It's a beautiful property close to Kruger. The rooms are great with lots of hot drink options. The management appears to only hire nice people and the guests enjoyed engaging with them. The food is equal to top Jhb restaurants - very imaginative, tasty options.

Best stay in Hazyview
The stay was pleasant from the time we entered the main gate right through to being received warmly at reception, we were offered cold lemonade to cool us down. The lady(mother to the twins, sorry i forgot her name)that attended to us was very kind and patient with us. We were ushered to our cottage and given all necessary information. Lovely place, squeaky clean, extremely comfortable and feels homely.

Dear Robert, thanks for your post, yes we are a mere 15 minutes drive from Phabeni gate, which makes the access to the Kruger so easy. We hope you will pop in again on your next trip to Kruger. All the best for the New Year.

The place is so nice and quite. Before booking online call them directly and find out about the special they could be running. Their breakfast was to die for. I didn't see anything wrong with the hotel.

A little gem
Yes, the 1 km rutted dirt driveway can be intimidating. The hotel is beautiful, secluded with lovely staff and a great chef. The cushions on the chairs and daybed could be a bit more padded but overall, a 10. 💖

Excellent Place to Relax, Revive & Remember
Had my last 2 nights, of a 2 week holiday, at Rissingtons, and could not have asked for a better way to end my trip. The staff were extremely friendly and so accommodating. My room was perfect, had a beautiful view out over the garden and was very spacious. Due to some renovations to the restaurant, breakfast and dinner were served in my room, which was great. The food was...out of this world delicious. With regards to Covid, every precaution was taken to make me feel safe, with an in room santiser station - and virtual check-in and ordering. Honestly cannot stress enough what a great stay I had here. Thank you to the team for making me feel so welcome and for letting me end my break on such a high!!

A l’arrivée le personnel nous parlait très vite en anglais et nous avions de la difficulté à comprendre. Ils s’en foutaient carrément et semblaient bien découragés. Le soir, lorsque nous avions quittés pour dîner ils sont venus à notre chambre porter du chocolat mais ils ont déplacés des objets. Fermes des stores et touches à des serviettes déjà utilisés. Belle piscine Bon petit déjeuner Quand même une chambre propre Isolé loin du centre ville Fenêtre ouverte alors moustique

A Fabulous Gateway to Kruger
The main hotel building is an old great house for a farm. The architecture is extremely interesting and the views from the restaurant on the terrace are superb. The staff worked with each other like family - and treated the guests just the same. The owner of the hotel is an expert on South African history and an incredibly interesting fountain of knowledge about Winston Churchill and all of his contemporaries. The Inn is only about 15 minutes from the the entry to Kruger closest to Pretoriuskop and is a great place to stay on the way in or out of the park (or both).

What a find. Great privately owned 20 bed hotel/inn. Food was excellent and we loved the 2 'mini' main course options. Great idea. Staff wonderful and everyone tried to make our stay wonderful. We booked one night and then decided to stay another. Then amazingly they washed our car!!

cozy inn convenient to Kruger Park
We stayed one night at the Rissington Inn in one of their villas. It has a lovely and large ground with pool. We also enjoyed dinner at their restaurant. The inn actually is about 1km off of R40 down an unpaved road, so it is very quiet.
