Warm your soul
Pros:

Klein Kariba is such a beautiful place for water lovers. The warm pools are clean and inviting. The indoor pool has a special ambiance in the evening. The water slide is great fun and the putt-putt very challenging. Accommodation is basic, but adequate as you spend most of the day out in the beautiful surroundings.

Pros:

Hi there the stay was great, the amenities were great, pity the accommodation was so basic.
The rooms need to be upgraded. Units with
Aircon’s need to be made available. The restaurant, Danny in particular was fabulous . Well done 👍

A Horrible Weekend Stay
Pros:

We found left overs from the previous guests in the microwave.
The sewer of the unit next to our braai area was blocked and leaking. It made the whole outside area smell horrible. We couldn't use the braai outside.
When we gave this feedback to the receptionist returning the keys, the lady just said ok, they're aware of that, didn't even apologise.

Fantastic Long weekend away with the family!!!
Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay in Klein Kariba, my kids are still little and they were still able to do so much. My only suggestion is for a few extras in terms of self catering, just basic things in the kitchen make the stay a lot more pleasant :-) Kitchen towels for example.

The place is amazing, beautiful and we loved the ambiance. We did not like the fact that almost everything is written in Afrikaans.

Pros:

The location is great for families with some good facilities and activities. However, the food and services in the onsite restaurant could be better. The prices of items in the onsite store were also very high. Taking advantage of a captive audience so, make sure you have everything you need for your self catering stay before you arrive or, shop in the town of Bela Bela.

Warm Water Paradise
Pros:

For anyone who enjoys warm pools, waterslides and sunshine - this is the place. The accommodation was adequate and very clean. The areas around the swimming pools where being sanitised throughout the day. Klein-Kariba offers both cold and hot pools so it is suitable for swimming throughout the year. The heated indoor pool is equipped with water spouts for those who are brave enough to stand under them to get a water massage. The resort also boasts a number of hikes of different intensities as well as well-kept grassy areas for picnics or braais. A winner!

Another exceptional break away.
Pros:

Like always Klein Kariba delivered. Reception were excellant, First time that we stayed in the logcabin in the ravine. The cabins are getting on in years and you could see it especially in the kitchen and bathroom. Iverall though it us still well worth it. The quietness and peacefulness is wonderfull. Please note there is definitely not a spa bath or hot tub at the cabin as advertised in the describtion. The resort though do have heated pools.
We will definitely go again.
