117 guests' feedbackFor sure we will spend the night there again. Friendly service and is clean and tidy.
The experience was excellent! Friendly, helpful, neat, convenient, comfortable, and so much more. SleepOver Orpen Gate definitely gets a 10 star from me. I especially want to thank the guard at the gate, he was working on the 6th of June, and the man was so friendly, and really made me feel at home when I walked in. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
We had a great sleep over! The food was very tasty and the people friendly!

Friendliest staff in SA.
Yes, definitely very peaceful and pleasant.
This is the perfect overnight stay opposite the Wildlife Park. The gatekeeper deserves stars! So friendly and helpful! Recommendation if you book a family room with 4 people, is that 4 towels are provided. That's really all that's needed!
I would recommend SleepOver to anyone, service is excellent and staff awesome.
It was value for money near the Wildlife Park. Would love to stay again.
Orpen Sleepover is always a place to look forward to! Never disappointed!
Had a great stay. Would recommend to anyone wanting to go to the Wildlife Park.
Very clean, staff in general super friendly. The food at the shop was very good but just a little bit pricey, but we enjoyed our stay a lot.
Good service. We were in two rooms that were not next to each other. They kindly changed it to two rooms next to each other.
Nice simple place and perfect for an overnight stay near the Kruger.
Neat, affordable accommodation in just the right place. And some pleasant surprises such as the delicious takeaway, good supply of coffee and tea and exceptionally good shower - big, right temperature water and nice stream of water. Nothing was stingy. Good Wi-Fi. We slept very well.
Enjoyed the stay. Staff at reception and security are very professional, friendly and helpful. Upon arrival, coffee, tea and sugar were in the room. No milk was provided. Stock not replenished during my stay.
The accommodation is very neat and to be recommended. This is a good location for a 'sleep over' before you have to enter the game park, especially if accommodation in the game park is a problem. Many thanks to the staff who put in an extra effort with a camera that was left there.
The stay was fine. They will need to work on their restaurant, as we were hungry after a long day of driving and the restaurant was out of stock for most of their items. A recommendation for StayOver: Possibly consider havig some washing machines/laundry service. Their location is very far from any (safe) location to do laundry and we would have loved to have the opportunity to wash some clothes as we have been traveling for a while. We had to drive all the way to Hazyview to find a laundrette.
Well located. Good price. Very neat. Good security.
The staff were very helpful and friendly.
Nice place to sleep over on your way to the park without breaking the bank. Space, especially in the bathroom, is very limited, and a microwave in the room would be a useful addition.
Always friendly staff.
It was fine for an overnight stop but there was nothing to do once we had checked in, so it was an early night for us! The room was clean and basic and suited us as a one-night stop as we travelled through the Kruger National Park.
Great service, value for money, great food, affordable.
Yes delicious. Sorry that there is no TV available. Wanted to watch the test between Springboks and Argentina. I don't know if the reception understood, but she didn't even say anything about WiFi.
Very pleasant but noisy as the place is on the road.
Pleasant stay, nice and close to Orpen gate. Check in was just frustrating and very slow.
Just right for a sleepover. Small problems in the cottage such as a broken boiler and a fallen handle from the shower.
Nice stay. Kitchen was out of stock for meals.
Conveniently close to the Wildtuin (Orpen Hek). Sleep over and drive early the next morning to make the most of the day. Friendly reception and very neat and clean. The convenience store also offers meals.
Very nice setup, but they need to look at degradation. Was there 3 months ago and there is clear deterioration. Place full of ants and kettle in room didn't work.
Perfect place to stay if you want to visit the Wildlife Park.
Go and experience the wonderful friendly nature.
It was a surprising and pleasant experience. We really enjoyed it.
They call us to find out how far along we are. They kindly received us after 21:00. We had tire problems on the way and they let us stay longer the next morning (until 12:30) to solve our tire problems first.
Good location and 2 minutes from the first Wildtuin gate. Clean and tidy and a restaurant with good meals.
We were pleasantly surprised by how amazing the facilities were. One can see that nowhere is the "cheaper" option taken. Everything is top class and we slept very well!
The location was excellent, super close to Orpen gate. The staff was so friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again.
The unit is small, but very well furnished with everything but cooking facilities (kettle only and outdoor free braai on request), but there is a cafeteria with a reasonable selection. Service was prompt and friendly. It would help if the family unit could be equipped with 4 of everything such as cups, glasses and towels.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were very clean and tidy.
Lovely, safe, clean place to sleep and extremely well located.
Friendly reception after a long journey. The staff are very helpful and go out of their way to make the customer feel at home. The rooms are neat, clean and comfortable. We slept very well. Thank you.
