    Why 10 why not 9 may be because we were by the river, or because éléphants are passing by, or because there is a nice little pool...and its very confortable..like being at home...

    Possibly the outside step on the patio could have a more secure rail especially for children

    The accommodation was 5 star and the Host was super .The location was perfect on the river.

    Very nice flat in perfect location. We loved it there. The impressions we got before by looking at the fotos here at booking.com were matched by reality when we were there. And on top the host Cornelia was absolutely nice, thoughtful and helpful.

    The government loadsheding did not dampen our holiday, as the host has a backup plan - the generator. It really made a huge positive difference.

    The view is of the crocodile river facing the Kruger National Park is stunning and the accommodation is relaxing. Above all, the host Cornelia is the best - makes you feel at home.

    This was one of the most amazing places we have ever stayed at. The location was perfect and Cornelia our host was among the best we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. It is a place we could return to time and time again if we lived in South Africa.

    Its a wonderful house in an exceptional location - just across the river you see the Kruger park! And more over- just from your terrace you may see many birds and other animals living their lives around the place. The host is very friendly and always there to help. And, ah, very friendly and curious dogs around. When were arrived at the place the load shedding happened, but it was not a problem - the place has its own power generator (although working very load). We got a very good recommendation for the restaurant not far away from the house. The place has everything what you will need for a short stay - fully equipped kitchen, hairdryer, a parking place, wifi and a huge terrace with a stunning views.

    I LOVED everything..

    I LOVED everything about Hennies Rest. I was utterly spellbound on entering the property. On arrival Cornelia said, quick come with me. Just outside the outdoor area was a huge bull elephant. I cried. He was so close and a regular visitor at Hennies. My favourite thing was sitting in the beautiful garden, watching all the wild animals visit Crocodile river. Many elephants came to drink and pass by and lots of antelope, hippos, giraffe to name but a few. I was so so sad to leave and could have happily lived there forever ☺️ The accommodation was perfect. Clean, nicely furnished and had everything you could possibly need. This is by far the best place I have ever stayed.. Thank you Cornelia for your wonderful hosting. Both myself and sister miss you and your gorgeous dogs and kitten..
