I love staying at Bushveld Terrace - has a lovely atmosphere and rooms are lovely - also I know it will be two minutes to get into the Kruger Park which is why we stay there most times before our Kruger trips. Service good and friendly staff :)

One of the BEST places we have ever stayed. From booking to check-out - professional staff and nothing was too much. The Guest House exceeded every expectation. Attention to detail, rooms are gorgeous, entertainment area was stunning, and gardens were a treat to sit an enjoy your morning coffee.. Your own private pool and Boma - what more can one ask for! if there were 10 Stars this establishment, they would deserve every star. If you do not feel like cooking, the restaurant is 5-Star. Food is exceptional. Highly recommend for you stop-over before you enter the Kruger Gate. Perfectly positioned a stone's throw from the Phalaborwa gate.

pleasant african-style hotel with large parking lot, pool, and generator to overcome load-shedding. The hotel has a nice restaurant section, dinner and breakfast are good. It is only 200 meters from the Kruger gate, so a perfect location for day-trips to the patk. There is a security guard patrolling from 6pm to 6am, and the gate to the parking lot is closed somewhere in the evening. Maybe a 24h gate guard at the parking lot could be considered

The receptionist forgot our special arrangement for our special occasion. The hotel was beautiful, the room was huge but we struggled with mosquitoes. The restaurants food was exquisite and their service excellent. Wonderful ambiance of the hotel. There could be more dstv channels to choose from. We were disappointed by the bushbaby excursion of a boat trip on the Olifants River. Too expensive for what we received.

Service is top - notch from to down. My family was well looked after, food was fantastic and rooms super clean. Will we go back ? Of course we will! Situated about 100m from Kruger National Park, the location is perfect. Well done to the staff, management and owner.
