“Hippos close up !”
+Hotel has riverside location, set back from road. Mirelle very welcoming and took us on tour of hotel area to show us hippos and took us to room, she also recommended 3 bridges restaurant 5 minutes drive away which was excellent and had lovely gift shop next door with beautiful objects made by locals. ask for accommodation near river , we wished we had as can watch hippos from there to your hearts content ! Crocs also seen. Lots of monkeys in grounds , didn't see elephants but could see where they had been ! Lovely grounds despite obvious lack of rain recently. Really good value with delicious breakfast I would definitely recommend this place if you like to watch hippos !

“Upgrade needed”
+Friendly owner and staff and nice food, but the resort needs some serious attention in terms of upgrading - at the moment it's just plain ugly with unplastered holes in outside walls, a potholed approach road and half finished building work everywhere. It's a shame because there is great potential given the riverside location.

“Bad Service”
+Very disappointing. Resort did not know we were coming, but payment was done two days before. Restaurant was closed because we were the only people. Room was downgraded and now refund was given (too much of a hassle according to them. No warm water at all in the room. The Television did not work.

“Nice place next to the Kruger Park”
+Nice place, perfect stage on the way to go to the Kruger Park ( close to the Orpen and Phallabora Gate ). We stayed in a roundavel totally equipped for a very good price. The name of the hotel is real, on the morning, take time to go to the river and have a look on hippos …be careful of crocodiles ( not seen for us ). Merrill gave us very good advices and we were perfectly welcomed in this hotel.
