The view was amazing. From the first minute we arrived, we could spot hippos, elephant, warthogs, or waterbuck on the river bank. The customer service was very friendly and helpful. The room is basic and matched the pictures - no surprises. It was cleaned daily with towels and water resupplied. Wifi was good and even worked on the terrace.

Fabulous setting overlooking the Crocodile river providing viewing of game as they come down to the water. We saw a large group of hippo grazing on the bank before entering the water. Super friendly staff and management who cater to your every need. Klein Johan and Adri went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Samuel in the kitchen is a treasure. The home-stead is packed with memorabalia with historical significance. We would definitely stay again.
Serenity Mountain and Forest Lodge is a hidden gem set among 1300 hectares of spectacular African scenery on the outskirts of Kruger National Park.

The Serenity Lodge lies apart from the city and all the turmoil and you are more than allowed to calm down and enjoy the forest and weather.
The staff was friendly, helpful and attentive.
Prices for activities were fair, the food (breakfast and dinner) was delicious and our lodge was located near to the restaurant, and parking area.
Some guests are complaining about the gravel road. The road is ~ 16 km long and hardly doable without an SUV. We drove a Toyota Corolla Quest and needed almost an hour for the way. We would recommend a better car than ours. Due to the fact that the lodge is completely transparent about the road and assists you with help, there's no reason to complain about the road.

Malelane is very beautiful and easy to get around.
Malelane is very beautiful and easy to get around. I loved the wild life the most, it was pleasant view to watch the birds and animals roaming around freely. The staff at the gate were very friendly and helpful. Wish I had more time to give a constructive review but went to the park for just half a day and managed to see some of the big 5 which was the purpose of my visit.

There is supermarkets for pre Kruger shopping on the road out of Malalene. Major roadworks taking place out of Malalene. Beware of trucks and drive carefully. Not recommended to drive in the dark while roadworks in place.

Pastana still remains for me the most affordable best and well managed accommodation in Malelane.
The Restuarant always meet my expectation of the wide spread of eats available.
Malelane is very easy to navigate. It has all the amenities to accommodate a travelers needs
The town is very clean .
I would avoid accommodation I have not visited before. A picture tell a thousand tales. But some can be very deceiving and uncomfortable.

Malelane town is totally unappealing.
Malelane town is totally unappealing. The only reason for staying in the suburb we stayed in was a) it is outside the town and b) is close to the Kruger Park entrance. We stayed in Mhlathikop suburb, which is nice and can be recommended.

Trying to find a contact person with regards to the booking is impossible.
Sometimes in real life, things happen totally out of your control like COVID that was a world wide epidemic and how do a person handle a situation like this?
I just had no contact number from Booking.com to assist us and lost the money. This will make me think twice next time I want accommodation

.The self catering unit had everything I needed. The unit was spotless and cleaned daily. I liked the view of the dam and the mountains from my unit. Reception was friendly and helpful always (engaged with Letta). The checking in and checking out was seemless. Thank you Letta for organising Almond milk for me; highly appreciated as adhering to a vegan diet can be tricky in foreign town. Thank you Jimmy for the game drive at Kruger National Park; the experience was priceless.
We were pleasantly surprised to see animals from the Kruger National Park across the Crocodile River as soon as we opened the patio door upon arrival!!! The view was spectacular!
It was not very busy during our stay, and the staff frequently asked if we needed anything, whenever they saw us.
We did not spend a lot of time at the premises, since we spent our time in the Kruger Park.
Appreciated the aircon in the room after a long, hot day!
The location is calming and surreal. The staff is amazing. The food is beautiful and tasty. The Chalets are lovely with a large bath and shower and a 270 degree view from the big bed. Restaurant area is wonderful with a bar, pool and lovely seating. We spotted buck, giraffes, butterflies, monkeys and more within the property. Kruger National Park Malelane gate is about 10 mins away excluding the time to drive the dirt road.
It was conveniently located near the entrance to Kruger National Park. It has very nice views of the river and even of the park across the river (with seating on a high balcony/patio), where you can view wild animals in the park. They offer half-board options. They were very accommodating to us, as we arrived very late (due to a punctured tire), leaving dinner covered on the table and waiting up for us.
Overnighted at Mhlati Cottages before entering Kruger National Park during December. Very impressed with the service, stay and the location of the Mhlati cottages only a stone throw away from the Malelane gate. Ideally located and equipped for anyone that would like to travel into Kruger as a day visitor or as a overnight stop before entering. The breakfast offered was also excellent.
Amazing location, right on the river watching Kruger and the animals around (crocodiles, elephants, Kudus, birds). Beatiful place, with a nice pool and a vast grass place and spots to sit with a glass of wine watching the river and animals.
Intimate room with a nice porch and a fire place that they light in the evening. The morning tour was amazing!
Gideon was a great help. We stayed here for one night before entering Kruger early the following morning. He was more than happy to be woken up at 5am to open the gate for us to take the car and be first in line at the Malelane Gate of Kruger. Room is basic but has everything you need for a short stay; air-con, TV, mini fridge and tea/coffee station.
The location very convenient for Kruger National Park, the rooms were large and comfortable, and the kitchen was well-stocked for cooking, and the shared living area was very comfy. There was a nice deck area and access to a backyard garden. The provided homegrown lemons and passion fruit were great. Loadsheeding was barely noticeable.
No breakfast supplied but but there are places close by to buy it as mentioned. The place is close to most shops/ mall. Rooms are big enough. Very friendly staff. The Kruger National park gate not far off but book in advance to avoid disappointment or you will be returned at the gate. I also liked their swimming pool and braai place.
Location is great next to the river you can see the animals from your balcony and from the eating / viewing area.
The venue has a generator so there is always electricity & the aircon's work (needed)
Rooms are comfortable and have all the basics it's not a city hotel but everything was provided to keep the guest happy

Great location and close to Malelane Gate for Kruger National Park. close to shopping centres to get what ever you need. rooms are all air conditioned.
Awesome facilities especially if you have kids with two pools and a bar area. Amazing view of the river and Kruger National Park.
Place of passage in a quiet position not too far from Kruger's Malelane gate. The property offers everything you need. The room is clean and with enough space. Breakfast not included, however not too expensive and very good. Parking space inside the structure.
The staff were really good, very friendly and pleasant. They went out of their way to assist and be helpful.The location was great, very accecable to the Malelane gate. The breakfasts and meals in general were consistently good.
We loved our stay. We saw hippo, crocodile, impala, elephant, warthog, waterbuck across the Crocodile River in Kruger all from the deck. Enjoyed swimming in the pool and delicious breakfasts!
It is on the crocodile river, very close to the Kruger park gate. 5 mins drive. I can spend the whole day on the hotel deck for finding animals. There is always some surprise
