The location is what sells it for us, right on the banks of the Sabie River and 20 minutes drive from Paul Kruger Gate and entry into the wonderful Kruger Park. We would happily stay here again."

"This is a nice property near Phabeni gate of Kruger National Park, which is just a 6 minute drive. Akani is a great host and if you need anything he will bend over backwards to help! You can park right next to your chalet, which is very helpful. - I personally hate lodges where you have to park a distance away! - There is a pub nearby that gets noisy at times, but if you run a fan it drowns out the noise. The property is very close to the main road and is very safe! "