Lovely overnight rooms.
We found our accommodation very comfortable.
Clean, tidy and comfortable overnight facilities near Orpen gate. Good alternative to visiting the wildlife park as day visitors, but become a "Wild Card Member" to reduce entrance fees at the gate.
Staff are very friendly and helpful. Nice food just be patient because they make all order fresh. Rooms are very neat with everything you need. If you are going to barbecue, bring your own cutlery etc. Lovely surroundings and literally 10 minutes' drive from Orpen gate. We are definitely going to stay there again just longer than the 2 nights we were there.
SleepOver Orpen Gate is definitely a great overnight destination if you are visiting the game park. I even said I would stay there just to rest for a vacation. Great!
Friendly reception and neat unit. The location is ideal for someone who wants to visit the KNP.
Clean, tidy, friendly and excellent beyond expectations.
What a surprise, all that you will ever need and more for a good night's rest. Just love it and will most definitely book again.
The service was very good and the rooms very clean.
Neat and safe overnight accommodation. Stayed over for 3 nights. Friendly staff. Great food.
I would recommend SleepOver Orpen for an overnight place. We stayed there for two nights. Would stay there again anytime.
Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I will certainly stay here again!
Very neat, very clean, friendly reception. The hamburgers as a light meal were excellently prepared. Will sleep over again on the way to the game park.
Service was great, rooms very neat and clean. Restaurant unfortunately did not have ice. Meals in restaurant were great. Would recommend anytime.
Staff helpful. Will definitely use again for overnight stay en route to KNP.
Staff are very friendly and helpful. This is my 2nd time there and will definitely stay there again.
This was an overnight stay that I would definitely recommend. Not far from the Orpen Gate in a safe environment. We ordered the most delicious fast foods from their restaurant. Amazing experience!
It was really nice.
Our go-to place. A sleepover without popcorn.
Excellent, friendly, professional staff. Parking areas especially for rooms 17 and 18 could be more clearly marked.
Unfortunately, our room's shower and basin did not drain (blocked). We reported it at reception and after a while, the lady brought a service key and told us that we should move to the room next to us. We had already unpacked, so decided to stay where we were (room 23), but that we would use the next-door room's basin and shower. Unfortunately, that was blocked too, so we went to room 26 to shave and shower.
The kettle was not working and there was no hot water! We had cold showers.
Relax after a long day on the road!
Will definitely use again at different gates.
May need help in the kitchen, meals take a long time.
Everybody was helpful and kind. The location is convenient and well situated.
Accommodation was clean and staff were friendly. However, think that other places offer more than them for the same price or cheaper.
Unfortunately, there are no self-catering facilities, apart from barbecue grills. The shop doesn't really have meals and no breakfast as such. There are also no restaurants really close by. In that respect, it is not very convenient to stay there.
Would recommend people to spend the night there on the way to the game park.
Very calm. Well located near the Orpenhek.
We booked a family room, but only to find it's 1 room with side pedal beds, so we had to sleep with a 14-year child, whereas on the advert 2 bedrooms were being advertised.
Just feedback from one of the guests. 1. It was not mentioned that there was no soap, etc. in the bathroom is not. 2. Towels do not smell pleasant, they are musty. 3. Look at your road directions, it says from when you leave the airport, which airport?. 4. Also mention that any purchases can be made in which town. Acornhoek is 30 kilometers from the overnight facilities, but it is a rural area where roads are impassable, goats walk on the almost tar and almost dirt road. 5. There were many bags of sugar, no coffee or milk, no teaspoon just a stick to stir. 6. The kettle continues to boil, does not turn itself off. 7. Shower and sink water does not get hot.
What a wonderful experience, less than 4km from Orpen gate and ideal for an overnight stay to enter the wildlife park early. The security guard at the gate and the reception were so friendly and helpful. The rooms are so clean and practical! I will definitely stay there again!
Very nice stay, clean and staff very friendly.
Friendly staff, safe and neat.
My husband and I booked in for 2 nights. Everything was perfect. Neat and tidy. The staff are amazing. I must commend the receptionist Fiona. She made sure everything we needed on the first night we arrived was done. From the security to the staff everyone was absolutely friendly. The kitchen staff are very good. The food was delicious. Definitely value for money. Highly recommended.
It was a pleasure to stay at Sleepover. Would definitely recommend it to anyone. Especially if you would like to visit the Kruger National Park.
The units are basic, but beautiful and perfectly adequate for an overnight stay. We stayed there for 3 nights during our wildlife park holiday and would definitely recommend it.
