I accompanied my husband that was on a businesstrip, and it was refreshing to experience a nice clean updated place to stay. We did not expect the wonderful view on the banks of the crocodile river, and the welcome visits of the elephants, crocodiles, bucks and hippo's as near as on the other side of the fence. Thanks for friendly happy staff that defnitely walked the extra mile. We enjoyed good quality food excellently prepared.

What a gem! River House Lodge is a unique establishment. The decor is very interesting, with many items that can lead to interesting discussions and memories. The room was sufficient for our needs, and was comfortable with a view over the Crocodile River. Meals are plated, and consist of 3 courses for dinner, and a hot breakfast. The management are very attentive, always checking up to make sure their guests are happy. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Lovely scenery with dam just outside rooms. Good restaurant with good food. But cleanliness fell very short. A room that is not clean is very distracting but enjoyed the stay overall. Highlight - Spa treatment.

Magical!

Reviewed By Jen_L0u

Khandizwe offers breath taking views of crocodile river and the the stunning landscape of the Kruger. We had hippos, crocodiles and elephants frequent the river right in front of the house. The house is of a high quality, all bedrooms are comfy and the house offers great outdoor living with braai area and a fantastic pool to cool off in. Peter is an attentive and caring host. We found having access to the river a great add on to our game drive in the park as it offered the chance to see various animals at the river which you wouldn’t see from park. We actually saw a herd of about 50 elephants which was a truly magical experience. We will be back!

The hotel is modern, very clean and has all the essentials. The views are excellent with birds and animals in abundance that visit from the Kruger Park. We had elephants within 5 metres of the dining deck.Staff were friendly and accommodating. The menu is fairly basic but food well prepared.
