River House Lodge
27 Visarend Street, 1320 Malelane, South Africa – Excellent location – show map
Fabulous setting overlooking the Crocodile river providing viewing of game as they come down to the water. We saw a large group of hippo grazing on the bank before entering the water. Super friendly staff and management who cater to your every need. Klein Johan and Adri went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Samuel in the kitchen is a treasure. The home-stead is packed with memorabalia with historical significance. We would definitely stay again.
Bordering Kruger National Park, this award-winning country-style lodge is located in the small town of Malelane and is a great base from which to discover the Bushveld. Wake up to the sounds of native birds. At River House Lodge you can watch hippos and crocodiles in their natural habitat while relaxing in the pool or sunbathing on the large thatched deck. Alternatively, you can marvel at views of the river and national park from the comfort of your private balcony. Spend the day enjoying drives through Kruger National Park or visiting Swaziland. The attentive staff is happy to arrange various fun and adventurous activities for you. For special occasions, the original pump house has been converted into a stunning wedding or party location. River House Lodge is a gay-friendly property. It has an outdoor swimming pool and provides free on-site private parking.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.
