Очень классная локация, с шикарным видом на реку, были замечены: бегемоты, буйвол, антилопы. Номер просторный, чистый, уборка каждый день. Неплохой завтрак. Прекрасный бассейн с панорамным видом на реку. В 10 минутах езды въезд в парк Крюгера. Единственное, в ванной нет вытяжки, белье и полотенца долго сохнут.

My wife and I had a rest together. The lodge is very conveniently located right on the Crocodile River, 15 minutes by car to the entrance to the Kruger Park (Malellane), 20 minutes on foot to the town center. Animals come very close, without leaving the hotel we saw elephants, hippos, crocodiles and antelopes. The lodge itself is not bad, but it needs repair, everything is very "tired" but everything works, breakfast is quite good, then the restaurant is open from 11 am to 8 pm. There is a small pool, which is very helpful in the heat. The staff is friendly, the girl at the reception helped us a lot. In general, everything is good!

El hotel está fenomenal, el desayuno y la cena muy bien Lo mejor sin duda es donde está situado. Desde el jardín se el río Sabie donde van animales a beber, la experiencia es maravillosa. Si madrugas oirás a diversos pájaros , disfrutas de la piscinas y puedes ver a los elefantes e hipotamos disfrutando de su baño. Para repetir una y otra vez

Rio Vista is a piece of Heaven on earth, from the food to the friendly staff and breathtaking views. Lounging in the pool, I saw rhinos, crocodiles, elephants, hippos, and cheetahs in the river below. Anita is an exceptional host, so helpful and friendly. The food is excellent with a wide variety on the menu. I had the best prawn dish ever! The lodge itself is safe and secure and located within walking distance to shops. My towels and bed linen were changed and the room cleaned daily. The bed was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. There was also a complimentary laundry service available. I met a group of people who have been returning guests for 18 years. That said it all for me! I've travelled extensively, but my week in Rio Vista has been by far my best experience to date. Thank you, Anita and your wonderful staff, for the holiday of a lifetime in the most idyllic of settings. I cannot recommend Rio Vista highly enough. 10/10 all round!

Worse room in the hotel ! More like staff accommodation with a bath ! Stuck at the far end of the hotel with some horrible communal balcony with old trusty tables with tools and things scattered around, aircon doesn’t work ! Windows haven’t been cleaned in months, overlooks what looks like the staff laundry!! vastly overpriced !!! Shame because standard rooms are lovely
