Just perfect!

We received a very warm welcome when we arrived and truly felt like we were in a home away from home. The cottages are absolutely beautiful and spotlessly clean. The layout feels like a little piece of paradise. Our only regret is not staying here longer. Highly recommend!

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.
