The welcome was great and Andy went an extra mile to make us feel comfortable. She even offered an extra room for free as there had been a mistake during booking. However, they need to improve on their breakfast setup especially when the place is full by making sure that they have enough food for all the guests an also offer variety. The lady who was cooking on the first day was very rude and not accommodative. Overall though, we loved the place and wouldn't mind referring others there.

One night stay on the way to Kruger park

We arrived late in the evening and there was nobody at reception.The security guy gave us the key to our room .It was a heavy rain that night and the sound or the drops on the metal roof made a terrible noise the whole night. There was a power cut that lasted all night which was as well not not very comfortable . Breakfast was good and the staff friendly.

No door between toilets and main room

This is a great hotel with very helpful staff but please be careful which room you stay in as some of the roooms do not have a door between the bathroom/toilet and the main room.

Parada próximo de portão do Kruger Park

O local está bem perto de um dos portões do Kruger. Parada estratégica para quem quer partir a viagem. Só achei estranho o cafe da manhã porque precisei falar com 3 pessoas para pedir 2 ovos a mais. Não achei isso legal.
