It was very nice at Crocodile Nest and we will definitely visit there again. We felt very welcome and safe and the children had a lot to do there, like swimming, walking and driving. Will definitely recommend the place to friends and family and visit again myself.
The room was nice and big and very tidy. The water pressure was also wonderful and the garden was very nice and peaceful. It is also located very close to everything. We will definitely go there again.
Conveniently located close to the N4. Neat and clean with a beautiful garden!
Very nice overnight place will definitely come again.
You can refer anyone. There was no problem.
Owners incredibly friendly and helpful. Called me the next day to find out if the rest of my trip was safe.
Crocodile Nest is one of the nicest places I have ever stayed. The atmosphere and customer service are exceptional. It is neat and very reliable.
Garden is beautiful and Mark and Beryl's hearts are warm.
Tidiest, cleanest place I have ever stayed in. Friendly, hospitable people! Fully equipped, from Doom to matches! Everything is spotless!
We got there. Everyone was so friendly. We will visit there again in the future
Friendly staff and manager. My family enjoyed the stay.
Friendly reception. Close to everything. Highly recommended. Will stay there again.
Close to the main road, so the traffic is a bit noisy. The gardens are breathtakingly beautiful. Place is small, but comfortable and tidy. Very friendly staff.
It gives you peace of mind.
Comfortable, clean and tidy. The garden is beautiful and although it was a stone's throw from the N4, the traffic didn't bother us.
It's a bit close to the traffic. It's not nice and quiet before. But the garden view makes up for it. We enjoyed it anyway.
We booked for the Easter weekend for me and my husband and our two adult sons. The accommodation we got, which was one double bed and two bunk beds. It is not suitable for adults in my opinion and was extremely cute. Even more, we looked forward to having each breakfast at Crocodile Nest before heading out for the day. The owner very kindly informed us that she would not be able to provide us with breakfast, "because I just know my own limitations and it is just me, myself and I here". With Easter weekend which is clearly a very busy time in the guest house and hotel industry, I would wonder if it was not indicated to perhaps make use of temporary workers in order to be able to provide it for the guests who want breakfast.
Very neat and nice and quiet.
Delicious and beautiful place.
The garden is as if from a glossy magazine and can just as well be used for wedding photos. Staff extremely professional and friendly. Peaceful quiet atmosphere. Can recommend it to anyone. You will definitely see us again.
They must tell breakfast is not included in payment.
Will visit again, thanks.
My sister and I were very satisfied with the stay! Beryl went out of her way to make us feel at home. The wooden houses are very well furnished and very neat. There was tea and coffee available in the kitchen. We can recommend the place with the utmost confidence.
Everything was clean and tidy. The host was very friendly and helpful. Would recommend it for sure.
Friendly reception, large spacious rondavel and everything. Perhaps lacking a two-plate stove and sink.
The owners were very friendly and the accommodation as well as breakfast were top notch.
Great sleep for good value for money. Excellent friendly and professional service received from Beryl. Thank you!
Beautiful place. Very homely but also private.
The place is really very beautiful, the garden especially the apartment was very neat and clean and the staff always there to help. What bothers me a bit is the noise from the n4, but other than that the place is top notch.
Friendly service and helpful.
We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms, and the yard ─ the beautiful flower garden and green grass is beautiful. Will definitely tell others about the quiet place. Just to find yourself again in smiles and loving company of the resort's hospitality. We'll see them again soon.
See stars.
Neat accommodation on a beautiful farm. Lots of cute dogs on the site and beautiful garden. Safe, clean and good value for money. Friendly welcome and fresh orange juice was delicious! Safe parking and good security. Can definitely recommend. Will come again!
Visit was wonderful and very pleasant. Owners are very hospitable and would recommend anyone who wants to stay there.
It was a very nice experience. Friendly service, and very helpful. Would recommend and visit them again anytime.
Nice garden and comfortable room.
Very friendly reception. Safe and sound arrangements were made for an early departure.
See stars.
Crocodile Nest is the best. Hospitality is number one, staff are very friendly.
Pleasant place, friendly and helpful people. Nice garden. Just close to main road, so traffic noise.
It was superb and enjoyable.
We had an amazing time and rested well. We checked in after hours and were received very kindly. The house was comfortable, very clean and tidy. We will definitely want to visit Crocodile Nest again.
Facilities are neat, friendly service. Will they definitely recommend.
We were very impressed with the stay at Crocodile Nest. Neat, clean, very friendly service. Very good value for money and Beryl really went the extra mile!
The room was clean and comfortable. We would stay over at Crocodile Nest again.
We would recommend Crocodile's Nest anytime! The location of the accommodation is good and easy to find. The reception is so hospitable and helpful. The units are well furnished with everything a person needs for a comfortable stay. The unit was beautifully clean and safe. Perfect for 4 people. I would definitely recommend it to anyone and stay there again.
Clean, neat facilities with the most beautiful garden.
Very friendly staff and accommodation. I would only recommend that sharp knives be placed in the rondavel? Very nice stay!
