Top Lions River Hotel Reviews

ANEW Hotel Hilton Pietermaritzburg

10/10 Excellent

"Such friendly staff made the stay that much more enjoyable."

Biggy Best Cottages

8/10 Good

"Location and grounds were lovely. Room was advertised as the "Stables Suite", but it was very small. We had to go outside and into another locked room to access our kitchenette. Front desk staff was very dry and not welcoming. She did not seem to like her job. Breakfast started 45 minutes after advertised. Listing and signage say "breakfast, lunch and dinner", but they only serve breakfast. Bed was very old and creaky. Lots of potential. Needs TLC."

The Hilton Bush Lodge

8/10 Good

"Kettle was dirty inside, and dead spiders left on the walls after being sprayed with doom... a small stove would be nice as will a braai /fireplace outside Otherwise, lovey and will be back"

The owners have done a phenomenal job curating a world-class luxury retreat right in the heart of the Midlands. Every detail of the accommodation reflects impeccable taste, comfort, and thoughtful design, making it the perfect setting to unwind in style. Beyond the beautiful property, the hospitality truly sets this place apart. The staff were genuinely warm, attentive, and eager to ensure every part of our stay was effortless. Paired with consistently fantastic food that exceeded expectations at every meal, it made for an unforgettable getaway. Bali and Eva delivers an all-round masterclass in luxury hospitality. We cannot recommend it highly enough and will definitely be back."
