Stayed here two years ago as solo traveler and just had to come back this time around. First time in beautiful weather, this time in torrential downpours - but weather doesn't matter here: it's still a great little spot! Rooms are not just rooms, they have their own separate identity. Meals are not just meals, they are delicious creations of... More

We only stayed there one night but it was one of our favorite stops on our vacation in Africa. Such a cute, quaint little place and Daniela was so friendly and helpful. Great location as well as it is very close to the gates to Kruger National Park.

There was no breakfast. The manager said she will organise for us to have breakfast at 6am but there was nothing the next day at 6am and nobody around, the reception was locked and nobody inside. I tried to walk around the back of the building to find staff and I repeatedly shouted to see if anyone was there but... More

She also prepares original drinks an limoncello that are very very good. Fresh food and bread nice list of wines and the... More

I'd recommend Kaia Tani for anyone looking to visit this part of South Africa. We arrived in South Africa as the last leg of our short African adventure and were, a bit, apprehensive of what we would experience. Any concerns were eliminated on arrival. The guest house is fantastic. It's small and personal. The rooms were to the highest standard... More

The Kaia Tani is a very nice lodge directly in Phalaborwa only 5 minutes away from the gates to the Krüger National Park. This lodge is a very good alternative to the much more expensive private lodges in the park, while for most activities it is not a problem not to sleep in the park directly. Such activities like night... More

We went here with a large group of friends, 15 people, enough to occupy the whole guesthouse, for about a week. We felt at home, because Daniela and Alberto made everything it's possible to make us feeling like that. Other reviewers have talked about how much Kaia Tani is beautiful, comfortable, clean or how good are all the services, encluded... More
