The view was amazing. From the first minute we arrived, we could spot hippos, elephant, warthogs, or waterbuck on the river bank. The customer service was very friendly and helpful. The room is basic and matched the pictures - no surprises. It was cleaned daily with towels and water resupplied. Wifi was good and even worked on the terrace.

Kruger Southern Cross, hotel in Malelane

Providing a garden, Kruger Southern Cross provides accommodations in Malelane. The air-conditioned accommodation is 3.4 miles from Leopard Creek Country Club.

I had great deal on this property but it got even better when we arrived and met the lovely host Sandi. She's so warm and friendly she made us feel at right at home. Sandi was even nice enough to share her cooking oil. Although the property itself is great, the greatest asset they have is the host. Thank you Sandi and keep up doing the good work.

    Malelane is very beautiful and easy to get around.

    Malelane is very beautiful and easy to get around. I loved the wild life the most, it was pleasant view to watch the birds and animals roaming around freely. The staff at the gate were very friendly and helpful. Wish I had more time to give a constructive review but went to the park for just half a day and managed to see some of the big 5 which was the purpose of my visit.

    There is supermarkets for pre Kruger shopping on the road out of Malalene. Major roadworks taking place out of Malalene. Beware of trucks and drive carefully. Not recommended to drive in the dark while roadworks in place.

    Pastana still remains for me the most affordable best and well managed accommodation in Malelane. The Restuarant always meet my expectation of the wide spread of eats available. Malelane is very easy to navigate. It has all the amenities to accommodate a travelers needs The town is very clean . I would avoid accommodation I have not visited before. A picture tell a thousand tales. But some can be very deceiving and uncomfortable.

    Malelane town is totally unappealing.

    Malelane town is totally unappealing. The only reason for staying in the suburb we stayed in was a) it is outside the town and b) is close to the Kruger Park entrance. We stayed in Mhlathikop suburb, which is nice and can be recommended.

    Trying to find a contact person with regards to the booking is impossible. Sometimes in real life, things happen totally out of your control like COVID that was a world wide epidemic and how do a person handle a situation like this? I just had no contact number from Booking.com to assist us and lost the money. This will make me think twice next time I want accommodation Judy 082 335 6423

    .The self catering unit had everything I needed. The unit was spotless and cleaned daily. I liked the view of the dam and the mountains from my unit. Reception was friendly and helpful always (engaged with Letta). The checking in and checking out was seemless. Thank you Letta for organising Almond milk for me; highly appreciated as adhering to a vegan diet can be tricky in foreign town. Thank you Jimmy for the game drive at Kruger National Park; the experience was priceless.

    The hotel is quite delightful, with the proprietors ensuring we felt thoroughly at home, consistently enquiring after our well-being. Both dinner and breakfast were splendid. The rooms are charming, affording us a splendid view of Kruger Park, alongside the river teeming with various animals. This stands as one of the finest services I have ever experienced. The staff were exceedingly courteous and always greeted us with a smile.

    The location is calming and surreal. The staff is amazing. The food is beautiful and tasty. The Chalets are lovely with a large bath and shower and a 270 degree view from the big bed. Restaurant area is wonderful with a bar, pool and lovely seating. We spotted buck, giraffes, butterflies, monkeys and more within the property. Kruger National Park Malelane gate is about 10 mins away excluding the time to drive the dirt road.

    The location very convenient for Kruger National Park, the rooms were large and comfortable, and the kitchen was well-stocked for cooking, and the shared living area was very comfy. There was a nice deck area and access to a backyard garden. The provided homegrown lemons and passion fruit were great. Loadsheeding was barely noticeable.

    No breakfast supplied but but there are places close by to buy it as mentioned. The place is close to most shops/ mall. Rooms are big enough. Very friendly staff. The Kruger National park gate not far off but book in advance to avoid disappointment or you will be returned at the gate. I also liked their swimming pool and braai place.

    Amazing place on the bank of Crocodile river. Very close to Malelane gate. You however do not need to enter Kruger, you can just relax on the patio and watch the animals in Kruger Park just across the river. Jabu is a great hostess.

    I was attracted to the location of this property next to the Crocodile River and also close to the Malelane Gate of the Kruger Park. The sighting of crocodiles, hippos, impala and a leopard added to the overall experience.
