Hazyview hotellia

Plussat: Breakfasts, attentive staff, great location

Miinukset: No fridge or glasses in the room. Bar could’ve better, not very accommodating.

Plussat: The staff were EXCELLENT! So friendly, pleasant, helpful and happy. They made us a beautiful big fire and even washed our car. Really great service! The lodge is excellent value for money. The hippos in the river give you a glorious show all day and night, really loved this place!

Miinukset: The set menu dinner was not great.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great hospitality and peace of mind

Plussat: The view from the cabin

Miinukset: One does not feel safe when staying at the lodge. The area is surrounded by squatter camps and people asking for money and food. The supper was okay, and they can definitely improve on the breakfast - poor offering and very bad coffee. The spelling on the menu is atrocious. No wi-fi and poor / non existant cellphone signal.

Plussat: Service, rooms and meals excellent - just be clear when you book to state if you want a river facing room. View of the Sabie River where a pod of hippos were playing all day long was a real treat.

Miinukset: We visited the lodge on 26-28 June. Friday afternoon and evening was lovely, we relaxed on the deck , had a lovely dinner. We went to the Kruger park on Saturday and arrived at the lodge at 16:30. On our arrival we went down to the deck again to have some sundowners. There were other guests there whom was playing loud music. We find this unacceptable seeing it is a Bush Lodge and we went there to get away from the noise etc of the city. We asked the staff to ask them to softer the music or put it off. We were informed that they already asked them and they are difficult. We were also informed that some of the people there at that moment was not booked guests and will be leaving at 18:00. I did not realize that outside people can visit guests. But in any case it was a long evening with the guest making such a fuss and not thinking about any of the other guests. We actually wanted to have our dinner on the deck, but this was not possible due to the these other people quarreling the whole time. The owner did phone us after I send him an email and did apologize, as well as the manager. I think the management at the Lodge needs to make sure that the rules of the Lodge are explained to all the guests.

Plussat: Everything was great, from the staff to the room and of course the hippos in the Sabie River that keep you company all day! We loved it!

Plussat: Dinner was excellent. The staff was always friendly.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Hippos in the Sabie river and Elephants in the Kruger National park visable from the pool deck the bar and the small resturant very relaxing spot with wireless internet at no charge great!

Miinukset: the safari tent was not secure belongings had to be locked in the car or in the small kitchen assigned to our tent otherwise this is a great spot highly recommend it! arriving or leaving Kruger its perfect.

Plussat: Location overlooking Sabie River, close to Kruger Gate, nice restaurant infrastructure, beautiful porch, most attentive staff

Miinukset: some of rooms really small and dark (OK if you only spend the night....), being a vegetarian, don't expect culinary miracles.....

Plussat: Very pleasant very good as a base to relax after a day sight seeing. food good staff very helpful.

Plussat: I really like those huge canvas tents with verandas facing the Sabie river and the Kruger Park behind the fence. Very conveniently located close to the Paul Kruger gate.

Miinukset: The dinner meals were a little bit on the basic side. Hazyviews restaurants are not close enough for an alternative.

Plussat: the staff were truly very courteous and good customer care skills. the location on the banks of the SAbie River provide opportunities for surprising sighting - 4 big elephants paid a visit

Miinukset: nothing - but i do have a genuine complaint. and i believe it was not handled professionally

Plussat: Staff were friendly

Miinukset: Not change bedding and towels every day. No spray at toilets.

Plussat: The river view topped it all, cleanliness.

Miinukset: The kids were not happy with the times set for water slides.

Plussat: The chalets were clean. The restaurant serves amazing food

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: The staff are very friendly, the rooms are clean and comfortable.

Miinukset: The rooms/cabanas are not fitted with aircons and they get very hot during the day, they were understaffed during our stay so delivery from the restaurant took an unreasonably long

Plussat: Croissants were tasty and the bed very comfortable.the welcome was great and service on point

Miinukset: I think I could have stayed for a bit longer because I didn’t get enough time to do everything I planned to do.there are lots of activities

Plussat: Great location and really had fun!

