Very clean, if a bit corporate feel to it. Great big rooms and bathrooms with a view. Sadly no mosquito nets and plenty of mosquitoes. While service, rooms and food was all perfectly fine, it lacked some of the special touch of the other places we stayed at in SA. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Thabo 16 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The stay was a great one, but its just a few things that I feel can be fixed or adjusted for. 1. Comfort - A TV is a must, we can have guest fighting over one TV. 2. Condition - The road leading to riverside lodge is very bad. ##### Thabo Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Shannon 7 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great stay.

Keine Klima. Direkt in einem Wildreservat mit vielen Tieren. Wenn man von unten zum Hotel Fährt ist die Straße der Horror. Den Weg zur Riverlodge darf man auch nur mit dem Auto fahren wegen der Tiere und man sollte besser nüchtern sein ;) ##### Katrin Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 4 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The room and the environment was amazing. The only criticism I have is that they only offer buffet and you can not order off a normal menu. We went off the resort to obtain food at a near by restaurant for a reasonable price. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mr d 18 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Interesting & different place to stay, recommende Easy to find as well signposted from main road. quick efficient check in and transfer from main lodge to satellite lodge about 2km in the park by the river where there was lots of tame wildlife- warthog, gazelle, hornbill - wandering around. Room was huge with four poster bed and bath tub in one corner with separate shower and toilet. large terrace with settee and untroubled by bugs, even at dusk. only drawback was need to drive back to main area for dinner which was a reasonably priced buffet overlooking the waterhole area which had lots of wildlife- peacocks, bunnies, gazelle, lions (thankfully caged), thoroughly recommended ##### Mr d Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Eric C Mc Gee 8 Oct 2018 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Room fot improvement Lack attention to detail.

The food is delicious!! ##### Kyle ### 2/10 Terrible #### DEBRA, Melbourne 7 Jan 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Smelly bedding with very slow service at meals We stayed in the lodge, which was several kilometres from reception, in the bush. Only one other couple were staying there. No security was provided for us overnight and we felt very unsafe and vulnerable. The swimming pool was dirty and full of particles and mould. Our bed stunk strongly of body odour and the smell was so bad that it kept us awake. We don't think the bedding was clean or fresh. The toilet smelled of stale urine. At breakfast and dinner the service was extremely slow between courses. The sausage served at breakfast was undercooked inside. We couldn't wait to leave. ##### DEBRA ### 8/10 Good #### Jim, UK 13 Dec 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A pleasant 2 days break on a long drive I chose Mpongo for a break whilst driving south from Durban to Cape Town. An excellent choice for me - moreover because there were few other guests and I could please myself. Still seemed to be quite a lot of work going on around the cpmplex. ##### Jim ### 8/10 Good #### Rodrick, Johannesburg 13 Dec 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great getaway for the family. Arrived and at checkin I didn't quite like the room they had prepared for us at and the Huberta Lodge. After a lengthy discussion with management we finally reached an agreement, I paid a little extra and was upgraded to the nicer River Lodge. Room Tip: River Lodge is the one you see in most of the picture gallery and was worth the extra charge. Thomas our fantastic host and guide drove us to our new rooms were Portia settled us in and made us feel at home. Our new room was what I had initially expected, it had plenty of room and was very comfortable. We had a little tour of River Lodge which sits in a valley with luscious surroundings and wildlife. We had some Nyala grazing outside by our patio. The swimming pool did need some attention it took two days for them to get it into a condition that we could swim. All in all we had a memorable great stay. The highlight was dinning at the waterhole, the food was always delicious thanks to our chef Aubrey. Will certainly pay another visit. ##### Rodrick ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 8 Dec 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### animals outside your window Our stay was only one night but was still fantastic. On Arrival we arrived at our room to find hippos outside the living room window as well as a few other animals throughout the day. As we were in the house we were picked up and driven down to the lodge for our evening meal. We would highly recommend the early morning bush walk the guides were fantastic and very knowledgeable we were even able to get quite close to a family of giraffes. This is definitely somewhere we would recommend. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 11 Oct 2015 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service #### stay was not good Not good due to condition of bathroom ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > > [Mabula Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bela-Bela-Hotels-Mabula-Game-Lodge.h1559026.Hotel-Information) > > [Tsala Treetop Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plettenberg-Bay-Hotels-Tsala-Treetop-Lodge.h1030430.Hotel-Information) > > [The Boardwalk Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Elizabeth-Hotels-The-Boardwalk-Hotel.h5431069.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwa Maritane Self-Catering Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Self-Catering-Chalets.h22471915.Hotel-Information) > > [Inverdoorn Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Breede-River-Hotels-Inverdoorn-Private-Game-Reserve.h3131643.Hotel-Information) > > [Gondwana Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mossel-Bay-Hotels-Gondwana-Game-Reserve.h4145102.Hotel-Information) > > [Woodbury Tented Camp - Amakhala Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sidbury-Hotels-Woodbury-Tented-Camp-Amakhala-Game-Reserve.h9642577.Hotel-Information) > > [Ivory Tree Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Ivory-Tree-Game-Lodge.h5994597.Hotel-Information) > > [Kariega Game Reserve - Main Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenton-On-Sea-Hotels-Kariega-Game-Reserve-Main-Lodge.h4576469.Hotel-Information) > > [Margate Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margate-Hotels-Margate-Beach-Club.h9458217.Hotel-Information) > > [Lush Private Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Lush-Private-Lodge.h24940930.Hotel-Information) > > [Mhondoro Safari Lodge & Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Mhondoro-Safari-Lodge-Villa.h11522151.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani River Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Tented-Camp-All-Inclusive.h57157744.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Polokwane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Polokwane-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Polokwane.h17771611.Hotel-Information) > > [Hartford House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mooirivier-Hotels-Hartford-House.h27344764.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cabanas-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9459.Hotel-Information) > > [Sanbona Wildlife Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barrydale-Hotels-Sanbona-Wildlife-Reserve.h1155735.Hotel-Information) > > [Garden Route Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albertinia-Hotels-Garden-Route-Game-Lodge.h2917158.Hotel-Information) > > [Pumba Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grahamstown-Hotels-Pumba-Private-Game-Reserve.h2319463.Hotel-Information) > > [Tshukudu Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Tshukudu-Bush-Lodge.h1201423.Hotel-Information) > > [Bukela Game Lodge Amakhala Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paterson-Hotels-Bukela-Game-Lodge-Amakhala-Game-Reserve.h3071658.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Safari-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36961786.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Touws-River-Hotels-Aquila-Private-Game-Reserve-Spa.h6347327.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Bush-Lodge.h526966.Hotel-Information) > > [Sebatana Private Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Sebatana-Private-Reserve.h32459379.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cascades Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cascades-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9515.Hotel-Information) > > [Glen Afric Country Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broederstroom-Hotels-Glen-Afric-Country-Lodge.h27136993.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun City Hotel and Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-Soho-Hotel-Casino-At-Sun-City-Resort.h527184.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oyster Box](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Umhlanga-Hotels-The-Oyster-Box.h2939964.Hotel-Information)
