Located on the banks of the Crocodile River with views of the adjoining Kruger National Park, this 5-star self-catering villa features a private outdoor swimming pool and a patio with BBQ facilities.

The four-bedroom villa comes with a fully-equipped kitchen and an open-plan dining and lounge area with satellite TV. Each of the 4 bedrooms is air-conditioned and has its en-suite bathroom with a bathrobe, hairdryer and free toiletries. Other amenities include a washing machine and free WiFi.

The villa is absolutely gorgeous & spotlessly clean & the location couldn't be better. The view over Crocodile river is stunning & the wildlife is everywhere. We watched the hippos every morning, had deer & a Genet in the garden & even had an elephant wandering past the end of the garden Peter was so helpful & kept in touch right up to our arrival, even booking us a Game drive in Kruger (which is only on the other side of the river) & offering to make dinner reservations for us. I honestly cannot recommend Khandizwe any higher. Its exceptional & we can't wait to go back

    I loved how comfortable,peaceful and clean the property is. The location is really convenient. Close to Malelane CBD and also located on the Crocodile river. Once you enter the gates of the lodge it doesn’t even feel like you’re so close to town.

    We loved our stay at River House Lodge. All the staff was great, super available and kind. They took care of scheduling the game drives for us, which was incredibly helpful. The food at dinner was great! The viewing deck is beautiful, and the hotel is very close to Malelane Gate.

    We traveled as a large group of family. We all loved everything about River Cottage Lodge, the rooms were clean, the location was perfect and amazing view to a river where you sit by and watch the sunset. Greg was a great host, always available and a good communicator from the time we booked to the time we were checking in. I have nothing to fault the lodge, I would definitely book there again

    It’s a beautiful lodge giving up the country house vibe with a very unique charm. You could spend hours discovering the collections of unique items displayed throughout the house. Located directly on the crocodile river and opposite the Kruger National Parc you may spot different animals from the viewing deck. The staff is very kind and helpful. I would recommend spending a few nights and enjoying the amazing food.

    One of the best equipped and prepared self catering units we have ever stayed in. We usually only consider booking where an establishment is rated 8 or higher. We could not fault Timmerstuga. All the complimentary extras like a bottle of wine, filtered water, chocolate, variety of spices etc were a joy to behold.

    The accommodation looks even better live! It’s a lovely cottage with space to hang out. You even have your own terrace. Furthermore the equipment is very good including all the kitchen dishes, coffee machine etc. We unfortunately only stayed there for one night. Mara is a kind host and only wants the best for her guests! Since she has solar energy you even have light and Wi-Fi during load shedding - a big plus!

    The setting is idyllic and the attention of the staff was exceptional. Say that again! The staff went way beyond the extra mile. As value for money goes, our stay was superb. This isn't a high end lodge but its setting more than qualifies it as a superb venue and an ideal place to stay before entering the Kruger Park after a long journey. Oh, and the meal was great! And they are dealing with loadshedding by going off the grid.

    A wonderful hideaway! Exceptional hospitality from staff, who were very welcoming and accommodating even when we arrived late and after dark. Cottages are spacious ,comfortable and cosy with all amenities (tea, coffee, extra blankets, etc) provided. Generator for during load shedding just to make everything even easier. A beautiful retreat in a magical and lush setting.
