Great spot to stay for easy early access to Kruger. Neat, clean, great view and pool. Friendly staff.

Pros: On the Crocodile River with magnificent views. Neat, clean, comfortable and friendly accommodating staff. Our aircon didn’t work on the one side of the family suite and we were given the room next door to use as well. Amazing service from the staff even after hours.
