I stayed here for a night on a business trip to the Hazyview area. While it's off the beaten path, it is its own oasis of peace and quiet. If you're expecting a swanky, flashy hotel, you're not going to find all that superficial gloss at this lodge. Its a simple, down-to-earth venue with a distinct sense of style and... More

This is the first place that we stayed after our overnight flight into Johannesburg. The rooms were comfortable and very clean and the staff friendly. We ate in the restaurant on site and had a good meal including steak and lemon sole. My mother and I really enjoyed our walk down to the Sabie river from the lodge the following... More

Nice place, beds are good and breakfast ok. Rooms are noisy. We could literally folliow the discussion in the adjecent room. Price was 50% too high.

The staff were friendly, provided a bagged breakfast (so-so ham and cheese sandwiches, a hard boiled egg, yoghurt, fruit and a juice box) that we could take with us on our safari, knocked on... More

This hotel was very nice! It had a small swimmingpool, a nice buffet and the area was secured. We had a nice & clean room, the staff was nice, the food was good and it was close to the Kruger gate. Next time we'll stay here again!

Better late than never - we stayed in the Gecko Lodge when in South Africa in Oct 2009. The Lodge is a large complex with spacious rooms circling a central garden area with a river/water feature that runs throughout the estate. We stayed at the Gecko Lodge for two nights. Being October it hadn't quite reached towering heights of heat... More
