Rissington Inn

Food is good, presentation amazing staff friendly, housekeeping a little slow but okay beautiful place

Really wonderful place to stay. Very peaceful and relaxed. Food was superb and service excellent. Thoroughly recommended.

We stayed at the Rissington Inn for 3 nights and used for a home base to go to Kruger and Panorama Route. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Exceptional property in terms of location and value for money. Meticulous staff ensured a memorable stay in a beautifully set room overlooking the pristine gardens. Used as a base for Kruger exploration and was pleased with the services.

Close to everything but set back a few hundred metres off the road.Grounds are nicely set out with the hills as a brilliant backdrop.The staff were all fantastic,friendly and helpful.

Food was spectacular. Staff was lovely. The grounds and the pool were lush and beautiful. Such a tranquil place. Would recommend to everyone

Pouco tempo mas deliciosa!!

O lugar é incrível. Amei! Uma coisa que me amedrontou, foi o acesso, pois chegamos à noite, há muito pouca iluminação e placa informando.

Great facility. Perfect view and a perfect entrance for the KNP.

Have stayed here many many times over the years, always on our way to the Kruger National Park and sometimes on our way out. I would very highly recommend staying here. It has very nice and easy, peaceful and relaxing feel about the place. Just the job to unwind after a long journey. The staff are always some of the best attentive staff that you will wish to find anywhere. Always a 10 out of 10 from me and the wife

The property is beautiful! The staff are friendly, helpful, and responsive. Thank you for an excellent stay with excellent value!

Absolutely beautiful setting, this is the most charming place I have stayed at in a month of traveling.

We have stayed several times at Rissington inn, over many years and have always enjoyed its peaceful and charming nature. We really enjoyed our stay this year but felt that the decor was beginning to look a little tired. The staff,as always,were delightful and the pool and grounds were immaculate.

Our second visit at Rissington. Has a colonial feel. Room was spacious with everything you need including a coffee machine and beautiful view. Pool was lovely and food excellent

Die Lage ist für den Besuch des westlichen Kurger Park sehr gut. Das Rissington Inn ist einfach, sparsam eingerichtet, aber eine schöne gesamt Anlage. Das Frühstück und das Abendessen sind sehr gut und das a la Carte Menü wechselt komplett. Insgesamt ist es sehr zu empfehlen.

5Stars all the way! Beautiful place. Food is fantastic 🏆 Staff amazing and very helpful.

Excellent location for stopover going into Kruger. Food excellent.

Didn't have blackout curtains. As the lights were on all night, we couldn't sleep well. Furthermore the bed was really over hard.

Lovely hospitality, quiet and warm service

It is a lovely place to stay. Friendly staff, Nice rooms, excellent restaurant. And great base to explore the Panorama route and to bring a visit to Kruger Park.

It's a beautiful property close to Kruger. The rooms are great with lots of hot drink options. The management appears to only hire nice people and the guests enjoyed engaging with them. The food is equal to top Jhb restaurants - very imaginative, tasty options.

The view from the hills of Hazyview is one to be cherished. I loved everything about this place from the food to the quality and detail of the rooms. The host are wonderful and attentive!!

Absolute gem of a place. Staff are friendly, rooms are neat and clean. Food is absolutely delicious. Highly recommended

The stay was pleasant from the time we entered the main gate right through to being received warmly at reception, we were offered cold lemonade to cool us down. The lady(mother to the twins, sorry i forgot her name)that attended to us was very kind and patient with us. We were ushered to our cottage and given all necessary information. Lovely place, squeaky clean, extremely comfortable and feels homely.

Great location, safe and quiet. A great value for those visiting Kruger.

Lovely, unique accommodation. Very tasty food at breakfast and dinner, with plenty of choice. Helpful and friendly staff. Our fourth time at Rissington Inn and we hope to return!

Endroit magnifique. Grand calme.

The place is so nice and quite. Before booking online call them directly and find out about the special they could be running. Their breakfast was to die for. I didn't see anything wrong with the hotel.

My stay was excellent. The food, amazingly delicious and the staff always caring.

Amazing ! Great food, relaxing atmosphere, overall charming. Good location to visit Blyde River Canyon area.

It was excellent

Yes, the 1 km rutted dirt driveway can be intimidating. The hotel is beautiful, secluded with lovely staff and a great chef. The cushions on the chairs and daybed could be a bit more padded but overall, a 10. 💖

Great place, wonderful staff

Great atmosphere, very quiet, excellent included breakfast. A fire was lit in the dining room per my request. Bar area is very inviting. Staff was extremely courteous ans helpful. Will return.

Very friendly staff. Room was large and simplistic but we liked it. Two shower heads which we REALLY liked! The only negative thing for us personally was that the bed was very firm and we prefer pillow top at home.

Underwhelming after seeing the pictures online.

The staff are incredible here - so friendly and welcoming. It's a peaceful place, with excellent food. The room wasn't as warm and comfortable as we'd have liked, but perfectly fine for our two-night stay.

