"This is a superb establishment! It is everything it sets out to be. Our room was spacious, tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The food was simply superb, everything done to a T, exactly as ordered. All service was outstanding; warm, friendly and efficient. Interaction with the staff and proprietor was such a pleasure. These people really care for their guests and make them feel welcome and at home. We enjoyed a super three night stay and will not hesitate to return should we evervisit this beautiful part of South Africa again."

"Absolutely charming"

"Absolutely charming and staff were more than helpful and obliging. I feel the menu was ambitious for such a small hotel and choices could be fewer to ensure fresh produce would be utilized.

"Absolutely charming and staff were more than helpful and obliging. I feel the menu was ambitious for such a small hotel and choices could be fewer to ensure fresh produce would be utilized.

Establishment's response

In her otherwise very complimentary review Carol Mitchell seems to imply (probably unintentionally) that our produce could be fresher, which is far from true. We have a broad menu and we often serve upwards of 40 people with no problem at all. Our dishes are all cooked to order regardless of the number of diners and only fresh ingredients are used. We are well known countrywide for our good food. Should we ever feel that we are stretched by the size of the menu, we shall change it but for now we are entirely comfortable with the number of dishes on offer and the service associated with it."


"Relax at the Rissington"

(United States of America) Sarah Reincke

"We felt like we were in the lap of luxury(and the price was very reasonable)! The atmosphere, the service, the food, the lodgings and the property are excellent! If we are EVER in SA and near Hazyview, we will return to the Rissington Inn!"


"Rissington Inn is an exceptional place to stay"

(United States of America) Judie Fielstra

"More Time"

(South Africa) Derek Nutley

"Difficult to review Rissington Inn as we needed somewhere to stay close to the Kruger, so it was a more of a stop-gap. We turned up at around 5pm and checked out at 4:30am. However, if I was to ever chose a fantastic setting for a quiet and relaxing honeymoon/holiday, this would be the place. "

"Great place to stay"

"Rissington Inn is situated in a very beautiful place with marvellous garden, pool, restaurant, park, and view. We stayed two days in this very cosy, peaceful place. They gave us an upgrade, a suite in a beautiful house with all we could need.

There is a beautiful veranda and room in the inn where we had breakfast and dinner. The staff are very friendly, thank you for all. I recommend this place; very near to Kruger Park...all was perfect.

"The stay at Rissington Inn was exceptional. We really enjoyed the quiet surroundings and very friendly staff. The staff were so accommodating and provided everything we needed. The annual Skukuza half marathon was early on Saturday morning and the kind staff provided an awesome well balanced picnic basket for us early that morning. The food was top class, we enjoyed awesome dinners and breakfasts at Rissington Inn. A beautiful place to stay for the weekend with well looked after gardens and clean rooms. It was a pleasure to stay there. The friendly nature of the staff and the good food will definitely bring us back there next year. Thanks again."

In finnnish:
Kiva, tilava huone. Mukava henkilökunta. Hyvä sijainti lähellä Krugerin porttia. Negatiivistä oli huono tie perille ( 1km ). Yllätys olikin suuri, kun ei voinut odottaa näin laadukasta ja kivaa paikkaa tien päässä. Voin suositella."

"What an experience! It is so difficult for us South Africans to still see and appreciate the beauty of our country and hotels - since we are so used to relatively bad service, and low standards. But booking in at the Rissington made me a very Proud South African again. We do have places that can hold a candle to service and comfort against the best of the best in the world! The service was fantastic, and the rooms beautifully decorated and spacious.

Thank you - it was A great experience!"


"Excellent stay"

(South Africa) Mr Engelbrecht

"What a fantastic place to stay, the friendliest staff I ever came across and then there is also the wonderful view with a restaurant that provides a 5 star meal every time. It is the best place to stay for exploring the area. We would definitely recommend it to all our friends and family."


"Looking back to Rissington Inn"

"This is a wonderful place to stay. It is not cheap but the cottage was lovely. Although we slept in it with 4 persons, it was big enough and it has a lovely out-door shower. The big veranda was lovely to see the sun-downers. The view from there was so relaxed and beautiful.
The restaurant was in a nice and cozy place/building. The staff was sometimes a little bit reserved but all the way, good.
But the food was really excellent. We never had a better diner, especially the breakfast! GREAT. Compliments to the kitchen!! It was really a pleasure to stay and dine there.
We can recommend it to everyone, we hope we will come again..

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!"

(South Africa) Mr Waddell

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rissington Inn.

We were uncertain of what to expect as the booking was made on the internet. What a pleasant surprise. We really appreciated the "Personal" touches. Biscuits in the room were very nice. All staff very friendly. We will be back again.

"We spent 3 idyllic nights at Rissington Inn at the end of August 2006 with our young daughters (6 and 4) after a hectic time visiting family. It's always worrying booking over the internet but our expectations were exceeded in every respect... The old homestead & rooms are unobtrusively nestled in the bush veld and the homestead looks amazing at night when soft lighting draws you up to the restaurant and pub. Our room was HUGE and there was plenty of space for all 4 of us with 2 queen-sized beds and a lounge area as well as a private stoep.

We loved the outdoor shower and the Victorian bathroom is a lovely, romantic touch. The restaurant was exceptional: the food was home-made, hearty and beautifully cooked and presented. All the ingredients were top quality and attentive staff ensured that each meal was relaxing and enjoyable. We felt rested and rejuvenated after our few days at Rissington Inn and look forward to returning to our "home from home" in the near future."
