Bushman Sands Golf Course is 35 km from Ikwanitsha Lodge. The nearest airport is Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport, 85 km from the accommodation.

The highlight was the tranquillity and nature of the accommodation. It is also very beautiful, stylish and cozy. We immediately felt at home. Ingrid is a brilliant hostess and gives good advice. She is very friendly and helpful. Both breakfast and dinner are delicious. Even though the access road to the lodge is a bit long, you can easily reach activities such as Addo and Schotia Safari.

What an amazing place- they upgraded our accommodation before we arrived as marks camp is more family friendly. We stayed at treetops which was so amazing- our room was gorgeous and the staff so friendly and attentive. M bAli and her team looked after us beautifully and Sivi our ranger was the best- we really lucked out- so knowledgable about the animals- an amazing experience.

Elephants Lodge is located within the malaria-free Bellevue Forest Reserve, home to wildlife such as lion and buffalo. The lodge features natural gardens, patio’s and a lookout lounge overlooking the vast open plains of the Eastern Cape.

I loved it to stay in a "tent", an absolute unique shower and a terrasse/balkony with an excellent view. The meal in the evening was great. We've had a nice evening.

Located in Paterson, Pure Nature Familodge offers accommodation with a terrace and kitchen. Free WiFi is offered.

The lodge offers a barbecue. The property is equipped with solar and battery operated lanterns.

The tranquility and silence of the location were deeply appreciated. Olaf and his family were incredibly friendly and always available for any questions. The animals on the premises added a delightful touch, especially for my youngest daughter who adored the cats and dogs. Besides the pets, there was a variety of livestock and even wild animals - spotting giraffes was a highlight! The breakfast was a delight, prepared exclusively with fresh farm products such as cheese and milk, and even the bread was freshly baked. This attention to detail and quality truly enhanced our overall experience. Staying there was a wonderful experience, thoroughly enjoyable. However, guests should be mindful that being in nature comes with its quirks, like spiders and such. No mosquitoes though!

    The tent is very cozy and comfortable and the view from the own little balcony is stunning! The food (breakfast & dinner) is fresh and delicious. All the staff is extremely friendly and attentive and they made us feel at home. We did a giraffe safari with Bradley and loved it! He is a great guide!

    Very nice and well-kept premises. Comfortable room and beautiful view. Great experience to drive up the road to the lodge (road was perfectly doable with a normal car, road was dry). Very hospitable host and staff.
