Beautiful veranda on the Crocodile River where you can see elephants and manatees. We had a nice stay. Restful. Nicely cared for.

Prachtige stoep aan Krokodilrivier waar jy olifante en seekoeie kan sien. Ons het lekker gebly. Rustig. Mooi verzorgd.

See River Cottage Lodge again next year. Very nice please. Very friendly manager, Greg. Incredible view of the Kruger. Malelane gate excellent to run into Big 5.

Sien River Cottage Lodge weer volgende jaar. Baie lekker gerus. Baie vriendelike bestuurder, Greg. Ongelooflike uitsig oor die Kruger. Malelane hek uitstekend om Groot 5 raak te loop.

Would definitely recommend the place. Quiet surroundings and beautiful view of the Inn. Had a great time for 12 days. Units neat and clean, and have everything one needs. Location is excellent for driving into the game park at the Malelane or the Crocodile Bridge gate. Pool always clean and beautiful to cool off in, and gardens beautiful. View of the Crocodile River is beautiful, and saw a lot of wildlife across the river from the lookout by the pool. a good manager of River Cottage Lodge, always helpful and friendly, and helps out with any extra requests or necessary information!

Sal die plek definitief aanbeveel. Rustige omgewing en pragtige uitsig oor die Kro. Heerlik gekuier vir 12 dae. Eenhede netjies en skoon, en het alles wat mens nodig het. Ligging is uitstekend om in te ry wildtuin toe by die Malelane- of die Krokodilbrug-hek. Swembad altyd skoon en pragtig om in af te koel, en tuine pragtig. Uitsig oor die Krokodilrivier is pragtig, en het baie wild gesien oor die rivier vanuit die uitkyk by die swembad. 'n goeie bestuurder van River Cottage Lodge, altyd behulpsaam en vriendelik, en help uit met enige ekstra versoeke of nodige inligting!

Cottage of first choice for access to Southern Kruger Park. Wonderful location on the banks of the Crocodile River near shopping facilities at Malelane and access to Kruger Park. Comfortable old cottage and all necessary equipment. Lovely boma overlooking river and clean swimming pool. Very helpful friendly host.

Place where you can stay for a week or so and drive into Kruger Park every day as well. Ideally located on the Crocodile River! See Kruger Park's animals from your accommodation. Hospitable and beautiful surroundings. The equipment in the cottage/kitchen was only limited and upgrade/construction around living areas is unfinished. Once in place - perfect destination!

Plek waar mens vir 'n week of wat kan bly en elke dag inry Kruger Park toe ook. Ideaal geleë op die Krokodilrivier! Sien Kruger Park se diere vanaf jou blyplek. Gasvry en mooi omgewing. Die toerusting in die kothuis/kombuis was net beperk en opgradering/konstruksie rondom woonareas is onvoltooid. Sodra dit in plek is - perfekte bestemming!

Old world character, go there while you still can. Return visit. This is a great location, with a wonderful viewing terrace overlooking Kruger and a 'colonial' house with an ancient baobab! My room had a strong smoky odour, which was not pleasant, but they changed the pillows and sheets for the second night, and that was much better. The (new?) owner plans to totally refurbish and turn it into a private resort, so go there while you still can!

A hidden gem. To get here, you pass the train tracks and a sugar refinery! What will you discover? Despite this, it is a hidden gem, with old trees, an ancient baobab, and great views of Kruger (elephants, lion, buck, crocodiles). Feels like a bit of the old colonial world--don't modernize it too much. Really enjoyed the personal touch--and many fellow guests say they return every year. Only downside: stayed in two rooms, and the second smelled strongly of smoke.

Will stay there again. We had a great stay and the host and his wife were always friendly and helpful. The unit was tidy and regularly serviced.

Sal weer daar bly. Ons het lekker gebly en die gasheer en sy vrou was altyd vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die eenheid was netjies en gereeld gediens.
