“Can't think of anything more to add to the above. Well done Barnstormers - you're great!”
The breakfast choices were very good and well prepared. Particularly liked the omelettes! Really we had no complaints about anything and would certainly recommend you to friends. Location was good and easy to reach Kruger.

“Heavenly stay near Kruger National park”
We stayed in a Family room with two bedrooms. There was even a separate toilet with the full bathroom as well. The rooms were beautifully decorated with lovely wallpaper. Had everything I needed, even hairdryer and proper space to put on my make up. The staff was amazing, always nearby and ready to help. loved the small details eg. chocolate on my pillow. The breakfast was delicious and had so many things to choose from. There is braai facilities available as well for the eager braai enthusiast. Will definitely be back and never stay inside Kruger National Park again, as this place is 5mins from the gate. The comfortable beds made it hard to get up early to go for game drives. This place is a must!

“Best stay near kruger national park ever”
the breakfast was amazing, so many things to choose from. Loved the room, had everything we needed, enough fresh towels and huge bathroom. Such comfortable beds, felt as if I was in my own bed. The room was tastefully decorated and the chocolates on my pillow at night was the highlight. The staff was so friendly and helpful, felt as if I had known them a long time. Will never stay in Knp again if I can stay here.

“The hostess was so welcoming and accommodating. I highly recommend the Barnstormers!”
We had an entire apartment for our family, with access to the garden, and our own table outside. It was lovely having so much space for the kids. The breakfast the next morning was freshly prepared, according to each person's request. The kids loved the huge selection of cereals and muffins.
