Plussat: The staff is excellent and also the food

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff were incredibly warm, welcoming and very helpful. The guides were fantastic and their knowledge of the wildlife, astrology, biology, geology and the national park was outstanding. Incredible views from the Manor House that cannot be found elsewhere.

Luxurious and friendly. Meals well prepared and tasty. Wines excellent. Access complicated so follow emailed directions. Guides and drivers terrific. Scheduled game drives and meal schedule work very well. Pool terrific.

Miinukset: no negatives.

Plussat: great

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Wonderful view of the mountains. Cool design of rooms. Great food. Very friendly staff.

Plussat: Great stay (best stay we had at our vacation) Amazing views Wonderfull room Excellent staf Very good food (3 cours meal 325 rand)

Plussat: Camp Figtree was beautiful, I wish we could have spent more than one night! Staff were fantastic and the facilities were beautiful.

Plussat: The views are the most amazing we had on the whole trip. The staff is awesome and the food was very good as well. Can totally recommend to stay here - we totally wanna come back! Four stars is actually to less for the amazing camp! Other five star lodges are not as good as this one.

Plussat: Very nice place to stay and great food, the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Paths around could do with an upgrade with better lighting. Internet to rooms would be great as that’s where we want to use it rather than in the dining area.

Plussat: Perfectly positioned with beautiful views; rooms are well appointed.

Miinukset: Some of the staff are a bit overly familiar, even though the service is generally excellent.

Plussat: location & breathtaking view

Miinukset: Too expansive

Plussat: We enjoyed the friendly staff and great service

Miinukset: Very comfortable and clean, with beautiful garden.

Plussat: Everything was really nice, in a scruffy part of South Africa it was an oasis.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The accommodation is set in beautiful grounds and is within an easy drive to Addo Elephant Park. This was the perfect place to rest and I appreciated the swimming pool. The staff were wonderful.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Gerald's Git Guest House was all around perfect. The room was spacious with comfortable beds, a nice bathroom, and a nice little patio. Everything was clean and tidy. The whole site is so beautiful: it is a green garden full of nice smelling flowers, bushes and trees. Here you can watch and hear birds flying around, relax at the pool or play tennis. The staff was very welcoming and friendly and the breakfast very tasty. If you plan to visit Addo Elephant National Park, it's only 15 minutes by car. Staying here has its price but it's absolutely fair and worth the money!

Miinukset: Nothing to complain about

Plussat: The general ambience which is backed up by beautifully maintained gardens. The accommodation is understated luxury. The staff are exceptional. The breakfast is excellent and the separate restaurant on the property that essentially serves residents only is of a high standard and serves varying fixed menus with good quality food.

Miinukset: There is nothing not to like, but note that there is not TV in the rooms. Not that you need this though as the place lends itself to being a retreat from the day to day humdrum.

Plussat: Large room with great bedding and beautiful gardens

Miinukset: No tv in the room

Plussat: Dry close to Addo Lovely dinners and breakfast Friendly staff

Plussat: Perfect Location, best service, super architecture, high class food, very cosy, just perfect. They even washed our car in the morning. And Archie made bbq dinner unforgettable.

Miinukset: nothing negative, had the time of our life.

Plussat: It’s extremely peaceful and beautiful What an excellent holiday

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Beautiful rooms with breathtaking views, extremely welcoming and helpful staff, great safaris both in Addo & Schotia. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Plussat: A lovely country lodge in the middle of nowhere - definitely need a car but we stayed here so we could visit Addo Elephant Park about a 25 minute drive away. The room was comfortable - had an outside shower! Dinner was a 4 course meal each evening and breakfast was buffet style - all excellent food.

Miinukset: The only downside to dinner each evening was the fact that it was a 4 course set menu - too much to eat but there was always a veggie option if you didn't like what was on offer.

Plussat: If you want to experience Elephants at Addo and be spoiled with great food and wine, stay at Hitgeheim. Beautifully located with stunning views the attentive staff will make you feel at home. Game drives can easily be booked directly with Hitgeheim and you won't have to worry about a thing. We'd definitely come back!

