Reviewer Type: Couple

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Room is not special. But the pool and restaurant on the rivers edge are making up for it. Very nice! Dinner and breakfast are good quality. Staff is attentive and friendly. There is wildlife to spot. Opposite Kruger.

Negative: I don't like the sign at the reception at the watercontainer: this water is only for hotelguests. Any staffmember using this water will be.... I was in shock. If you treat you're staff this way, how you think your staff will treat the quests.

Summary: The river view makes it worthwhile!
