It's like staying with good old friends. It is a lovely, clean and safe place by the river with beautiful birds and hippos. Johan and Chané go out of their way to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Thank you very much for that.

Dit is verblyf soos by goeie ou vriende. Dit is 'n lieflike, skoon en veilige plek teen die rivier met mooi voëls en seekoeie. Johan en Chané gaan uit hul pad om jou verblyf so aangenaam as moontlik te maak. Baie dankie daarvoor.

What an incredible experience. So beautiful, neat and the hippos did not disappoint. We had a wonderful stay!

Wat 'n ongelooflike ervaring. So mooi, netjies en die seekoeie het nie teleurgestel. Ons het heerlik gebly!

Friendly, Lowveld warmth, hospitality and service. Johan and his wife have a difficult job and probably don't sleep much. Their place makes people feel like it's a place to relax and socialize, especially at the cash bar and lapa. And that's what happens late into the night. Luckily, the place to sleep is within walking distance of the cash bar for mom and kids. But what a nice place in the Lowveld to go and relax for a weekend for the whole family. Clean, lovely chalets on the river with everything you need. We'll definitely be back.

Vriendelike, Laeveldse warmte, gasvryheid en diens. Johan en gade het 'n moeilike werk en hulle slaap waarskynlik min. Hulle plek laat die mense voel dis 'n plek om te ontspan en kuier, veral by die kontantkroeg en lapa. En dit gebeur werklik ook so tot laat in die nag. Gelukkig is die slaapplek binne loopafstand van die kontantkroeg vir ma en kinders. Maar wat 'n lekker plek in die Laeveld om te gaan ontspan vir 'n naweek vir die hele gesin. Skoon, lieflike chalets op die rivier met alles wat jy benodig. Ons gaan definitief weer 'n draai maak.

Cheap, beautiful, friendly. Our stay was absolutely wonderful. Friendly staff, great food and beautiful scenery on the bank of the Crocodile River. There are 9 hippos that love to play and pose in the water. Thank you to Stephanie for making our stay so wonderful!

Hippo Waterfront Lodge is a very pleasant place. Quiet, ideal for a getaway. It was a pleasant stay for the weekend. Will definitely go again.

Hippo Waterfront Lodge is 'n baie aangename plekkie. Stil, ideaal vir 'n wegbreek. Dit was 'n aangename verblyf vir die naweek. Sal vir seker weer gaan.

Friendly, nature, hippos, fun. With friendly service and relatively undisturbed nature, it is a very good place to stay.

Vriendelik, natuur, seekoeie, lekker kuier. Met vriendelike diens en redelike onversteurde natuur is die 'n baie goeie blyplekkie.

It was a wonderful overnight stay. Wish we could have stayed longer. It was clean and tidy and the hosts were fantastic and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Dit was 'n wonderlike oornag rus. Wens ons kon langer bly. Dit was skoon en netjies en die gashere fantasties en vriendelik. Sal definitief aanbeveel.

A beautiful, peaceful place where you should stay for at least 2 days. The 2-bedroom wooden house was basic with everything you need. The porch was the kitchen and lounge with a lovely view of the river. A lovely peaceful place. Beautiful lawns, bar with beautiful views. The management of the place was exceptionally friendly and hospitable. One night is too little.

'n Pragtige, rustige plek waar jy ten minste 2 dae moet oorbly. Die 2-slaapkamer hout huisie was basies met alles wat jy nodig het. Die stoep was die kombuis en kuierplek met 'n lieflike uitsig oor die rivier. 'n Heerlike rustige plek. Pragtige grasperke, kroeg met pragtige uitsig. Die plek se bestuur was besonder vriendelik en gasvry. Een nag is te min.
