Ndlovu Addo River Lodge

Kirkwood

Featuring a swimming pool, a garden, a terrace and views of the river, Ndlovu Addo River Lodge is set in Kirkwood and offers accommodation with free WiFi.

A barbecue is available on site and both fishing and canoeing can be enjoyed within close proximity of the lodge. Everything was wonderful. It felt very private, had a gorgeous little wooden patio right by the river for hanging out and watching the birds. The room was very comfy, tastefully decorated, and had everything we needed. There is also solar power that kicked in during load- shedding, and the wifi was great. Sophia was very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed paddling on the river on our last day.

Furrows Lodge

Nieu-Bethesda

Furrows Lodge features garden views, free WiFi and free private parking, located in Nieu-Bethesda, 200 metres from Owl House Museum.

Some accommodation includes a terrace with mountain views, a fully equipped kitchen and a shared bathroom with bath. This is a most beautiful spot - much better than the photographs! Was a lovely surprise to arrive on a baking hot day, after a long drive, to find our rooms hidden in a really special garden amidst a forest. There are two communal braai areas, a big shaded table and chairs and a little plunge pool. The rooms are well equipped, comfortable and everything thought of. At night we looked up at a sky full of stars and enjoyed the tranquility and gorgeous air. We felt safe and very relaxed. Althea was warm and welcoming, and provided clear instructions on how to get there, where to buy food etc. We shopped at the local padstal and bought sosaties, sausages and rooster brood for our braai. Was delicious. Our regret was that we were only staying one night - we found it difficult to leave Furrows Lodge! What a find! And….a short walk to the Owl House and this remarkable village, restaurants etc. All in all, a memorable stay.

African Safari Lodge 4 stars

Grahamstown

Providing river views, African Safari Lodge in Grahamstown provides accommodation, a garden, a shared lounge, a terrace and barbecue facilities. Both WiFi and private parking are available at the lodge free of charge. Our experience at this lodge was hands down wonderful. The room was spacious&clean and had an amazing view to the river. The nature around was beautiful. The whole experience felt really private. We booked a guided tour and a game drive which was also very private. The ranger who ran the activities was simply wonderful. He shared his deep knowledge in flora & fauna, we really enjoyed our time with him. We saw a variety of animals, not only on the guided tours but as well as just walking around property. The value for money is just insanely good. +The food was delicious! Best wishes to Dean & Fay who really cared to make our time at the lodge memorable. Would love to come back. Thank you!
