Pros:

Uma delícia chegar no final do dia no quarto e encontrar ele todo limpinho, arrumado e cheiroso.

O banheiro e o quarto são enormes!

O ar condicionado funcionava bem.

Iluminação ótima e todas as janelas com telas finas para evitar entrada de insetos (não encontramos nenhum no quarto).

Funcionários super prestativos.

Cons:

O café da manhã não é incluso e não é bom, preferimos comer fora.

Você recebe um menu com opções, mas elas demoram muito para serem servidas, não é um buffet. O café já chegava morno e tivemos que pedir para esquentarem duas vezes.

Éramos os únicos hóspedes no hotel e já demorou muito. Não tem uma área de buffet, então imagine se tiver um monte de gente!

Mooie plek waar veel te doen is in de omgeving en waar uren lang op het terras zitten met uitzicht op de rivier ook geen
Pros:

De fantastische ligging met uitzicht op de rivier waar we allerlei wild langs zagen komen. Nijlpaarden, krokodillen, olifanten, apen, etc.

Pros:

Struttura molto accogliente. La posizione fantastica, a 10 minuti dall'ingresso del Kruger. Al nostro arrivo, davanti alla terrazza del ristorante, c'erano elefanti ed ippopotami nel fiume che pascolavano liberamente. Cena perfetta e cibo molto buono. Lo staff e il proprietario davvero gentili ed efficienti. Tutto eccezionale.
