Bushveld Terrace Safari Hotel Lodge & Spa

I had my Birthday Lunch here. The communication throughout was amazing and they were really helpful in assisting me book and choose meals for my guests. The service was 100/10. Very kind, patient staff. The food was amazing, they prepared the table for us, allowed us to bring cake and serve it for no extra charge. I had to tip properly though, because why not?! This is my favourite restaurant in Phalaborwa, and they never disappoint.

We went to the restaurant here after driving through Kruger and it was really amazing. Initially we weren't sure if the price was worth it (I'd say you need R200 - R300 per person), because we randomly decided to try them out for the first time ever and sometimes trying out new places can be disappointing. Not here. The food was fantastic, the service was great and I have no complaints at all. We didn't end up sleeping here since we were a few short hours from home, but I don't doubt that it would be a good idea.

From the moment I arrived at Bushveld Terrace, I was greeted with genuine warmth by the friendly and attentive team. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable, offering everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Our dining experience was truly exceptional and became a highlight of the visit. This gem in Phalaborwa, right at the gate of Kruger National Park, is perfect for both a restful stay or a convenient stopover. A special thanks to the chef, who went out of his way to cater for my plant-based diet – his creativity and care resulted in absolutely delicious meals. I would highly recommend Bushveld Terrace to anyone, whether travelling for business or on a family holiday. The addition of the new shop was a lovely surprise too, offering a range of unique gifts we had not seen anywhere else nearby.