Beautiful grounds and garden with walking trails and pond.
Very friendly staff, nice clean rondavel, it was a very nice place to spend the night and will definitely stay there again.
Crocodile Nest is a comfortable, affordable, clean and attractive place to stay. The staff members are friendly and welcoming no matter the time of your arrival. Their in-house breakfast is also highly recommended - it beats any other Farmhouse Breakfast.
We were greeted very friendly and the place indicated clearly on the N4. The room is neat and clean with all the necessary amenities for comfort, including DStv, en-suite bathroom/toilet, fridge, kettle, towels, soap etc. The beds are comfortable and the location is private and quiet. We will definitely stay there again.
We were kindly received and shown where everything was. We were also able to connect our forest wagon to power. Very clean and tidy overnight log cabins. The communal kitchen is well equipped. Lady was very hospitable and helpful. We will definitely stay there again.
Relaxed, comfortable place to stay in a very peaceful environment.
The reception was particularly warm. Comfortable place to sleep at an affordable price.
Was unforgettably delicious and animal friendly.
Mark and Beryl fantastic people. Hospitable and comfortable, feels like "home".
We had a really nice stay. Mark and Beryl were very hospitable. Everyday there was some or other juice in the fridge that we really appreciated. Cleaners did not violate our privacy and their service was good. Will definitely visit their guesthouse again and recommend it boldly.
Very nicely located for an overnight stay on the way to Mozambique. Owners were very flexible and helpful. Delicious bag of mints was a bonus.
The log cabins were simple, but without any shortcomings. The management's hospitality and personal contact were exceptional. A delicious breakfast rounded off the stay.
Very pleased with my stay at Crocodiles Nest and I am looking forward to returning there.
We loved the atmosphere. The whole feel of the place is nice. Makes you feel at home, but also takes you away. The garden is awesome. Love the dogs. They are well mannered and got on well with the children.
Thank you very much for the hospitality. Is very neat and clean. I would recommend it to anyone. Will definitely stay there again in the future.
We arrived there on a very cold evening. The water pressure in the taps is very weak, it takes a long time before there is enough bath water. We couldn't find any drinking glasses in the cupboards. Furthermore, it is well furnished and comfortable.
The price does not justify the bad quality of the DStv.
Thank you for a nice stay. Will visit again.
Very clean, tidy and place to stay is very nice. Located close to town.
Would definitely stay here again when we're in the area.
Our accommodation was very nice. Room was clean and comfortable. Shower was difficult. There were problems with the water and we had to shower in the main house next door. It was very uncomfortable.
Would recommend anyone to try Crocodile Nest. Amazing place and great service.
We only stayed one night in a rondavel. It was very neat and clean and equipped with all the essentials and suitable for an overnight stay, but probably a bit cramped for a longer visit. Beverly Fraser went out of her way to make us feel welcome and even offered to have dinner together. When we turned it down she arranged that we could eat at the neighboring Kwanyoni Lodge before the kitchen closed. We would definitely stay here again.
We were kindly received by the capable Sozinha. Quiet atmosphere even though the main road is close by. Rondawel was fully furnished and spotless. Many thanks to Beryl and Mark Fraser.
See stars.
Beryl and Mark are warm and hospitable hosts. We enjoyed the setting and can recommend the Crocodile Nest Bed and Breakfast as a comforting stop over for travel weary families.
See stars.
Snappy with our needs and hospitable.
Had a nice stay, except for the communal kitchen. Many guests left it dirty after the previous evening.
I enjoyed my stay very much. A very nice place indeed. I would have given them 5 star for customer service had it not been for the rudeness of the gentleman who opened the gate for us on our arrival first day. All the ladies I met there were very friendly and made our stay very pleasant. To the ladies: Your effort to make our stay so enjoyable is much appreciated. I will in all probabilities stay there when I visit Nelspruit again.
Everything is very neat and clean. The shower facilities in the wooden cabins are just not very comfortable, are too high. But other than that, no other complaints. We were received very kindly.
We really enjoyed it, just couldn't swim, weather wasn't good, friendly owners and very helpful, place not 5 star but comfortable and safe, would stay there again anytime.
Our stay was lovely. Just a bit disappointed in the breakfast.
Beryl is a fantastic person and goes out of her way to make it as comfortable as possible. The stay was better than expected and I can't wait to visit again!
Apartment was perfect for us as a family with small children. Very clean and tidy. Beryl made us feel like family. Children enjoyed it. Will definitely stay there again.
Place is neat and clean. Can recommend Crocodile Nest with confidence, for an overnight stop or weekend getaway.
Hostess very pleasant. The garden is wonderfully large and peaceful, beautiful bird life. Secure parking with a clean chalet and nice patio!
Pleasant hospitality and very clean and tidy.
Crocodile Nest is the best value for money.
Pleasant.
The place is nice but the pets are free. We didn't have the time to swim - when we went there the dog was in the swimming pool.
It is in a very nice garden, but too close to the N4 motorway for me. The unit we stayed in was right below the owners who live on the top floor.
