What guests think

Rissington Inn draws consistent praise for its peaceful setting near Kruger, friendly staff, and excellent food, with many guests using it as a relaxing base for safaris and the Panorama Route while enjoying tidy rooms and well kept grounds.

We have stayed several times at Rissington inn, over many years and have always enjoyed its peaceful and charming nature. We really enjoyed our stay this year but felt that the decor was beginning to look a little tired. The staff,as always,were delightful and the pool and grounds were immaculate.

O quarto estava impecável! A recepção de boas-vindas foi demais (vinho e café de cápsula, com biscoitos - conquista qualquer taurino). Uma pena o GPS estar errado e eu ter errado o local do hotel em 70km, o que atrasou minha chegada e para aproveitar a estadia, notadamente porque no dia seguinte, cedo, estava saindo para fazer safári. O hotel é bonito, o quarto bem cuidado e limpo, com uma vista deslumbrante (isso que estava chovendo). Adorei e voltarei a me hospedar (inclusive já indiquei o hotel para um casal de amigos).

The stay was pleasant from the time we entered the main gate right through to being received warmly at reception, we were offered cold lemonade to cool us down. The lady(mother to the twins, sorry i forgot her name)that attended to us was very kind and patient with us. We were ushered to our cottage and given all necessary information. Lovely place, squeaky clean, extremely comfortable and feels homely.

Have stayed here many many times over the years, always on our way to the Kruger National Park and sometimes on our way out. I would very highly recommend staying here. It has very nice and easy, peaceful and relaxing feel about the place. Just the job to unwind after a long journey. The staff are always some of the best attentive staff that you will wish to find anywhere. Always a 10 out of 10 from me and the wife