Plussat: The lodges are extremely impressive with inside and outside showers, beds that are very comfortable and amazing views which you can see for miles. The dinners there were delicious with 4 courses each night! You certainly will not go hungry! The staff are always keen to help you with any request and they’re always very smiley and polite. The wildlife around the property is staggering with zebras, monkeys, springbok, birds, insects! The main pool was nice and refreshing in the heat and the grounds of the property is well kept. Really worth staying here if you’re coming to Addo!

Miinukset: The only thing I could say would be that we paid for a lodge with a private pool however the private pool was very cloudy and on the green side so we didn’t use it. The main pool was nice and clear blue though.

Plussat: Best service and facilities. Nature retreat. Friendly staff and delicious meals.

Plussat: We had a Deluxe Double Room for 3 nights and the room / bath and outdoor shower were just great! (I would not recommend to book a room with own pool because this is not much bigger than a bath-tub!) We enjoyed the dinner and the excellent services provided by William. The safari through Addo (Thanks to our guide Soul!!) was impressive. We also booked the Schotia Evening Safari which was even better! While we think the evening menu is quite expensive, the Wine and other drinks are definitely not! And compared to other Lodges, the overall price is also reasonable!

Plussat: Lovely rooms and beautiful site! The staff were all incredibly helpful! The tour organised by the hotel to Addo Elephant Park was wonderful - highly recommend!

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Farm is nearby Addo park. The farm area itself is also very well maintained and looks nice.

Miinukset: The self catering cottage is in need of a renovation. We also recommend to make braai packages available, as they are difficult to get in the area. While we were looking forward to use the braai we weren't able to do so. Eating on site is OK, but expensive as compared to other hotels we stayed.

Plussat: Self catering room was spacious, modern, clean with everything you might need. Staff were very friendly from the moment we booked!

Miinukset: Was perfect!

Plussat: We stayed for 2 nights in the middle of October. We were using it as a base to visit the Addo elephant park which is a short drive away. Our lodge was at the front of the property near the water, a lovely setting with birds all around. The main room was large with a kitchen area. It was clean and very comfortable with parking outside the door. We had chosen a room only price but still had one breakfast and one dinner during our stay, both of which were good but not cheap. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and even printed our boarding cards for the trip home. There is a pool which we tried but still a bit chilly at this time. The whole area is citrus farms which makes a lovely setting

Plussat: Beautiful upgraded rooms - spacious

Miinukset: Well kept garden

Plussat: The room was pleasant. Bathroom was very nice.

Miinukset: The lack of room Wifi was disappointing. Nothing is within walking distance from the premesis. Price was too high for our opinion.

Plussat: This was a return visit, it is a truly lovely place, nice pool, good food... This time, we also booked an Addo guided half day game drive with The Old Drift's Igna, a fabulous game ranger sharing heaps of interesting facts and figures! Highly recommend both the place and the game drive xxx

Plussat: Very friendly and welcoming staff.

Miinukset: Adjoining (?) property behind the dining room looks ugly/untidy like a big construction zone.

Plussat: The relax environment in combination with the lovely staff and the delicious food!!

Plussat: Excellent location. Excellent view from room.

Plussat: The setting in the park is both scenic and restful. Opportunity to spot grazing zebras and playful monkeys as well as birdwatching from our patio was wonderful. We were greeted upon arrival by our gracious host Wayne. Our guided game drives with Ranger Darlington simply the best! Previously, we had participated in other game drives but they cannot be compared to the enthusiasm, knowledge and insights provided by Ranger Darlington during our recent stay at River Bend. Overall, the food was well prepared and delicious. The wine service was very nice! Special mention to Temwani who offered wine recommendations and thoughtful conversation. He is engaging and an asset to the River Bend team! Moses and Sean were outstanding in the dining room, serving the stellar offerings from Chef Siya and his team in the kitchen.

Miinukset: Nothing at all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at River Bend!

