Wish we could have stayed longer

Our stay at the Mhlati Guest Cottages was way too short. This property is a beautiful and peaceful place to spend a few days exploring the southern part of Kruger NP. Our hosts Eric and Jan were very attentive and engaging. As for the property's style and decor, as I mentioned to Eric, he has designed and created a real "Disney" quality experience for his guests.

Beautiful place close to Kruger Malelane Entrance

Lovely, beautifully decorated thatched cottages in lush garden with private parking. The hosts were friendly and helpful with the area history, including family going back hundreds of years, recommendations for local restaurants and in tweaking our route within Kruger to maximize animal sightings. Breakfast was very good.

Mycket mysigt och fint hotell!

Mycket fint och mysigt hotell med supertrevliga ägare! Hotellet är byggt och inrett med kärlek och stil in i minsta detalj! Dock var sängen lite hård och ac:n placerad så det blåser på de sovande i sängen. Tyvärr är det en kort bit till restaurang för middag under vår vistelse, restaurangen hette Hamilton. Välj en annan om ni kan! Men detta kompenseras med en över lag fantastiskt fin hotellvistelse!
