A beautiful, peaceful place where you should stay for at least 2 days. The 2-bedroom wooden house was basic with everything you need. The porch was the kitchen and lounge with a lovely view of the river. A lovely peaceful place. Beautiful lawns, bar with beautiful views. The management of the place was exceptionally friendly and hospitable. One night is too little.

'n Pragtige, rustige plek waar jy ten minste 2 dae moet oorbly. Die 2-slaapkamer hout huisie was basies met alles wat jy nodig het. Die stoep was die kombuis en kuierplek met 'n lieflike uitsig oor die rivier. 'n Heerlike rustige plek. Pragtige grasperke, kroeg met pragtige uitsig. Die plek se bestuur was besonder vriendelik en gasvry. Een nag is te min.

A home away from home! A refreshing experience. The management was readily available to assist when there was a need. My family really enjoyed the stay.

Stay was 10 out of 10. The people are so friendly. They made us feel so at home. The food was top notch. Definitely a place we will visit again. We had such a good time, we didn't want to go home.

Verblyf was 10 uit 10. Die mense is so vriendelik. Hulle het ons so tuis laat voel. Die kos was uit die boonste rakke. Definitief 'n plek wat ons weer sal besoek. Ons het so lekker gebly, ons wou nie huis toe gaan nie.

Great place at a great location. Lovely rustic lodge on the Crocodile River. 10 minutes from Mbombela. Accommodation was basic and equipped with the basics as well. The kitchen could do with a few extra items such as salad bowls, ice trays and braai dishes, so bring those along. It was very peaceful and the hippos and birds were a bonus. Although the lodge has a restaurant, it is restricted to arranging for meals beforehand, so not fully functional. But all in all, we loved our stay. Hosts were friendly and amazing, and we had some great chats. Will definitely be going back.

Beautiful quiet environment where you can live close to nature. Friendly helpful management. Very neat and clean place to live. A lot of effort is made to keep the scenery and gardens very nice. Wish we could have seen the hippos, but had the privilege of being visited by night owls.

Pragtige stil omgewing waar jy naby natuur kan leef. Vriendelike behulpsame bestuur. Baie netjiese skoon woonplekkie. Daar word baie moeite gedoen om die natuurskoon en tuine baie mooi te hou. Wens ons kon die hippo's sien, maar het die voorreg gehad dat nagapie ons besoek het.

Comfortable and satisfied. Nice stay, only a few things in the kitchen that are broken. Lids etc., otherwise everything was perfect.

Gemaklik en tevrede. Lekker gebly, net 'n paar goedjies in die kombuis wat stukkend is. Deksels ens., anders was alles perfek.

Hospitable, welcoming, comfortable, breathtakingly beautiful scenery. We were kindly received and felt like we were visiting family.

Gasvry, verwelkomend, gerieflik, asemrowend mooi natuurskoon. Ons was vriendelik ontvang en het gevoel of ons by familie kuier.

Peaceful and breathtaking experience! Quiet weekend getaway to just recharge. Beautiful surroundings and silence with only nature's sounds surrounding you.

Rustige en asemrowende belewenis! Rustige naweek-wegbreek om net te herlaai. Pragtige omgewing en stilte met net die natuur se geluide wat jou omring.
