This RCI Gold Crown resort has recently been refurbished and is very plush. The unit being next to the river offered great viewing as a wide variety of game come to the river's edge below the units for drinking. Elephant, lion, crocs, hippo, wildebeest and warthog etc were seen. Bird life too is excellent. We did not always want to prepare our own meals (great kitchen) so we would either use the restaurant or go to another resort for a change or into the nearby town of Komatipoort. There is a lot to see and do in the area like golf, fishing, game drives, arts & craft markets etc. The famous Kruger Park game reserve extends into the resort and the gate into the reserve is only minutes away. Mozambique is only an hour's drive and offers fantastic reefs and other attractions.
If you love wildlife, this resort offers really super viewing and should be on your 'bucket list'.

Whilst Ngwenya is situated within the most picturesque surroundings the management and quality of this resort falls far short of expectations. If you want the most basic of accommodation at above avarage prices then you might consider Ngwenya.
Resources are extremely badly managed, from a lack of running water on certain days to inferior cleaning standards, to a restaurant owner called Tinus with the most arrogant attitude (for what reason I am still trying to establish....) - might perhaps be small man syndrome - sorry I could not resist.
It is a real shame that this resort has access to the most amazing views of the Kruger National Park and the Komati River, but it is such a pity that the buildings, atmosphere and management spoil the natural beauty.
Also note that guests are required to pay the WHOLE amount upfront months before their stay, rather book a hotel, where you will have more facilities for exactly the same price.
R17,000 later = very dissapointed. Not a good deal, perhaps if you have RCI points it may be a bargain, but do not pay cash. Simply not worth it!
