It was a comfortable stay.

The stay was good, the staff was amazing, and the family chalet size was great. The bar area and views are lovely, and the proximity to the Kruger Park was perfect. The only negative is the noise from the road that was at times very loud and became worse on the weekends.

Quick in, quick out.

Bathroom was a problem and the room was not quite what we had in mind. We thought we would get a room with a single bed but it was a sleeper couch. The bathroom was not up to standard at all.

We enjoyed our stay.

Our chalet at River Hill Lodge was clean and spacious. We enjoyed the view by the bar overlooking the river. It is a short distance to the Kruger. Chalet 6 is close to the road where the vehicles and trucks pass, which can be very noisy. The food prepared by the chef was okay, rated 6 out of 10. The lodge manager was very helpful and assisted us with our vehicle that had a problem on the morning of departure. Great for an overnight or 2-night stay.

River Hill Lodge is just what is needed when you need a break away.

The lodge is beautifully laid out, so tranquil with beautiful birdlife. The general manager, Gavin, is amazing to have as he will assist with making your stay a memorable one. Ross is excellent at what he does and ensured that we catch those Tigers. Our stay was a much-needed one and would love to go back over and over again.

Dankie Mark. Was baie lekker.

Mark het uit sy pad gegaan om ons verblyf so lekker as moontlik te maak. Plek is netjies en skoon. Net baie warm die tyd van jaar. Aircon het ons lewe gered. Lekker uitsig oor die rivier vanaf die dek. Lekker plekkie om te oornag. Huisies tussen die bosse, wat dit lekker privaat maak. Verbygaande treine kan steurend wees, maar met aircon aan, help dit baie.

Thanks Mark. Was very nice.

Mark went out of his way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Place is neat and clean. Just very hot this time of year. Aircon saved our life. Nice view of the river from the deck. Nice place to spend the night. Cottages in the woods, which makes it nice and private. Passing trains can be distracting, but with aircon on, it helps a lot.

Reg langs die besige treinspoor na Mosambiek. Baie raserig en beslis nie waarde vir geld nie.

Eienaar het ons dadelik vertel dat hy alles doen omdat hy bankrot gespeel het en verkoop het a.g.v. Covid. Chalets is heel oulik, maar beslis nie die geld werd nie. Plek was redelik skoon en eienaar was heel vriendelik en gewillig. Die swembad het 'n mooi uitsig op die gholfbaan maar die oord en veral ons chalet is reg teen die besige treinspoor na Mosambiek wat minstens uurliks daar verbykom 24 uur per dag met 'n geweldige geraas waarvan daar geen melding gemaak word wanneer jy bespreek nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Right next to the busy train track to Mozambique. Very noisy and definitely not value for money.

Owner immediately told us that he is doing everything because he was bankrupt and sold due to Covid. Chalets are very cute, but definitely not worth the money. Place was quite clean and owner was very friendly and willing. The pool has a nice view of the golf course but the resort and especially our chalet is right against the busy train track to Mozambique which passes by at least hourly 24 hours a day with a tremendous noise which is not mentioned when you book.

Hi Emil
I'm sorry that you had a problem with your stay. Very clearly on the website we do warn guests about the train. I was told not to do it but, I always believe it best to be open and not hide anything. Again my apologies.

Ek wens kon daar bly! Daar was die mooiste natuurskoon met die vriendelikste diens. Ek sal beslis weer daar gaan kuier.

Sekerlik een van die beste plekke om te oornag voor jy oor die grens moet gaan, veral as jy van ver af reis. Bespreek maar vir meer as een nag, mens wil daar kuier.
