Location & Setting

Framed by riverine woodland and towering jackalberry and sycamore fig trees, the hotel sits on the Sabie River beside Paul Kruger Gate—Kruger National Park’s western entrance and direct route to Skukuza Camp and Skukuza Airport. Elevated timber walkways and a broad viewing deck look across to the park, where hippo, elephant, and antelope are often seen along the watercourse at dusk. The setting combines the convenience of being moments from guided safari departures with a tranquil, nature-immersed atmosphere that feels worlds away from busier park hubs.

Rooms

Accommodation spans 145 air-conditioned rooms and suites, including Deluxe, Deluxe Family, and Luxury categories, Executive Suites, and the private-use Nkanyi Suite. Interiors blend contemporary finishes with warm, safari-inspired textures. All options feature en-suite bathrooms, complimentary Wi-Fi, television, mini-fridge, tea and coffee facilities, drinking water, hairdryer, and secure in-room safe. Private patios or balconies invite river-breeze downtime between game drives, while generous family layouts and interleading options make it an easy choice for multi-generation travel near Kruger’s main attractions.

Facilities

Leisure spaces include two outdoor pools and a children’s pool—one an infinity edge overlooking the Sabie River—plus a 24-hour fitness center. Dee’s African Spa offers holistic treatments drawn from indigenous botanicals. Kudyela Restaurant serves bountiful breakfasts on a treetop-canopy terrace, while the Lapa and Boma deliver wood-fire dinners beneath the southern skies. A safari concierge desk arranges guided drives and bush walks, and families enjoy kids’ play areas, mini-golf, tennis, and volleyball. Seamless comforts extend to a gift shop, room service, airport transfers, and reliable on-site power.