On arrival (not until 8 PM) we were met at reception by a friendly and professional person. The units are very neat and clean and offer everything as advertised (even free Wi-Fi in the rooms). If you want to "self cater" there, you must take a picnic basket with you because there are no cutlery etc. in the unit is not. We just took a small braai with us, but there are braaiers available on request. I believe we will stay there again soon. It is only a 5-minute drive from the Orpen entrance gate. Thank you SleepOver Orpen Gate for a great stay experience.
Neat, clean and modern accommodation. Will book a whole week next time and just drive into the game park. Restaurant's meals top! Generator immediately kicks in with load shedding. Parking at room. Very safe.
Had a lovely stay, is tidy, quiet, nice view, staff friendly and can order takeaways which they bring to your room. Will stay here again.
Well located, tidy and very affordable. The service was very friendly and they go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. They even brought our food to our room. Overall very good and for the price you won't be able to easily get better.
Food is great from the kitchen, best french fries in the country, staff very professional and helpful.
We will definitely use this destination again!
Everything you read about the place is true. We love the whole idea of the setup of the place. Will stay there again for sure. I thought "Yes no, today I pay thousands of rands again just for one night." Not at all. For the convenience of the rooms it is more than the value.
Very nice visit with friendly hosts.
Definitely going again. Security very good. Very neat. Very helpful staff.
There was no restaurant.
Rooms neat clean and sufficient. Staff at reception super friendly.
I really enjoyed my short stay.
Friendly greeting from the security at the gate, great service from reception. We were out of luck after a long drive, your coffee machine stock were not there yet. Did already recommended sleep over to all my friends. Thank you for a great experience.
Lovely brand new little rooms. Beds are so comfy and rooms are clean. Hopefully next time the shop will be set up.
Clean and tidy. Staff friendly and go out of their way to help. It is definitely worth staying there. Best service ever. More than value for money, keep it up.
Very pleasant experience. Great for a short stay. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Units clean and tidy. Would definitely use them again.
Room needs a chair for the shelf in front of the mirror. Worktop is not usable without a chair. Room lacks a suitcase rack or small table to put a suitcase on as well as a bedside table. We brought in the table and chairs from the porch to make the room more livable. It worked well. No TV. We didn't miss it, but it is essential in today's time! Guests must be warned or informed about the shooting on the property next door. Being woken up in the late night and/or early morning by a hellish gunshot can upset people.
Very tasty and affordable and more than value for money.
If generator has the right exhaust system it will make less noise.
We enjoyed our stay. However, recommend that if you do oversleep that you also pack your coffee. There is a coffee machine at reception (wasn't open when we left at 06:30). There is a kettle in the room with mugs but no products are provided (coffee, sugar).
Very close to Kruger National Park's gate. Ideal for day visits.
Was able to get a braai and cutlery at the restaurant. Would it be convenient to have a cabinet in the room or on the porch - perhaps a box on wheels with the necessary braai facilities? How about some hangers in the open, small hanging closet. We were literally only there for 1 night and felt safe.
Very comfortable and close to Orpen gate. Place is very clean.
Staff were friendly and helpful. The unit was clean, beds were very comfortable with decent bedding. We stayed in the family room with 2 children and there was still plenty of room in the unit with the two beds pulled out. The generator starts immediately if there is a power failure. The WiFi works. The security guard is very friendly and concerned about the guests. Orpen gate is 5min away.
Very beautiful area.
Very cute and comfortable.
Clean and very neat establishment with all the basics in place for a comfortable and safe stayover.
Just a pity the restaurant was not operational yet. So we were not prepared for the circumstances! We were in a family room with 1 grandchild, but only 2 people are provided with the pillows, mugs and towels, whereas the unit is suitable for 4.
It is definitely sleep ond go, it works its clean its well designed. Being on route to Orpen KNP the ideal for early entrance to Kruger. There is no nowhere to buy food coffee or other amenities. Have to take everything along.
The rooms are as advertised and were clean and are well located for day trips to Wildlife Park.
This is our second time staying here. It is clean and the beds sleep well. We stayed in no 10, although it is clean the air conditioning drips water that runs over the door onto the carpet. The door has now puffed out so much that it no longer closes. The shower is also very nice.
The accommodation is neat, clean, the bed sleeps well and the shower works well. The place is just not very soundproof. Would definitely recommend it as a place to stay.
See stars.
Friendly staff, the kitchen delays slightly when there are many guests, but generally good, food is excellent and not too pricy.
Everything was clean. The receptionist was not very friendly. The cafeteria was poorly stocked.
First, when we called Orpen the operator said that all units are full, but when we booked on the net there was still place. When we got there 90% off all the room was open, I think thats bad for business.
They should give a "breakfast" option as well. Restaurants are far.
