Pros:

Das Personal vor Ort war super lieb, hilfsbereit und immer da, wenn man fragen hatte! Personal 10 von 10!!

Die Lage mega gut, gegenüber ist der Krüger Nationalpark und man kann auch vom Riverview Inn schon ein paar Tiere sehen mit viel Glück :) ansonsten sind es zum Gate Malelane nur 10 Minuten und somit unschlagbar 💪

Ich würde es weiter empfehlen und auch wieder kommen!

Pros:

Right next to the Crocodile river witha nice seating and dining area with great views. Rooms were comfortable and the close proximity to the Kruger Gate is a definite plus. We had dinner here, too, which was good.

Cons:

Nothing, really

Terasse mit Blick auf Nilpferde und Krokodile. Top Unterkunft.
Pros:

Die Lage mit der Terrasse direkt am Grenzfluss zum Kruger ist der Wahnsinn. Wir haben dort Nilpferde, Krokodile, Büffel und eine Giraffe gesehen. Man kann dort Frühstücken, bekommt einen Kaffee und Abendessen. Die Lage ist in einer Sackgasse und somit sehr ruhig. Das Zimmer ist geräumig, modern, sauber und mit grossem Bad. Und mit Klimaanlage und Kühlschrank. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Pool und Garten ist toll und sehr gepflegt. Parkplätze sind sicher und schattig auf dem Gelände. Die Nähe zu einem Krugertor ist auch ein gutes Kriterium für die Wahl der Unterkunft. Wir würden hier auf jeden Fall noch einmal wiederkommen.

worth to stay, enjoy the view
Pros:

I have booked the place in last minute. Its true gem next to Kruger Malelane Gate which just 10 mins away. Staff was super helpful, They have included us into dinner even we were late. Food quality, Kitchen service was amazing. They are kind, helpful, respectful and I am thankful for each of them. View from the room is amazing! You are looking directly to Crocodile River and Kruger Park. I love it! Im sure I will be visiting again!

Cons:

Rooms can be more modern but not a big deal, its giving rustic vibe which is nice too
