Great location, about a 20 minute drive from Kruger Crocodile Bridge gate. Array of different animals come near the house. House is clean, well equipped and very relaxing!

Nothing major, just the tap water in the kitchen was not really flowing the water but it was nothing compared to the beautiful setup

The property was perfect, it was absolutely clean and spotless. The setup was exquisite and we loved every bit of it. We definitely considering coming back again.

The shower didn’t seem to have a mixer and therefore the water was either boiling hot or extremely cold.

We recently spent a few days at Palahala in the heart of Mpumalanga and it was nothing short of spectacular! Setting: 5/5 The lodge's secluded setting amidst breathtaking bushveld scenery was pure magic. Waking up to majestic sunrises, surrounded by vibrant wildlife and soothing bird songs, was the ultimate escape from city life. Accommodation: 5/5 The accommodation exceeded our expectations! Spacious, elegantly decorated, and perfectly equipped, it felt like home. The private deck overlooking the bush was perfect for sunset viewing. Service: 5/5 The friendly and warm welcome from Galina who explained everything to us and made us feel at home straight away. Recommendations: 1. Book a morning safari game drive experience for an unforgettable adventure. 2. Don't miss the sunrise/sunsets with the bush bucks, impalas, kudus and warthogs coming to say hi. 3. Do enjoy the braai area and pool. Will I return? Absolutely! And I will be very soon! Would I recommend? Without hesitation!

We loved everything -its a modern, beautiful house, clean well appointed with everything you need. Located centrally in Marloth Park yet very private - not overlooking anyone else's house. Gorgeous pool and deck. Swimming towels supplied as well. Small Spar supermarket nearby as well as a liquor store which is so convenient. The nearest entrance to Kruger is Crocodile Bridge which is only a 15-20min drive. But plenty of animals roaming around so you dont even need to go into the Kruger. We will definately be returning here!

The property was clean and had an amazing view. I loved the seat by the window in the bedroom. It was very ideal and cozy for watching animals at night.

Everything was so nice, a classy and safe stay with the wildlife. Superfriendly host. Such a nice place to relax and come to your senses. Bring a bag of apples to feed the zebra’s :)

We loved everything but there was no Meet and Greet at the house. We arrived at 1pm and had said we would be there at 2pm so we did arrive earlier than anticipated. We therefore never saw anyone connected with the house and we just left at 10.00am on our last day and put the key back in the secret place. When we arrived at the house, a monkey knocked a fascia board off the house by the front door. I did take photos and sent them to Rihanna to inform her.

There was no breakfast - the property was self-catering.

Some minor issues that are not worth mentioning…

This is a very nice accommodation with a modern feel and touch… The thing we liked the most, were the beautiful animals roaming around and even coming towards your terrace… zebra’s, antilopes, impalas, kudus, warthogs and beautiful birds were regular seen guests… The terrace itself is nicely decorated and has comfy (lounge)chairs to sit in and a very nice swimming pool… it has a nice braai facility as well. The house is very well designed… Bedding and bathroom were nice too. When it’s a colder day…you can see the wildlife very clear from the inside as well, because of the nicely shaped windows. So all in all… if you’re into a nice bush experience, but you don’t want to compromise on western luxury… this is a house for you. The house itself is secluded without a view on your neighbors and centrally in the park. The distance to Crocodile Bridge Gate at KNP is a mere 20 minutes… And my final remark: the owner and caretaker of the house are more than willing to answer all your questions and to make sure that you’re have a pleasant stay…not only at the house, but throughout your journey as well…
