Highlight was the jacuzzi, the room is dated and needs some work. Location was good for access to panoroma and Kruger.
This hotel was ok, I found the tent very cold even tho it had a AC unit but it still didn’t warm up. The bathroom was completely separate. You had to lock and unlock 2 doors to get to the kitchen/bathroom. There is everything you need. The hot tub wasn’t very hot and needed more water. The whole stay was ok but not amazing.
Spontanbokade när vi behövde boende för några dagar, så nöjda och så bra! Både privata poolen och den allmänna. Bra boende och bra kök!
Trevlig personal och allt bra😀
