Two double bedrooms, kitchen fridge etc. Also lounge/ dining/hallway. One bathroom/ toilet. Very good shower. Small outdoor space, upper floor studio/ bedroom/ outdoor patio area, though unfurnished. Good off road parking. Secure, passcode to enter.
All clean, 2/3* level. Good air con in bedrooms.
We only used as base for 3 nights as out exploring. Would recommend. Think there’s a pool, though we didn’t explore.
Very secure. The gate code was a bit iffy sometimes.
All in all, would definitely stay again, and would recommend.
Although it may sleep 6, there is only one bathroom with the only toilet in the same bathroom.

The unit itself was clean & functional. What I disliked was I booked a unit with private pool & paid extra yet was unable to utilise the pool as it was very dirty with tissues & debris. The water & surface was also not clean. I did let them know & have followed up with a request for a refund of the extra I paid but no response over one week later…..
Our companies use Raptors Lodge very often, the 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom units are great and it is a very affordable option for us. I can highly reccommend Raptors Lodge. Rooms are absolutely fabulous
The place was beautiful and clean, situated very close to the Kruger National Park which was very convenient for us. We loved everything about our however, the the electricity went off when we tried using the stove and it took over 2 hours to get assistance which was the only downside to the stay.
We use Raptors Lodge all the time for our business trips. We also recommend them or book Raptors when we have international guests.
Units with 2 rooms and 2 bathrooms are always a bonus and fits our budget.
Clean, beautiful rooms with everything you need.
Not value for money very expensive for what you get. Dishes dirty, only 3 bowls, chipped cups, damp on walls, only 1 toilet roll for 7 people, no spare rubbish bag, no dishwasher tabs, no aircon upstairs, pictures on hotels.com were not unit 48!
The area around house 1, Was bad, for 12 Nights we where put just oposite a kindergarden, startet at 6.30 in the morning. And the had a roster which wake us every morning at 4.30! The chairs around the table at the patio, Was so dirty That we had to find a blanket to sit in. For 1 or 2 nights is ok but absoluty not for longer stay.
On a tellement apprécié notre séjour que l'on a décidé de prolonger notre séjour : ils ont alors proposé soit de déplacer le client suivant pour nous maintenir dans le même lodge, ou de nous surclasser dans un lodge avec une meilleure vue et une piscine individuelle : nous avons choisi la seconde solution !
En arrivant nous avons signalé qu'il manquait de casseroles et surtout (crime de lèse-majesté pour un français!) : pas de tire-bouchon !
Dans l'heure et en notre absence, un set de casseroles & poêles neuf nous attendait dans son carton, posé sur la cuisinière ! ... un tire-bouchons l'accompagnait: encore merci pour la réactivité !
I expected a hotel type room for 4 adults but on arrival I was surprised that we in fact had a two bedroom house. It was a well maintained property with a well stocked kitchen and good wifi. I wish we could have stayed longer.
Väldigt fint! Vi kom fram på natten och hittade först inte det andra sovrummet som visade sig vara i en helt egen stuga! Mycket bekvämt med dubbla badrum, myggnät, AC, två duschar och egen uteplats med grill. Här kan man stanna många nätter.
No hotel staff at reception when we arrived at 6PM, the key was provided to us by a local ranger.
the wifi does not work at all, we reported to the ranger that gave us the key but he could not help. he tried to call the hotel responsible but they did not really care. we could not connect to wifi at all during our stay.
The apartment was not clean at all, cobwebs in every corner.