Plussat: An amazing place, a fantastic room and a super staff to create a wonderful experience at the River Bend Lodge. We've been welcome by Wayne and thanks to Darlington we had the opportunity to see lots of animals (Lions, elephant, anthilop, buffalos, zebra etc). He is so expert that literally brought us at the top of the world to have a beer with plenty of buffalos. An amazing sunset experience!! During the dinner we had a wonderful wine testing and a great dinner too. Finally, really a awesome experience thanks to the people working at thud lodge. Surely we'll be there again

Miinukset: Everything was perfect

Plussat: From the beginning till the very end! The staff are literally 10/10, they can’t do enough for you. Our room was cleaned multiple times a day. The food was also incredible! This is by far the best place I have stayed! Watching the wildlife around you as you eat is something so surreal! As for the game drives and location I couldn’t speak any higher! This was all undoubtedly the best experience of my life! Our driver Darlington has so much knowledge of the park and the wildlife in the park he made the drives so much fun! I will definitely be returning in the near future to Riverbend and will recommend them to everyone!

Miinukset: I couldn’t say a bad word about Riverbend. This was luxurious, fun, adventurous, relaxing all in one!

Plussat: Breakfast was great. staff Location Serenity

Miinukset: Bathrooms need updating. Fish course at dinner was not good

Plussat: First of all the service is absolutely amazing, You are treated like royalty. Food is good, and the room is big and well equipped. Then there were the game drives. Our guide was super nice and helpful and knowledgeable. We saw some really amazing things there. We travelled with children, a 1 year old and a 4 year old, and we had the best time there.

Miinukset: It’s really expensive...

Plussat: We stayed at a bush cabin and found everything we needed: great view, fully equipped kitchen with fire place for bbq, outdoor bathroom and a peaceful pool area next to the lapa. The drive to Addo is about 15 minutes. We would definitely book again!

Plussat: Excellent service, great breakfast, ten minutes driving distance to Addo Park, super recommendations for dinner and animal watching spots in Addo! Thanks!

Plussat: Great location, beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Chalet very comfortable and well equipped. Welcoming and friendly staff

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Just fabulous-if planning to go to Addo National Park stay here in a dung beetle hut and go out out with Rod to Safari!

Miinukset: Nil

Plussat: Lovely hosts. Very quirky but enjoyable dung beetle accommodation, something completely different. Loved watching and listening to all the different birds. Fab breakfast.

Plussat: Fabulous location, nice and close to the main gate of Addo. Super friendly staff, who were very helpful with anything you need. Great cabins, clean and all facilities you need. Nice and private, each with their own space.

Plussat: We received a warm welcome by our hosts. The chalet we had booked was very spacious and well equipped. Breakfast was excellent, big fruit salad, hot breakfast of choice and excellent muffins.

Miinukset: Although we greatly enjoyed our stay, there are a few points we would recommend improving: The water smelt a little bit strange, we are not sure whether this is due to the fairly remote location and the water being in tanks or something like that, but maybe worth looking at. Breakfast is delicious, but is only served from 8-9, as Addo opens earlier it could make sense to start a bit earlier? Whirlpool could do with a little touch up, we had been looking forward to it but didn’t really feel like going in when we saw it.

Plussat: Everything, it was perfect. The place, the staff and the location. We enjoyed our stay

Miinukset: The 2 km gravel road from the main road to the guest farm is not well maintained but it is still ok. Small cars struggle a bit

Plussat: Breakfast was really nice and everyone on staff great to chat to. Very professional

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Amazing hosts, very good Dinner and Breakfast and a "feel at home" atmosphere. The Addo NP is really just a few minutes away and you get good recommendations. We especially loved the part of Addo right at the coast (Pearson Private Reserve)!

Plussat: We loved it here. The room was basic, but the staff was amazing. Very friendly, helped us with everything. Also, the food was good abd the atmosphere was amazing. They had a cozy fire, where we sat and taljed after dinner. When we arrived we could take a walk through the propery, where we saw zebras. It was amazing, would come here again! (Also, I loved the dogs!)