Miinukset: Water pressure was sometimes a bit low. Backup power for load shedding.

Plussat: Everything about the place was exceptional

Miinukset: The quality of pots was not good.

Plussat: The entertainment area was very enjoyable for the kids. The pools are clean and centrally located. The rooms are lovely, very spacious and comfortable

Miinukset: That even though we paid in full for accommodation a fee is still charged for the use of the slides. There isn't much of a variety of food at the restaurant

Plussat: Calm and with a lot of green. Near the river and the restaurant as a river view. There are a lot of things to do, ping pong, snooker, pools, a water slide and put put to play. It is near to the Kruger Park entrance of Numbi Gate and Phambeni Gate.

Miinukset: In the house that we stayed there was no wifi. The beds were not very clean, there were stains on the pillows. Also, the table on the varanda was not very clean.

Plussat: Beautiful place, beautiful room, great service, great food and hippos!!!

Plussat: Stayed three nights in the end. 1 before safari and 2 after. A good place to chill and recharge the batteries. Really nice location by river with the elephant sanctuary and shangaan river club for entertainment. Would stay again

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The pool side is perfect The coffee shop by the dam nice The breakfast was perfect Restaurant stuff friendly and nice

Miinukset: The units were both dirty. Cockroach’s in the unit 21 Bathtub basin and toilet was dirty unit 22 Receptionist not accommodating /not friendly at all Towels are old.

Plussat: The room was very spacious and beautiful. Loved the attached private garden. Staff were very pleasant and helpful and the menu was delicious.

Miinukset: The lighting in the lounge area was poor and not conducive to reading. We had to get some extra light bulbs and I had even requested an extra lamp. Good lighting would have been nice but not a deal-breaker.

Plussat: The Hotel was a place were we could relax with no noise.

Miinukset: No, for a four star hotel everything was ok.

Plussat: The resort is magnificent and the staff very helpful and friendly. Price is very reasonable.

Plussat: Welcome at the gate and reception. Friendly staff. Lay out and atmosphere - out of this world, very accommodating

Miinukset: Nothing at all - loved every minute will be back for sure. My companion's been going for many years and is still impressed

Plussat: Convenient

Miinukset: The staff were too busy worrying about their evening event to bother with the guests. I was chased 5 times for details of my credit card. I had stayed there twice before but it made no difference. The credit card confirmation form they sent atteched to an e-mail would not open I replied but still got 2 phone calls

Plussat: Everything! Friendly staff, great food and beautiful rooms.

Miinukset: Everything was perfect.

Plussat: Lovely staff, beautiful place! Nice room, good food!

Plussat: The gardens and view from the pool are incredible. The rooms were spacious, the bed is comfy, linen is fresh and the design is simple but effective. The balcony was a nice extra. Breakfast was delicious and had loads of different options. Curried eggs were especially good!

Miinukset: We were unlucky as the electricity went off (not the hotel's fault) and the generator was quite loud and close to the main building where we were staying.

Plussat: The welcome was good.the room was great for a budget room.the food was great.great views of the bush and mountains. Peaceful

Miinukset: Wifi needs to be able to connect in every room

Plussat: Beautiful surroundings. Lovely restaurant and meals.

Miinukset: No TV in the rooms. Too much lighting outside the rooms at night.

Plussat: A very good accommodation. Very nice rooms in separate chalets. Very quiet. Dinner and breakfast was nice. It is not so easy to find the road to the hotel.

Miinukset: There was a picture of that horrible girl from Sweden "Greta" at the wall of the room. I simply do not like any politics in a hotel room. I covered that horrible picture with a sheet of paper. Than I had a restfull sleep!

Plussat: The room was not up to the standard i expected. plus i found dirty bloody sheets... how disgusting. the room was full of mosquitoes and the staff didn't want to assist resolving that problem.

Miinukset: the tour to kruger was really nice. the tour guide was exceptional!

