location was great, dinner and breakfast was great. Personnel is great. We booked a trip to Addo in the accomodation and this was great. Can recommend, the guide Shane was great. Food was delicious and all personnel takes good care of you. The lodge has all needed and great look out over the country side.

Gem so close yet so far from the busy city lights

I loved the attention to detail, the outside yet private shower is a nice touch 👌. Ooow almost forgot the food, Chef Nelly cooks really good food.

Would have loved to see some animals roaming around. We took a walk to the campsite and still couldn't spot even an impala.

Tolle Erfahrung

Fantastische Lage. Wir haben sowohl die großen Ganztagessafari in Addo als auch die 2 Stunden Safari auf dem Charihandragrundstück gebucht und waren mehr als zufrieden. Es gibt vorort eine zahme Giraffe, die man füttern kann. Insgesamt SUPER

Der Pool ist klein, eher für Kinder und zum Abkühlen der Füße. Das Abendessen ist lecker, aber etwas überschaubar bei großem Hunger.

Erneuter Besuch nach 5 Jahren so gut wie das letzte mal

Tolle poolanlage, große Lodge mit Terrasse zum Sterne schauen. Nah am Main Gate des Addo elephant Park.

Uns hat es nicht gestört, aber wer nächtliche Geräusche und Geflatter von Fledermäusen in der Unterkunft nicht möchte, sollte nicht buchen

Absolute Empfehlung!

Die Unterkunft ist einfach nur zu empfehlen. Bestes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, das ich jemals hatte, sehr freundliches Personal und einfach eine unglaubliche Lage! Die Chalets sind sehr gemütlich und auch wenn das Bad etwas veraltet war, so hat es in keinster Weise unsere Begeisterung für diese Unterkunft geschmälert!

Fijn personeel, mooie omgeving en lekker eten.

Erg rustgevende omgeving.Lekker eten en fijn personeel. Tijdens het ontbijt kwam er een giraffe langs. Leuk dat er een gameroom was. Lodge was ruim opgezet.

De weg ernaar toe is hobbelig met potholes. Bed te klein voor lange mensen.

Would recommend and visit again :)

Service was amazing. Can recommend to book a morning drive to feed the giraffes! The reserve and the lodges are beautiful. Dinner and breakfast was also really good.

You have to travel to a really bad road until you get to the lodge- be aware of it. Lodges are huge and perfect, just a bit „old“ furniture.

The place was beyond our expectations. Everything was on point we are definitely coming back

The breakfast was amazing and a lot. The location is exceptional, it was so peaceful. The rooms were neat and we had everything we needed;kitchen utensils, braai area and the pool. The poolside was definitely our favorite spot.

The only challenge we had was going up the stairs to the bedroom upstairs but it wasn't a train smash.

Heerlijk huisje dicht bij Addo

Heerlijke huisjes, ruim, met eigen keuken. Top buitendouche! Leuke patio en de mogelijkheid om een vuurtje te stoken. Super aardig personeel. Ontbijt is prima. Omdat de locatie toch wel wat verder weg is van een dorp, hebben wij hier ook gedineerd (3-gangen). Prima eten, het is wat de de pot schaft (uiteraard wordt er rekening gehouden met allergieën en dergelijke), maar daar houden wij wel van. Het is ca 25 minuten rijden naar de Main Entrance van Addo. Ook kregen wij nog bezoek van de huisolifant bij ons huisje:-).

Tolle Chalets in ruhiger Lage auf schönem Anwesen

Die Unterkunft liegt etwas abseits, aber für uns waren es perfekt. Das Chalet war sehr geräumig, modern und sauber. Das gesamte Personal war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Die hauseigene Tour zu den Giraffen war ein tolles Erlebnis. Auch die Möglichkeit den Addo Nationalpark und das Schotia Reservat besuchen zu können hat und sehr gefallen. Das Essen wurde liebevoll serviert.

Fun accommodation with great food at the restaurant

The location is great, feels like you are in the middle of a national park. We also liked the food in the restaurant very much. The kitchen ladies really do their best.

The interior and bathroom could use an upgrade.

Incredible stay

The welcome and checkin process of information and advise on the game drives... Tooth and Claw highly recommend!!! The food, the staff, the views, the rooms, the bar area and games room... The list goes on... It's a must do we will definitely be returning!!!

It was cold upon arrival but that couldn't be helped... However there was an air con/heater in our room which would of been nice had it been put on. The bar wasn't open all evening we returned from the game drive around 9pm and it was all locked. Security guard unfortunately didn't have a key. But these are just minor things the whole set up is amazing! .

I would highly recommend this place. and recommend doing the dinner and breakfast.

We loved our stay, the food was amazing. we did breakfast and dinner and the lady's in the kitchen did an exceptional job. The rooms were very nice and had a great view of there property and they had wood by the firepit for us and the room was clean and well equipped. It is only about a 25 minute drive to the north entrance of Addo elephant park which was very nice. We loved out stay.

What a beautiful place!! We loved everything! The room, the outdoor shower!!!!! And the fireplace outside. We will definitely come back! The food was simple and good, and the wine variety was excellent

The tap water is salty, but we thought it was nice :) Like swimming in the ocean :) Drinking water is ok- If you like only spring water, bring 1-2 bottles with you.

Very good

The surroundings are stunning and we were so lucky to have a giraffe visit. We thought we had booked one of the two bed properties but unfortunately we had booked the one bedroom and it was fully booked so we were unable to upgrade. Staff were very helpful in converting the sofa into a bed for our daughter. The property was comfortable for our needs, however the bathroom was very tired and in need of some TLC. The manger and kitchen staff were all very kind and accommodating. We would recommend.

Fantastic

The place is a true gem, we absolutley loved it. Had a fantastic time. Our toddler loved running around, entering the swimming pool and even got lucky to meet Lucy the giraffe. The food was amazing. My husband has celiac and he had so much great options to eat. We had a problem with the car on the way and the staff were super friendly, helpful and available for us. So happy we had the oppurtunity to stay in this great place. Thank you!

The lodge is very well located. Tip: Use the Highway towards Addo, when you Are coming from Cape town of oudtshoorn. There you will find the sign to charihandra. Google maps suggested us an other way, which was Shorter from distance But took und way Longer because of the very Bad Road. Lunch and Dinner wäre the best we had so far. Very fresh, healthy and with veggie options. They even prepared is a quick lunch, because we were so hungry when we arrived. The ladies who served the Food Are very friendly! We also Took a Safari through the Game lodge which was great. Owen was very friendly and funny. The Apartments Are very big! The Kitchen looked very new.

There could have Been some pillows on the Chairs in the dining area and textile napkins (More sustainable)

We sure found a fabulous spot for a peaceful getaway in the Eastern Cape where we ate and were treated like royalty and

We loved the serene location and the fact that the lodge is so small (as in the number of chalets). It made our stay feel very personal and peaceful. The chalets were perfect - spacious, beautifully decorated, well-equipped and clean. The views from the top balcony were fantastic, especially for giraffe-viewing! The food was outstanding! Nzali is an extraordinary chef, which was a welcome surprise- we had no idea we would be experiencing such excellent cuisine. Nelly (Nelliswa), the young lady who serves the meals, was delightful!

We loved the property. the only thing we would have liked to have at easy disposal was the ability to purchase goods to cook our own meals and perhaps grab a snack every now and then.
