The personnel is exceptionally good. We were made to feel at home. A special thanks to Thandeka, hardworking lady who made sure we get our Kruger Park game drive and many more. A hardworker she is.

Charme und Lage der Anlage. Bisher jedesmal an mind 1 Tag der Aufenthalte Flusspferde beim Grasen während des Abendessens. Bei mind. 3 Nächten sollte das Glück hold sein, die Flusspferde zu sehen😄 gegenüber des Flusses sieht man auch oft die Elefanten des Elefanten camps

Marleen · ZA · 2026-07-14

Perfect overnight stay in Hazyview - close to town but felt like you were out in nature.

9.0

Breakfast was perfect - catered for everyone's needs. Loved the heated outdoor seating area in the restaurant, and our evening meal was really good. Beautiful surroundings on the banks of the river - felt like were in nature - but close to Hazyview town.
