La Lechere Guest House ★★★★

📍 8 Sysie St, Phalaborwa

"The guesthouse is situated within a beautiful garden. Guests can enjoy breakfast on the wooden terrace. The swimming pools are beautifully designed. A bar area provides a lovely spot to sit and enjoy a drink in the evening. The owner is happy to assist with any questions. A particular highlight is the provision of small cooler boxes for picnics in the nearby Kruger National Park. The rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, are very lovely. The bed, complete with a mosquito net, featured excellent mattresses. There is a small terrace located just outside the garden door. The staff are charming, and the dogs are adorable. The guesthouse is fenced and secure. A truly wonderful stay. "

Sunbird Lodge
9.2 (26 reviews)

Sunbird Lodge ★★★

📍 21 Aalwyn St, Phalaborwa

"I spent two nights at Sunbird before entering Kruger NP. Our room was nice, quite big and located in a beautiful garden full of different plants. Breakfast was yummy, offering wide choice of tea, cereals and banana bread, before a full English breakfast was served. The location is very good, close to supermarkets and to the Kruger NP gate as well. If this is not enough, the point of strength of Sunbird Lodge is Dave, the owner, that was very helpful since I enquired for booking and, once there, gave us advice about restaurants, shops and about the road to the Olifants River cruise. I'll go there again when I'll visit Kruger next and I deeply advise this accommodation."

Casa Leitao Lodge ★★★

📍 1 Soetdoring St, Phalaborwa

"A pleasant and comfortable stay, conveniently located near restaurants and local attractions. Overall, Casa Leitao offers reliable comfort, excellent location, and great amenities at a fair price. It is also close to the Kruger National Park if you'd like to take a drive through the Kruger."

Shabis guest lodge ★★★

📍 17 Essehout, Phalaborwa

Sefapane Lodge and Safaris
8.0 (10 reviews)

Sefapane Lodge and Safaris ★★★★

📍 Koper Rd, Phalaborwa

"While placed in an ideal location (2 min from Kruger Gate) there are other improvements needed. The staff weren’t friendly nor welcoming, the rooms weren’t entirely clean, play area and swimming pool in poor conditions. One positive thing is that the food from the restaurant is really good (a la carte). The breakfast buffet included in the room price is very limited in options. "

📍 Plot 109, Phalaborwa

Iso'Bella Vita Guesthouse
9.3 (5 reviews)

Iso'Bella Vita Guesthouse ★★★★

📍 26 Sperwer St, Phalaborwa

"This is a truly special place to stay, close to the town, and many restaurants nearby. Very relaxing pool area, and lounge. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, they even did a breakfast pack when we left early for one of our trips. Breakfast is served with pride, wonderful staff and great service. We have now stayed there twice, and will again on our next visit to Phalaborwa. If you want a place that is both comfortable and convenient for all that surrounds you, then choose ISO Bella Vita Guess House."

Sunbird Lodge ★★★
"I had a wonderful stay at Sunbird Lodge. The host, Dave, was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and it was clear he takes a genuine interest in all his guests. He had great suggestions for where we could find dinner, and those recommendations completely changed our perception of an area that’s often overlooked. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with lovely beds that made for a great night’s rest. Breakfast was also enjoyable and a nice way to start the day. Overall, Sunbird Lodge offers warm hospitality, thoughtful local insight, and a comfortable stay, a place I’d happily return to (with secure overnight parking)"

Mbizi Bush Lodge ★★★
"Our stay at Mbizi Bush Lodge was mixed. On the one hand, we were utterly amazed by the viewings around the Grietjie Private Nature Reserve on which the lodge is located, as well as the frequent elephant visits to the pool. Despite the summer season making it difficult to see across the bush, we were lucky to see many elephant herds, rhinoceros, lions, giraffes, and more. In addition, Divya's cooking was exceptional, and she kindly accommodated last-minute to my vegetarian diet despite us having forgotten to give advance notice. On the other hand, many of our experiences at the lodge made it feel like we had overpaid for the service we received. First of all, we were not contacted prior to our arrival except in response to our own inquiries, and no arrangements were organised to help us arrive from the airport to the lodge. Although this is not something we expect everywhere we stay, we feel it is a part of the safari industry in South Africa, at the very least for the host to explain how to arrive to the lodge, and typically to also arrange airport pick-up. Secondly, upon arrival at 2pm, we were told the kitchen was closed and we could no longer order or purchase any food for lunch. Having come straight from the airport (with our own transportation method), we therefore had no food other than (chargeable) potato chips until the evening meal. This again falls short of our expectations given the price paid and the remote location of the lodge preventing us from looking for alternatives for food. Adding to this point, we were often left to our own devices during the day. The staff was hidden away in the main house of the owner, and we were unable to find them to make simple requests (such as for lunch on our second day). Had it not been for the delicious food in the evening, it would have felt as though we were staying at a self-catered accommodation, perhaps more suited to clients with rental cars who are able to arrive and get their own food by themselves. Third, and most importantly, the game-drive experience was considerably lacking. Bjorn, the owner and safari guide, was reluctant on two occasions to bring us on a morning-drive, claiming that the weather would be too bad for any sightings. We accepted the cancelation on the first day, but insisted on the second day to do the game-drive nonetheless, and it happened to be one of the best drives we had done out of the three. My sister being in the safari industry in South Africa, I also know that guides tend to 'try' whether or not the weather is ideal because you never know what you may spot. It was disappointing for Bjorn to insist upon not doing the game-drives. On top of this, while we were beyond happy with the sightings we had, we found Bjorn's engagement during the game-drives to be lacking. We were offered no spontaneous information, on either the animals we were seeing or on the bush in general, and our numerous questions obtained short, often snappy responses. The coffee/drinks brea"

Muweti Bush Lodge ★★★★
"We had the most incredible experience at Muweti. Located in the beautiful Grietjie Nature reserve, the lodge was comfortable, safe, very clean and calm. The room was lovely, the bed was comfortable and the room had everything you need for a luxurious stay in the bush. Mike and Laura made us feel so welcome and taken care of. Anything we needed, they were happy to accommodate. The staff and the game drivers were incredible and so friendly. They try their best to accommodate any dietary restrictions. The game drives were unforgettable. What an amazing experience! Our game drivers were so knowledgable and always considerate towards the animals. We loved our experience and we will definitely be back to enjoy all the incredible things Muweti Bush Lodge has to offer!"
