Rooms

Accommodations at Rixile Kruger Lodge come as villas or luxury cottages. Each unit includes air conditioning, a private bathroom with a shower, and a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge, dishwasher, oven, microwave, and stovetop. You also get a coffee machine, a kettle, a seating area, a flat-screen TV, and a patio with garden views. Some bedrooms have both indoor and outdoor showers. Bedrooms in the villa are separate from the main living area.

Dining

Guests can cook their own meals using the kitchen-firewood, salt, pepper, and kitchen utensils are provided for the braai (barbecue). The nearby Kruger Gate Hotel (within walking distance) offers a restaurant for breakfast and dinner with buffet and à la carte options. The lodge also supplies a coffee machine and tea/coffee makers in all rooms.

Leisure & Entertainment

Rixile has an outdoor swimming pool (open all year, with a cover and towels), a garden, a sun terrace, an outdoor fireplace, a fire pit, and BBQ facilities. The property is within the secured Kruger Gate Hotel complex, so guests can use the hotel's pool and restaurant. Daily housekeeping is included.

Location & Transport

Rixile is located 13 km from Skukuza Indigenous Plants Nursery and a 5-minute drive from the Paul Kruger Gate entrance to Kruger National Park. It is also 42 km from Kruger Park Lodge Golf Club and 46 km from Sabie River. Skukuza Airport is 13 km from the property. There is free parking on site, and the access road is gated and secure.

Services

Host Clint provides personalized service, including early check-in, daily check-ins via message, and help with directions. He also offers car washing and laundry (including ironing) during your stay. The property has a keyless entry system, fire extinguishers, and is a non-smoking facility. The Kruger Gate Hotel's bar, restaurant, and pool are available for use (but not the gym).

“Its proximity to the Kruger Gate is undeniable, a five-minute drive that puts you right where you need to be for early safaris. The true advantage here, though, is the thoughtful design and the genuinely attentive care from Clint, who makes the bush feel both wild and incredibly welcoming. I particularly appreciated the seamless integration of the nearby hotel's amenities; it's a clever blend of private retreat and accessible comfort.”
