Beautiful location. The staff can't do enough for you. It's lovely seeing the kudu and warthog wandering around the chalets. Great food and excellent service. Highly recommend the day game drive with Trevor. Honestly worth the money - wouldn't have seen half as many animals on my own!

The room was stunning and spacious and the outdoor shower a great feature. It was clean and all the little bits were greatly appreciated like the coffee station and tv. The giraffe game drive was fantastic and the dinner and restaurant really good value

“A fantastic lodge highly recommendable!!”
A fantastic lodge, surrounded by animals, with an exceptional service (and attention to details like all the flowers on our beds) - with obviously the 17 reserve giraffes you can feed during a morning game drive!

“Would stay here again!”
The staff? Excellent. The chalet? Spacious and beautiful. Food? Delicious. We rented a small Suzuki Swift and even if the roads were not paved, it was okay.

“Wonderful lodge on the outskirts of Addo Elephant park”
The lodge was about 45 mins from Addo Elephant park in its own reserve with animals walking wild , amazing to see giraffes and wart hogs and deer outside your room in the morning. We stayed in two different rooms but the king suite tent was amazing. Large tent style room with outside (and inside shower) very comfy bed , aircon and outside seating. You felt totally secluded. Bar restaurant was fabulous and food was excellent with a great fruit and cooked breakfast every day. Pool area was relaxing and the grounds impeccable, clean and well kept. Mike behind the bar and Kela and the rest of the staff were brilliant, theycouldn’t do enough for you. The safari drive to Addo was great and our guide Owen was so helpful. Can’t say how lovely this place was.
