East London Golf Club South Africa is 4.5 km from the lodge, while East London Aquarium is 4.9 km away. The nearest airport is East London, 11 km from Cycad Lodge, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.

I am very much unhappy with this place. Firstly the staff did not even know we were coming, we had to show them the proof of booking. The room they gave us was small and dirty, the bathroom shower taps were broken and there was no electricity.

    I’m awaiting a refund as they accepted my booking and deposit then said my arrival would be too late and therefore they could not accommodate us, we then made a direct booking with Road Lodge. Can’t understand how they could take my money if they weren’t prepared to wait for us to arrive in East London . Booking was made very late so there should be a cut off time. I phoned after making the booking to confirm , if I didn’t phone we would have arrived to a closed B&B

    We did not book breakfast, but the rooms and the location were just superb! The security of the facility also impressed us great deal, the alarms per room were a breath of fresh air and that was the cherry on top! I'd certainly and without a doubt, recommend Vincent Valley Lodge to any traveler.

    The lodge is beautiful & tidy😍 The staff were very nice, welcoming & ready to serve. Even though on my arrival, they struggled to access my booking, they tried to be patient with me and did all in their strength to assist. The vehicle parking space is enough.

    We had an amazing stay at Cowrie Lodge. It’s a very safe and clean place, close to the beach for nice walks and (if you‘re lucky) whale watching. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. One of the best places we stayed on South Africa. We will come back. Thanks Beth for everything.