This was a very nice cool place i can reccomend for anyone.the hotel staff and tge hospitalty we get was just so amazing. THANKS TO EVERYONE

Had my last 2 nights, of a 2 week holiday, at Rissingtons, and could not have asked for a better way to end my trip. The staff were extremely friendly and so accommodating. My room was perfect, had a beautiful view out over the garden and was very spacious. Due to some renovations to the restaurant, breakfast and dinner were served in my room, which was great. The food was...out of this world delicious. With regards to Covid, every precaution was taken to make me feel safe, with an in room santiser station - and virtual check-in and ordering. Honestly cannot stress enough what a great stay I had here. Thank you to the team for making me feel so welcome and for letting me end my break on such a high!!

Nice property and gardens, upgraded to a large room with nice view, great breakfast.

Super Frühstück! Die Liegen am Pool sind sehr unbequem. Anlage an sich sehr groß aber nicht spektakulär. Check-In war bisschen lieblos. Unterkunft an sich völlig in Ordnung. Für den Preis hab ich mir aber dann etwas mehr gewünscht. Ansonsten ok.

One in a million. Fabulous welcome to an amazing property. We enjoyed every minute

Fin pool som tillhörde rummet. Bra service på restaurangen. Hyfsad kvalitet på maten. Enkelt att beställa utflykt till Kruger-parken.

Amazing

100% recommended. Clean and excellent installation. Not far from Kruger. Best food ever. Very friendly stuff. I would come back 100%. Not very expensive.

A l’arrivée le personnel nous parlait très vite en anglais et nous avions de la difficulté à comprendre. Ils s’en foutaient carrément et semblaient bien découragés. Le soir, lorsque nous avions quittés pour dîner ils sont venus à notre chambre porter du chocolat mais ils ont déplacés des objets. Fermes des stores et touches à des serviettes déjà utilisés. Belle piscine Bon petit déjeuner Quand même une chambre propre Isolé loin du centre ville Fenêtre ouverte alors moustique

The staff was very friendly, welcoming and helpfull, especialy the owener Chris.

The main hotel building is an old great house for a farm. The architecture is extremely interesting and the views from the restaurant on the terrace are superb. The staff worked with each other like family - and treated the guests just the same. The owner of the hotel is an expert on South African history and an incredibly interesting fountain of knowledge about Winston Churchill and all of his contemporaries. The Inn is only about 15 minutes from the the entry to Kruger closest to Pretoriuskop and is a great place to stay on the way in or out of the park (or both).

What a find. Great privately owned 20 bed hotel/inn. Food was excellent and we loved the 2 'mini' main course options. Great idea. Staff wonderful and everyone tried to make our stay wonderful. We booked one night and then decided to stay another. Then amazingly they washed our car!!

I would reccomend this lodge to any of my friends, set in beautiful grounds the lodges are good size, clean and well kept. The main lodge serves very good value evening meals. Location provides good access to Kruger national park.Excellent alround.

Well worth the stay - a great relaxed environment.

We’ve been various times and always enjoy going back. This time we enjoyed one of the new rooms which are a great addition.

Nice hotel with first class service and great food and wine Will return

Hotel is well situated and is very quiet and has some great rooms. Excellent staff.

We stayed one night at the Rissington Inn in one of their villas. It has a lovely and large ground with pool. We also enjoyed dinner at their restaurant. The inn actually is about 1km off of R40 down an unpaved road, so it is very quiet.

What a lovely place to stay. I couldn't fault it.

This place is beautiful, staff extremely pleasant and helpful, food great (breakfast quality and quantity out of this world), fantastic value for money. Staff address you by name! Would recommend this hotel to everyone.

The overall experience was bad because we had no water and electricity including generator were out initially. Electricity and AC returned 2 am only. We had dinner and breakfast and both were very good !

The room was huge and very comfortable with big windows, air conditioning!, a private balcony, little sitting area with magazines and great views over the gardens and pool. You can't beat the physical space... but the ambiance is, well, odd. It took three people to check us in painstakingly slowly although we did have complimentary juice to enjoy during the process. In the room there is an extensive rule book and the prohibitions include everything from tolerating the neighbors' cats to not chewing gum on the premises to no children in the dining room past 6:30. The staff moves in slow motion whether they are showing you to your room or taking your order in the dining room but on the plus side they are not chewing gum. I probably would not stay here again just out of the fear of running into the eccentric owner.

brilliant the staff were exceptional and very helpful the accommodation was super very clean and no issues what so ever, location good for safari parks Food excellent

We have stayed at The Rissington many times and will stay many more times, it's like coming home. Thanks Chris and all the team for making this a very special place to stay

Breakfast cook to order menu and all day at your service restaurant is great.

a lovely, quiet hotel, very convenient for Kruger and set in delightful surroundings. We had an individual bungalow which had very nice décor and all the facilities we needed for our brief, one night stay. The food in the restaurant was good and reasonably priced. We would stay there again and therefore recommend it.

