen Kinderspielplatz mit Trampolin. Der Service ist nett und war supertolerant mit Ein- und Aus-Checkzeiten.
