Paradise River Lodge

Comfy, beautiful rooms in a quiet location on the river

Pros: Beautiful and comfortable rooms and gardens. Good food and friendly hosts. Very tranquil and relaxing.

Cons: Nothing. It’s was great.

Pros: We absolutely loved the location. Rooms, pool, outdoor dinning area, braai, outdoor shower... all surrounded by nature and the sound of the river. Eventhough it's a bit far from Kruger Park, it's totally worth it. And the drive doesn't feel that far anyway. Max also made us feel at home, inspite of some difficulties he encountered with unexpected shortage of personnel. The game drive with him was also very nice. We learned from him especially about birds. And he even sent us fantastic photos he took during our drive. A plus we didn't expect! Overall, a great experience in Paradise!

Pros: The Chef went extra mile in meeting our special dietary needs and the braai was excellent, Maris was super welcoming and make our stay comfortable. We felt like we are part of the family

Cons: The checkout time of 10:00 is early as most of establishment Chek out is 11:00

Recommended to everone! go and experience Paradise

Pros: this is Paradise - exactly what the name said and the host's absolutely did everything to keep us happy, amazing food, welcome glass of wine. Just Paradise!!

Cons: Nothing!

A magical place, well worth visiting. Max and Maris are lovely and do all they can to make your stay memorable, while be

Pros: The location is a bit remote, but worth the 10K of gravel road since it is really amazing by the river The room are awesome, with both an inside and outside shower, and a nice terrasse to chill out. The braii (BBQ) was delicious. So was the breakfast. Both meals were taken by the river… accompanied by the sound of water.

Cons: Nothing, except the word of caution about snakes/scopions. I hate them and freaked out, even though I didn’t see any (and believe me, I watched everywhere carefully!). This being said, I am grateful to Max for being transparent about things that could ruin your stay.

Heavenly place and unforgettable stay !

Pros: We were lucky to spend 3 nights in Paradise ! The place is amazingly peaceful and the surrounding nature (the river, the reserve) is breathtaking. Maris and Max are so friendly that you will have the feeling you knew them for a long time. The half board booking is a great formula since the chef's really concerned with various and delightful breakfasts and dinners. We enjoyed a sundowner and a whole day in Kruger with Max who's the man if you want to learn about SA flora and fauna! Warmly recommanded place !

Cons: A few minutes of dirt road will be what it takes to get to Paradise !

Pros: The scenery, the nature, the hosts Brilliant little getaway spot

Pros: Great stay at the Paradise River Lodge. Perfect start: a girafe was near the Entrance Gate for our arrival! Our host was great, full of advice and knowlegde about wildness! Go there!

The perfect getaway.

Pros: What I loved the most was the outside shower, Wow the property offers a perfect opportunity for one to experience the wild life and just be at peace with no other sound but the sound of the beautiful Mother Nature.

Cons: The only thing that I can raise is that the rooms do get bit cold so if only they could offer more blankets or a heating system.

Great location on the river, wonderful room, all with charming and knowledgable hosts with great activities

Pros: The oasis of green on the banks of the river was awesome. The room, with outdoor shower, and view of the river, was beautifully styled, clean and welcoming. Max and Maris were gracious hosts, organizing a wonderful sundowner drive with breathtaking views and great wildlife spotting. Max clearly knows his stuff. The activity was rounded of with an authentic braai as the water rushed by.

Cons: Nothing to note.