Rissington is an amazing place to stay. 5 star accomodation. Staff friendly and helpful. Food always amazing. Clean rooms and great service. Love coming back to Rissington on my trips to South Africa

The ride to the Inn was a little bumpy, but the service and the friendly people make up for it. We stayed for dinner and breakfast ,it was divine. Room with the relaxing calm view from the patio made you fill at home.

Remarkable service, great food and wine, comfortable room, all in an idyllic relaxing environment. Book this Inn if you plan to visit Kruger and nearby attractions!

The free Wifi was awful. The hotel provided me an adapter to charge my mobile, later billed it to me and asked me to keep it for future use. I didnt want it, but since the value was just ZAR 70, I did not argue. On the last day, I had to check out very early, the staff suggested to carry take-away breakfast, I agreed. They packed it in a picnic bag and handed it over to me. the bag was a used one and torn too. After breakfast, I trashed it at the airport before boarding my flight. Next day, I received a message that they have debited my account for value of the bag. This was crazy, they debited my credit card account without my consent.

A cozy getaway nestled about 1km in from the main road. The food was fantastic but the staff are what really made this place. All of them were extremely friendly and many are local. They had great advice about activities and the location is extremely close to Kruger National Park. Would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous villa style accommodation, down a winding road. Very safe, staff were incredibly friendly and the food was delicious. Not much to do in the area but it's a perfect place to stay close to the numbi gate.

Great location for day visits to Kruger,Blind River area if you have a car and choose self drive holiday. ..welcoming reception, excellent service, great breakfast, dinner offered with wide range of choices not necessary to leave once returning from a busy day of game viewing..location only 7km to the park..oasis in midst of Hazyview..highly recommend this Inn as your base in Haztview/ Kruger..needwanted to extend our stay for a third night..staff found us accommodation near by which was also excellent..you will be well looked after here..

Rissington Inn is a perfect spot to enjoy quiet beauty and good food. We enjoyed gourmet meals with reasonably priced wine each night for dinner. The wait staff worked hard to please us. Breakfast each morning was extensive and delicious. Our room had an old-fashioned bath tub, which we enjoyed with the provided bath salts and bubble bath. The only negative was ants on our porch, which made it difficult to enjoy reading and sipping a beverage on the porch. However, I recognize that we were the intruders from the ants point of view, so we just moved our reading into the indoor parlor. Another positive was its proximity to Kruger National Park.

Pleasant stay

Stayed here for a couple of nights at the end of our safari holiday in the Kruger. Everything about the place is brilliant. As soon as we walked in Chris and the staff immediately made us feel at home. The food is genuinely top notch, the bar is fantastic and the room simple clean and a genuinely lovely place to be. I will be back. The little things really made our stay very special; for example, there is a turndown service, a weather report is left on your bedside table and the fact there is no TV, Brilliant! They even washed the car for us on our day of departure.

We stayed for two nights and visited Kruger Park. Our rooms were spacious and well furnished. The entrance was a bit dodgy, but the hotel itself was perfect. The staff were very helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. They made a lunch for our park trip very early in the morning and even washed our car before we left. The food was great and the atmosphere was very African and pleasant.

Fabulous service, wonderful food, superb room - an ideal base for visiting the Kruger

Great place. On first driving up it seems like it's in the middle of nowhere but once you get to the gates it's more like an African Oasis. Big room, nice friendly staff, and very good food. Didn't use the pool but very inviting... Now we would have possibly stayed another night but the room we had been given did not have aircon and it says that quite clearly in the room desciption (although some/most of the other rooms do appear to have aircon) but we did not appreciate how hot it was going to be without it - our mistake! Don't let this little niggle out you off though, it really is a great place and close enough to Kruger Park and some of the most beautiful scenery we have ever encountered.

From the moment we arrived they made us feel special and that nothing was too much trouble , our accomadation was fabulous and made our stay in Hazyview memorable , all the staff are friendly and the food was amazing . Could not recommend Rissington high enough will return and would encourage any friends or family travelling to South Africa for a safari to stay as the location is fantastic 10 minutes from a park gate .. keep up the great work amazing experience loved the place

This was such an amazing accommodation. I loved every second! The food was GREAT!!!!

This is a beautiful property surrounded by parklike setting. The rooms were beautiful. Our room was very large, had an indoor & outdoor shower, large patio with hammock, etc. Dinner in the main building was one of the best we had in five weeks. The bar area with balcony was charming. The owner & staff are very friendly and helpful. We were very sorry we did not stay longer. You need a car to get here. The road in is a little rough.

We booked one night in advance and ended up staying for three! The Rissington Inn was warm and welcoming and utterly accommodating. The restaurant had a surprisingly extensive and quite competently executed menu , not to mention an extensive list of South African wines! Highly recommended as a base for touring Southern Kruger Park.

The Inn was a wonderful place for my family to rest after a very long day trip to KNP on our recent visit there from Australia. The service is warm and friendly and the food is excellent. The superior rooms we had were stylish and comfortable. The only negatives were a lack of air conditioning and an overhead fan that was difficult to set to a comfortable speed. The access is via a long dirt road that is well maintained. These factors were mild glitches in an otherwise memorable over night stay. I highly recommend Rissington Inn.
