Lovely prorperty - beautifully maintained. The owner Eric was a fabulous host with many great stories. Eric went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. Very enjoyable stay - would stay again. Fabulous location, especially if you intend visiting Kruger Park - safe and friendly.

Beautiful cottage, small with very few guests. Nice furniture, all amenities (shower, fridge, wifi, pool, air cond etc), all clean and in great condition. The host, Eric, is a very nice guy, serves a great breakfast, and was generally very helpful.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. It's always encouraging to get nice feedback. A blessed festive season and 2020 to you.
I definitely rate this Cottage as 5 stars. The location is great and so close to Kruger National Park. The owners Eric and Janet are very friendly and helpful. All the rooms are very clean with all the necessary materials you ever need. Breakfast is good with plenty of choices and the environment is very quiet and beautiful. I will recommend it to everyone and I will surely stay there again if I go back next time. Great place to stay and enjoy every moment While I was there.

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.

Thank you Eric for your wonderful review and rating. We would love to have you back with us again soon. I'm so happy to hear that the experience was so good. It is encouraging to us immensely, thank you.
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.

Hi Joan, thank you so much for your review. It was lovely having you stay with us but it was such a short time. Come and see us again soon.

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!

Thank you so much for your review Mikael, we hope you will stay with us again soon. Wishing you a very prosperous 2019.
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.

Thank you so much Chantal. Really appreciate your review. Love to have you back staying with us.
Mhlati Guest Cottages sind eine traumhafte Unterkunft. Es wird viel an Komfort geboten, die Gastgeber sind sehr zuvorkommend. Besonders der überdachte Frühstücksbereich und der Pool hat uns sehr gefallen. Wir kommen definitiv wieder!

Thank you so much for your review Damien, we were blessed to meet you and your lovely wife. Hope to see you again soon.
Accueilli avec chaleur par Erik et Jeanny dans leur cotage tres calme et intime, nous avons passé un séjour de 7 nuits formidable. Après des journées torrides dans les parks a proximité (l'entrée sud du park kruger est a moins de 5 minutes), une petite baignade dans la piscine était bien rafraichissante.
Bref que du bonheur
Werkelijk perfect, een warme ontvangst waarbij we als vrienden werden onthaald, terwijl we er voor het eerst kwamen, zo ontzettend gastvrij en daarbij ook heel professioneel. De warme genegenheid en verhalen bij het ontbijt maakten de ervaring extra bijzonder. Als we naar Afrika teruggaan wordt dit zeker een stop; en dan langer.
Hopelijk tot ziens :)