Plussat: The breakfast was very nice The place is tranquil The staff member are really friendly, its a pity that we were directed to an external source for the game drive which cost a lot more than that which my daughter had arranged with the resort.

Miinukset: Even though my daughter who booked the place for us, arranged the game drive with the staff beforehand upon wanting to pay we were directed to another source who charged us a lot more

Plussat: The staff members were very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious and the place was clean.

Miinukset: Nothing at all.

Plussat: The environment was nice and peaceful

Miinukset: The was nothing to dislike

Plussat: Great hotel near kruger. Safe and 24/7 security. Nice clean big room, good restaurant(3 course 195pp) and big breakfast with lots of choises.

Miinukset: It's a 25-30min drive to closest gate not 15 ;) no wifi in the room only at reception but it didn't work when we got there

Plussat: Staff pleasant. Lovely clean pool

Miinukset: I had the evening dinner. At R195 I thought it would be exceptional.The T bone was so tough I choked on it. Enjoyed the Malva pudding. I decided to skip breakfast. I elected to stay in tented accommodation. Very noisy due to location of main road.

Plussat: The excellent customer service from Patrick the security,

Plussat: The room was clean and relax, breakfast was very good, the view and the aura in the hotel is perfect.

Plussat: Lovely, huge property, each room is actually a cottage (big rooms, with lots of space) and the tasteful design made it that the bathroom is another interior cottage. All amenities are provided and the property is tastefully decorated in colonial style, it has a pool, big garden, bar area. The staff is very approachable, explained us lots of things, offered advice and details on what to see in the area, especially in Kruger (Skukuza camp - Lower Sabie - Crocodile Bridge route). Also, advance communication was really good, staff sent us very detailed instructions on which roads to take to get to the property, info on which roads have tolls etc. We also had dinner at the property (notified them in advance that we wanted dinner, we paid separately for it) - which was great, 3 course menu with fish as a starter, ostrich steak as main and ice cream as desert, just perfect! Free parking, security guards 24/7 at the entrance and some monkeys wondering around. Very relaxing atmosphere, I would recommend this lodge!

Miinukset: Just be aware that due to the drought in the last few years, the river bed changed and various sediments now infiltrate the water (from the tap, shower, toilet etc) - water is totally safe, drinkable, soft, but it looks dirty, it has minerals in it which give it a brownish colour, which doesn’t look great. Again, it’s nothing to worry about and it’s nothing the Lodge can do about it (it’s in the whole area), but just be aware and don’t get scared. From the main road, it’s about 2km drive to the property - the “road” is marked, but the bush is quite high (we went in Jan), so it could be a bit tricky to drive in a small car, maybe if they cut the bush in the centre of the “road” it could be easier.

Plussat: Breakfast was good. They serve eggs, mushroom and bacon as hot plate. Everything is tasty and good. Location is great. Nice and quite place to relax. Very good located very close to most activities around. Perfect value for the price.

Plussat: We loved the room, so cozy and clean. The grounds were lovely. The dinner we had was one of our most memorable meals of our trip in South Africa. We we wish were staying more than one night to fully enjoy it.

Plussat: the breakfast was superb. the hosts were amazing. the place is quite, which was good for resting. We loved the outdoor view. the staff was friendly. We saw plenty of animals too, which was even more beautiful.

Miinukset: TV in the rooms is not there......I wish they could do something about that. Instead of having to go and watch it in the main room.

Plussat: The owners and stuff are super friendly! It was so warm and welcoming. Our comfort was their main proitority. Their food was amazing. The rooms are extremely clean. I really enjoyed my stay here!!!

