Overnighted at Mhlati Cottages before entering Kruger National Park during December. Very impressed with the service, stay and the location of the Mhlati cottages only a stone throw away from the Malelane gate. Ideally located and equipped for anyone that would like to travel into Kruger as a day visitor or as a overnight stop before entering. The breakfast offered was also excellent.

phantastic place right across Kruger National Park on the banks of Crocodile river (hippos are literally on the other side of the river). easy communication with the host, thus handing of keys and orientation was easy. close to the city for shopping and the southern entrance gates (Malalane, Crocodile Bridge). The house itself is very comfy, clean, modern and well equipped. nothing to miss.

We have travelled through and stayed in Malelane three times. My view is it is the best route and gate to travel to when entering Kruger. We have stayed in Malelane on our stays for an aggregate of four nights. We found it safe albeit a bit scruffy. The upside is views of Crocodile River the closeness of the gate and the opportunity to re-fuel and get provisions. (From the UK)

Malelane town itself is ok - good food shopping available.

Malelane town itself is ok - good food shopping available. Its benefit is its proximity to Kruger National Park. Would recommend Hamiltons restaurant not far from the park gate and The Deck a bit further along Crocodile river with great views of the river.

We use Malelane as our last stop into Kruger.

We use Malelane as our last stop into Kruger. Being 7 hours away not only is it a good resting stop after a long drive but also the opportunity to stock up on Supplies. There is everything you need at the Mall. Between Spar & now Woolworths you are able to stock up well. Nice and close to entrance to Kruger.

A nice place to be. Not enough for a short stay.

A nice place to be. Not enough for a short stay. There is so much to do and see if you visit a place a few days. The Kruger Park is within reach. The eateries are relatively a few km away. Rural but very nice experience for an urban person.

The room we were initially offered was not fit for habitation. Our next room on first impression seemed better but we found it had mouldy shower recess, no hot water, broken blinds and window coverings, no phone , a non functioning power point so no hair dryer and chipped outdoor furniture.. We did not get what we paid for and when bought to management’s attention all we got were excuses. A very disappointing stay and definitely not worth the money.

We left really early to get into the Kruger park and the host gave us some breakfast to go. Very thoughtful and friendly. Also there was a honesty bar, worked out really wel. We could just get the drinks we wanted and leave the money there. Very good vibes in the hotel. Nice pool and beautiful view on the river. Perfect if you need a hotel to stay in for a night before entering the Kruger park like us. If you dont book accommodation inside the park and stay outside the park and just go in everyday this accommodation would also be amazing!

The hotel location is great. It is close to supermarkets, garage, few restaurants and just 10-15 min drive to Malelane kruger Gate. There is a great view of the crocodile river, while you are at the hotel restaurant. The room was spacious, had an aircon which came in handy. The hospitality was great, the staff was friendly, and even offered blankets while we were sitting near the restaurant
