Private Nice braai area Swimming pool

Everything was great, we really had a great time as a family and fully enjoyed the game drive, food from the restaurant was great and the room were proper including the bathroom

clearly it is well maintained

1. The location was ideal for our wishes: we wanted to be on a large game property (NOT including the Big 5!) with access by normal 2WD car, where we could walk safely in the bush with our friends to our heart's content. 2. Our Riverside Cottage had 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, with an equipped kitchen and inside and shady outside dining areas as well as comfortable inside and outside seating areas. There were two more bedrooms in the garden with en-suite bathrooms -all this was perfect and comfortable for the size of our group. 3. We were initially a little disappointed that some dedicated walking paths had not yet been cleared post-Covid. This disappointment disappeared when we discovered how many quiet 4x4 tracks there were on the property -these paths were ideal for walking and we met almost no vehicles on them. 4. The facility to pre-order cooked meals from the property's kitchen was ideal for the days on which we didn't want to cook. The food was good value for money and tasty, with generous portions. 5. We had a celebration while we were there. The staff went to great lengths to put together an exceptional meal for our group and served this in a spectacular location! Obviously we paid extra for this special meal. 6. We were provided with a walkie-talkie connection to the main office. Staff was available and most helpful when we called. 7. The extra-cost activities (a tree identification walk and a game drive in our case) were good value and expertly carried out. 8..We were very happy with our stay and would recommend Palala River Cottages to all who wish to enjoy a comfortable, remote retreat at good value for money.
