    Nothing to dislike. Just remember to bring your own wine/beer.

    Great location overlooking Crocodile River. The manager Bertus and his staff could not have been more welcoming and friendly. Great room and good food every night.

    My stay at the Kruger private lodge was truly exceptional. From the moment I arrived, Bertus went out of his way to make me feel welcome and completely at ease. It was the most soothing and relaxing escape I could’ve asked for—perfectly nestled in nature, yet with all the comforts thoughtfully provided. The room was absolutely beautiful—spacious, serene, and tastefully designed. Bertus was incredibly accommodating, even setting up a desk in my room so I could work comfortably during my stay. His attentiveness and warmth made all the difference. You can really feel the care and intention behind every detail. I couldn’t recommend this place more, and I’m deeply grateful to Bertus for his hospitality and kindness.

    Nothing. We didn't want to leave.

    We loved everything about this Lodge. Both Bertus and Linique were fantastic hosts. The rest of the staff were also amazing. They will provide an evening meal for you at a very reasonable cost. Trish is a fantastic cook. Bertus's Braii was also fantastic. The lodge itself is probably one of the nicest places I have stayed. We had the rooms at the top with amazing views of Crocodile River. The rooms could not be faulted. Everywhere had beautiful paintings and ornaments of safari animals. I cannot give this lodge enough praise. A gem in Marloth Park with a view.

    Nothing at all

    From the moment I arrived, I had a very warm welcome from the fabulous host Bertus. I was the only one staying at the lodge so he kindly arranged an upgrade on my room which had spectacular views of crocodile river. I watched the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and even got to see hippo, buffalo, impala, and elephants from the comfort of my own balcony everyday. This was a truly magical experience. The room itself was perfect; it was big, clean and extremely comfortable, and it was just what I needed after a long week of work in Cape Town. I was out on safari most days so the chefs kindly put together a breakfast box for me to take every morning which was very tasty. I also had a 3 course dinner here on most evenings and the food was exquisite! The chefs are so talented and so lovely. They really are an asset to the lodge. The host Bertus was incredibly helpful during my stay and made sure I had a great trip and experienced everything Marloth Park and the Kruger had to offer. The lodge really was perfect and I cannot recommend it enough. I can’t wait to come back soon!

    Road in was a gravel road some of which was a little rough but managed OK in a normal hire car. Do however follow given instructions to avoid the worst sections.

    Location, location, location just breathtaking with stunning views over the crocodile river complete with Hippos, Water Buffalo and Elephant taking a dip. Quality room in a quality home with great food and a wonderful host who really pushed the boat out. Brilliant stop over pity we couldn’t have stayed a bit longer.

    Beautiful view of crocodile river and Kruger Park. We saw elephants as soon as we arrived. The room has many thoughtful touches and is incredibly spacious with both a bathtub and a shower. Dinner was perfect and the owners are phenomenal hosts. Bonus: Animals from Marloth park come throughout the day to the front side of the house as well. Saw a few Kudos, Zebras and Wildebeest

    I have no notes for the lodge! But I would advise future guests to drive very carefully and slowly through Marloth Park as the roads really need to be grated/maintained. If you're renting a car, buy the insurance! I can't knock the property for this as its out of their control entirely and I had a truly fabulous stay.

    This is an exceptional place to stay. Bertus, the manager, is super attentive and lovely. I took the "king room, upper floor" and it was expansive, with a gorgeous bathtub, super comfortable bed, and phenomenal views of the river and Kruger National Park. I had supper and breakfast at the property, both of which were prepared to order by the lovely cook onsite. It's so nice to have a homemade meal while travelling. If some of the local fauna turn up at the back door, you may even get a chance to feed them and get some closeup pics! I spent other nights staying within Kruger National Park and found that the accommodation there pales in comparison on all fronts. This Lodge beats the park on price, comfort, staff, service, amenities, everything, all at once.
