## Our read

Casterbridge is a town hotel that tells the truth about the drive. It sits in the lifestyle centre in White River, with 24 deluxe rooms and four family rooms, and the hotel says Kruger is about 30 minutes away. Dinner is at Magnolia, opposite the building. Come if you want the park in the morning and a real room at night. Skip it if you expected to be inside the fence.

## Come here for

- Kruger about 30 minutes away, on the hotel's line
- 24 deluxe rooms on the pool and gardens, or one of four family rooms
- Magnolia opposite the hotel, rather than a restaurant in the lobby

## Skip it if

- You wanted a lodge inside Kruger. This address is in White River.
- You wanted the resort on the R536 in Hazyview. That is a different town and a different hotel.

## The place

Casterbridge Hollow is the boutique hotel at the Casterbridge Lifestyle Centre in White River. The hotel's own line is that Kruger is about 30 minutes away. The page lists 24 deluxe rooms with views of the pool and gardens, and four family rooms with a king and two singles, plus interleading doors. Magnolia restaurant sits opposite the hotel, not inside it. The hotel phone is +27 13 751 3088. Reservations use a separate number. The page does not print a nightly rate. White River is the town you use when the park is the day and you do not want canvas. The shops and the hotel share the setting, dinner is across the way, and the gate is a drive in the morning. This is not a lodge inside Kruger. Someone who wanted a ranger at dawn and a tent should book the park. Someone who wants a proper room in White River, with the park about half an hour off, is looking at the right door. Reserve with the hotel. MindReach does not take the booking.
