The location is great. Close to a collection of shops and banks to get cash. Close to Kruger, and to the local golf such S leopard creek, where I played. The bed was comfy. The bathrooms were well equipped. The veranda looking into croc river was lovely and peaceful. Great value.

    Easy access and quick access.

    Easy access and quick access. We went off season but had pre-booked with SANParks, so a word of warning, don't pre-book unless it's high season to guarantee access. It doesn't specify this when booking, so we thought we were paying the conservation fees. You're free to roam around in your own vehicle and don't need an off-roader. There is an abundance of wildlife so you don't even need to stay for 3 days. We went for 2 hours on our own and saw elephants, rhinos, 'pumbas' and impalas. The toilets are few and far between so either go when you find them or you'll have to do it at the side of the road...without straying into the Bush. We then went for a full day with a guide who knows the area better and took us to the watering holes we probably would've never found on our own, where giraffes, wildebeest, hippos and elephants were all hanging out. A note about Malaria: we read that malaria was found around Kruger and had conflicting advice about taking anti-malaria tablets. In the end, we just covered our legs and arms (even though it was hot) and sprayed mosquito repellent with 50% deet. In short, Kruger is a must, but don't expect to see leopards or cheetahs, as they are, quite literally, impossible to 'spot'.

    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.

    An amazing place in a great location for visiting Kruger. The room was huge with both a bath and shower, a private outdoor terrace overlooking the Crocodile River and Kruger National Park and a swimming pool. Breakfast was delicious and we ate with a view over the river. The honesty bar and extra tea and coffee making facilities were a lovely touch, along with robes in the room and a spacious fridge. The owners were extremely welcoming and helpful. We only stayed one night but we will definitely be back.

    This is an awesome location from which to explore Kruger national Park. It is just 10 minutes drive from Malelane Gate, which is less crowded than some. The amazing thing is you practically don't need to leave the hotel because the park is right across the river. From the deck of the hotel we saw a rhino grazing right on the shore, elephants, 3 sets of mother with baby hippos, (who've made this spot their little nursery), monkeys, impala, waterbuck, and numerous types of birds.

    .The self catering unit had everything I needed. The unit was spotless and cleaned daily. I liked the view of the dam and the mountains from my unit. Reception was friendly and helpful always (engaged with Letta). The checking in and checking out was seemless. Thank you Letta for organising Almond milk for me; highly appreciated as adhering to a vegan diet can be tricky in foreign town. Thank you Jimmy for the game drive at Kruger National Park; the experience was priceless.

    The hotel is quite delightful, with the proprietors ensuring we felt thoroughly at home, consistently enquiring after our well-being. Both dinner and breakfast were splendid. The rooms are charming, affording us a splendid view of Kruger Park, alongside the river teeming with various animals. This stands as one of the finest services I have ever experienced. The staff were exceedingly courteous and always greeted us with a smile.

    The location is calming and surreal. The staff is amazing. The food is beautiful and tasty. The Chalets are lovely with a large bath and shower and a 270 degree view from the big bed. Restaurant area is wonderful with a bar, pool and lovely seating. We spotted buck, giraffes, butterflies, monkeys and more within the property. Kruger National Park Malelane gate is about 10 mins away excluding the time to drive the dirt road.

    The cottage deco was out of this world, the colours were calming, ideal for a rest away from the noise & busy streets of Johannesburg. Beautiful gardens with a water feature, could hear the sound of water even at night. The lady working there welcomed us so did the host. We had wifi & it was close to a shopping centre where we could quickly get essentials. Added bonus: It was about 10min drive to the Malelane Kruger Gate!

    Overnighted at Mhlati Cottages before entering Kruger National Park during December. Very impressed with the service, stay and the location of the Mhlati cottages only a stone throw away from the Malelane gate. Ideally located and equipped for anyone that would like to travel into Kruger as a day visitor or as a overnight stop before entering. The breakfast offered was also excellent.

    Amazing property! We were staying here while on a visit to Kruger. The location was just perfect. so close to Melalane gate . The restaurant packed us a lovely breakfast for our early start for the day. The rooms were bare minimum but were exactly what we needed - comfortable & clean. We also had dinner at the restaurant - tasty food & great service.

    Place of passage in a quiet position not too far from Kruger's Malelane gate. The property offers everything you need. The room is clean and with enough space. Breakfast not included, however not too expensive and very good. Parking space inside the structure.
