Guest Impressions
Rissington Inn
"We (my spouse and our two daughters) stopped at the Rissington Inn for only one night on our way back to Johannesburg after visiting Kruger. If we would have know that the hotel had so much charm and was located in such a peaceful area we would have certainly stayed longer. The hotel is the perfect place to relax thanks to its calm, the quality of its restaurant and the very helpful staff. Great place."
- Joachim from France.
ideale Basis für den Krüger-Park
"das Rissington liegt unmittelbar am Krüger-Park und ist deshalb sehr zu empfehlen. prima Essen im Restaurant, sehr nettes Personal, Lunchpaket anstatt Frühstück erhalten - toll the Rissington located directly next to the Kruger Park and is therefore highly recommended. get great food in the restaurant, very nice staff, packed lunch instead of breakfast - great"
- Uwe Knöchel from Germany

"Rissington Inn is an affordable, award-winning lodge set in 20ha of bush with broad views over the Sabie River Valley, just 10 minutes from the Kruger National Park. Friendly, relaxed and informal, it's an ideal stopover and base from which to explore the Panorama Route, Kruger Park and a host of adventure activities nearby. Charming bedrooms have fridges, air-conditioning, private entrances and verandahs with views down the valley. Vibrant gardens deliver a sublime backdrop, best admired from the hammocks and day beds of the spacious, airy Garden Rooms and Hillside Suites. The à la carte restaurant serves delicious meals, and the convivial bar the ultimate sundowner. Swimming pool, excellent birding and walks down the valley. Complimentary Wi-Fi. Children welcome."
