Great host, comfortable beds and super close to Kruger's gate. The room was spacious, had aircon and a kitchen, which was very useful for us. It's located in a very safe neighborhood with lots of beautiful trees around. It's perfect for those arriving after the gate closure. We left at 5 am to get in the park early and our host had some fruits and breakfast arranged for us to take with us. 100% recommend it.

We really enjoyed staying here. The elephants came right up to the deck. At night, we heard lions nearby. It’s a magical place. The view from the deck is the Kruger National Park, and it’s exciting looking out the window in the morning knowing you could see anything. There’s crocodiles, hippos, waterbuck, elephants, impala always nearby.

Extremely comfortable bed, big bathroom and sofa with tv in a super clean, brand new hotel room complete with everything you might need, including a fully equipped kitchen. If you don’t want to cook yourself, you can order ahead from their extensive menu of lunches, dinners and even packed lunches: perfect if you’re using this place as a base to explore Kruger National Park (Malelane Gate is literally minutes away) or the Panorama Route. We only stayed one day, but would happily have stayed longer! Quinton showed us around when we arrived, answered all of our questions about the area, and even walked us to the nearby restaurant when we wanted to have some takeaway pizza without having to drive.

It is quiet place to stay and met our needs for a simple overnight stay. The common area patio/restaurant area is nice to sit and overlook the somewhat empty river. The whole property is fenced and gated and parking is within, so nice and secure. You are given a remote during your stay to open and close the gate upon entry and exit.

A wonderful place to stay, close to the Malelane gate. We were upgraded to the suite which had 2 bedrooms. The staff were so accommodating and friendly, helping us get pool towels (even though it wasn't hot enough for the pool). The restaurant was absolutely superb, and they gave us free shots as the train went past. Huge servings of meals and very good value. Way out of the accommodation brought you out past Shell service station which was perfect timing and very handy for top ups on the way to Kruger. Would happily stay here again.

We loved every moment of our stay at Riverview Inn. Beautiful rooms, spotlessly clean with comfortable beds and great showers. The location cannot be beat. Right on the banks of the Krokodil River, just perfect to appreciate the abundant wildlife in the area. The food at the restaurant was delicious with great service! What sets this property apart is the staff. Professional and friendly they are always ready to go out of their way to be of assistance. Thank you for an amazing stay. We can’t wait to go back!
