Rissington Inn  

On the Panorama Route just south of Hazyview, this award-winning country lodge sits about 10 minutes from Kruger National Park. Close to Perry's Bridge Reptile Park, Elephant Whispers, Hazyview Elephant Sanctuary and Shangana Cultural Village — ideal for family-friendly safari days.

A relaxed, stylish guest house with 16 air-conditioned rooms that open to private verandahs and views of colourful gardens. Rooms feature en-suite bathrooms, Nespresso machines, minibars, TVs, ceiling fans and turndown service.

Take a dip in the outdoor swimming pool, stroll the gardens and join guided walks or game-spotting nearby. The lobby fireplace, library, tour/ticket assistance and child-friendly activities round out a stay where birding and small-game sightings are part of the mornings.

Complimentary unlimited high-speed Wi-Fi, safe-deposit boxes, complimentary newspapers and on-site free self-parking make short work of practical needs.

A fully licensed bar and on-site restaurant serve light meals and table d'hôte dining, with limited room service available. A complimentary full breakfast is served daily from 7 AM to 11 AM.
