Komatipoort business
Amazing value for money. The room was very clean, tidy and well appointed. The check in was quick an easy - you can be left to your own devices or the owners are warm and engaging so it depends what fits you. WiFi signal a bit slow but to be expected in that region in general. Cell reception was great. Great place to eat 5 mins away - the Stoep cafe.

Modern Guesthouse Close to Kruger National Park
A modern, well-appointed guesthouse near the Crocodile Gate of Kruger National Park. An ideal base for a day trip to the park (if you come by rental car). A portion of the park and the Mozambique border are visible from the balcony. Almost like a small hotel. Two spacious buildings in a fenced compound. Nice landscaping. Wifi available in common areas and in some rooms. Microwave and fridge in common area. I got a lot more here than what I paid for. One disappointment: no meerkats.

Great value for money
The accommodation was great value for money. Room was 100% clean, we found everything asexpected. Breakfast was not included as advertised but would be a great value add if they'd offer it. Therefore, all meals to be taken in the centre Tower town which is a bit too far off for a walk.

Great stay
We really enjoyed our stay at Meerkat Manor. The owner was very friendly and helpful and made us feel at home. Our bags didn't arrive on our flight to Johannesburg so we had to get them delivered to the hotel, this was no problem with the owner. I would highly recommend it this hotel, particularly if you are going to Kruger National Park as we saw lions and leopards on the road out of the Crocodile Bridge Gate.

If you happen to be in Komatipoort.....
Komatipoort isn't exactly a hot tourist destination but if you need a place to stay, Meerkat Manor is your place. Quiet, comfortable, clean, restful, and the owners are great.

Great spot near Kruger Park and Mozambique border
My family and I live in Maputo and visit Kruger for quick weekend visits. Meerkat Manor has been by far the best place we've stayed in the area. The owners are extremely friendly and everything about the rooms exceeded our expectations. Having only driven through Komatipoort before, I would have never guessed that such a calm and peaceful guesthouse could be found here. Well done!

Meerkat Manor is an ideal location to start or end a trip to the Kruger Park. Very nice accommodation very friendly hosts and good value for money, would recommend to anyone visiting the Park. Restaurants are limited in Komatipoort, otherwise perfect.

Great view, New room
The room was on the top floor and we could see into Kruger. It was a really beautiful view to wake up to in the morning! Room was new and very clean. We only stayed one night (a last minute choice to add an extra day- no room at our previous hotel) but it is a definite option for travelers. Would like them to add a restaurant/food services and perhaps a pool as they grow; this property has potential. Recommended stay.

Welcoming and Comfort - near Crocodile Gate
A very nice guest house moments away from Crocodile Gate for a great access to Kruger. The place is clean and safe and the rooms was comfortable, everything works as it should. Owned and run by a very welcoming and helpful couple. Good value. Recommended to spend the night before you go look for the lions. If you are lucky you might hear the elephant calls from Kruger while staying on the balcony with your tea.We enjoyed our stay!

Bien et tout près du parc
Une nuit passée dans cette guesthouse. Principal intérêt : c'est à 15min de l'entrée du parc Kruger. Jolie propriété dans laquelle on rentre grace au code envoyé par email par la propriétaire. Accueil en demi-teinte, on comprend qu'on l'a réveillée pendant la sieste.. Mais les propriétaires sont gentils. La sortie de la cour se fait par un autre portail que la propriétaire actionne elle même quand elle entend la voiture démarrer ! Nous avions un peu peur que cela pose problème pour notre départ matinal (5h) le lendemain matin, mais non, elle semble être habituée. Chambre toute petite mais avec balcon avec vue sur le parc. Salle de bain ok. Propreté ok. Pas de petit déjeuner possible ni de diner. Du coup c'est dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de frigo dans la chambre.. Je recommande tout de même.

Excelente custo beneficio
Para quem quer conhecer o Kruger Park é uma ótima opção de estadia boa e barata. Nao é exatamente um hotel e sim quartos que são alugados por um casal que mora no local. Proprietários super acolhedores e simpáticos. Quarto limpo e confortável. Local super arrumado e fica apenas a 10km do portão do Crocodile Bridge.

Schöne Unterkunft nahe Kruger Park
Meine Frau und ich haben das Meerkat Manor aufgrund seiner unmittelbaren Nähe zum Kruger Park (Crocodile Brigde) als Zwischenstopp auf unserer Südafrika Rundreise genutzt. Das Meerkat Manor bietet neben seiner guten Lage sehr saubere und komfortable Zimmer. Unser Gastgeber Ronnie war sehr freundlich und hat uns sowohl tolle Tipps für die Verpflegung (Abendessen und Frühstück) als auch unsere Weiterfahrt gegeben. Daher können wir das Meerkat Manor als Unterkunft nur weiterempfehlen :-)!