Miinukset: The room is very basic, and the warm water in the shower takes a long time until it's hot.. But it had everything we needed!

Plussat: personal attention, caring hosts. it‘s a family business, they let you be part of it. name your problem, they have your solution. the set up is not luxurious, but the personal touch more than compensate. everything you need, it‘s there!

Miinukset: you get your money‘s worth.

Plussat: Staff very nice. Kudu Ridge is something special, near nature, dogs and zebras around the house. Liked the fireplace and open atmoshere they created at their guest house.

Miinukset: No wifi in the chalet.

Plussat: Kudu Ridge is such a nice place to stay. Everything was just great: the food, the atmosphere, the surrounding, the people. We had a great time and the game drive in Addo with Alex was amazing - he's very nice and caring and has a very good knowledge about the animals, the nature etc. Also Brian and his wife were so nice and relaxed! Thank you so much guys! Christian & Jasmin

Miinukset: Everything was perfect. Nothing to complain about!

Plussat: breakfast good. Dinner exceptional

Miinukset: chalet only have the basics like bed wardrobe, kettle with cups. no microwave

Plussat: Staff / hosts were friendly. The game drive with Alex was very very good. This was definitely the highlight of our stay there. The place is nicely located near the Addo Elephant park. Food was good.

Miinukset: Very basic rooms. Especially the beds could be renewed and some hooks to hang clothes would be good as well. There was nothing to put your stuff on besides the beds and a little table. Bathroom smelled a bit. You hear your neighbors very well.

Plussat: We loved waking up to the birds singing and walking the grounds. A highlight was eating breakfast in the lapa with the sun shining in.

Plussat: The friendliness of all of the staff, the grounds, atmosphere and the overall homely feel. We loved our stay here. They booked a safari for us, added on another night all at no hassle at all. We will defiantly be recommending this to friends and family. What a great place :)

Plussat: Nice owners, great breakfast and dinner, close to Addo Elefant NP and other game reserves

Plussat: Loved the style of the bungalows - the layout with the swimming pool and the birdsong every morning.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Bedrooms were huge and beds super comfy. Each bedroom was in a hut type style but had veranda as well. Did half day safari to addo using criss cross from Christina.Brutus our guide very good and knowledgeable. Found half day tour sufficient ( 41/2 hrs approx). Terrain at addo means you’ll see loads of elephant but might struggle seeing lions or hyena..

Miinukset: Nothing all good

Plussat: Very nice hotel! The rooms (African cabins) are very picturesque, very pretty and well furnished. Very good location of the hotel to visit the Addo Parc. The meals offered in the evening are very good. Friendly and welcoming staff.

Miinukset: A little bit disappointed by the breakfast. Only toast bread while in the evening they serve fresh and excellent bread. I would have liked to have found such good bread in the morning.

Plussat: Friendly hosts, excellent breakfast, nice room.

Plussat: Beautiful grounds, comfortable accommodation and a good hearty breakfast. Super friendly couple with two labs running the joint! There’s a very ‘colonial’ feel about the place. Worth the effort to get there!

Miinukset: Self catering cooking utensils were a little too basic! It really is in the boondocks, so if arriving on a late flight, the drive from Port Elizabeth (in the dark) took us through a pretty scary looking P.E. suburb!

Plussat: This is a lovely place about 20 kilometers from the ADDO national park. A working citrus farm with large beautiful grounds and a lovely pool makes this place extra special. The hosts are friendly and warm. They are also quite knowledgeable about the area and gave us great suggestions about restaurants, cafes and what else to do in the area...besides visiting the national park which was top on our list. Bonus is that they are also right next to Adrenalin Addo where you can zip line. We enjoyed staying here and the breakfast was small but sufficient and cozy. The self catering facilities are great though we did not really get to use them...just a great option to have.

Miinukset: The drainage in our bathoom and kitchen was not great and the shower flooded the bathroom, whilst the kitchen sink took too long to drain water. I am also allergic to cats and mould and got really itchy and wheezy on the third night. Please check room/s for allergens if you can.

