Location

The Stoep Cafe Guesthouse is just 10kms from the Kruger National Park’s Crocodile Bridge gate, 60kms from the Swaziland border and 10kms from the Mozambique Lebombo border post.

This makes it an ideal stop-over when trvelling to Mozambique/Swaziland or a base from which to explore the southern Kruger Park.

About the Stoep Cafe Guesthouse

Enjoy an old world atmosphere of one of the oldest railway houses in Komatipoort.

There is a lovely gift shop in the main house, a large communal area next to the swimming pool, with braai, table and seating area under thatch and there's space for cars, trailers or boats in a secure parking area.

Food & Drink

The guesthouse does have a fully licensed restaurant that is open from Monday-Saturday, 6am-9pm and Sundays from 8am-2pm. The restaurant is under new management and has excellent food and service.

You can, however, self-cater in the fully equipped kitchen in each room or braai (BBQ) near the pool area.

We ate dinner at two lovely restaurants in Komatipoort; our favorite was the one that is just across the road from them called the Tambarina Restaurant.

This has lovely Portuguese food and the service was fantastic. 

Prawns peri-peri!

We ate at Tambarina two nights in a row and once at Vonja's Restaurant, which is at the Ecolux Boutique Hotel. Food at Vonja’s was good but the service could have been a little faster and a smile from the waiter would have been nice.

"...the majority of images are really impressive, each chosen for a practical reason, sometimes annotated to stress a point.

The authors clearly know what they are doing. For decades they have mapped their sightings, and in explaining how they achieved their images, they’re sharing invaluable tips on understanding wildlife behavior, reading the signs and getting yourself in the best position for the shot. 
There is a phenomenal wealth of information here; real substance."

- Craig Rix, Editor,Travel Africa Magazine, UK

"It's 768 pages of the most amazing information. It consists of, well, everything really. Photography info...area info...hidden roads..special places....what they have seen almost road by road. Where to stay just outside the Park...camp information.
