Why you should stay at Tatenda Guesthouse.
I received a very warm welcome from Brian and Gerda and they went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable and to attend to my needs. Parking was on site and there is very good security. Very warming and pleasing decor and the rooms are very comfortable.

Inconvenient
It was the worst experience ever, there was no power and it's a self catering Lodge. And then the water ran out before we could shower.The only thing amazing is the staff!!

Great secured location
We stayed 4 nights & had good breakfast. Staff was very friendly & helpful. Christel was awesome giving us tips where to go & see in the area & outside her area. We did the Elephant Santuary which was very informative. Did the Panorama route & stopped at Graskop had lunch at a Portuguese restaurant. Very good. Our stay in Hazyview was great & Christel & staff were wonderful. Outside premises was very beautiful. Highly recommend.

EXCELLENT Service and Great Bed & Breakfast
This was probably one of the best hotel stays I ever experienced, thanks to the hospitality of Christel. She warmly greeted us with a smile and hug and was so absolutely inviting. Her energy was infectious and put me in a good mood the whole trip through. Christel was very helpful in giving us her recommendations and helping us navigate around the area. Her team was also good with housekeeping and leaving us bottled water and snacks throughout our stay there. The rooms were clean and comfortable and we even had our own private access from the back! They use the common South African adapter there, but if you unplug one of the lamps, it does give you access to a European adapter for your convenience. I had no issues charging my American devices. There was a refrigerator, free parking, free Wi-Fi, and all the amenities you need for a comfortable and wonderful stay. Best hotel stay ever!

klein paradijsje
we hadden wat problemen mashutti te vinden (bord betekende niet "na 8 km rechts" maar "ga rechts en rij 8 km", maar toen we er waren kwamen we geheel tot rust. mooi uitzicht, goed eten, goed personeel, lekker ontbijt. het bed was wel vrij kort (terwijl wij voor nederlanders niet lang zijn).

Nice hotel, near Kruger's gates
I stayed with my family in Tatenda's Guest House, in an apartment with two bedrooms, large living room with equipped kitchen and veranda. There's a garage avaiable. The hotel is near three Kruger National Park's gates. Next to the hotel there's a food court with some restaurants and snack bars, and also a supermarket. The staff was very kind and attentive, they even brought some cupcakes and breads in our room, for breakfast.

Ideal um auf einer Südafrikarundreise ein wenig zu entspannen
Super freundliche Mitarbeiter, die uns gute Hinweise zu den Möglichkeiten vor Ort gegeben haben. Die Empfehlungen haben alle gehalten, was versprochen wurde, egal ob Bootstour, Turtletour, die Restaurants oder die besten Strände. Das Hotel ist sehr gepflegt. Es ist ein super Ausgangspunkt für sämtliche Aktivitäten, die in St. Lucia angeboten werden.
