    The only flaw was the wifi, which is only functional at the main building and the internet connection wouldn’t be enough for a business stay. Just have to focus on the location and wildlife and tell everyone about it later!

    The location is fantastic, with marked walking routes on which you can get to know the local wildlife: giraffes, zebras, various deer… the list goes on! And if that’s not enough, there are elephant and lion parks within an hours drive. The staff are very friendly and helpful, whether your schedule is changing or if you need advice on where to go and how.

    We liked everything

    The managers and host made us feel very welcome. Beautiful view from the deck. Swimming pool. Nice hiking trail where we walked a few meters from the giraffes and could take close up photos. Giraffes can be viewed from a short distance. The bed was comfortable. Coffee and tea making facilities in the room. The breakfast was delicious and is included in the price.

    Valley Bushveld Country Lodge is simply wonderful. Nothing can beat waking up to the sight of the giraffes, as they wandered up the hillside opposite the lodge to catch the morning sun. It was also such a fun experience to explore on foot, following the network of paths around the reserve, giving excellent views of all the game and bird life. Although I visited the area specifically to go to Addo National Park (which surpassed all expectations), some days I never left the lodge. Breakfast was excellent. But definitely take the opportunity to have dinner too - delicious home-cooked food, made with culinary flair! The room was perfect and the team were so welcoming and helpful. I booked for 4 nights, but then extended to 6!

    The lodge offers a 2 course breakfast and it's absolutely scrumptious. The food is always well prepared and and the staff that serve it are the best, very warm and friendly, perfect especially for extroverts like me and my friends.

    I wish I had known about the bees around the pool because that's why I chose this place. The staff had a strange energy when we were there. It felt awkward and cold. I'm glad that we only stayed one night.

    The rooms were clean and very comfortable.

    Parking to far from the rooms, and had to walk thru dining area with all luggage to get to room. Would have liked a bigger table in room to use laptop on, since we had road planning do. Hair drier handle sticky. Would have liked a fridge in room, since we still had food/meat to travel with.

    Breakfast was good, Nice scenery.

    We had the feeling, that the host wanted us to leave as early als possible and told us, that we would drive much longer to our next destination than we actually did. We had the plan to check out the area and watch the animals on the farm, but because of the strange behaviour of our host, we left early. Also, we had the feeling, that they were angry, that we didn‘t want dinner. It was also annoying, that we heard every flush of every toilet in the house and that we could listen to the conversations of the other guests and couldn‘t sleep.

    It was nice, that the electricity was working during load shedding. Also the wild animals, especially the giraffes, were amazing. The breakfast was good and the room was clean.

    The booking/emails/w. Upp and general tone of the conversations were not very consumer friendly. Emails took a while before answered. When the w. Upp was used after all the load shedding at 7pm at night and emails not being answered." We are closed now," was the response. And arriving 15 min early I was repremanded. It could have been handled more professional.

    The room was very well equipped and spacious and modern. Food was well presented and yummy.
