    A great place if you want to be 'off grid' for a bit. Lovely location and accommodation with great wide views. All the staff were very polite and nothing was too much trouble. Our evening meals were faultless. We are happy to recommend and hope to return again one day. We would suggest of if you are want to do a trip into Addo Elephant Park with the lodge, that you book in advance. However, we went on the trip with Schotia Game reserve which was very good, which the lodge can organise for you.

    The staff here are on a par with global industry leaders. The service is considerate and attentive without harrassment. They are knowledgable, friendly and efficient. The food is fantastic and allows the experience of the culture. Accomodation was superb, views for miles. Cannot rate highly enough (I work in this industry so have experienced many top hotels, this is right up there but also offers excellent value for money)
