River House Lodge, hotel in Malelane

Bordering Kruger National Park, this award-winning country-style lodge is situated in the small town of Malelane and is a great base from which to discover the Bushveld.

It is an amazing place. We didn't really know what to expect but were positively surprised by River House Lodge. Watching the animals (buffalos, hippos) from the observation deck was wonderful. Johan and his team took great care of us and we enjoyed the tasty food and the relaxed atmosphere. Thank you all!

    Malelane is very beautiful and easy to get around.

    Malelane is very beautiful and easy to get around. I loved the wild life the most, it was pleasant view to watch the birds and animals roaming around freely. The staff at the gate were very friendly and helpful. Wish I had more time to give a constructive review but went to the park for just half a day and managed to see some of the big 5 which was the purpose of my visit.

    There is supermarkets for pre Kruger shopping on the road out of Malalene. Major roadworks taking place out of Malalene. Beware of trucks and drive carefully. Not recommended to drive in the dark while roadworks in place.

    Pastana still remains for me the most affordable best and well managed accommodation in Malelane. The Restuarant always meet my expectation of the wide spread of eats available. Malelane is very easy to navigate. It has all the amenities to accommodate a travelers needs The town is very clean . I would avoid accommodation I have not visited before. A picture tell a thousand tales. But some can be very deceiving and uncomfortable.

    Malelane town is totally unappealing.

    Malelane town is totally unappealing. The only reason for staying in the suburb we stayed in was a) it is outside the town and b) is close to the Kruger Park entrance. We stayed in Mhlathikop suburb, which is nice and can be recommended.

    Trying to find a contact person with regards to the booking is impossible. Sometimes in real life, things happen totally out of your control like COVID that was a world wide epidemic and how do a person handle a situation like this? I just had no contact number from Booking.com to assist us and lost the money. This will make me think twice next time I want accommodation Judy 082 335 6423

    It was a self catering set-up. One of the best vacation in terms of accommodation, the rooms, Wi-Fi and the interior décor was perfect very relaxing. we are surely going to visit again. Our aim was to visit the Kruger National park and the Malelane gate was a few minutes away. a variety of food outlets and supermarket were at our disposal. We were able to use the braai facility and the pool. .

    I loved the look and feel of the place, it's quite secluded area, it was peaceful. The owners were very excellent hosts too. Since it's a self catering, I liked that the shopping center is not that far off. But like us, we love Woolies food, so I advice you buy some very necessary supplies before heading to Malelane. Overall, we had an amazing Baecation there.

    This accommodation was perfect for our visit to Kruger Park. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The Lodge is only about a 15 minute drive to the Malelane gate and located on the Crocodile River. The restaurant has the most spectacular views of the river with sunsets that did not disappoint. The food was excellent and exceeded our expectation.

    Amazing place on the bank of Crocodile river. Very close to Malelane gate. You however do not need to enter Kruger, you can just relax on the patio and watch the animals in Kruger Park just across the river. Jabu is a great hostess.
