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!

Vor Anreise Kontakt per WhatsApp mit Besitzer bzgl Ankunftszeit, schlĂŒssel usw. Unterkunft liegt 2min vom Kruger/malalane Gate entfernt, in sehr sicherem compound (Security an zugangstor), wunderschöne cottages, sehr sauber, gemĂŒtlich, toll eingerichtet. Perfekte Lage um den Park zu besuchen, ggĂŒ auch ein schöner Golfplatz und 2min entfernt kann man sehr gut essen (Name des Restaurants/Hotels vergessen aber war ein guter Tip vom Hausbesitzer, also einfach ihn danach fragen). Gutes FrĂŒhstĂŒck, in 4 Std ist man vom hektischen JNB-airport in dieser "anderen Welt" angek9mmen. Sehr zu empfehlen!

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.

Accueilli avec chaleur par Erik et Jeanny dans leur cotage tres calme et intime, nous avons passé un séjour de 7 nuits formidable. AprÚs des journées torrides dans les parks a proximité (l'entrée sud du park kruger est a moins de 5 minutes), une petite baignade dans la piscine était bien rafraichissante. Bref que du bonheur
