Cresta Maun
Cresta Maun is a business-and-leisure hotel on the banks of the Thamalakane River, positioned as a gateway property for the Okavango Delta — 10km north of Maun's city centre and roughly 15 minutes' drive from Maun International Airport. It is one of eleven properties in the Cresta Hotels group, one of Southern Africa's leading hotel management companies with business and resort hotels across Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa (including sister property Cresta Riley's, also in Maun, and Cresta Mowana Safari Resort & Spa in Kasane). The hotel serves both corporate travellers and holiday guests heading into Botswana's game reserves.
Accommodation spans five room categories: Standard Twin and Standard Double rooms (19 sqm, air-conditioned, satellite TV, minibar), an Accessible Room (19 sqm, adapted for disabled guests), a Suite (45 sqm, queen bed and sitting area), and a Presidential Suite (65 sqm, king bed, sitting and dining area). Facilities include an environmentally sustainable grey-water garden, a fully equipped gym, and a swimming pool with river views adjoining the Mopohane Bar. Dining is at the Tswii Restaurant & Terrace (seats 40, buffet and à la carte, local and international dishes) and the Mopohane Bar (seats 40, snacks and drinks); both offer Wi-Fi.
As a conventional hotel rather than a bush camp, Cresta Maun also offers conference and events facilities, making it suitable for corporate groups transiting through Maun as well as leisure guests bridging city comforts with Delta access. Wildlife can occasionally be spotted along the river frontage from the hotel grounds.
