The chalets are modern, clean, and spacious. It is a long walk to reach the chalets or to access the restaurant, activity areas and reception. If you have a car, this is not a concern. The views are fabulous. You can walk to the upper viewpoint to see the three rondavels. There are small short trails to reach to restaurant, BRING A FLASHLIGHT to return to your chalet. There are laundry facilities and after walking all the way down to the reception to purchase a token, I was told that they machines are free !!!! Happy to get the exercise... There are baboons on the property so see that the windows and doors shut behind you. The restaurant servers were eager to please, food was average and reasonably priced.

If you are in the resort, you can see the 3 Rondavels really good !! The food is fine (never know what to expect though). Bar closes too soon. At 10PM we normally get started ;-). Sleeping is OK and everything is very clean.

Stayed here as part of a group and the location is fantastic. There are a number of trails you can take that give you access to numerous picture perfect Blyde Canyon spots. The facilities are not bad - you get a decent amount of space per cabin and things were clean and tidy. Restaurant is ok, food was buffet style with a reasonable selection. Bar is small with a few choices. Things close up quite early it seems so just be aware as we were the last ones in and they were waiting keys in hand. Service wise staff friendly and happy to help. A solid choice that is ultimately all about the location.

The resort is perfectly situated to explore the canyon and the Hoedspruit endangered species center and Moholoholo. Chalets have all you need and the pool is great on a hot day. The Kruger could be reached comfortably for our trip further.

The cottages are nice and have two bedrooms, a bath and a separate kitchen, but a bit run down. The park as such is great with a beautiful view point over the canyon. We could not find the other viewpoint. The food in the restaurant is good for a reasonable price.

the resoirt is very well placed directly at the Canyon and offers some very nice walks there. The respaurant is very nice and the chalets are suitable to stay during the visit of the canyon. The shop and pool add very well to the resort.

Excellent experience! The views surrounding the resort are absolutely gorgeous, especially the upper view point of the 3 rondawels! Great resort for business, family or couples, with lots of in-house activities as well as surrounding activities close by.

Spectacular views and great accommodation in the guest chalet. Highly recommended. A plunge in the ice-cold water at the waterfall was a highlight. Second time that I came back after a great first experience

This resort is the perfect location with some chalets having a direct view of the canyon and all being near to the various walks and hikes to see the canyon and other attractions (waterfalls etc). The rooms are not modern but they are clean and serve their purpose. The restaurant is good value for money but dont expect gourmet meals.
