Our second visit for a stopover before entering Kruger. After a gap of a few years exactly the same welcome and service from the owner. Very pleasant grounds and facilities, secure parking, nice pool and garden. Spacious setting and large family room. All the features you need for a comfortable stay. It would actually make a very nice base for a longer stay. Owner is on hand to give dining recommendations and help with whatever you need. So nice.. good value. Good breakfast.

The Sunbird lodge is a very cozy facility surrounded by greenery. Situated in a great location, very close to the center of Phalaborwa, but especially very close to the Kruger entrance gate (10 minutes by car). Large, clean and quiet room. Excellent and plentiful breakfast. The added value, however, is the fantastic Dave, who gave us so many useful tips and answered all our requests. Highly recommended!

Breakfast was very good. The host was more than just accommodating as there was a power outage in the facility’s local area. He arranged for us to stay at another venue which had power. So we ended up sleeping elsewhere but returned for breakfast

Power outage which compromised our stay

Dave and his wife are extremely helpful, they really do go out of their way to assist. Management enjoyed their stay and all the feedback received was positive. Will make use of your services again.

Everyone enjoyed their stay, there was no complaints or negative feedback

The breakfast was good both in quality and quantity. The accommodation cottages are comfortable and spotlessly clean. There is a large, well-kept swimming pool and a spacious garden.

Some of the paintwork on the accommodation cottages needs attention.

Breakfast was perfect and nice part is that it is not far from restaurants. Dave is such a nice person. Very welcoming and makes you feel at home.

There is absolutely nothing. I would recommend it to anyone and I would book again when I visit Phalaborwa

Very nice place, close to the Phalaborwa gate. The host Dave makes sure you have everything you need and is more than happy to share some tips and tricks when going to Kruger, which was exactly what we needed. Thank you again! We had a great time!
