We loved it here! We had a warm welcome. The self catering cabin was basic and clean. The viewing deck over the Crocodile River was fantastic. It was only 15 minutes from good grocery stores and Malelane Gate into Kruger.

Overnighted at Mhlati Cottages before entering Kruger National Park during December. Very impressed with the service, stay and the location of the Mhlati cottages only a stone throw away from the Malelane gate. Ideally located and equipped for anyone that would like to travel into Kruger as a day visitor or as a overnight stop before entering. The breakfast offered was also excellent.

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.

phantastic place right across Kruger National Park on the banks of Crocodile river (hippos are literally on the other side of the river). easy communication with the host, thus handing of keys and orientation was easy. close to the city for shopping and the southern entrance gates (Malalane, Crocodile Bridge). The house itself is very comfy, clean, modern and well equipped. nothing to miss.

Amazing location, people was nice. Amazing views from the terrace, sunset was the best. They put a small water bottle for each person every day. They put a chocolate for the kids. I asked a specifique breakfast for the game drive and was not easy but finally they made it and was great.

We had an entire apartment for our family, with access to the garden, and our own table outside. It was lovely having so much space for the kids. The breakfast the next morning was freshly prepared, according to each person's request. The kids loved the huge selection of cereals and muffins.

Very clean, peaceful, and safe. The room we were allocated was big enough for our family. The area is extremely hot, and the good thing is that the room has a functional aircon.