Miinukset: Nothing. Everything was perfect

Plussat: Staff were excellent and very friendly , location, value

Miinukset: Nothing. Perhaps the lighting in the dining room could have been better

Plussat: This is a perfect place for travellers to Mpumalanga region and Kruger Park, it´s about 20 kilometres away from Phabene Gate in the Kruger Park. It is very easy to find and there is a really good familiar environment and attention! the breakfast is included and prepared at the moment for you and the prices are very competitive, the rooms are really big and the lodge is in the middle of a jungle-like place! the only noise you can hear are the birds in the morning, a really relaxing experience! Apart from that, they offer a wide range of rooms, spacious and prepared for families, we stayed there 4 adults and it was a great experience, it was like living in a cottage in the middle of the jungle, but also convenient to the main villages&shops!

Plussat: The lodge is perfectly situated in an idyllic and quiet surrounding. The cottages offer a wonderful ambience to relax and enjoy the nature around the lodge. The warm welcoming and exceptional friendliness of the owner, owners family and staff made this one of our most enjoyable stays in South Africa.

Plussat: Owner very friendly. Good evening meal (last minute order and still very good). Clean accommodation.

Miinukset: No electricity for breakfast (no toaster machine). Accomodation without TV.

Plussat: This is an incredible beautiful place in the middle of nature. Once you are there you don't want to leave. Your hosts take care of everything, you can do day excursions (including Kruger Park) or just relax. Magnificent place.

Plussat: Like the vintage feel to the lodge. nice and quiet. tranquility is in order.

Plussat: Oh this lil gem will soon see us again! Attention to detail! Excellent service, Friendly staff! Rooms are Fantastic, luxurious and planned so clever!

Miinukset: We liked every single detail!

Plussat: The hotel rooms were stunning, clean and very luxurious! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The restaurant food - both dinner and breakfast - far exceeded my expectations and was delicious!

Miinukset: The hotel is located relatively close to a busy road so you hear the odd truck passing through. However, this wasn't major and did not really disturb us.

Plussat: The room was nice and big and air conditioned

Miinukset: Electricity cutoffs

Plussat: Perrys Bridge is a great place to stay for anyone considering a visit to the Southern Kruger Park and Blyde River Canyon. The staff are so friendly, accommodation comfortable and food / cocktails excellent. There’s also a small pool for a refreshing dip.

Miinukset: The location isn’t particularly pretty.

Plussat: Very fiendly staff. Spacious room. Excellent food.

Miinukset: The WIfi qualitywas poor

Plussat: Staff was really friendly and helpful! Excelente professionals! The rooms are spectacular and the Kuka Restaurant has delicious meals (chef’s speciality) and Kraft beer (Kuka Lager)! Thumbs up for this hotel!!

Miinukset: Absolutely nothing!

Plussat: The rooms are spacious and nice The outside shower is nice. The poolarea is nice.

Miinukset: The inside bathroom requires a refit and is bit old. There is a minibar but it was empty. The reception service needs some improvement, we asked for a tour in a crocodile farm close by but according the receptionist this farm did not exist anymore. However when phoning them ourselves this was not the case and we did the tour.

Plussat: They staff is very friendly and the rooms are nice and big. Very close to Phabeni Gate, perfect for Kruger. the diner in the hotel restaurant is also very good.

Plussat: Stunning rooms and bathrooms. Very comfortable bed with good bedlinen and a full mosquito net. Fridge well stocked and fresh milk which I'd requested was in the fridge. A prepackaged breakfast was ready for our game drive which was organised by the owners. The owners were extremely welcoming and hospitable.

Plussat: Because of our relatively long stay we were upgraded to the very large and comfortable self-catering unit (including breakfast!) which is a replica of a Zulu-dwelling. We received some basic information over a Welcome Drink but a lot more tips, advice and interesting information are given during the daily "happy hour" get-togethers. Most guests will stay for a few nights and visit the Kruger Park (the Phabeni Gate is around the corner) and do the Panorama Route but for golfers like us this place is also perfectly located with two beautiful courses very close by and a few more not too far away. Philip, the owner, may even challenge you for a round but don't be fooled by his presentation as a hacker! The place itself is very well kept, lovely beds and bedlinen and nice bathroom accessories. The breakfast is very good too. Margi and Philip do their utmost to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible and they definitely succeed in doing this. We can highly recommend this home away from home; we came as guests and left as friends.