Plussat: The room certainly exceeded our expectations- we stayed in the clemantine room, and the size was great, the shower was lovely (with a sliding door to the outside) and the bed was huge :)

Plussat: Loved the hospitality. Neeta & her husband were so warm and welcoming. We stayed just a day but it was lovely and wished we had stayed longer. Neeta had so many stories to share from their India trip and I had no idea she loved our food so much otherwise I would have definitely cooked something for her. May be next time. The citrus farm is love, the rooms are nice, and Addo national park is a 30 min drive from the place. Highly recommended.

Miinukset: Nothing. Wish had stayed a day longer

Plussat: Happylands is situated in a nice, remote countryside with a beautiful garden. Our room was equipped with everything we needed with a nice veranda to relax. The breakfast was also delicious. The absolute highlight was the organised full day Safari to Addo. Our guide Emmanuel did such a great job in spotting animals, giving us a lot of background infos and preparing a delicious Braai. Thank you for this awesome experience!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The breakfast was great. The dogs and the cat were so sweet. The view was stunning. The place is so nice with a lot of space to go with children. When we went early in the morning for safari to addo, we could get breakfast for take away! It was a pleasant stay, we would go back!

Miinukset: The toilet smells a litle bit strange and the trashbin was very small for our family. We ordered meals for the first day,there are no restaurants of shops nearby, but we thought that was very expensive ( 40 euro) . For the rest our stay was great!!!

Plussat: The restaurant at Hopefield is wonderful, we loved taking dinner here as well. Breakfast was scrumptious. Close to the Addo park, and they set up a game drive for us. Filled with antiques and pianos, Hopefield also has immaculately groomed grounds with flowers and trees. Loved it!

Plussat: The hotel is a rare find and got character. The staff and their attitude were outstanding. Highly recommend if you plan to visit the Addo nationalpark.

Miinukset: The internet / wifi stability was weak throughout the hotel and in our room the WiFi signal varied from non-existence to very weak.

Plussat: Further it was fine

Miinukset: Bad smell in the room.

Plussat: The breakfast was outstanding as were the beautiful gardens. The room and the bathroom were very spacious. A beautiful and charming house with interesting furniture, art and collectibles. The accommodation is a few kilometers away from ADDO elephant park assuring you of a nice and quiet environment.

Miinukset: There were a few small things that could improve. In general we had a very pleasant and comfortable stay. I will contact the owner directly to point out the few small points that could ad to make this the perfect venue.

Plussat: Best hotel ever on the Garden Route! Nice place, beautiful and comfortable rooms, great breakfast as well! Everything absolutely perfect, no complaints at all! Worth it a long stay...

Miinukset: Liked everything!

Plussat: The grounds were stunning and the house contained a fascinating collection of musical memorabilia and photographs. The staff couldn't have been more helpful.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Exceptional accommodation with very stylish rooms, beautiful decor and spectacular garden, and the swimming pool. The staff was very attentive, the breakfast was very tasty and it's only 15' drive from Addo Central entrance. It has a grocery shop in the area and a very delicious restaurant at the property. You could find another restaurant in the area. The garden is beautiful and the whole place is full of charm! It's hidden germ and it makes your stay in the area so much better. The car was washed every day, that was a bonus! Thank you for having us, we were very lucky to discover this place!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The food was really delicious and the staff was helpful and always super friendly

Miinukset: The standard rooms are quite old, the bathtube in middle of the room.

Plussat: Location perfect to visit Addo Park. A beaitiful room, clean and with good beds. Had a good diner and breakfast, The atmosphere was a bit weird to us. Seperate tables, very quiet, bit ‘stiff’. But loevly food and service. No comment on that. We did not see the owner, only the staff.

Miinukset: Location, food and good beds

Plussat: Friendly staff and great atmosphere.

Plussat: The silence, the room, especially the bathroom, food and friendly staff.

