Reviews of Rixile Kruger Lodge

Lovely location, save, luxurious, clean, very close to Kruger Gate. All in all very beautiful place to stay.

Our stay was absolutely exceptional! The accommodation exceeded all expectations: spotless, comfortable, well-equipped, and with thoughtful details that truly made a difference. A real haven where you feel welcomed and cared for from the very first moment. Clinton was a 5-star host — always available, friendly, and incredibly attentive. He made us feel at home and ensured everything went perfectly during our stay. There is absolutely nothing negative to say. We will definitely be coming back! If I could I would give more stars !

The space is beautifully decorated and kitchen is well equipped. The rooms smelled lovely and were very comfortable. There's many places to sit and enjoy the outdoors. Loved the boma and veranda. Loved waking up to a beautiful safari sunrise

We had to go to our rooms for the loo, would have been easier if there was one close to the living areas.

Everything was great! Great service and concern for clients!

The house is amazing.Love the design and plan. Showering out door was just awesome. The Kruger Gate is just 5 mins away.

No walking trails.in the Estate.

Location (about 2k from the Kruger Gate), decor, facilities, shower, friendly, cleanliness.

Beautiful cottage in the bush, very tastefully furnished to a very high standard. The location is fantastic both proximity to the Kruger Park and to the Kruger Gate Hotel. Great birdlife and buck appearing from the bush occasionally. The host couldn’t have been friendlier and more welcoming. You can see a lot of thought and care has gone into this property. A highlight of our stay in the area! Will definitely go back !

Nothing !

Clinton and his team went well beyond expectations to make our stay enjoyable. Their attention to detail made our stay even better than expected.

We spent a few days at Rixile Kruger Lodge as a family, and it was easily one of our most memorable holidays. The lodge is right at the gate of Kruger National Park—literally a short walk away—so we could drive in the moment the park opened. That gave us a real edge. We saw almost every animal and bird imaginable, including rare sightings of leopard, cheetah, lions, hyena—and we even got charged at by two elephants! The early morning drives were the best, and being so close to the gate meant we were always among the first in. You can tell a lot of care went into the design of Rixile. The outdoor braai area, the pool, and the way you can throw open the sliding doors to create a seamless flow between the indoors and the extended patio—it gives you the feeling of being right in the middle of the bush, with all the comforts you could ask for. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, and we loved that there were both indoor and outdoor showers. If you're not keen on cooking, you can stroll to Kruger Lodge for meals. Firewood was stocked daily for the braai and fire pit, and our best conversations happened around that fire in the evenings. We were a mixed group—our kids visiting from the UK, our son working in Joburg, and our nephew from university. It’s not easy to find a place that suits everyone, but this one really did. Clinton was excellent from start to finish. He waited for us after dark when we arrived late, gave clear directions, and checked in on us every day to make sure we were okay. His care and attention were deeply appreciated. Highly recommend Rixile to anyone looking for a peaceful, stylish base for exploring Kruger. We’ll definitely be back.

There really wasn’t anything we didn’t like. Everything from the location, design, and cleanliness to the service and thoughtful touches was spot on. If we had to say something, it’s that we wished we had stayed longer!

Everything. Exceptional property. Incredible location. Fabulous host. A true 10 out of 10.

Nothing. Hard to critique. It was perfection.

We had a wonderful time. The villa is beautiful and totally emerged with nature. The kitchen is very well stocked, and the ice machine a bonus! We loved the boma braai! Clint was very attentive to every need, amazing client care!

Everything about this cottage was exceptional, located very close to Kruger Gate, accessibility was easy. Private, which we enjoyed the most, the cottage was clean need and modern with all the amenities one require for a longer stay away from home. Clint was excellent always checking if we are satisfied or need anything. We are definitely going back there for second trip to the Kruger National Park

It was out in the bush and one with nature.
