Willie South Africa

The food was amazing, all meals, all the time. The place is nice and quiet. The swimming pool area is beautiful and the music always on point throughout the day. The waitrons are super friendly, the admin / reception staff were also very nice to us. The place is less than 2 kilos away from the Kruger Gate, now that's a bonus.
