Beautifully tended outside area, excellent hospitality- an additional plus was the delicious fine dining dinner our host Jan concocted. Issabella is lovely, friendly, so competent and kind. The staff are very caring and helpful. This is a very well-run, extremely ethically and ecologically managed guest house - both facts of which are especially important to me. It is rare and therefore worth mentioning. I would recommend it to anyone looking for good comfortable beds, and caring hosts.

I would have preferred better lighting in my room as it was rather dark, but this would not stop me from recommending this guesthouse or from staying here again.

Isabella was making reservations for us at a local restaurant but they were already booked so she ordered takeout for us and she set a table for us. Everything was absolutely perfect from the minute we drove up! We highly recommend staying here and look forward to staying again on a future visit.

A great location with the staff very friendly and helpful. The owners readily available taking an active part in the day to day running of the establishment. It was a great attempt at green operations with sustainability and minimal waste a priority. Food was amazing with a great option of main meals individually prepared to an amazing standard.

As the location is in a residential area local dogs could be heard at times, although not to the point of causing a problem or disturbance to the stay.

A very tasteful accomodation with nice staff and some pretty corners to explore in the garden. We enjoyed staying on our beautiful veranda in the evening and finding a breakfast box with lovely breakfast when we started to the Kruger NP early the next day. The kitchen staff provided me a great vegan breakfast and always made sure that we’re having a great stay. We can definitely recommend this place and would book again.

Rooms were a bit dark after sunset

The Breakfast was delicious, the rooms were neat , and the pool was beautiful to look at

the so cold curfew, I mean why have guest if you are gonna treat them like school children, that needs to be in at 19h00. like we not paying to be there, it annoyed me to a point I had to cancel my trip and change the dates, because wow I can't be bulled into driving recklessly because I quote""" please be here before 19h00, because once the gate is closed its closed""" in my opinion if they can't run a lodge they should not run it period because that statement is unacceptable who is paying who here?

Nice place with beautiful surroundings and their breakfast was nice

The dogs made me uncomfortable..they should really try to keep them away from guests

An absolutely stunning guest lodge. Jan and Isabella are wonderful hosts and everyone working there goes out of their way to accommodate your every need. Rooms are spacious, crisp clean and furnishings of top quality. Breakfast is exceptional with a choice of cold meats, cheese, yogurt, fresh fruit cereal, muesli, muffins and also hot breakfast made to order with eggs, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes beans various bread choices with honey, preserves and butter to choose from. French press coffee, tea, etc. Boma area at one of the pools, has an honesty bar. Bush braai closeby for old years was awesome.

It was a really great place to stay. Especially the hosts, with whom we got on really well and who gave us lots of valuable tips for the rest of our trip. I would definitely recommend the accommodation, especially as it is only 10 minutes from the gate to the Kruger. All in all, it was really great!

Beautiful lodge with pools in Phalaborwa, freshly transformed with a lot of taste. We had the chance to get a room in the newly built house. The room was big and very stylish with a bed with mosquito net. We had dinner at the lodge. It was cooked by the owner with fresh local products. Delicious. The wines were also chosen with taste. Two friendly dogs are roaming in the property. It was our second stay at La Lechere. we will come a third time for sure.

All was great.

the rooms are so amazing, friendly staff and the service offered was absolutely tops. They offer breakfast till 9am daily but we would wake up later than that and still be catered for. I thought that was a really nice gesture of them.

as friendly as their dogs are, my wife couldn’t move around freely as dogs would just pop out anytime and she’s terrified by any dog big or small. I suggest guests should be alerted of the dogs prior to confirming booking as this was a non-refundable booking. Otherwise Zoe and Rosey are sweetest dogs
