Stayed at Kaia Tani for a nights. Wonderful experience. Super clean and very helpful owners and management. We stayed in Room 4, which is bigger than the others. Breakfast was great. Special thanks to Danika for going the extra mile to accommodate us. Highly recommended.

Very clean, very comfortable, very welcoming. The rooms are well equipped and convenient. Best of all, just a stone’s throw from the Phalaborwa gate to the Kruger National Park! We will stay here again - and this in spite of the collapsing local Municipality (are there any municipalities in SA that aren’t collapsing?)

Zero Covid protocols

Reviewed By Chris T

Neither the owner,receptionist or breakfast staff wore a mask at any stage. Owner attempted to take temperature with a broken thermometer and said 'tests were done,Haha'. Then being shown to our room by the receptionist coughing her lungs out and not covering her mouth or wearing a mask was very disconcerting. South African covid rules clearly state 'masks must be worn in any indoor public spaces'

Rooms: The rooms are spacious and can sleep up to 5 people (1 double bed, 2 single beds). Each unit contains a separate kitchen that is fully equipped and small, private outside area with braai facilities. Each unit is also equipped with air conditioning, which is very useful during the hot summer months, as well as a mosquito net over the double bed. The units are simple but spotlessly clean. Premises: Simple, but looked-after. Offers safe parking with a guard on duty at night. There is a pool on the premises which was unfortunately closed during our stay (due to maintenance). Location: Central and easy to find. Supermarkets and restaurants/take-aways are only a short distance away and a petrol station is conveniently situated right across the road. Entry gate to the Kruger Park is only a 5-minute drive away. Staff: Polite, helpful and friendly.
