The welcome was exceptional, very friendly even though we were late to check in and the staff member went above and beyond by making us take away breakfasts that were dropped off to us the night before our departure as we left too early to have breakfast at barnstormers.

Bordering Kruger National Park, this award-winning country-style lodge is situated in the small town of Malelane and is a great base from which to discover the Bushveld.

Wake up to the sounds of native birds. At River House Lodge you can watch hippos and crocodiles in their natural habitat while relaxing in the pool or sunbathing on the large thatched deck. Alternatively, you can marvel at views of the river and national park from the comfort of your private balcony.

Very warm welcome, the Lodge is very extraordinary and special. We loved the deck looking over the river and watching animals coming from the Krueger Park side.

    We traveled as a large group of family. We all loved everything about River Cottage Lodge, the rooms were clean, the location was perfect and amazing view to a river where you sit by and watch the sunset. Greg was a great host, always available and a good communicator from the time we booked to the time we were checking in. I have nothing to fault the lodge, I would definitely book there again

    Would definitely recommend this place. Joy and Allan are great hosts, happy to help with anything. The check-in was smooth we got there a little earlier than expected and they accommodated us on that. The place is great and relaxing and the Malelane Kruger gate is about 5mins away. Will come back for sure!

    We felt at home while being spoilt. The food was too much and leka boerekos. The location is perfect if one wants to relax and unwind. One can see many animals from the deck and driving into the Kruger is not even a must. The staff is polite and friendly and both Johans are great hosts. Manager Johan goes out of his way to make all guests feel special...together with his team, esp. Mishak and latest arrival Tariq. Well done. We will see you again.
