Rissington Inn Reviews

This is an amazing Place to stay over. The service, the food the rooms THE VIEW! Just outstanding!

Great place, great staff, great rooms, but doesn t get 5 stars because of the bath that is located in the middle of the room (outside the bathroom!!) it s a bit weird...

An excellent overnight stay with outstanding service. Meals on our patio were excellent. Highly recommend.

Great place!! We came a family with 3 kids and got an amazing room - very comfortable. The staff are very nice. Great atmosphere. Dinner was very tasty. Highly recommended

The rooms were clean and the employees were nice. The owner came around at dinner to ask how everyone was doing.

By far, great place for Business & Leisure. Thanks to entire staff-member. Room are big & spacious(will prefer serve yourself for Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)

They gave us a room superior to the one acquired. There were free cookies and homemade liquor. the bar prices are very good, the park is always perfectly cared for and despite having been only one night, they washed our car !!!! breakfast is also complete.
all perfect

This lodge is very nice, you have to get through a difficult trail road to get there but it's worth the effort. The rooms are great with a nice view on the valley and some wine to welcome you. Beds' mastresses are actually awesome, I've never slept better in South Africa than here and the bathroom is huge. The place is really nice with a lot of trees and green parts. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful, very comprehensive and interesting too. Both dinner and breakfast are great with reasonable prices. The morning cooking options were quite breathtaking with actually African food, a first for a breakfast here! As usually, I've a specific mention for the paper straws which is an important topic to me (there are also other visible efforts about ecology). At last, you don't have TV in the room, instead you have a proposal of books which I find particularly original and amazing.

Beautiful hotel in beautiful surroundings, is a bit afterwards but is well secured. Nice restaurant where you do not have to drive to the town in the evening

Such a gorgeous place! Stunning views and atmosphere, peace and quiet, kind staff, the rooms (we have a garden view) - well equipped and so beautiful. We laughed a lot at the humour in the info booklet we found in the room. Diverse and delicious menu. This place truly does have it all!

Professional and friendly service. They are going put of their way to welcome guests back after lockdown

Absolute Gem! Very affordable, Clean, Friendly staff and Food was amazing. I truly recommend to anyone looking for serenity and bliss in the bush...

Go for lunch and order a club sandwich. Its not on the menu.. you re welcome..

Fabulous position. Individual huts. Restaurant at a respectable price

Pastoral, relaxing, with wonderful (and beautiful) staff. I would recommend staying here for at least 3 days...

Wow what a lovely surprise. This awesome jewel needs more than 5 stars. Friendly staff, immaculate rooms, paradise lost in the bush. I highly recommend this truly affordable get away.

Very pretty setting in a very well maintained park but the access is very difficult by car or on foot because the path is full of ruts. The rooms
are from another time with an obsolete decoration

A beautiful, large and spacious lodge. Excellent food, great, varied breakfast buffet, everything was beautifully presented, nice rooms, decorated with attention to detail. The best choice as a starting point for Kruger National Park and Panorama Route (Blyde Canyon). Absolutely recommendable!

We are having such a great time here. Place is very tranquil staff very helpful. Home away from home. Thank you so much

Quant lodge with spacious rooms and great restaurant on site. WiFi in reception area only.

Beautiful estate with great rooms. Excellent starting point for Kruger and the Panorama route. Friendly staff and a good kitchen. Recommended.

From LilianDavidson.Southport. UK. May 2014.

I was in RSA April /May to spend my 70th birthday with friends. We came to Rissington Inn for a 3 night stay, mainly because of its nearness to KNP. What a lovely place, beautiful accommodation in a tranquil setting. The owner Chris Harvie was very much hands on and very friendly. My only complaint Chis, was that I never did get my resident gecko!!!!! Lots of mozzie bites, but par for the course, I can stand in a crowd and the one local mozzie would find me! Back home now with fond memories.

Very good experience. The rooms are huge and the restaurant room offers a lot of choice. The staff are pleasant. I will come back and recommend.

The Yard is improved and not cleaned as the fallen dry leaves of trees everywhere

Excellent. Great staff. Beautiful location. Super Breakfast.

Very friendly staff and nice accomodations with lovely gestures. Dinner was very good.

Absolutley wonderful. Fantastic rooms, facities and the food is incredible and great value for money. Breakfast superb. Staff wonderful.

Small restoration of the bungalows necessary too old

Serene and spacious accommodation. Staff very professional and helpful. Meals wonderfully prepared and definitely a place to relax.

I have just stayed at the Rissington with my husband, for the second time. As ever, it was the most relaxing and enjoyable experience; the service is excellent but unobtrusive, the staff are brilliant. No place better, we look forward to the next time.

Awesome placeto stay, the staff were so accommodating and helped us with a room on very short notice and even upgraded our booking at no extra cost. The food was an absolute experience on its own!!! Dinner and breakfast were both beyond amazing with such unique dishes. Would 100% recommend Rissington Inn to anyone any day!!! Thanks souch to the amazing staff!!!

