Kruger Park Lodge

This was a lovely place to stay, the only downside was that we were only there for one night before going into the national park.

Kruger Park Lodge in general is a very nice property. The property is very well kept, clean and well looked after. The facilities are great with the hippo hide where you can watch hippos safely as well as an extremely nice golf course on the property with impala walking on the course. The pool area is very nice and the restaurant (G’s) is good. There is also a lapa area where they do a traditional braai (think bbq on steroids) and a river area you can walk to. All the staff we met were extremely friendly and helpful. It is a spacious 6 sleeper. The unit itself is great with a few little issues such as the shower door does not close and the double bed in the main upstairs bedroom has a mattress that is not very good. Other than that it is a very nice unit. The air conditioner wasn’t working and when we called them the next day they came out and fixed it almost within the hour. The unit is cleaned every day which is very nice. The lodge is 15 minutes from Phabeni gate into the Kruger Park. Also, even though when you are in the lodge you feel like you are out of the city in the bush, it is 5 minutes away from many good shops and restaurants.

A very well run resort, the Golf course looks pristine.
We had a lovely, very well maintained unit, looking across the golf course. One omission is that there is no Weber nor place to braai under cover if it rains.
With loadshedding an every night occurrence the simple emergency lighting system was hard pressed to cope so be sure to take along your own torch, candles and emergency lights.
The fridge in the unit is very small, we simply could not fit our food and even one or two drinks into it for even a couple of days.
The resort amenities are in superb shape and the restaurant (G's at KNP) is superb. During the week we had a number of excellent sundowners, meals, Coffees and teas at the restaurant, The manager, Darryl and his staff were very friendly, attentive and efficient, the atmosphere, lighting, music and of course the food, were all top drawer, if only more restaurants around Kruger could be like this one, they certainly are the golden standard .
The Restaurant has an efficient, quiet generator so meals are easily enjoyed there during loadshedding.
This resort deserves its Gold Crown status.

We visited Kruger Park Lodge over the weekend. Amazing place! Well kept , neat, golf course, hippo pool, walking trails! Everything we wanted. It is the best maintained holiday resort we have been to in a very long time. No wonder it won the 2019 RCI GoldCrown award! It has a tranquility all of its own. It was private and quiet , although many guests visited the Lodge over the weekend. It is fantastic that the entrance gate to KNP, Phabeni , is so near and makes the KNP so accessible for a day visit! We hope to visit Kruger Park Lodge again , soon!

레스토랑 음식은 좋았으나 너무나 느린 응대에 실망함

We hired 2 chalets' no's 528 & 529. 528 was in good shape but 589 was not. The master bedroom carpets were dirty and the chalet needed painting.

We paid for half board but found the food generally very poor. Breakfast was OK with eggs cooked while you waited, the sausages and bacon were good but there was little fresh fruit. The evening meal starters were poor, those which should have been hot were cold and the roast was generally overcooked.

The facilities this resort offers are excellent with Tennis, Table tennis, a small Pool table, a nice swimming pool and of course, Golf. The hippo pool and hide are well worth a visit with good views of a large number of hippos. We also saw kingfishers, a darter and egrets.

Amazing stay! Perfect facilities , well maintained

Fantastic Space House, nice hippos in the lake, Swimmingpool could be cleaner, Overall Great Place to stay

Superbe environnement.
Les lodges appartiennent à des propriétaires, et sont très variables.
Évitez le Lodge 532 que nous avions: éclairage blafard le soir, pas de chauffage...contrairement à d'autres lodges de nos amis.

Les chmabres sont en fait des chalets de proprietaires autour d un golf ... entourage tres beau avec des impalas en liberté et des singes mais tous les chalets ne se valent pas .Possibilité de tomber sur des chalets grand luxe avec cheminée et joli mobilier et electromenager mais aussi de tomber sur un chalet de heidi sans chauffage datatnt des annees 1960 .
pas de wifi gratuit .. A noter des hippo dans la mare et d agreables equipements comme tennis , billard , mini golf , trempolins .
Restaurant qui pourrait etre bien mais jamais de feu dans la cheminee malgré 5 degres dehors , table avec nappe en plastique et des serveuses desagreables et tete en l air qui oublient les commandes en se curant les dents avec une allumette ... Les plats sont toutefois bons mais temps de preparation long et long ...

Great hotel for families. Lots of activities for kids especially during school holidays when there is an entertainment co-ordinator arranging lots of varied games and activities for the kids. The accommodation was very clean and spacious with everything you need including washing machine and a bbq on the deck. Close to the town/shopping Centre and Kruger NP but would highly recommend having your own vehicle to get around.

The location is ok but not more. It is close to Kruger Park and in a golf club resort. Staff is very friendly and helpful. However, the rooms are outdated and worn out and need upgrading to keep up expected standards.
WiFi is quite expensive charged by MB.
I would not recommend this place anymore as there are better places around.

The resort is great - you can do a ton of game and bird viewing on premesis. The only thing I would highly recommend is using the Numbi gate to Kruger rather than the Phabeni Gate. Phabeni is closer but MUCH ruder and much busier. Numbi is an extra 5 minute drive but well worth diversion.

Huge rooms, very clean and well kept. The food at the restaurant was very good, and the staff very friendly. Most of all, it was very convenient for the Phabeni Gate of the Kruger National Park - only about 15 minutes drive away.

Good location for the Kruger Park. Friendly service. Restaurant food was OK. Wi-Fi was not free and speed was slow. Facilities were good - golf, putt-putt, pool, etc.

Wonderful Place,Well Mentained, cottage, envoirnment Etc.

Very nice clean rooms very good service

5 nights in a 3 bed chalet. House and surrounds were very good although they could not provide a baby cot until the next day despite our request when booking.
food from the buffet was average at best, the service was without one smile (the only place we experienced this on the whole trip) and the music in the restaurant (plus the menu) gives the feel of a place stuck in the 80s.

Charmant de voir des gazelles de la terrasse au petit matin ou d'aller observer des hippos dans la rivière qui traverse le lodge. Sympa le grand chalet à toit de chaume.
On se sent hors du monde, pas de wifi dans le chalet. Ca peut réserver des surprises.

Je me suis fait voler ma CB au mall du coin. Retour en deux minutes à l'hotel pour passer un coup de fil et l'annuler...
Pas possible d'appeler à l'international ni du chalet ni de la réception!
Manager incapable de répondre à la situation.
La directrice générale m'a ouvert son bureau, m'a fait accompagner à la police. Très bien mais j'ai mis une heure avant de joindre ma banque.

We arrive at Kruger Park Lodge late at night and for one night only - a stopover before safari. It is a great location and great set up with cottages that are clearly timeshare, weekly rentals and the odd stopover guest. The site is very secure and with a golf course, swimming pool, great kids play area and wild animals on view from the edges of the resort - it is an idyllic setting.

The main let down for us, were the staff, who weren't exactly welcoming and also did the minimum to make you feel comfortable. Simple things like showing you to the lodge and explaining the facilities, timings for meals, what's included and what's not etc etc Instead we were drawn a map, and in the dark, told to find the cottage.

It strikes me that if you're a one night visitor they don't know how to accommodate you, as they are predominantly set up for timeshare (minimal) support