Plussat: The twin rooms we had were located in a small house located uphill, they were vast and clean. The bathrooms are well equipped with a bath and a shower, and even an outdoor shower that we could not use, being winter. The lobby and its well appreciated fireplace was a real pleasure. The choice of meals at the breakfast and dinner buffets was great, the food was superb and the wine choice was well thought with high quality wines at reasonable price.

Miinukset: Visiting an hotel of this standard at the cold season we could have expected some heat in our rooms. The floor heating did not really work and the AC could only supply cold air ... As a result it was freezing cold in our rooms. The dinner buffet was rather expensive we thought (1400 Rands for 4 with wine) : the food is generous, diverse, very well cooked and presented and is what you expect in a mountain hotel but you cannot say it is fine cuisine. Last thing, the hotel management would in all respect gain in being a bit less stiff and distant with the guests.

Plussat: Zuurberg Mountain Village is positioned high in the mountains near the Addo Elephant Park. It has a relaxed family feel and we enjoyed the evening buffet after visiting Addo.

Plussat: The room was beautiful and clean and we were welcomed with champagne on ice which was lovely.

Miinukset: One thing I didn't like was that there was no curtains on the shower which is usually fine but one morning the man mowing the lawn saw me naked when he went past. It really isn't an issue with me but might be something to look at.

Plussat: The staff was extremely friendly and took really good care of us. We asked for a late check out and they told us we could stay until 7 pm if we like to -without charging anything! The room was big, clean and had nice furniture. The view was good and the pool-size was good. Breakfast and dinner were also fine.

Miinukset: It is an old hotel and there seem to be technical problems especially with the waterdrains. The sauna is also quite old and it would have been nice if they removed the cobwebs from time to time. But they didn’t charge us for the sauna although it’s normally not included in the room rate - so that was very nice!

Plussat: They make the BEST food imaginable, be prepared to eat way too much! The fireplace in the main reception area is beautiful and the hotel is very charismatic. Great kids outdoor play area and a beautiful pool with a view

Miinukset: The weather !!! It was freezing cold, but that's is not their fault!

Plussat: We arrived at nothing less than perfect, meticulous in the little things, incredible views, location of the apartment on the river, waking up with the sounds of the birds. The person in charge of the apartment - Avram, knew how to provide outstanding service, was nothing short of perfect and breakfast. highly recommend.

Plussat: The silence of the nature. The house is a neighbour if the Addo parc.

Plussat: Cozy and clean room. Staff was super friendly and helpful. You could use the kitchen and the dining area as well. We felt like home :)

Plussat: Vicky, the einer, is super friendly. She just lives around the corner. We were the only guests so we had the whole house for us. You are allowed to use the kitchen, watch tv, do everything you would do at home. Nice, clean rooms, good wifi, close to Addo! Definitively a recommedation!

Miinukset: My friend did not like the hard mattress in the bed. I slept perfectly though.

Plussat: The host Vicky was very helpful with organising activities (especially on very short notice) and she went out of her way to make my stay as comfortable as possible and she always took time explaining everything regarding the guest house but also in terms of exploring the area. And on top of that I got an upgrade and had a huge room with big terrace right in the nature.Thank you very much

Plussat: We just loved our stay!! Vicky is an amazing host, taking such good care of us. On arrival Vicky gave us a perfect introduction what to see/do in the area as well as in the Addo Elephant Park. The park entrance is just a few minutes’ drive away, couldn't be more perfect. The Southern part of the elephant park is less frequented and we saw most of the animals spotted exactly there. Coming back home to our family cottage we enjoyed the very relaxing atmosphere at Vicky's place, the house is fully equipped and you will find everything you need! The attention to details was highly appreciated, the beds are super comfy and the house is spotlessly clean. Vicky is available anytime not only in person but also on whatsapp, which we appreciated a lot. Also her recommendation for a nearby restaurant was superb, we couldn't have a better choice! The premises are very save and also parking is secured. But the highlight was Vicky's phenomenal effort to organize a birthday breakfast celebration for my father - she organized a birthday cake with candles and decorated the breakfast room with balloons - my father was over the moon! We can only say thank you so so much dear Vicky, we will definitely come back and give you only the highest recommendations! Big hugs to you!

