Kruger View Chalets

Kruger View Chalets

📍 Opdraend St, Malelane
★★★★ 8.5 (53 reviews)

"The standard rooms, chalets and cabins are not worth the money they charge for them. Most are far away from where one's vehicle must park. The perimeter walls to the property look "dodge" and unsafe. We were not prepared to stay in the chalets, rooms or cabins and had to resort to taking one of the bigger river view chalets for our peace of mind and safety, this was at an additional cost of close to R500 for the night. In general, the place is dated and is in serious need of maintenance. IN general, the prices are over the top and are exploiting the traveller by charging a hefty price because it has a view of the Kruger Park. "

Mhlati Guest Cottages

Mhlati Guest Cottages

★★★★ 9.5 (35 reviews)

"Mhlati Guest Cottages were gorgeous! My room was huge with a large bathroom and small attached kitchen. It had coffee (instant and filter), tea and real milk! The breakfast was made to order and delicious. The cottages are located less than 2 km from the gate to Kruger. Just a perfect night before starting a safari!"

"We had a great experience at riovista,,,, the view, the beds and food everything was perfect I'm looking forward to visit again. The breakfast was nice and perfect we really enjoyed our stay the swimming pool was clean "

River House Lodge

River House Lodge

📍 27 Visarend St, Malelane
★★★★ 8.7 (45 reviews)

"Stayed at the newly renovated lodge and couldn't praise it more. The rooms are bigger than before and the layout has changed with the rooms having everything you need (inclding small touches like fresh milk and cafetiere). However, the star attraction is the lodge balcony which reaches out to the river, where you can sit and eat breakfast or dinner - or just relax with the free to use binoculars. On arrival there were elephant and hippos just roaming below. There is an abundance of wildlife for you to view roaming by. The meals were first class and Johan with his team make sure you are taken care of. The final bonus is the short drive to Malalane gate for quick access to Kruger for self drive or Eswatini is a simple drive away."

Hamiltons Lodge & Restaurant

Hamiltons Lodge & Restaurant

📍 R570 Malelane Gate Road, Malelane
★★★★ 8.3 (10 reviews)

"Good location of the Lodge in relation to the Malelane gate of the Kruger Park. Nice rooms. Delicious food in the associated restaurant and friendly service. Work points - Breakfast is very limited and mediocre. Coffee was lukewarm; no bread available. You have to pay extra for an omelette,… - insulation in rooms is downright bad. You hear everything the neighbors do. - generator next to the room causes a lot of noise."

Barnstormers Rest

Barnstormers Rest

📍 500 Geelhaak St, Mhlatikop, Malelane
★★★★ 9.4 (22 reviews)

"Beautiful guesthouse in a safe environment. Staff were helpful and very serviceminded. The garden is fantastic and well kept. Did really enjoy the stay here. Helpful with packed breakfast for an early morning in the game reserve."

Kruger View Chalets ★★★★
"I was not prepared to walk into such a well prepared, clean and organized room, especially for the price. It's clear that Kruger View Chalets understands the concept of hospitality and take pride in it. Well done. "

Pestana Kruger Lodge ★★★★
"We spent two nights at the lodge. We had a room with a balcony overlooking the Crocodile River. We were able to watch hippopotami from our balcony in the river and foraging on the bankside. The room was large and the bed comfortable. It is in need of some refreshing and I saw a sign that stated that this was planned for 2026. The food was nothing special but plentiful, we were unable to eat all the food to us. The staff were helpful but the hotel could use some maintenance, for example, the pool needed some cleaning. Overall though, it was a good but not luxurious experience."

River House Lodge ★★★★
"The people in the river house are incredibly friendly and helpful. The views on the river and the animals inside the water or on the other side of the river (e.g. hippos, water buffalos) from the lodge are breath taking. "

"Lovely setting, lovely food and great service. The Lodge is very comfortable and provides you with everything you need. We will return very soon. The salad on the menu was exceptional and the breakfast kept us going till supper again. Pitty we could not use the swimming pool as it was middle of winter."
