Hotels With bar in Mpumalanga, South Africa

It’s our honeymoon, and we’re glad we chose South Africa as our honeymoon destination! Spent 4 nights at Grand Kruger Lodge and booked 2 game drives, a sunrise bush walk and sunset drive via the lodge. The lodge staff were good representatives of South African hospitality; we were well taken care of since day 1 - from decorating our room to welcome us for our honeymoon, the delicious and homely dinner spread (we looked forward to checking out the handwritten menu on the blackboard daily!), the friendly chats to find out if we enjoyed our Kruger National Park experience, leaving us chocolates on our bed after dinner etc. Returning to the lodge after our day felt like returning home to meet close friends whom we knew by name. Special shoutout to Innocent (yes that’s a staff’s name) who even gave us a ride back to the lodge when he saw us walking on the dirt path back after visiting Marloth viewpoint! The game drives were conducted by the lodge safari guides, while the bush walk and sunset drive were conducted by SAN Parks rangers. We got Tamba as our game drive guide and learnt loads from him! From learning how to identify male/female animals via their distinctive features, to looking out for telltale signs such as animal poop and footprints to determine if the animals were nearby, the drives were like a live Nat Geo experience! Definitely miss this place and everyone we met at Kruger/Marloth. Thank you for the lovely memories 😊

Stayed for one night. No breakfast as we left very early for the airport. Hospital oh stylish room, comfortable mattresses and pillows. Dinner at the hotel restaurant - beyond all praise!

We spent a few nights at the White House Lodge and stayed in full delight. This is exactly the case when the guest house feels like a house, not like a faceless hotel. The room was perfectly clean, the bed was fresh, everything was thought up to tiny things. It feels like the house is being watched with love. The garden is a separate pleasure. It was nice to go out in the morning with a cup of coffee and just sit in silence among the green. Everything is neatly, careful, you can see the hand of the careful host. The hostess soul of this place. Thanks apart for her hospitality! The dinners she cooked were above all praise delicious, homely, with a soul. And the main thing she took over the whole organization: helped pick up tours exactly under our interests and organized transfers as we were comfortable. We felt not as tourists, but as long-awaited guests. If you are looking for a quiet, cozy place with human warmth and real care White House Lodge it is it.

What a spectacular place!!! Visited with my friend for a few days. It was her first time in South Africa. Experience left such a beautiful impression of our beautiful country and its people❤️❤️❤️ The place and staff were AMAZING!!! So friendly, helpful, cheerful - always a pleasure to be around. The food and drinks provided were delicious and spectacular. Our room was always clean, made up and fully stocked with drinks and snacks. The game drives were informative and spectacular - phenomenal drivers. Transportation from and to the airport was timely and fantastic! Definitely recommend staying here!!! Special thanks to Victor, Benedict, Reyneke*, Sam, Jane, Hamilton, Imagine, Marita, S’fiso, and the list goes on😁😁😁 My friends and I are already planning our next visit back!!!

This has to be one of the nicest hotel in the safari. We stayed at the newly built 2 bedrooms plunge pool villa, it is spectacular! Everything is perfect, from the interior design, panorama view, pool, amenities, beds, service and everything is amazing! Our safari guide is the best, he is great with children and also very knowledgeable on everything in the reserve from animals, birds, trees, insects and roads, on and off roads. The kitchen staffs offers us delicious meals everyday, everything is perfect!

“We had a truly wonderful stay at Simbavati Waterside. The hospitality and attention to detail made our experience unforgettable. Special thanks to our guide Sheddy for his deep knowledge and enthusiasm, our tracker Allan for his sharp eyes and calm professionalism, and our butler Richmond for his warm service and thoughtful care throughout the stay. Every part of the experience — from the game drives to the meals — was exceptional. We hope to return one day!”

The hotel is located in a safe area and well protected. It is clean and in a good condition. The price is reasonable. The room was provided with toiletries, fridge and air conditioner. We had everything we needed. The hotel manager always checked if we were ok or needed anything which was nice. We felt like we are at home. You can request transfer from the airport for additional charge if needed.

Hotel a bit in from the main road, about 3 km in. We arrived in the evening and not even sure if the road is leading into the hotel as the surrounding is dark and road is just dirt track road without any sign of building around.. More signs should be provided for first time visitors. But once inside the hotel compound it feels ok.

Our stay at this place was amazing! The staff was very friendly, the breakfast was delicious, and we took beautiful photos with the animals and fed them! We would love to return to this place! The owner of the lodge is an amazing person! The rooms and common areas are very clean and stylish! We are so happy to be here!
