Our stay was quite comfortable. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful with everything -- they helped us make arrangements to get to/from Mozambique (and did so without any hitches). Overall a great place, highly recommended for a place to relax and unwind. Convenient and safe location too.

If you looking for a good place to stay - stop over in Nelspuit - on your way to southern Kruger, you will definitely find a quite and safe accommodation close to the centre in a nice botanical area. Rooms and facilities are nice and clean. A lot of Tours can be arranged by the staff.
