Reviews from Oliver’s Restaurant & Lodge guests
“Enjoyed a night at Oliver’s always a great place to visit on the way to or from Kruger Park. The food is always good and the atmosphere is always relaxing and the staff friendly. Look forward to our next visit but White River is a long way from the UK at present,” wrote fostersandy on their TripAdvisor page.
Miriam Lenehan added; “We were so impressed with our luxury room we thought we’d been upgraded to an executive suite. So spacious, airy and with our own veranda overlooking the golf course and pool we were DELIGHTED with the stay. Friendly helpful staff and amazing range and quality in the restaurant – we wished we had stayed longer. The underfloor heating and the complimentary sherry daily are just extra icing on the cake!!! Terrific.”
“We loved Oliver’s. Dene was fantastic with our handling our booking and the subsequent requests. Nozizwe and her team made us feel most welcomed. Oliver’s is surrounded by some great cafes at the Bagdad and some fantastic fine dining restaurant. We will definitely stay at Oliver’s as it was a sanctuary in the hot Mpumalanga weather,” said ng0vender.
