Riverview Inn

LOCATION IS EXCEPTIONAL,

SUPPER WAS A SURPRISE, ORDERED FISH AND CHIPS BUT GOT FISH, PAP AND SOUS

The Riverview Inn hotel was amazing. The location is perfect and you are right by the Kruger gate. You get a beautiful view of Crocodile River from your hotel room and the observation deck. The pool is right on the deck as well as the eating area. The food was great, we had both breakfast and dinner. They accommodated our large group with ease and made it a very intimate and fun experience. The rooms are super - bathroom and shower was the nicest of our 7 different hotels we stayed at in South Africa.

Nothing!

Amazing spot on the river with great open deck. Rooms are spacious and in good condition. Food is generous and good value.

No complaints.

The location is very nice, the sounds of birds and hippo's and sometimes elephants.Kruger park just from.the other side of river.Malelane gate to Kruger park is just few miles from this place.

Be beautiful view from the deck they have right at the restaurant we got to see a hippopotamus in the river and it has a beautiful sunset view as well. It’s very close to the gate around 10 minutes drive and it has good food in the restaurant as well offered.

We arrived late evening after sunset and left early morning before sunrise, so it is a bit difficult to evaluate the property. And we missed the fantastic view on the river this hotel has. The territory of this hotel is secured, it has a big parking space. The hotel did not have a lot of guests at this timepoint, and the restaurant was empty, nevertheless we got the very good dinner with steaks.

We asked for morning coffee and the answer was definitive NO, because we were leaving too early, which was understandable, but was a bit disappointing. The room was on the second floor, where only the narrow spiral staircase led. It was a bit challenging to drag all our suitcases in the room.

View over the Crocodile River. Wildlife. Friendliness of staff

Location is perfect! Staff are friendly and helpful. Great place to stay before entering the Kruger Park.

Clean, comfortable, warm and safe. The view across the Crocodile river is magnificent. We saw numerous animals, including a large herd of Elephants of all sizes that remained for at least five hours. Hippos, warthogs, waterbuck, impala and a large amount of different bird species blessed us with their presence as well, including two fish eagles that sang their song overhead. truly magnificent.

We didnt like leaving to come home.

The location and the fact that they accomodated by request to stay on the first floor with a beautiful view to the river.The staff was friendly.

The bed sheets were not clean.The door of the shower did not seal well.The main door did not offer much security.The room is spacious but needs improvement on the lighting.

It was absolutely lovely. The view over the crocodile river was exceptional. Rooms and facilities were fantastic. Staff friendly and helpful. Swimming pool was spotless and the deck awesome.

going home

Lovely terrace overlooking the crocodile river and Kruger Room very spacious, comfortable and nice ensuite bathroom

Location is great with a good view.

No dinner facilities & no breakfast facilities.

Excellent. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Please offer strawberry jam and Marmelade with your breakfast. Also a higher quality sausage.

Good value for the price, secure parking, rooms spacious with modern bathroom, beds firm and comfortable. Smart TV with open view but we tend not to watch TV when on a break. Bar fridge and you are allowed your own drinks. Stayed on the second floor and with the balcony doors open you could view the river, hippos, elephant, waterbuck, impala, tranquil flowing of the river. Restaurant on site with limited items on the menu but the portions we were served were decent and very tasty, lunch we ordered toasted sandwiches and they even made my wife a sandwich which was not on the menu. Beautiful pool and deck area, perfect to cool down. Staff are very friendly and helpfull and will carry your luggage to your room if asked. Malelane gate 13 minutes drive and perfect entry into the Kruger.

Everything was as advertised.. The staff was very friendly especially the supervisor.

Switching off the aircon in the middle of the night.. The weather is very hot that side. They should have at least 1 or two side plates in the rooms for snacks. Other than that.. I loved it

Riverview Inn ticks all the boxes! A hidden gem in Malelane. Excellent service overall. A large deck with wonderful views over the Crocodile River and part of the Kruger National Park. We viewed Hippos in the river and Water Buck on the opposite bank. Excellent value for money. Riverview Inn will be our first choice whenever we stop over in Malelane. My wife and I highly recommend the Riverview Inn.

The fact that we could only spend one night at Riverview Inn.

we loved this place, every room has a view on the pool/river/Kruger park. when you are on the patio near the pool you have a perfect view on the park and we did see all kind of animals. We also loved the nice pool. They have a restaurant on site and we decided to eat there especially as you can't beat the view and dinner was really great. Our biggest regret was that we only booked one night - as we really loved the location and the facility.

This is the 3rd time we have stayed here and we will return. Staff are really lovely, good food and cold beers! Nice pool. Rooms spacious. Great views of River and the elephants come out to graze at night just below. Only 4 hrs from joberg airport so good place to stop and collect supplies before kruger.

Lovely, newly refurbished hotel on the banks of the Crocodile River. Great views watching the wildlife, lovely pool area, friendly staff and great food.

Nothing, everything was spot on.
