Nothing - it was perfect.

The location on the Crocodile River is superb. There is easy day access to the Kruger National Park. But, the most significant component of our enjoyment came from the treatment we received from the staff and manager. They were very accommodating when we asked whether they could host a family reunion dinner for 12 even though we were only travelling as a couple. The dinner and atmosphere were amazing so much so that we organised a second such event for 5 days later. Thanks to Vida Nova staff for their friendliness, professionalism and to the cook for superb breakfasts and dinners!

The pool was an interesting design. In the foyer directly next to the check in desk....you would need to squeeze past so not sure I would use it. The up selling was a little too much.

Location and could see all the animals in the river and across in Kruger including lions. Giraffes, Zebras literally walking down the road outside accommodation. Staff happy to oblige with any needs.

No TV in the room, so had to go to the communal seating area to watch tv. No DSTV.

Staff friendly and accommodating. Helpful with organizing Kruger tour. Breakfast was very good and ensured we had meals according to our dietary requirements.

The lady at the front desk was super friendly and ready to assist with all our requests. The dinner was superb. I was a little disappointed with breakfast as they didn’t have a pork substitute as requested. So essentially we had a vegetarian breakfast, would have been great if they had chicken or something.

We had a wonderful experience. The only thing I would ask for is clear signage from the road, as we lost time trying to find it and even the guys manning the gates directions were not very clear.

Our stay at Vida Nova Kruger was nothing short of incredible. The lodge is absolutely stunning—luxurious yet still perfectly in harmony with the natural beauty of Marloth Park. Waking up to the sounds of the bush and sipping coffee with a view of the Crocodile River was one of the highlights of our trip. The attention to detail at Vida Nova is impressive—from the elegant décor and spacious rooms to the exceptional hospitality from the team. Everyone was warm, professional, and made us feel truly at home. Its location is ideal: peaceful and private, yet close enough for easy access to Kruger National Park. We enjoyed both relaxing at the lodge and going on nearby game drives, knowing we had a comfortable, beautiful place to return to. If you're looking for a luxurious yet authentic bush escape, Vida Nova Kruger is the perfect choice. We left with full hearts, full tummies and unforgettable memories—can’t wait to return!

Beautiful little find close to the Kruger. My husband and I spent an incredible 3 nights at this lodge. Our room was absolutely breathtaking with a comfortable bed, huge bath and view over the river. The food was absolutely delicious, compliments to the chef. Deli is the wonderful host who will cater to your every need, she did everything to make our stay enjoyable. Thank you for an incredible stay.

Great location for this excellent well-managed lodge situated right on the Kruger fence. Watch the sunrise from the upper deck and enjoy sound downers to the calls of the wild in the evenings. Amenities were great, food delicious. Also try the on-site mountain bike rentals and ride the trails overlooking the park.

The Bed was uncomfortable and the fact that we couldn't bring in our drinks to the premises was a bit disappointing.

The staff was amazing, Deli took care of us and made sure we enjoyed our stay. Had a lovely breakfast as well.
