Guests can take a stroll along the river bank, which offers hippo and bird watching opportunities. Guided tours to major attractions can be arranged for a surcharge. The Sudwala Caves are a 30-minute drive away and Kruger National Park can be reached within 1 hour by car.

Mozambique“Location, peaceful river views, relaxed atmosphere”
Louis Mozambique“Had a great stay, secluded yet not too far away from the city, making it the perfect spot for the nature lover and the city freaks. Staff made us feel right at home from the get-go. There's nothing to fault here. Can't wait for our next visit”
