In the beginning we just wanted to book an accommodation for one night visiting the Kruger the next day. In the end we would have loved to stay longer at the sundbird lodge. The lodge is so beautiful with an amazing view on the garden! Dave welcomed us lovely giving us so many tips what to do. We hadn’t planned the trip then but instead of insisting on staying longer at his lodge he told us be can check inside or at an other gate. At this point you realize is not about the money dave and Samantha running this lodge. Besides she wonderful feeling you get there it takes 5 mins to the Kruger gate and 5 mins to all the other restaurants but they will tell you about this :)
My daughter and I had a lovely two night stay at Sunbird Lodge. It was an ideal resting point after a long car journey from Johannesburg. Dave and Sam were very friendly hosts, our room was ideal and the grounds looked lovely - though sadly we had little time to enjoy them. Gholovans pub is two minutes drive away and excellent value. Would happily return again.
A very nice, friendly stay in Phalaborwa. Ideally situated for visits to the Kruger Park. Good recommendations for dinner restaurants. Clean and well-furnished rooms, safe parking and a good breakfast.
Sunbird lodge is a beautiful place and perfectly located to start a trip to Kruger Park. The owner is very helpful and even sent stuff, which we had forgotten, to a different accommodation on our route. Definitely recommend to stay there.
The Lodge is very comforatble and Dave the owner very welcoming . Well appointed rooms and great breakfast - Good facilities , honesty bar , lots of birds in the garden - so take your birdbook and binocs - nice pool !
