Would have stayed longer.
The owners very friendly and we spent sometime talking to them. Location is very good and is within a hour and a half to get to the Krugrer park gates. We olny had one night as we were in transit , but would have stayed longer if we had had the time. We will be staying again next year ( vacancies available )

A memorable stay!
We enjoyed very much our stay at the White House Lodge. Suzann and her husband are amazing hosts! The meals were delicious and with generous portions. The room was cozy and clean. With a view on the valley, you cannot beat the scenery, especially at sunrise!

Spacious and great views
Rooms were spacious and clean. Fantastic pool area with outdoor lounge with an African feel. As we were the only guests in this lodge we became spoilt by being able to use all facilities by ourselves such as enjoying the view over beautiful orchards of fruit trees from the hammock on the cliff. Great service. Entrance driveway needs improvements.

The location of the house is beautiful. It overlooks a tranquil valley and is designed to make the most of the location. The front of the house is open with a view of the valley and there is a large veranda in the front of the house as well. The common area has 24 hour tea and coffee and a well stocked honor bar. The staff was friendly and very helpful. I hope to stay there again soon!

Beautiful and relaxing lodging near Kruger Park
I should start by saying that this is an outstanding property that represents exceptional value for money. I stayed with my family at the White House Lodge for a night both before and after visiting the Kruger National Park. I selected the Lodge for its convenient location and based on reviews I'd read. On our first visit, we stayed in the main building and on our second visit we were in our own small self-contained house. Both visits were brilliant.. The Lodge is set in peaceful surroundings that afford stunning views over the local area. There is a lovely pool which is set in beautifully kept gardens. The rooms are immaculate and well appointed and throughout the property, the owners have added superb little touches that help make this property such a gem. There are some excellent restaurants nearby and for those that wish to shop, there is a good mall about 15 minutes drive from the property. The owners are welcoming and helpful and their professionalism and courtesy cannot be faulted. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I would highly recommend this property. My only regret is that we did not stay longer. I nearly forgot, the breakfast is awesome.

One of the best places i have stayed at . Room was spacious , well equipped , clean and the shower was fantastic. Service was really good , without being intrusive at all . The little extras , like the muffins , biscuits and fruit , as well as quality coffee available in the common area are a nice touch .