Miinukset: A very small drawback is the dark (but very clean) swimming pool and grassy sit-out area which initially look less than inviting but that is only the first impression. The Wi-Fi in the room was a bit irregular/weak at times.

Plussat: A little bit of paradise. We really enjoyed our stay and made to feel very welcome. Breakfast was excellent and the packed breakfast on our safari day was lovely and provided in a cooler bag with ice block to keep it cool for us, nice touch. Rooms were lovely exactly as photo local advice for restaurants etc was very much appreciated and we had some lovely meals .Thanks Maggi, Phil and staff for making our stay very pleasant.

Plussat: We loved our stay at the Blue Jay Lodge. Margi and Phil did everything to male us feel comfortable and booked all our safaris for us, even in the late afternoon just before the day of the safari. Thank you for everything. It‘s a familial place where you have the chance to relax and have your private space and at the same time get the chance to have a drink and chat with Margi and Phil and the other guests.

Miinukset: the only thing which might be ‚negative‘ is that the pool couldn‘t be used at the time we stayed there but we also didn‘t need it

Plussat: This is a good option to stay if you are not looking to be inside the park. Phil and Maggie are very nice hosts, and the accommodations are above expectations. The place is near the park and it is possible to book games with a partner company, which is also very good and picks you up at the hotel. The breakfast was quite good. Would recommend!

Plussat: Lovely, spacious room, great location very close to Phabeni Gate, delicious breakfast, but the highlight is the owners - what incredible hosts! Thank you for having us!

Plussat: The hotel owner was extremely hospitable and offered a wide local knowledge of the available game drive / safari options within the immediate area. Our room was exceptionally well presented with an obvious eye for fine detail.

Plussat: It felt comfortable, it felt like home. It was extremely clean and spacious with everything we needed. It was trully relaxing, peaceful and tranquil.

Plussat: Very warm welcome and friendliness from all at the lodge. Beautifully appointed rooms. made to feel very much at home. Would thoroughly recommend.

Miinukset: No complaints at all.

Plussat: A beautiful countryside lodge, with a lot of trees. Very quiet. The rooms are very big, cleen and comfortable. The owners are very friendly and helpfull.

Plussat: hospitality from the Staff

Plussat: We stayed only two nights at the Blue Jay and wished that we had had the time to stay for longer. Philip and Margi are excellent hosts and were able to help with good information about the surrounding area and Mpumalanga. We definitely want to return to Blue Jay.

Miinukset:

Plussat: The hospitality of Margi and Phil was fantastic. The room was large and very comfortable and being only 10km away from one of the gates into Kruger Park made it an ideal base to explore the southern section of the park.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Phil and Margie, they are very kind and polite persons. Good break fast and very nice location and room.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Quiet location. Phillip the guy who did everything.

Miinukset: Arrived to no WiFi, TV or water pressure to have a shower. TV not fixed for our entire stay of 3 nights. Water pressure issue happened twice, first time we were told there was a burst pipe, so understood. The second time there was no excuse. Owner offered me 300 rand cash back (about £15 of a £210 bill. I refused and told him to at least double it, he did. The owner left Phillip to do everything, we received no apology for the problems.

Plussat: Good breakfast; Easy to get around the area from the guest house

Plussat: What a brilliant B&B food was very good and the staff were first class - thank you

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike

Plussat: We loved the quiet neighborhood. The room was very clean and comfortable - good shower!

Miinukset: Unfortunately we had issues as payment was deducted wrong.Mistakes can happen - we were told the money would be returned the following day. It took them a week to let us know that the money was actually returned to our card. During this time we worried this could be a hoax as we had to move on and just trust them to do it....this caused us to be very anxious and did not help to build trust in the management. It is a little sad that the doors to the lounge room are closed early when few guests are staying - you must then sit outside or in your room. Wifi was first not working - only after we insisted was this fixed after a day.

