Service in the restaurant is very very slow - food is however excellent The pool is sustainable and nice but a shower or bucket of water would be nice in that area for those not willing to swim The painting of the pool floor should be improved. I burnt my feed

The peaceful environment, the design, the location and the food were excellent

The only downside is that breakfast only starts at 7am when the park is already open.

What a beautiful accommodation with very friendly staff. Cosy, spacious rooms with lovely beds. Every day it was cleaned. There was always coffee/tea available too. The restaurant at the hotel is very cosy with good food. In addition, you can get to the National Park - Addo Elephant Park - in about 15min.

Great place to stay and explore Addo Elephant park. The rooms are "tiny houses" and beautiful decorated. There is a nice, natural swimming pool to relax and the restaurant is amazing!

There were quite a few dead frogs all over the property. Would’ve been nice if they’d be cleaned up.

The food at the restaurant is simply amazing, staff really nice, very cute rooms. Small but that’s something you know beforehand! Had a frog choir sing us to sleep (I found that very relaxing, my husband not so much :D)

A very cosy bungalow that’s very close to the Addo Elephant Park. In our opinion, it’s the perfect hide-out if you’re planning to visit the park. There’s also a restaurant with absolutely delicious, organic food. Fantastic!

it’s an ecological lodge, so be aware that they use rainwater and you will shower in that water. it doesn’t impact your stay but be aware of this. also a lot of sounds from frogs and birds during the night. could keep you up.

Could highly recommend! first of all, the restaurant, amazing! best we’ve had so far in South Africa. a truly amazing dinner! the accommodation is nice and really charming. On first glance the best. we really enjoyed the calming and relaxing environment and enjoyed our stay high. We would visit again

In september it is a little vold in the hit. The roof is conical and it gives a huge volume of air to heat.

Very pretty and cosy.

Stayed in September 2022

the food choices at the restaurant could have been more suited to families. Its a high end restaurant but doesn't offer a children's menu making the food choices pretty difficult.

the room was exceptional with a beautiful canopy bed and a lovely view of the garden. We also enjoyed the shared living room and tea/coffee bar. We felt very safe and the whole family instantly relaxed. it was great.

Stayed in July 2022

Decor was dark and dingy. Sound proofing in our room in the lodge (Emmanuel Diaz) was insufficient. Could hear the toilet being used in adjacent room and presume they could hear us.

The friendly staff and the location near the Elephant Park. The eco ethos and the training scheme in the restaurant. Breakfast was excellent

Stayed in March 2024

The staff was not very helpful upon arrival. Restaurant was closed on arrival , even they confirmed a booking via email there! For an Eco-Lodge, solar power and inverters would be great to have!

Setting with roundables is nice, a bit dark inside. Close.l to Addo main gate. Lovely breakfast at the restaurant.

Generally, this stay is slightly overrated in our view. We paid around EUR 100 per night and felt like it was a little too much (note that if you book via Booking, you don’t end up in a little hut but in the main building). The hotel staff was not very friendly and the rooms give an outdated and “dusty” impression. Load shedding impacts the lights, the restaurant menu, etc. Also, during the safari tour, they put us on a car that was so old and worn out that the wheel broke down before even entering the park. Luckily, there was a group on a decent car willing to switch spots for the day or we would not have had a safari at all…

Location was excellent: close to the park, quiet and safe. Restaurant was amazing: friendly staff and very good food.

The bed it was very uncomfortable.

I liked the way the whole area looks. A change of the normal places we are used to booking.

The water in bathroom was contaminated. It smells like poop. There was a problem with the filter maintenance. In the bathroom there were instructions that ‘if it was brown flush it down’ and if it was ‘yellow, let it mellow’ 🤮. We have eaten at the accommodation restaurant and the price was very high, R1500 for a meal for 2 persons. That is very high in South Africa. Our room was full of flies. No refrigerator in the room, no airco. We stayed 2 night and on the first night we didn’t have any electricity. There was no compensation in the price we have paid. We sat there by candle light. The staff had energy from a generator. It was a disappointing stay. We recommend Africanos. The food was very good and it was clean.

Nothing. Only the bed was good.
