Relaxing, convenient and bonus wildlife visits! The Cottage had everything we needed for the weekend. It is easily accessible and the viewpoint over the Crocodile River is wonderful. The "Bos TV" with its night sounds made for wonderful relaxation. Definitely worth a stop!

Ontspanend, gerieflik en wilde diere bonus besoeke! Die Cottage het alles ingehad wat ons nodig gehad het vir die naweek. Dit is maklik bekombaar en die uitkykpunt oor die Krokodilrivier is heerlik. Die "Bos TV" met sy naggeluide het vir heerlike ontspanning gesorg. Beslis 'n stop werd!

Comfortable, peaceful. The accommodation was fantastic and the host was very helpful and friendly. The accommodation is also 10 minutes from the Kruger Malelane gate. I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to go to the Kruger National Park.

Gemaklik, rustig. Die verblyf was fantasties en die gasheer was vreeslik behulpsaam en vriendelik. Die verblyf is ook 10 min van die Kruger Malelane hek. Ek sal dit vir seker aanraai vir enigiemand wat na die Kruger Wildtuin wil gaan.

Nicely situated next to the Crocodile River with a peaceful atmosphere. The stay for the 3 days was very nice and peaceful. Friendly host made us feel at home immediately. Sitting at the lookout point and looking over the river was lovely and very peaceful. Very beautiful gardens. Thank you very much.

Lekker langs die Krokodilrivier met rustige atmosfeer. Die verblyf vir die 3 dae was baie lekker en rustig. Vriendelike gasheer het ons dadelik tuis laat voel. Om by die uitkykpunt te sit en oor die rivier te kyk, was heerlik en baie rustig. Baie mooi tuine. Baie dankie.

Beautiful location. We were very impressed with the service. The location is ideal and the unit is very well appointed. We will definitely stay here again.

Pragtige ligging. Ons was baie beïndruk met die diens. Die ligging is ideaal en die eenheid is baie goed ingerig. Ons gaan vir seker weer hier oorbly.

Great location and friendly host. Great place to enjoy game watching at sunset! Fantastic stay - the location is incredible and we saw elephants, hippos, and buffalo at the river within the first hour that we were there. The accommodation was spacious and clean, and the host was super friendly and helpful. He gave us advice for our Kruger trip, but he is also very knowledgeable about the animals and their habits and was willing to share!

We saw elephants, a buffalo and a hippo from the lookout point. The cottage was up to standard, but the gardens and viewpoint were neglected.

Ons het olifante, 'n buffel en 'n seekoei vanaf die uitkykpunt gesien. Die huisie was op standaard, maar die tuine en uitkykpunt was verwaarloos.

Great value for money, and view of the KNP across the river. We enjoyed our stay at River Cottage Lodge, our accommodation was clean and comfortable. We watched the sunset from the deck overlooking the river; the resident hippos kept us entertained!

Very nice and especially overlooking the wildlife park. Very nice stay. I would just say that the website needs to be updated as there is no longer a restaurant.

Baie lekker en veral uitkyk op die wildtuin. Baie lekker gebly. Sal net sê die website moet opgedateer word aangesien daar nie meer 'n restaurant is nie.

Comfortable with a great view of the Crocodile River from the main entertainment. Clean, comfortable room which is very spacious, nice when you need to do repacking before moving on to the next destination. The viewing deck is brilliant. We got the aways and saw a tree having dinner and watching the animals come down to the river.
