Beautiful cottage, small with very few guests. Nice furniture, all amenities (shower, fridge, wifi, pool, air cond etc), all clean and in great condition. The host, Eric, is a very nice guy, serves a great breakfast, and was generally very helpful.

I definitely rate this Cottage as 5 stars. The location is great and so close to Kruger National Park. The owners Eric and Janet are very friendly and helpful. All the rooms are very clean with all the necessary materials you ever need. Breakfast is good with plenty of choices and the environment is very quiet and beautiful. I will recommend it to everyone and I will surely stay there again if I go back next time. Great place to stay and enjoy every moment While I was there.

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.

Beautiful place close to Kruger Malelane Entrance
Lovely, beautifully decorated thatched cottages in lush garden with private parking. The hosts were friendly and helpful with the area history, including family going back hundreds of years, recommendations for local restaurants and in tweaking our route within Kruger to maximize animal sightings. Breakfast was very good.

Mycket mysigt och fint hotell!
Mycket fint och mysigt hotell med supertrevliga ägare! Hotellet är byggt och inrett med kärlek och stil in i minsta detalj! Dock var sängen lite hård och ac:n placerad så det blåser på de sovande i sängen. Tyvärr är det en kort bit till restaurang för middag under vår vistelse, restaurangen hette Hamilton. Välj en annan om ni kan! Men detta kompenseras med en över lag fantastiskt fin hotellvistelse!

Notre séjour a été fantastique. L’accueil des hôtes, la propreté, la tranquilité, le décor et la sécurité étaient au rendez-vous. Le déjeuner était excellent. Avoir eu plus de temps, nous serions restés plus de 2 nuits. Nous avons fait un safari avec CD Tours et avons réussi à voir le Big Five en un peu plus de 2 heures. :) Il n’y a pas beaucoup de restaurants dans le coin mais le Hamilton fait de bonnes pizzas ainsi que le canard que nous avons essayé.
