Pestana Kruger Lodge Malelane

There is aircon in every room, as well as TV, minibar and hair-dryer, even the standard rooms.

We liked the specious rooms and the food was good the wine was expensive.

The rooms and lodge are in excellent condition.

The rooms were comfortable and had great views of the river and hippos.

Our friends had a standard room which was not very nice, so we were happy that we had booked a luxury room.

Only comment on the Pestana restaurant was that service in the breakfast was sometimes slow.

Breakfast was all right, if something was finished they didn't refill, and there was only 1 tiny fruit salad in a region that has so many fresh fruits to offer.

In the restaurant, they switched the aircon on heating when it was hot, and on cooling when it was cold, and it was quite difficult to make them understand how it was supposed to work.

The food was above expectation, we didn't eat from the buffet, although it looked quite nice.

There are a choice of 2 restaurants just outside the hotel which are safe to walk to.

Service was very good, the staff was very friendly and helpful.

The staff are very friendly, except the odd person on reception.

There are a few dining options at and around the hotel, Croccafellas, just outside the gate of the hotel was great, service really good and the food tasty and good quality.

Location is great for the Kruger Park but do NOT book it through reception, walk to the entrance of the hotel and book it direct with the Safari people as this wil save you £10 per person.

Internet access, parking and lodging was superior.

The cushions at the swimming pool where far beyond their time, as the inside came out of their covers.
