I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! Nestled in the mountains, it offered a serene and secluded vibe while still being close to the airport and Kruger National Park. The rooms were luxurious and very private with a fantastic pool. The service was friendly and accommodating, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. On the downside, I found the dining options somewhat limited and the location could use a bit more direct sunlight for lounging. Overall, it’s still a great value for a peaceful getaway.
