Our family of 3 stayed at the Casterbridge Hollow over the Easter weekend. Reservation experience: Took 3-4 phone calls before finalised Rooms: Stayed in a family room - spacious and very well-equiped. RIght above the outside of the reception area and very, very noisy. Guests returning late at night and buses leaving early in the morning, people takling constantly. Bathroom... More

We stayed at the Casterbridge hotel in March '13 for my brother's wedding. The rooms were clean, comfortable and spacious. The staff were friendly, in particular, Precious. She was always ready with a smile and happy to help with anything. The swimming pool was right outside our room and beautifully clean. The grounds were well kept. With an array of... More

Easy to book online, and a great solid option in White River. Charming rooms with a slight farm/ industrial feel. Large rooms with an amazing pool in the centre of the hotel grounds. Magnolia restaurant maybe a tad pricey for what you get and the choices a little narrow for non meat eaters. Great breakfast and very friendly staff. Fast... More

I have had occasion to visit this wonderful small hotel during job as a tour guide accompanying groups around the country. Situated in a really classy little lifestyle centre called Casterbridge, this hotel has the rooms clustered in 2 stories around a great swimming pool. Rooms are decorated in colonial style with high ceilings and treated concrete floors, separate shower... More

Recently stayed at the hotel with great expectations! We live and work in the Kruger National Park for a private company (5*, Relais & Chateau Property) so obviously had very high expectations from the 'Seasons for Africa' group, however were quite disappointed. On arrival the reception seamed 'off duty', there was someone there but it seemed like we were 'intruding'... More

Considering this is probably the most expensive 4 star hotel in the Nelspruit/White River area, we were expecting a lot more. On arrival we were ignored at reception, even though there were no other people checking in. Finally we were attended to by a scruffy staff member who did not offer any help with our luggage. The first room they... More

I stayed one night as my travel agent advised that the drive to the Kruger, Sabi Sands gate was about two hours from the airport and i would arrive too late, missing the safari drive and dinner. Given the one night cost at the lodge, The Casterbridge Hollow hotel was a nice way to relax after my flight and prepare... More

We stayed there for two nights. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Everything was great about the hotel. Our bedroom was very large, cozy, with large windows and a confortable bed. Our bedroom had direct access to the pool and, like most rooms, it was facing the pool and garden. At night, everything was very quiet. Breakfast is nice,... More