Plussat: The location was good. It was near the Addo Elephant Park and we got some good information about the park and important information about the supermarket/restaurants as well. The host is helpfull.

Miinukset: The guest house is very noisy so both mornings we were awake at 6/6.30u because the other guests were leaving early of were having breakfast and we could hear them and the host quite loudly. The host told us in advance but it's something you have to take into account when you're a light sleeper. In our opinion, there wasn't that much privacy at the accommodation because the host was present all the time which is not necessary, because she lives next door. (for example when waiting for new guests or during breakfast) It's a good thing to be helpful to your guests, but a good host also needs to know when to leave guests alone at their accommodation during their holiday. It sometimes felt like we were in her own house instead of the guesthouse. Some people may like it when the host is around/to have much contact, but for us it was a bit uncomfortable.

Plussat: Great breakfast

Miinukset: Location

Plussat: Vicky who ran the Guest House was fantastic. I had a lot of communication from her before we got there with details on Addo, other trips, Farm stalls near by. We decided to have food at the accommodation which was very reasonable and tasty, including wine. The property backs onto Addo is a 5 minute drive to the entrance. I don't think there is much to do nearby but we didn't go out at night so I couldn't comment

Miinukset: Nothing. Everything was good.

Plussat: Our cottage was huge and beautiful, the view was magnificent.

Miinukset: The dogs, Lana and Simba are friendly, but we would rather not had to deal with them the whole time.

Plussat: Beautiful location and views. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice breakfast. Recommended nearby restaurant very good. Close to excellent Addo Elephant Park.

Miinukset: All was fine.

Plussat: Spacious apartment

Miinukset: The staff doesn't seem to care about the guests at all. Some points: - The swimming pool is dirty. There are plenty of men working around the apartments, but somehow the swimming pool has no priority whatsoever. When I asked the manager if I could take a swim, she said that she would have someone clean the pool (never happened). See pictures. Interestingly, they decided to put on the sprinklers for watering the garden during the day. This way we were not able to get to the apartment or the swimming pool without getting wet. The receptionist noticed this and did not take action. - The apartment was freezing cold (September) and we could not get the heating in the apartment to work. After asking the reception we were told that the guest before us had broken the heating and that that someone would come the next day to fix the heating (we never heard anything again and the next day the heating was still broken). - by the way, better save up your laundry for another place, since Kududu charges quite a lot for taking care of your laundry (16 ZAR per pair of trousers).

Plussat: Great, spacious cottage Friendly personel

Miinukset: 2 of the dogs which roamed the farm were rather jumpy, which was not ideal with a 1 year old child

Plussat: Super clean and comfy. Staff most welcoming and caring

Miinukset: Dining area a bit sad and dinners not amazing but the staff makes up for it

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: WiFi in Room 1 was very poor

Plussat: The owner of the guesthouse was very friendly and helpful. We even got a breakfast package when we left the house to early for safari. We felt so comfortable!

Plussat: Spacious room, large balcony.

Miinukset: Pool wasn’t clean, braai wasn’t clean, and on top there was bat poop in one bed.

Plussat: Our stay of 3 nights was great. We booked dinner upon arrival, which was delicious homemade venison pie. For the second and 3rd night, we went out for dinner. The rooms are amazing with a great view and the poolside is lovely to relax. There are a lot of comments about the road towards Kududu. They send information on how to get there upfront. And it takes you about 10/15 minutes from Addo centre. The gravel road is not so horrible as everyone is saying. It's OK, even in dark. And there are tiny shops in the neighborhood to at least get some water, bread and peanut butter if you need it. The larger supermarket is a bit further away.

Miinukset: If you plan to go once per day to Addo park, then I would definitely recommend Kududu. It's a 25 minutes drive. We had a 2-year-old who's still sleeping during the day. So we had to go back and forth 2 times.

Plussat: Very nice place to stay; Huge rooms. Warm greetings.

Miinukset: Don't follow google map to go there.
