We received a very warm welcome when we arrived and truly felt like we were in a home away from home. The cottages are absolutely beautiful and spotlessly clean. The layout feels like a little piece of paradise. Our only regret is not staying here longer. Highly recommend!

Vor Anreise Kontakt per WhatsApp mit Besitzer bzgl Ankunftszeit, schlüssel usw. Unterkunft liegt 2min vom Kruger/malalane Gate entfernt, in sehr sicherem compound (Security an zugangstor), wunderschöne cottages, sehr sauber, gemütlich, toll eingerichtet. Perfekte Lage um den Park zu besuchen, ggü auch ein schöner Golfplatz und 2min entfernt kann man sehr gut essen (Name des Restaurants/Hotels vergessen aber war ein guter Tip vom Hausbesitzer, also einfach ihn danach fragen). Gutes Frühstück, in 4 Std ist man vom hektischen JNB-airport in dieser "anderen Welt" angek9mmen. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Mycket mysigt och fint hotell!

Mycket fint och mysigt hotell med supertrevliga ägare! Hotellet är byggt och inrett med kärlek och stil in i minsta detalj! Dock var sängen lite hård och ac:n placerad så det blåser på de sovande i sängen. Tyvärr är det en kort bit till restaurang för middag under vår vistelse, restaurangen hette Hamilton. Välj en annan om ni kan! Men detta kompenseras med en över lag fantastiskt fin hotellvistelse!

Notre séjour a été fantastique. L’accueil des hôtes, la propreté, la tranquilité, le décor et la sécurité étaient au rendez-vous. Le déjeuner était excellent. Avoir eu plus de temps, nous serions restés plus de 2 nuits. Nous avons fait un safari avec CD Tours et avons réussi à voir le Big Five en un peu plus de 2 heures. :) Il n’y a pas beaucoup de restaurants dans le coin mais le Hamilton fait de bonnes pizzas ainsi que le canard que nous avons essayé.

Our stay at the Mhlati Guest Cottages was way too short. This property is a beautiful and peaceful place to spend a few days exploring the southern part of Kruger NP. Our hosts Eric and Jan were very attentive and engaging. As for the property's style and decor, as I mentioned to Eric, he has designed and created a real "Disney" quality experience for his guests.

Beautiful place close to Kruger Malelane Entrance

Lovely, beautifully decorated thatched cottages in lush garden with private parking. The hosts were friendly and helpful with the area history, including family going back hundreds of years, recommendations for local restaurants and in tweaking our route within Kruger to maximize animal sightings. Breakfast was very good.
