This hotel was fabulous, we loved the size of the rooms, and the double shower was amazing. The pool area was relaxing and the staff served drinks to us there. We had a ceiling fan which kept the room cool and there was also air conditioning, which we didn't need. The bed was very comfortable and I slept very well there. It was lovely being able to sit in the dining area and watch the hippos in the evenings - what an experience. The hotel is set within easy reach of Kruger Game Reserve and The Elephant Whisperer experience. The food was lovely and there was always a good selection available. Staff were welcoming and friendly, especially a lovely lady called Pinky, who always had a smile, and was really welcoming. I would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay there again x

We were the only family at this restaurant, very over priced and waited over 35 minutes for toasted sandwiches, the chicken salad, was the most awful meal, I have ever had. Dried up pieces of chicken, a massive lettuce in the middle and dried white bread ( croutons) bacon was bacon bits, more like crumbs. Don’t order toasted chicken, my daughter only got mayonnaise and cucumber/red onions. Beautiful setting, a pity about the food and the drinks are very overpriced. The waitress was lovely however we won’t be back thanks.

We were booked two nights at this place for work year end function. It was such a perfect venue just to wind down the year's fatigue. As soon as one gets into the property you smell relaxation the air tells one that you're here to relax 😌 The rooms are big enough with enough space in the bathroom. Very important the aircorn came in handy as it was very hot. I didn't enjoy the food on the first but oh my oh my on the second at the Boma the chef was showing off 😁 the food was so delicious 😋 the restaurant manager Thato really looked after us. My only disappointment is that I didn't see the Hippos as I heard that they come through the waters by the restaurant, I guess 🤷 next time

Broken aircon and it was 40degrees! The shower collects water ,it doesn’t drain Thato at the restaurant undermines trainees and embarrasses them! She second guesses them and shows the customers! We were rushed 2 hours before closing to grab our food! I had high hopes

Hippo Hollow is a restaurant in a hotel complex in a wonderful setting backing into the Sabie River. As the name suggests, there is a food chance of seeing hippos - and we did. We saw a large solo hippo and then a mother/baby. As for the food it was nice enough without being exceptional and the service was very good. I would definitely recommend eating here

The staff were really nice and helpful. The food at the restaurant was very tasteful! We even saw some baby hippo’s at night in the river! The beds are huge, Wich I was really nice. The rooms are also very clean. The whole vibe & scenery of this hotel is lovely and a true African experience.
