    Still water could have been provided in the room for all the days off or stay. It was only provided on the 1st day.

    It was the perfect location to the Kruger. We saw 4 of the big five and we were only there for 1 day.

    mass tourism, too big, too standard, better suited to group tourists than individual travellers and not the money worth

    The dinner and breakfast are open buffet. The location is great, very close to the gate.

    The food menu -m and variety was brilliant. The quality of the meat was very good, not exceptional. But I am being very picky here...

    All fab - especially the architecture of the hotel. Wrapped around nature in a completely sympathetic manner.

    While we were close to the front gate at Kruger, there were some limitations in that we couldn’t access the park before certain hours and we had to be out by certain hours. We also had to pay a recurring fee and fill out paperwork when entering the park. It wasn’t always convenient but the hotel staff and food made its location forgivable.

    The food was amazing!!! The staff were wonderful!!! The rooms were very comfortable.

    I didn’t like that we had to ask our rooms to be cleaned as it was 13h00 the afternoon and our rooms was still dirty and no one was there to clean or deliver fresh towels etc.

    The breakfast is amazing. I love a buffet breakfast that has a variety to choose from. The location is absolute bliss. It is a safe environment and the staff is friendly.

    Bed wasn’t that comfy considering how good everything else is.

    Friendly staff who clearly enjoy working there, great breakfast and dinner included in the price. Pool was amazing - we saw a herd of elephants go by whilst swimming. Day spa was seriously amazing - best massage! In the middle of the massage, a hippo went past the massage room.

    For the bathroom in the chalet, it would have been great if it had a shower option the bath, as 6 of us were all queuing for shower each time. A shower option in Bath too would have been perfect.

    Incredible facilities, superb location and setting, staff were fantastic - so polite, friendly and accommodating. The chalet we stayed in was great.
