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!

Prime location for Kruger visitors

Our stay at the cottages was simply great. Miles better from what I had thought could be possible so close to Kruger. The cottage was in pristine condition and Doctor was a very friendly host. I would highly recommend staying here for comfort with the benefit of closeby amenities and access to Kruger gates only 10 minutes drive away.
