Amazing and relaxing. Thank you for the lovely stay. My family and I really enjoyed the house — it’s beautiful and met all our expectations. We felt very comfortable and had a great time.

The house is lovely and comfortable. It is also very clean. Hans Marensky estate is currently under construction. The units rely on their own sources for electricity, so a generator runs 24/7. As a result, it may not be peaceful for a braai or a good night's sleep. However, we were not greatly bothered as we mainly needed a bed and were out most of the time. It can be misleading though. Once the electricity is sorted and the hotel is fully operational again, it will be the best place to stay. But for now, it can be a huge disappointment. I was aware beforehand that the surroundings are not in working order and I understand the situation.

House is amazingly laid out with beautiful decor. It's a pity Hans Merensky if estate looks so bad.

Huis is ongelooflik uiteengesit met pragtige dekor. Dit is jammer Hans Merensky as estate lyk so sleg.

Thank you Nico for your kind review of Hippo's Haven. I am sorry to see that the estate was disappointing. This is due to the fact that hotel and golf course have recently been sold and the new owners are in the process of major upgrades, which we very much look forward to.

Dankie Nico vir jou vriendelike resensie van Hippo's Haven. Ek is jammer om te sien dat die landgoed teleurstellend was. Dit is te wyte aan die feit dat hotel en gholfbaan onlangs verkoop is en die nuwe eienaars besig is met groot opgraderings, waarna ons baie uitsien.

Unit is neat, clean and spacious. Would definitely recommend Hippo's Haven and would definitely like to visit again in the future.

Eenheid is netjies, skoon en ruim. Sal definitief Hippo's Haven aanbeveel en sal beslis weer in die toekoms daar wil kuier.

Spacious rooms and rooms. Conveniently close to Kruger National Park. Facilities at hotel badly run down. Don't be fooled.

Ruim kamers en vertrekke. Gerieflik naby Krugerwildtuin. Geriewe by hotel erg vervalle. Moenie mislei word nie.

Breathtaking The place is a breath of fresh air, if you want that away from people feeling and being out of reach then Hippo Haven is your place, the house is something else. To Olivia, Ray and mom, thank you so much for the warm welcome, I would definitely return to Hippo Haven!

Absolutely fantastic! Wonderful comfort and privacy by the water. Nice day trip done in Kruger Wildlife Park. House is 100% equipped with much more than one needs. Nice strong WiFi. Private and secure. Highly recommended!

Absoluut fantasties! Wonderlike gemak en privaatheid langs water. Lekker dagrit gedoen in Kruger Wildtuin. Huis is 100% toegerus met baie meer as wat mens nodig het. Lekker sterk WiFi. Privaat en veilig. Hoogs aanbeveel!
