The fact that we had to leave.

Everything was perfect! Absolutely perfect! The elephants are majestic and the whole atmosphere at the lodge is incredible! Found myself sitting staring at the elephants for hours. Breakfast was very good. And the staff… Best staff I ever met! Each and every one of them is amazing and made our stay even more perfect. My top recommendation for sure!

The rooms were amazing and I liked the fact that there was a lounge to watch the elephants. The food at the restaurant was decent and I liked the fact that you could order food for dinner after the restaurant closed. It was also great that the meet the herd tours were included in the price of the stay

Location was tricky getting there. Maybe some suggestions for people coming from far on which major highways to use in order to get to the destination would be great.

Breakfast was good, not a lot of options but good enough as a meal. I appreciate the little gestures at the lodge, things like your openers, electric blankets, fridge, etc Paying attention to such details makes a place stand out.

If you love elephants this is the place to go. The staff were dedicated to the welfare of the animals and helping explain more about them to guests. The elephant walk and elephant feed were amazing experiences. We had a room with a window that overlooked the elephant boma meaning that we could watch them when they chose to come in for a sleep during the evening. Overall we cannot recommend this enough.

A stunning experience all round. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

We were late checking in and were charged extra which was ok but the staff were not happy about it. There was a misunderstanding about the number of guests staying even though we had emailed about this previously so the bed was not made up

Lovely clean rooms, seeing the elephants at night was great. The feeding of the elephants was fantastic and our guide was very good. Staff in the restaurant were very friendly

Wonderful experience up close with elephants. We loved every minute. Our room was great and the sleeping next door to the elephant shed made it very special.

Food on site is decidedly average and have to order by approx 4pm as kitchen closes at 5pm. This is poor when you have guests on site as we were. Missed opportunity to provide better food and opening times. Also informed we could eat outside of park which was a 9km drive to Plettenburg Bay which is wrong as we then found 2 places across the road. Why were these not offered as options? Easier to get the guests to eat on-site rather than lose trade to the places across the road which you don't see when you arrive at the park for the first time?

Lovely to walk amongst the elephants and observe their behaviour. Lovely room to stay in with access to balcony and bohma viewing. Very knowledgeable handler.

We knew in advance but be aware the restaurant isn’t open for dinner so either bring your own (there’s a microwave) or you’ll have to go off site

Gorgeous lovely accommodation on site. You get to watch the elephants sleep at night.
