    It’s a no frills stay, so no fancy coffee. This didn’t bother me, but if it does, then drive to the town in 1 min. Great place to stay.

    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.

    It didn't have a hairdryer in the room. Unfortunately it was too chilly to take advantage of the pool.

    Located very near to Malelane Gate entrance to Kruger Park and close to a shopping centre with a huge supermarket where you can grab something to eat. We ate dinner once at the hotel (we were the only guests!) and the steak was wonderful. Beds were extremely comfortable and the sunset from the bedroom was stunning.

    Loved everything about our stay. The town of Malelane didn't offer much for restaurants and shopping.

    The view was amazing. From the first minute we arrived, we could spot hippos, elephant, warthogs, or waterbuck on the river bank. The customer service was very friendly and helpful. The room is basic and matched the pictures - no surprises. It was cleaned daily with towels and water resupplied. Wifi was good and even worked on the terrace.

    We had a really great stay, so it's hard to say there was anything we didn't like, except I have a terrible bug phobia and the restaurant in the evening attracts a lot of flying critters. Had to keep my insect repellant handy.

    The view from the Inn is exceptional. Particularly great for bird watchers and people who are visiting Kruger and want to see a few animals from the restaurant and pool deck. The staff were also extremely warm and welcoming and made us feel at home immediately.

    The shower in the bathroom needs a good scrubbing to get rid of the mold.

    It would have been nice to have two armchairs instead of one comfortable and the other stringy and uncomfortable.

    Breakfast was very good and it was lovely to look out for the deck onto the river with the animals.

    Due to the load shedding, there was not always a dessert available in the restaurant. But that is only a minor point and didn't withheld us for havin a great dinner, looking out to the hippo's and rhino's.

    As the name says: an inn with a (perfect) view on the Crocodile River. We've seen rhino's, water buck, hippo's, and other wild animals on both sides and in the river. What a splendid place to start an/or end your day. The rooms are spacious, and modern, with all facilities you need. The Riverview Inn is located only 10 minutes drive from Malelane Gate to visit Kruger Park. We certainly go back and spend some more time.

    Understandably, airconditioning does not work during loadshedding.

    The property is located right next to the Crocodile river. There are always some wildlife present to observe and enjoy. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The food is good for the price and the room has a exceptional view of the Kruger National Park. The nearest gate to the Kruger National Park is only 15mins away from the property.
