    I think this place was just missing a good entertainment room with pool tables, games etc

    Food and staff service was one of the best I've ever had at a game reserve, the room was absolutely clean and room service was amazing. Close to Paul Kruger gate so easy access to the park. Definitely will be back!

    Very few and very inconvenient places to smoke. I would have sat with my friends at the bars more often if there was a convenient place to have a smoke.

    Atmosphere, food and friendly staff.

    monkeys. and the spa we were booked at the end of their shift they were eager to go home and they rushed through the treatment, otherwise they were friendly and welcoming.

    rooms were clean.location easily accessible from the main road.staff very friendly and hospitable.service par excellent. The game driver driver Muzi went above and beyond to keep us informed and engaged.he made the drive amazing, tried his best to make us to get to see the big five.

    It’s quite a bit property, it would be a plus if we had the use of golf carts especially for the elderly

    It’s positioned right next to the Paul Kruger gate, the infinity pool view where we could see animals was amazing

    The rooms are too basic and lack personality -they were ok in 90s, not today. It is overall a good hotel in a great location: just raise the prices and renew the rooms. The pictures on the website were misleading too.

    Staff was great, food plentiful and good, service excellent

    Nothing to dislike

    Everything. Right from the pick up at the airport, the welcome drinks, the staff, the guest relation officer, the room, the safari guides and the food. They have one of the most diverse breakfast and dinner buffet options. Loved the desserts and the drinks as well. Overall an excellent place to stay.

    I would have liked more quiet areas to be able to relax at night along the river. The evening entertainment was quite loud and my personal preference is peace and quiet in the bush. It would have been nice if the infinity pool stayed open until later at night. I think it closed around 7pm while the pool area only closed around 10pm.

    The staff were warm and welcoming and provided excellent service throughout the stay. I traveled with my 75 year old mother and she got the full "Magogo" treatment. Good location right next to the Paul Kruger gate with easyy access into the hub of the Kruger. I likerd the facilities and layout of th hotel. The inclusive dinners and breakfasts were very good with a wide selection of items. Drinks were very reasonably priced at South African levels and were not inflated for international tourists.

    Our chalet had no hot water and did not get rectified even though we tried ....breakfast pack on safari poor more of a kids lunch maybe less and quality compared to such high quality in the hotel

    We we're a family of five with three grown up kids and stayed in the chalet ...maybe a little modest for the family for size two beds are in the attic over the kitchen ...a pool beside the chalets was brilliant...the entertainment and dinner every night amazing ...safari drive was brilliant very cold at 5.30 but heated up after about two hours ...everything seemed to be no problem to make you more comfortable thank you

    It was a gorgeous place to stay with amenities galore. We upgraded to a premium room which was so worth the money. Our room was spacious with plenty of room to roam. The spa was fantastic with separate cabanas for most of the treatments facing the Kruger national park so you got to view some while life while being pampered. The food was spectacular and definitely pampered by the waiters. Very attentive to details.!

    The property is stunning and with a lot of activities. Our room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. The view from the pool is wonderful. We could swim while watching elephants and giraffes. The location is perfect, very close to Paul Kruger Gate and we had a wonderful 3 days safari experience! The food was excellent and the staff are very friendly, always with a welcoming smile. For my birthday we had a private dinner at the viewing deck and we could see the hippos. The dinner was delicious, the chef Zandre and his colleague Tshepo presented it beautifully. It was a memorable evening. On our next trip to the Kruger, we will definitely stay here again.

    We went to the older version of this hotel as kids with family many years ago. It’s sad that South Africans are no longer the target market given the price range. However my mom and her friend thoroughly enjoyed the experience!
