Met with lovely cold drink on arrival. Upgraded to "honeymoon" room which overlooked the garden. Had the set meal on the verandah in the evening which was exceptional value for money and delicious too! Looked out over zebras and impalas grazing on the lawn! Pool was small but great for a dip. Drove to the dam and the lake -... More

During a recent visit to the Kruger National we stayed at this lodge for one night. The lodge is situated in a botanical reserve within the canyon and the setting is absolutely stunning. The Lodge is a beautiful thatched building. We upgraded to the honeymoon suite because the room was offered and was apparently bigger than the standard rooms. The... More

Beautiful surroundings and a great base for going into Kruger. Zebras, wildebeest and monkeys roam around and the reception and deck areas are well presented. Rooms are a little lacklustre and bathrooms quite dated but was comfy and quiet. Dinner was good (if served a little speedily at 7pm!) and breakfast was very generous. Only complaint was that the staff... More

The Lodge is within easy reach of Hoedspruit Airport and a very good place to relax and recover from your journey. If you do not wish to venture out in the evening we found the meals excellent. There are a variety of animals to be seen in the garden and a lovely pool. Viki and her staff make you very... More

Our visit to this lodge was a wonderful experience. The food was scrumptious. Viki and her team make the lodge a home from home. Once you step through the doors you are part of the family. Well maintained with beautiful trees and definately worth a visit. We look forward to returning in the not too distant future. More

I chose this lodge as it was in the Blyde River Canyon area and showed 4 star rating on their website. I also chose this lodge because of the favourable feedback from tripadvisor. I was disappointed. This not a 4 star establishment. I would grade it as a 3 star. The double room leading onto the patio had a pleasant... More

We stopped at Blyde River Canyon Lodge for two nights as a break between a stay at Mala Mala and our next stop at Letaba in Kruger National Park for a few nights. From the minute we arrived, we felt like we were the lodge's only guests (we later found out that this is how the Lodge team treats all... More

We stayed in the Blyde River Canyon Lodge for one night during our travel to the Krueger National Park. The Lodge is beautifully located in a huge botanical reserve where you have wild animal roaming around. The rooms are ok and nice but nothing special. Dinner was very nice and really tasty in a nice atmosphere on the veranda where... More

we needed a place for only 1 night as a last minute stay over. We came across Blyde River Canyon Lodge, and wish we stayed another night. Great property, scenic location, and the food was excellent. More
