Third stay at Kaia Tani

Pros: This was my third stay at Kaia Tani, and the first under the new ownership. I was delighted to find that it still had the same comfort and charm that I experienced in my previous visits over 20 years ago. Located close to the Phalaborwa entrance to the Kruger NP, my wife and I really enjoyed both the morning walk though the park and the 10 hr safari the following day. The locals informed us that they have never had Malaria and never take Malaria medication, They did point out that the mosquito numbers increase after heavy rain, and that small pools of water should be avoided. On the final day, Barabara, the owner, took us on a very interesting tour of the surrounding suburbs of the town, and included a stop at a local primary school where we were able to greet some of the students.

Cons: The 5:30 AM start for each of the tours of Kruger NP meant that we needed to get to bed early. However, dinner was only available at 7 PM, so we decided to have dinner around 5 PM each night at Sefapane Lodge, just 600 m away.. A minor inconvenience was that the airport at Phalaborwa was closed a few years ago, so we had to fly in and out of Eastgate Airport, 1 hr drive away.

Pros: Very nice and charming place to stay, beautiful designed rooms and property with lot's of green, very close to Phalaborwa Gate.

Cons: All OK, nothing to complain

Pros: Staff were available immediately and were very friendly and helpful

Cons: Water issues, but it was not the facility's fault as the town had water issues and their water storage ran out.

The place was comfortable. the place was clean, not forgetting the staff and the owner were friendly

Pros: The breakfast was excellent, the staff and owner were welcoming and friendly

Perfect

Pros: In this Guest house you arrive as client and go away as friends

Pros: Wonderful lodge, very nice rooms in african style. Nice garden . Good dinner and breakfast

Was an absolute little treasure and my husband and i will forever remember it fondly.

Pros: The team running the lodge were exceptional! Felt like being at your second home. So welcoming, friendly and nothing was too much to ask. The breakfast was also amazing.

Cons: It would have been nice to have a tea/coffee station in the room for the very early morning wake-up if you are leaving early to go into Kruger and not have to go out to the breakfast patio to make.
