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.

Everything about this stay was incredible, the location was incredible with a deck that looks out to the crocodile river where we saw hippos, crocodiles, elephants and even a buffalo. The deck was well equiped with binoculars, lots of seating options and even a pool table where we loved an evening game. The meals were increbible, amazing home cooked food everynight with dessert, we agreed it was the best food of our whole trip and a great opportunity to try some authenitic south african meals at a really reasonable cost. The staff were so attentive and friendly and organised us our daily game drives. These pictures do not do this place justice!! The room was well equipped and super clean.

The location is calming and surreal. The staff is amazing. The food is beautiful and tasty. The Chalets are lovely with a large bath and shower and a 270 degree view from the big bed. Restaurant area is wonderful with a bar, pool and lovely seating. We spotted buck, giraffes, butterflies, monkeys and more within the property.

The location and views are absolutely spectacular. We loved being able to watch game from our pool and deck. A bird watchers paradise, with perfectly selected shrubs and trees to bring unusual birds close to the house. The house itself was stylish, very comfortable and well equipped. The rates were a bit higher than the accommodation we usually rent, but this memorable spot was well worth every cent.

We had an excellent, enjoyable stay at the House of Bongekile. Its location in a safe neighborhood in the little town of Malelane was perfect. The floor plan lends itself to a large group, or just a couple, offering four nicely furnished en suite bedrooms with one being an expansive, luxurious suite with a Jacuzzi-style tub and large shower. Our bed was very comfortable and gave us a great sleep. The kitchen is well-equipped with modern appliances and plenty of dishes, glasses and cooking utensils. The open-plan living room & dining area are comfortably furnished and there's a small courtyard with a braai, a pool, and chairs for lounging. The added touch of an exterior security perimeter ensures safety and privacy. The staff was great and it was truly a pleasure to meet the owner, Penny, and trade stories about adventures in the Kruger National Park which is just a short drive away. Highly recommended!

The rooms were very clean, spacious, and the grounds were lovely. The view from our 2 room chalet was gorgeous overlooking the river where we spotted a few crocodiles and hippos in the morning. There were two pools which looked great but we didn't have time for a dip. There was also an outdoor gym which was a nice touch.

Everything was fantastic. We enjoyed the room, the view, the seating areas, hospitality, service, and food. I’ve stayed at a lot of places around the world and I have to say this is one of my top places, and also the most affordable hotel of all my favorites. Watching the animals across the river in Kruger, the 3 course meal for dinner, great atmosphere and attentive service made it a real experience. The price was also really reasonable for what you get. My only regret is not staying longer. Thank you Johan for helping us!

The location is amazing! It is right next to the crocodile river over-looking the banks of the Kruger National park. It is a 20-min drive from the Malelane gate of the Kruger National park. The apartment is beautifully designed, well-furnished, well-maintained and clean. The sofa-bed is also good quality and ideal for kids any age.

Big room with a bath and shower. Fridge and TV in room and seating outside for own room. Lovely garden, which was quiet and relaxing. Swimming pool available, although I didn't use it. If concerned about safety, the accommodation is in a gated community. Easy access to Kruger NP via Malelane Gate and the town for food and drinks if wanted.
