After a busy week staying at the Kruger in various rest camps I wanted to book somewhere for my husband I to stay to finish off our fabulous honeymoon. Firstly corresponding with Jay was great, so helpful and completely accommodating, especially when we got upgraded to the most fantastic house (part of the lodge's property). On arrival Sandra made us... More

Mvuradona is a beautifully maintained private lodge in a subdivision of bush homes just on the border of Krueger. The lodge is small, private, and gorgeous and the staff go out of their way to create a luxurious retreat at very affordable prices. The maximinum occupancy of the lodge is about 8 or 9. We spent 4 nights at Mvuradona... More

We stayed at Mvuradona during our honeymoon. I am not at all surprised to see such mixed reviews by past guests. There were some positives about this hotel. The food was excellent and the main room is not bad (it is quite large with a nice bathroom and a great balcony). There are also some opportunities to see certain animals... More

Having seen a couple of negative reviews I was very close to not booking this lodge. As all other lodges on the Crocodile River were full I decided to take a chance. Thank goodness we did - we loved it. I am very fussy about standards of accommodation, locations and atmospheres but you can't get much better value for money... More

I returned to Jay's place having been absolutely blown away by the place when I was in South Africa in 2006 and I had the pleasure of meeting Jay back then. I took other members of my family who had flown out from Cyprus for and expected it to be just as great this time round as well, we stayed... More

I booked the lodge for June/July of 2009 by sending approximately $250 to reserve our spot. When we booked, I asked about the cancellation policy. Jay, the lodge owner, told me that it was a full refund if cancelled 60 days or more in advance. We had to cancel our trip and depsote 3 requests to credit my card for... More

Our visit to Mvuradona in Marloth Park was a truly memorable and unforgettable experience. Having booked a Virgin 8 day tour for our family of 7 starting from Kruger and going on to Mozambique and Swaziland, I decided to add on a night on either side of the tour. I am so glad I found Mvuradona through tripadvisor! On entering... More

What can I say - I came looking for an authentic African experience, and I ended up with a new extended family! I travel a lot, and I cannot ever remember feeling more at home and more welcome and taken care of than at Mvuradona. I was traveling with a friend - our first time in South Africa, and we... More

Myself and a friend stayed at Mvuradona over Easter weekend 2007. Prior to arrival, I found Jay's emails to be pleasant and she was very patient with us as our plans changed and we asked frequent questions. The location of the lodge is wonderful, only 15 minutes from the Crocodile Bridge Gate, and situated in an area that is rich... More