Miinukset: Breakfast

Plussat: Very friendly. Nice rooms, very clean. Nice environment with a lot of green and a swimming pool. The owners of the guesthouse are very nice. Super breakfast. Quite area, you only hear the birds.

Plussat: Philp the manager was very nice and helpful, great breakfast

Miinukset: Regional power outs, but of course this isn't the property's fault

Plussat: Super service

Plussat: Everything, it’s a beautiful place, the host is very welcoming and the place is very clean

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very nice guesthouse. The personal was very friendly and gave us a lot of helpful information concerning tours. The room was very nice and the breakfast was delicious. Nice place to stay and very good location for Blyde River Canyon and Krüger National Park.

Plussat: Tina and Neil are lovely, friendly hosts; the guesthouse was beautifully decorated and comfortable; a bonus to have airconditioning in the room as it was really hot in Hazyview; definitely will be visiting again :-)

Plussat: The relaxed and pleasant atmosphere presented to us by Neil and Tina for the whom duration of our stay.

Miinukset: none come to mind.

Plussat: We enjoyed the open welcome and the engaging conversation with the people who run the place. We where very pleased with the design of the rooms.

Miinukset: We would suggest to lower the roof of the breakfast room. It makes the place even more cozy ( friendlier)

Plussat: Comfortable, modern room. Excellent welcome and breakfast.

Plussat: perfetct place, wonderful host, delicious breakfast

Miinukset:

Plussat: the place is nice and quite and the area around is ideal for holiday

Miinukset: the dogs

Plussat: The couple in charge were friendly and amenable to any request. They were helpful in regard to places for dinner at night. No luxury, this - but very comfortable and pleasant. Breakfast adequate.

Miinukset:

Plussat: The gardens are stunning and very well maintained. The updated rooms have everything you need and look beautiful. The staff are very welcoming and friendly

Miinukset: The was nothing we didn’t like.

Plussat: The family-orientation

Miinukset: The rooms did not live up to the price of R2.8k per person per night!

Plussat: Beautiful surroundings.

Miinukset: Shower/ bathroom very small and shower leaked. Room generally very small.

Plussat: The variety was great and we enjoyed it.

Miinukset: there is nothing to complain about

Plussat: Excellent. More than expected or required. Good variety.

Plussat: Yes

Miinukset: Everything was perfect

Plussat: The friendliness, view, peacefulness. This would be the 2nd time we stay over at Cuckoo Ridge, and will many times to come. The host Lize always goes out of her way to make our stay memorable!!

Plussat: Everything

Plussat: Beautiful location, very spacious accommodation, and amazing hospitality. There was so much attention to detail - French press and daily sweets in the room as well as plenty of professional advice and guidance given for activities in and around the area. We were really made to feel welcome. And the breakfast was fantastic. Highly recommend.

Plussat: The peace and Tranquility of the place really what got me excited

Miinukset: I was looking forward to swimming but the pool was dirty I feel even when the sun is nt out you can still swim but the pool

Plussat: I loved everything about the Cuckoo Ridge Retreat. The rooms were spacious, tastefully furnished and spotless clean. My bed was so comfy, I slept like on a cloud. The breakfast was delicious and the owners were very warm and welcoming. I really enjoyed my stay there.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The place was very clean

Plussat: The place is clean, great view and close to all the action (malls and adventures). Great place if you are also looking for some peace and quiet time. The chalets are beautiful, have lots of room, everything is in perfect working conditions and they look even better than the pictures.

Plussat: The room was clean. Breakfast was tasty. Lize is a nice person and a good host. The place is so peaceful and lovely, it takes your mind off the busy lifestyle you have in town. Overally I would recommend the place to anyone. I'm definitely going back.

Miinukset: The geyser was not working but it wasn't much of an issue because it was hot. Mornings are a bit cooler, we could have used a warm shower at least. The wifi was not working in the room only in the kitchen area. Tv was not working either but it wasn't an issue for us as we had other things to do.

