Overall Ratings & Reviews Sunbird Lodge

We stayed at the Sunbird Lodge for 3 nights, and it was very peaceful and quiet. It had two twin beds, a set of bunk beds, small kitchenette, television, air conditioning, desk and chair, as well as outdoor patio. The pool was clean and extremely warm, but refreshing. The outside area was well maintained and staff was always busy keeping it that way. The common area had a bar (honor system) and rooftop patio with comfortable furniture. The breakfast area was beautifully arranged and we enjoyed the large fish tank. The breakfast was delightful, as well as delicious and made to order. There was plenty to choose from. The staff, especially the hosts deserve recognition for such warm hospitality and recommendations. Dave made Safari reservations for us and our guide was simply the best. The restaurant recommendation was wonderful so we eat there 3 times! We would not hesitate to stay there again and highly recommend. Thumbs up to Sunbird Lodge! Thank you!

What an amazing gem in Phalaborwa. Host was super friendly and on point with everything. The rooms were spotless nothing was spared on attention to detail. I would highly recommend any traveler to this Guesthouse.

Very attractive and comfortable

it was great

The owners are wonderful. The rooms are great, lovely grounds and a first rate breakfast. I've stayed here twice and both times have been great!

Beautiful gardens and a very friendly host. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Very hospitable, welcoming, breakfast excellent Only problem mould in shower cubicle

Clean rooms, but very basic. Excellent breakfast. Is however expensive for what you get.

Quiet, peaceful setting with beautiful grounds. Rooms are large, clean and very private. Has pool and bbq area. We were warmly welcomed by Dave our host, who, along with his wife, Sam, was extremely helpful throughout our stay. All of his recommendations panned out as promised. We stayed there as a base to explore Kruger Park. Great experience!

Sunbird is a wonderful B&B with gracious hosts, beautiful grounds including a fab swimming pool and quiet rooms. Breakfast was 5 star. We had a 2 night stay 6 of us as we toured Kruger. Recommend it.

I always stay at Sunbird Lodge when visiting Phalaborwa. Truth be told there is honestly no point looking for anywhere else. Large room with private veranda, fridge, tea & coffee, cable TV, private bathroom (shower only) secure parking.

My family and I spent a night at Sunbird Lodge after leaving the Kruger National Park. The Lodge is ideally suited for exploring the park as it is situated just outside the park's Phalaborwa Gate. The owners are charming and very welcoming and gave us a thorough explanation of both the property and the surrounding area. The rooms are spacious and well equipped and the showers are excellent. The property has a pool, bar area and pretty gardens and you can sit on the patio outside your room and enjoy a drink at the end of a day's exploring. The breakfast is hearty and delicious and starts the day off well. This property represents excellent value for money and I would highly recommend it to anybody visiting the area.

Great position on the edge of town. Easy access to town. Great reception. Comfortable room. Great breakfast

Overall nice place. Clean and comfortable rooms, pool, and quick access to Kruger national park.

Excellent

Thanks for all!

Overall it was great. Only issue was at checkout the concierge booked our taxi earlier than we requested. Just a minor inconvenience in an otherwise wonderful hotel with good service.

Our host could not have been more welcoming and efficient and the property was beautifully prepared. Unfortunately, the town of Phalaborwa was hit by a severe storm the day before our arrival which resulted in considerable damage to the area. Nevertheless, our host had worked hard to minimize the effect on our stay.

Loved staying here with easy access to Kruger park. The owner was so helpful and friendly!

Really no point in looking at other accommodation in Phalaborwa. Very pleasant and friendly hosts and staff. Large comfortable room, DSTV, fridge, air-con, large shower (pressure good but would change the shower head to a rainfall) Large gardens with all types of birds, squirrels as well, secure parking and centrally located. Good breakfast and Honesty bar. Highly recommended.
