About River House Lodge

Old-fashioned hospitality on the Crocodile River

Situated in Malelane, Mpumalanga, South Africa, at the southern edge of the Kruger Park on the Crocodile River, River House offers our guests old-fashioned hospitality with traditional South African meals, a meal of the day and regular sightings of game from the viewing deck and swimming pool. We are a gay-friendly establishment.

River House Lodge offers tranquil riverside accommodation with scenic views, comfortable rooms and warm hospitality, making it an ideal retreat for both leisure and family travellers. Set alongside the river, the lodge provides a peaceful atmosphere complemented by modern comforts and convenient on-site facilities.

Guests can choose from a variety of thoughtfully designed room types, each featuring air conditioning, a ceiling fan, Wi-Fi, a bar fridge, coffee and tea facilities, a work desk, a seating area, turn-down service and daily cleaning. Most rooms enjoy private balconies or terraces with relaxing river views, the perfect setting to unwind.

The Garden River Suite and River View Room offer queen or twin beds, with en-suite bathrooms fitted with showers, quality amenities and soft towels. The Luxury Panorama Suite elevates the experience with spacious interiors and an en-suite bathroom with a separate bath and shower, ideal for a more indulgent stay.
