Perfect place to explore Addo

Amazing place to explore Addo from. Easy to drive to from Port Elizabeth and great to use Crisscross adventure for game drives. Really well kept rooms and lots of really nice areas for sitting around the place. Their breakfast and dinner were excellent with great food in a very calm atmosphere. We had an amazing stay.

My best stayin a logde (2025)

On arrival... orientation was done excellently by Thenjiwe. The staff at reception very friendly and always willing to assist. Dinner services, the waitresses. There is one I think the name starts with S and has a v in it. Wow...I'm still speechless. I am highly pregnant but your place is also pregnancy safe. Loved the meals. Kitchen staff during breakfast superceded my expectations This place has tranquility and it's very peaceful. I enjoyed my birthday guys. From the bottom of my heart, thank u very much for everything.