Plussat: The breakfast venue is perfect but the menu is too limited and if you staying more than 2 days, the choice becomes non existent! I would like to see more various choices

Miinukset: Consider having an all inclusive package or breakfast and dinner packages! It saves a lot from administrations. After lunch consider light snacks just before dinner

Plussat: The tents, peace and quietness. Food is good and staff is brilliant. Grounds are kept to perfection. Spa is very good and have fantastic trained staff, products natural

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Different; and very calming

Miinukset: Food offering very basic. Dinner not too great. Just plain. Breakfast - hard toast; no fruit or salad bar; no juice bar; nothing.... Few ala-carte options; nothing more. Customer service - very basic. Dont expect even a sweet of packet of nuts in your luxury tent!

Plussat: It’s out of this world

Plussat: Everything about this place exceeds expectations. The location is stunning. It’s a relaxing and refreshing place to escape to and worth the price to pay along the majestic Sabie River. Very tranquil and peaceful and a delight of a farm. The Check-in starts at the gate and 2km drive away is a parking lot to the hotel where you will have someone waiting with friendly smiles to take your bags to your room whilst you head to reception for Admin and paper work. After Admin you get escorted to your room by security who also briefs you on safety routine. Also, your bags are also waiting in these beautiful Luxury tents surrounded by trees and streams and sounds from nature. The dinning area is exquisite. The food is delicious. I went to do a run in the morning and I followed their MTB trail in the farm and it was so lovely. I also did their full body massage and it was glorious. I missed out on their breakfast which was a bummer , but next time I’ll plan my morning better as I see on the hotel brochure they raved about not missing their amazing breakfast. All in all, everyone who works is so friendly. I even received a call on my way there checking if I was okay and if I needed any assistance as they were aware I was coming alone from Johannesburg. The hospitality at Summerfields is shining example to the industry of what outstanding service is. Thank you to the staff who were exceptional, from the security, to the room service ladies, to the reservation office and staff at the spa and restaurant-you are amazing. Thank you.

Plussat: We stayed in the honeymoon suite. It was amazing and clean. Some bugs in the room but manageable. Food was excellent and service was first class. The hotel organized our private safari at Kruger, they picked us up from the hotel and provided breakfast packs to go. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Exceptional room, bed and breakfast. Lovely garden and attention to even the smallest detail. Top class with very helpful owner regarding area and Kruger

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The attention to detail obvious to any visitor sets this property apart. There is lots to commend and almost nothing negative to say. Great location, great facilities, great breakfast, very clean, lots of little extra touches. Friendly and efficient staff.

Miinukset: American style crispy bacon

Plussat: Margrit was very friendly and helped us from the moment we arrived till we left. The lodge oversees a farm with a great view. Guest rooms are clean and well equipped with everything you might need. They open directly to the garden where there are tables and chairs for relaxation. There is also a common area where breakfast is served in the morning and afternoon cake, it has a fireplace which they lit after dark that gives a homey and lovely atmosphere to the place. Margrit arranged for us a safari tour with an awesome guide (Trevor). She gave us good recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing around the area. We loved our stay at Abangane Guesthouse and would highly recommend it.

Miinukset: The road that connects the lodge to the main gate is one-way and not easy to drive using a small car.

Plussat: The hospitality we received

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Spectacular views and breakfast was delicious!

Plussat: Fabulous location, really special. Margaret the owner was very knowledgeable and helpful. The pool is lovely and the breakfast very very good. The rooms are delightful. The bar is a great addition too.

Miinukset: In the showers, red means cold and blue means hot. Took a while to realize this.

Plussat: Exceptional breakfast and wonderful interaction with the owner who went out of her way to make our stay so pleasant - she gave us information and tips about the area what routes to take in Kruger. The mist hospitable hostess

Miinukset: Larger bath towels

Plussat: every thing, the host were wonderfull and friendly staf,an a huge breakfast every morning

Miinukset: it was to short

Plussat: Beautiful setting, very comfortable lodging, excellent breakfast, very hospitable staff, and quite peaceful.

