    That was one of the best hotel experiences that I ever had. The place was very clean, very pretty, the room is big, there s a beautiful pool and everything you need. Butttt the food was insane. I had one of the best meal of my life at the dinner....

    We had a great stay at Makuwa! Our hosts were very friendly and helpful, food was super tasteful and we would definitely recommend to stay here be it on your way to Kruger or to visit the park since Orphen gate is only a 20min drive away.

    Lovely accommodation, spectacular setting, great hosts (Morne and Simone) and excellent food. Very convenient for access to KNP through Orpen Gate. We would have liked to have stayed longer, but will just have to come back for another visit.
