Für die Durchfahrt war die Bleibe genügend.

Von der Unterkunft zum Restaurant war es sehr schlecht beleuchtet und mit Hundegebell war der Empfang. Mittelmässiges Abendessen (war im Preis inbegriffen), dito Frühstück.

Probablement très bien mais à éviter le dimanche

Notre seule déception du voyage alors qu'il s'agissait pourtant de l'hôtel le plus cher ! Malheureusement le restaurant de l'hôtel est fermé le dimanche, Magda nous a donné de l'argent pour compenser mais nous n'avions pas prévu que les premiers restaurants soient aussi loin ! Heureusement que nous nous sommes manifesté pour le petit déjeuner car (restaurant fermé oblige) nous ne pouvions pas être servi avant 7h ce qui n'allait pas comme nous souhaitions aller au parc le plus tôt possible. Là aussi Magda nous a proposé un remboursement. Pour la propreté, l'ensemble était correct, 2 choses tout de même : - de l'eau croupie au fond de la bouilloire electrique - la baignoire qui donnait un aspect jaunatre à l'eau du bain que nous avons voulu prendre Bref probablement un logement très bien en semaine mais nous avions un peu l'impression d'être les premiers.à réserver un dimanche soir !! Points positifs : la disponibilité de Magda et l'emplacement proche de 2 entrées au Kruger

Nagana-banana

This is situated in the midst of a banana field with the most stunning views we have seen from anywhere. Hosts are very gracious. Wifi is very limited. We had a torrential rainstorm and power outage during our stay which was very exciting but would be very challenging for some

Nabana is a recommended stay!

We had a lovely stay, Magda is a very gracious host and informative about the area. It was private and peaceful! We missed a better television set and a little fridge & table to keep our food cold and prepare sandwiches.

Relaxing and pleasant stay!

Great spot to go and relax. It`s peaceful and quiet, and surrounded with Banana farms. It`s a couple of km out of town. For the units you have a great view. The owner are very friendly and helpful. You can enjoy a great breakfast at the restaurant, the owner there are also very friendly and great to have a chat with. Also go for a drink at Abie`s Pub, and to go have a go at hitting some golf balls! Overall a great stay, i will return soon!

A great base camp

Excellent place. Owner (Magda) kind and curtious, and goes above and beyond to make us comfortable (including lending me her personal computer). Place is lovely and well kept. Rooms are nice, clean and spacious. Restaurant is good for both breakfast and dinner. Location excellent for all local activities including Kruger, Induna adventures, and many more). Private ssfari tours wil take and drop at location.
