    Location was a bit too busy with all the trucks crossing the border. Lovely facilities especially the proximity to the Kruger Gate and the river with all the crocodiles

The riverfront gardens are beautiful - ideal for nature-lovers. Even if you are not an expert on birds, you cannot fail to enjoy the Fish Eagles, Kingfisher, Herons and multitude of Sunbirds, Robins, Cuckoos and Turacos that visit us.
Our main focus is on the comfort of our guests. We want each person to feel special (as they are!), and not to feel that they are just another number.
The Kruger national Park and the Crocodile Bridge Gate entrance are a huge draw-card - the wildlife in this area is truly amazing and plentiful! Self-drive or guided trips are possible. The town has a variety of shops to choose from.