We booked for 2 nights through our agency:
1st booth arrival:
First of all, the larger booked superior room is already allocated elsewhere - but this is not communicated to us - instead with an "upgrade" us a supposedly better because larger room offered. Haken: The shower is in the open, "protected" by a wall at belly button height overlooking the large garden, which is also visited by many other guests ...
That being said, it's winter in SA right now, and with outdoor temperatures around 13 degrees in the morning, an outdoor shower is more for "hard-boiled" ...
The agreement negotiated with the help of our agency - a night in a tiny superior room and a day later change to the freed up larger superior room - we assume, especially since the receptionist promises the manager for a "compensation" in the form of a dinner or at least a bottle of wine. As of now (9:42 pm) neither the one nor the other has been offered.
In addition, a lack of "on the Internet" TV in this room, the "reception water" is in a disgusting decanter and the toilet is broken (continuous running of the water).
Furthermore, the impression of the room is:
It looks unclean and run-down, the "reception flowers" are long since withered.
We are looking forward to the "silent" change of the room tomorrow during our day trip ....

2 day
The night before we were eating out, probably for this reason, no further contact on the part of the management.

Great place, clean rooms, spacious and modern. We needed an overnight accommodation.

Superb experience....location, setting, hospitality, service cuisine, amenities, decor....Spent seven nights at the Rissington. Plan to return for another extended break in the not too distant future. Stop clicking around and book....you ll be pleased you did.

Nice hotel and service. Great food and service as one would expect in a 5 star hotel. Recommended. Only smiling faces have been seen by the employees.

Grounds are phenomenal. Rooms are a bit dated, restaurant was good. Breakfast had plenty.

One of my favourite stops in hazyview. Offers great accommodation and good for long stays. Is within the gateway of Kruger National Park and other tourist attraction in the lowveld. The restaurant has good meals to choose from and has a bar with beers & wines to choose from. You have to try the West Africa Sweet Potato & Peanut Soup

Enjoyed everything about this place. It's one of my most unforgettable experiences.

Beautiful spacious lodges pleasant (even if not isolated enough, we hear the neighbors). Beautiful setting. The service is a bit slow.

Lovely local accommodation outside of Kruger National Park. Very nice sherry and staff.

Lovely spot with great staff. Food was delicious and good value too.

Hospitality is awesome. Comfortable rooms and beautiful setting. Looking forward to my 3rd stay.

A very nice venue with great dining also offering vegan options. Most visitors spend their days at Kruger National Park. Clean and large rooms with outdoor showers, courteous and attentive staff. Highly recommended.

Perfect place for spending few days with excelent level of service

Absolutely fantastic! Great location, close to an entrance to Kruger park. It's like being in an Out of Africa setting. Very welcoming staff and excellent food.

The hosts we're very nice and accommodating. The Facility is quite old but meets an acceptable standard. The food was average.

Very comfortable apartment room
Very decent restaurant at reasonable prices

Relaxed, honest, peaceful & comfortable, one of my favourite places.

Room was ok. Very bad service got food poisoning from dinner . Place does not look as advertised at all . Staff unprofessional. Took 40min for our starter . Rates are far too high definitely not a 4 star place .

Very nice accommodation on the edge of the Kruger NP, ideal for travel conclusion

Superb restaurant and hotel, Chris is an excellent host with typical 'British' humour!

Great location and nice staff who will make things happen for their guests. Good price-quality. Rooms and interior need refurbishment though.

Awesome stay.
Would visit this facility again

We stayed over for 1 night in December. We where surprisingly upgraded to a villa unit. This was a fantastic surprise to us. The staff where super friendly, competent and relaxed. It was an all round wonderful experience

Warmly, peaceful, relaxing! Ideal for reenergizing!

Super friendly staff. Spacious rooms. Great restaurant. Amazing views

Amazing place. Very friendly and efficient staff. The place has a bar and a resturant on the premises. The pool area has grear views. The breakfast included is amazing, english breakfast with extras. We recieved a complimentary upgrade for our rooms... king sized bed and a single bed, spacious bathroom and outdoor shower(best part about staying here). Free parking on the premises available.

Had a great stay here. Also, the food they prepare for breakfast and dinner is fantastic!

The hotel is fantastically beautiful, great rooms, a super friendly staff and a very good dinner. We were completely satisfied.
The hotel is very quiet and perfect for relaxing and a good starting point for the Panorama Route.

Lovely n quiet place in hazyview... room are super well equipped...I do advice guests to come around too....

Beautiful grounds, great food and staff. Rooms need some work.

Rooms a little old. It is located in a strategic position.

What an amazing place! Not only a super room but also the staff and the food in the restaurant are great! This hotel deserves a big compliment ... big fat recommendation !!!

Nicely located Inn. Beautiful room with outdoor shower with a beautiful view. Spacious room and spacious bathroom. Comfortably furnished. The breakfast is good: lots of choice and well cared for.
