We were on our way to the northern part of the Kruger Park and Sunbird Lodge was a lovely, convenient place to stay. Dave welcomed us and we were happy with our big room but the plus feature of Sunbird Lodge is the beautiful large garden with many trees and plants all beautifully maintained surrounding a pool. Our room was comfortable and clean and breakfast delicious. Sunbird Lodge is also conveniently placed to do shopping for essential supplies before entering the park.
I stayed at The Sunbird Lodge for three nights in January 2019 while visting the northern part of Kruger Park. The facilites and service were excellent. They made me sack meals to take with me as i had very early pickups for my game drives. The room was fine with good wifi and air condiitoning. The one full breakfast I had there was complete and excellent. Security was fine. The manager was very friendly and helpful with local infromation about sights, restaurants, petrol stops and routing for my return to Johannesburg, including having a prepared map of al lthe different routings. I would definitely visit the Sunbird Lodge again.
I cannot recommend a better place to stay in Phalaborwa than Sunbird Lodge. Dave was so accommodating and helped us so much with our project. The property is very comfortable and it felt like home. We stayed also in some private reserves and in much more expensive camps that included game drives and such, but actually we didn't need to, because we saw more animals driving on our own in an SUV while staying at Sunbird Lodge than further out in those reserves. Whether you are making stopover or staying there for the whole time, I highly recommend it.
We needed a stop over before visiting Kruger Park and Sunbird Lodge proved to be perfect. Our welcome was warm and friendly. The rooms, all opening onto a beautiful garden are spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The gardens are beautiful with a stunning swimming pool area. Before going out for supper we enjoyed a drink at the bar which has a honesty box. The lodge is close to all amenities and good restaurants and close to Kruger Park gate. We spent two nights there and will visit again. No need for us to ever look for accommodation in Phalaborwa again.
Had a great stay at Sunbird. Couldn't have asked for a better host! Friendly & helpful and made us feel at home. The room was well equipped, neat and clean and the staff was very friendly. The garden is spectacular and perfect for relaxing. We ready made another booking for the rest of the family for the December holidays! Can't wait! Thank you for a great experience.
