Goed gelegen t.o.v. Addopark
Mogelijkheid om ‘s avonds daar te eten; wel een vaststaand menu.
Directe omgeving van de lodge heeft niets te bieden.
5.0
Alles sehr liebevoll gestaltet und man wird so herzlich empfangen. Alles wirkt sehr familiär und das Abendessen war sooo lecker! Einfach ein wunderbarer Ort zum entspannen! Der südliche Eingang zum Addo Nationalpark ist gleich in der Nähe. Wir waren eindeutig viel zu kurz dort!

Sehr gute Lage. wenn man über das Mathyloweni Gate in den Addo Elephant Park fahren möchte. Das afrikanische Buffet am Abend war sehr lecker. Personal super freundlich.
Aufgrund der kühlen Außentemperatur war es kalt im Zimmer. Aber es gab eine Heizdecke im Bett:)

De gastvrijheid en de lokatie vlak bij de zuid ingang van Addo. De foto's op de webpage deden geen recht aan de werkelijkheid. De verblijfsruimte was gezelliger en aangenamer dan op de foto's
Het buiten douchen in de kou! Ziet er leuk uit maar was niet prettig in de kou en regen.

Localização com certeza é o ponto forte. Funcionários muito atenciosos e comida muito bem preparada, deliciosa.
Quarto muito frio e como o banheiro não é fechado, passa frio no banho.

Top locatie, goede buiten douche, personeel in het restaurant deed erg hun best.
Het eten is niet niet zoals in een restaurant, maar je eet voor je gevoel bij iemand thuis. Met veel liefde voorbereid, maar je moet hier wel van houden.

De locatie is perfect ,de kamers en Complex zijn erg mooi.
Zwembad is meer dompelbad in schaduw hele dag en ijskoud water.
Dat viel erg tegen.
Toen wij er waren ( mei 2024) waren we 1 dag alleen en de andere dag wel 2 kamers bezet.
3sterren is denk ik redelijker
3.0
Lovely property with spacious rooms. Rooms are decorated beautifully and a pleasure to stay in. Location to Addo was also fantastic.
The food was not good, and very overpriced. If I were to stay here again, I would not be eating in the restaurant, I’d rather drive 30km to the nearest restaurant.

Lokatie tov Addo Elephant Park is ideaal. Leuke lokatie met kamers rondom middenpleintje.
Je kunt er ook warm eten. Oor sommigen is dat iets te zwaar.

Dicht bij Addo Elephant Park. Welkom gevoel bij aankomst en goed verzorgd tijdens ons verblijf.
Het zwembad is erg klein en lijkt meer op een vijver.

Sehr nette Inhaberin. Das Personal war super engagiert und nett. Das Frühstück war lecker. Wir hatten einen sehr kurzen Weg in den Addo Elephant Park. Die Unterlunft hatte eine Außendusche.

Die Lage der Anlage.
Die Herzlichkeit der Managerin, Samiona (ich hoffe der Name ist nun richtig 🤣 sie ist ein ganz ganz lieber Mensch und war stets um unser Wohlergehen bemüht.
Das Abendessen kann ich nur wärmstens empfehlen.
Es gab nichts auszusetzen, bis auf den kleinen Pool, der war nicht besonderes gepflegt.

Sehr gemütliches Hotel mit sehr hilfsbereiter Besitzerin und tollem Personal. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt
5.0
Superschönes Grundstück mit herzlichen Inhabern und ebenso Personal. Liegt nur maximal 2 km vom Eingang zum "Addo" entfernt.
Das im Vorfeld angebotene und gebuchte traditionelle, afrikanische 3 Gängen-Menue (380,-ZAR/Person) war leider enttäuschend. Für uns keine Auswahl, da viel zu geringes Angebot für die die anwesenden Personen. Letztendlich blieb für uns ein letztes Steak und Kartoffeln, ohne Gemüse und Nachschub gab es nicht.
3.5
Sehr nettes Personal und großräumige Zimmer. Die Außendusche war ein Highlight. Das Bett leider etwas zu klein, aber völlig ausreichend.
Etwas in die Jahre gekommene Ausstattung, was dem Charme des Hotels aber nicht schadet, da es authentisch ist.
4.0
Die Lage zum Addo-Park ist grandios, da man auf die gefährliche R335 verzichten sollte. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und bemüht, die Verpflegung mit Abendessen ist empfehlenswert.
Insgesamt etwas dunkel in den Zimmern durch die Anordnung des Hauptgebäudes.

owner was very friendly and made reservation for us for a game drive in a private park (we had to pay him partly in cash for that so we had to find a cash machine :-( and we could pay for the drive at the park with a credit card)
They have no coffee machine for cappuccino at the restaurant. The drinks at the bar was only limited choice.
The fact that we needed to pay in cash for the gamedrive advice was a bit dissapointed.

Friendly hosts and staff, beautiful scenery and great food.

Seamless arrival. Good recommendation for restaurant. Rooms well equipped. Unfortunately arrived with Load-shedding stage 6 just instituted.
For the warm breakfast, some more vegetarian/vegan options would've been nice for those who didn't eat eggs, bacon and sausages.
2.5
Managers were friendly.
Room was not cosy at all, aircon remote was removed, no gas heater or attempt to make it warmer in winter time!
Bedding was clean but "old" and washed out.
The common area was also very cold, we know it was winter, but for a 4 star guesthouse we expected more value for money. At least a heater etc.
If we compare this to other 4 star guesthouses we visited, it is not making the cut. Sorry.
We are not going to mention the dinner or the breakfast.
3.5
Room is spacious and well equipped. Dinner was absolutely delicious and large portions. Breakfast was also good and a variety of cereals, rusks and cook breakfast. Filter coffee and a variety of teas.

We booked a picnic basket with the stay expecting it to be as well organized as the accommodation but for R150 per person we got a dry sandwich, breakfast bar, very hard boiled egg wrapped in foil, small bag of big corn bites, small box juice & bottle of water. The stay and breakfast was great but rather buy something to eat from Nanaga farmstall than ordering a picnic from this place.

Good location near N2 and Addo Park
Room was cold at night. Breakfast and breakfast service a bit poor.