Miinukset: The entrance road was not the easiest to navigate with a small/low to the ground car.

Plussat: The attention to detail, the quality of the rooms, furnishings and fittings, Klaus's cooking, the location, the friendly ambience

Miinukset: No

Plussat: We enjoyed our stay at Abangane very much. friendly staff, nice and very clean rooms, great view.

Miinukset:

Miinukset: No

Miinukset: We were allocated a family room instead of a Luxury Suite and was told by reception it is not their problem. Staff requested to be paid tips in cash as they don't receive tips. There was a wedding on Saturday, which carried on until the early hours of Sunday. The restaurant had a set menu for the weekend due to the Wedding which was not good. There seems to be weddings every weekend.

Plussat: Umbhaba Lodge is a great place to get away from it all. The staff is very friendly, the food is very good and the location is perfect. Normally, I hate hotel rooms, but the African Tribal Suite is an exception. The suite is very large and comfortable.

Plussat: Owner of this property was very helpful and accommodating.

Plussat: Great value in a tourist area. We had independently booked a game drive and the company picked us up from the property. The guesthouse has beautiful gardens and pool area, we saw a bushbaby in the trees at night. Our apartment was spacious with a well equipped kitchen. We used the braai both nights as the fuel was on hand to purchase and we didn’t have to drag it back from the supermarket. A beautiful breakfast was provided, more than adequate and with table service. Management was relaxed, friendly and took their time to value our stay. Thoroughly recommend.

Plussat: Place is amazing, really beautiful and the staff is nice and helpful. If im ever in south africa again im booking here

Plussat: The yard is full of nature and is well maintained. The staff is helpful and friendly. The room was clean and special with cute elephants on the bed made of towels (going an extra mile). The owner gave us tips on what we can do around the area and gave us a map to make life easy, he also gave us tips on how to stay out of trouble with the traffic officers. Their breakfast was amazing and very filling.

Miinukset: The couch was placed off from everything, we had to adjust it so we can be able to sit on it and be able to watch TV. Our tea ingredients were not replaced from the night before on our last night we had one tea bag of rooibos which we both drink so one had to have it. I could've gone for coffee but the milk was not replaced.

Plussat: A good location to get to Kruger's gate

Miinukset: Look and feel of basic accomodation

Plussat: The rooms were clean and roomy. The place is very quiet. An artist's dream

Miinukset: I have travelled to different cities and countries in Africa and Europe and I can say that this was the best place I have ever stayed at. It is exceptional. The rooms are huge and the services is very personal with excellent attention to detail. But not only that. Tatenda Lodge is located in a quiet surbub next to the Kruger national park. Once you turn from the road, you find a different tranquil environment with wooded trees that provide tropical forest, quiet and soporific ambiance. It's the best place to detox, relax and find intimacy with nature.

Plussat: Stayed 1 night lovely room, excellent breakfast (including freshly made muffins), Hostess very welcoming, but a little pricy for a guest house.

Plussat: absolutely loved Tatenda, Food was excellent and hosts brilliant there is nothing I can say against it , My family and I had a most enjoyable stay and would recommend it .

Miinukset: Jacuzzi does not work Air-con leaks water into room

Plussat: Would definitely recommend, the owner went out of hear way to cater for our special requests

Plussat: Breakfast, room and spa was exceptional!! Would definitely recommend this place to family and friends! And come back again!

Plussat: Thulamela was a great decision for my partner's birthday getaway. The cabins just provide the perfect space for love, romance and intensifying the passion and intimacy your relationship shares. The private spa Jacuzzi, in the setting surrounded by nature, goes unmatched. Make sure to never miss breakfast, the variations are flavorful, filling and a pleasant escape from the conventional bacon and eggs breakfast. We are definitely planning our return trip.

Miinukset: I was satisfied with everything, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to complain about.
