Words or pictures can not describe the feelings that this place makes you feel. It is amazing. After traveling across SA as a family, this is the only place that our youngest cried when we left and asked the entire way to Joburg to go back and live there forever. Thanks! You're doing awesome

Nothing - one should be aware though that it is quite secluded

Very spacious and nicely furnished. We particularly enjoyed the proximity to the Kruger Gate and the friendliness of the staff

Absolutely nothing.

This place is amazing. The rooms are laid out perfectly. The dining kitchen sitting area is super comfortable. The picture quite honestly don’t do it justice. The entire experience of our villa and the park were magical. We saw everything on our wish list. And nothing disappointed

Nothing

Excellent location, very clean and comfortable and close to the park entrance

Stayed in August 2023

Very top shelf in the kitchen was dusty and could do with a clean but otherwise all was good.

Lovely spacious villa, well kitted out unit in the heart of the bush, staff that greeted us on arrival were lovely and the unit met all our needs and expectations for our trip, it is also close to the park gate and use of the facilities at the nearby hotel is nice as well.

We didn’t have hot water. The staff arrived immediately when we reported it and a temporary fix was made, but sadly it only lasted for 1 person to shower. That considering, our stay was still fantastic!

The property is stunning! Beautiful sunsets can be viewed from the verandah

if they had a pool or Jaqueze so we didn't have to go to the hotel as we were told they don't have to accommodate us since we only booked at Mananga and not the hotel itself. The roof pops every now and then making it uncomfortable to sleep. They should provide people with firewood, not expect us to bring our own as it was not specified that we needed to bring our own.

it's a self-catering place, fully equipped kitchen. it's close to Kruger gate but going into the villa requires a 4x4 car. its well-placed and peaceful with nice sun rise views and spacious. it's worth coming back to.

A small amount of firewood could have been provided for the fire pit but everything else was perfect. would highly recommend to friends and family.

Beautiful, private property. very well equipped for self catering and very close to the Paul Kruger gate.

The access gravel road was washed out by rains and it was a challenge to reach villa. We had SUV so we managed, but it would be very difficult with regular car.

Nice spacious and cozy villa with great yard view and nature around. Being next to Kruger park gate is easy to drive for safari.

Stayed in February 2023

we had lights on and patio doors open the first night, surprised how many insects we invited inside! and how many banged against windows all night. some fabulously large spiders living inside too. so just a warning to guests - keep most lights off when you can to minimise insect encounters! also - reasonably difficult to find, as we had no instructions beyond the gate to the main hotel. suggest you provide a bit more instruction on where to turn and how far from main entrance gate, and also that it is a poorly maintained dirt road than may not suit many vehicles - we had a sedan which bottomed out quite badly with some of the ruts in the road.

huge villa, lovely facility

Stayed in November 2022

There were too many bugs at night. They were attracted to the light so we switched off the outside light and this helped to keep them away. Philemon was very kind and cleaned out all the insects in the morning.

It was a fabulous stay. Very comfortable with all the luxuries that is needed to make for a great stay. The rooms were spacious neat and clean. There was an ice maker which was really good for the hot weather. It is near the Kruger gate hotel and this allowed us to have some of our meals at the hotel. Very near to the entrance of the park.

Check in and check out was very easy. It was allowed to use the pool of the hotel close by and it was for free which was stunning because of the infinity pool towards the national park.

Loved the animals coming through, the quite evenings with a fire are magical

Stayed in June 2022

It is a little bumpy road to get to the villa, but that also adds to the experience ;-)

The Mananga villa is very comfortable, really nice to be able to use the swimming pool at the hotel and the dinner buffet for 350 rand per person (still / sparkling water included). We had an absolutely lovely stay and great that the villa is right next to the Paul Kruger gate entrance.

Stayed in May 2022

Private pool would be nice

Loved the house location , was peaceful and quiet. The house was big enough loved the fact that we were provided with free coffee and games . The bedroom view was amazing, Loved the patio setup. Loved the fact we have access to Protea hotel facilities especially the infinity pool was out of this world experience.

Stayed in October 2021

There was constant creaking in the roof probably from expansion and contraction. Spoilt sleep at times.

Location was very accessible to the Kruger National Park which we wanted to visit

Stayed in September 2021

Power tripped after one night for no reason, and aircons stopped working properly. In that heat it made things very uncomfortable. In addition, I asked booking. com for a place to stay within the boundaries of the Kruger national park, when doing a search, how great my disappointment when found not to be so, after paying quite a sum of money.

Self-catering

Stayed in December 2023

The roof is very noisy, especially at night, the wifi isn't good, the ceiling fans didn't work very well, unable to use the TV whatsoever, the unit is very secluded.

The kitchen is very well equipped and it's very spacious. We weren't affected by loadshedding.
