Ontbijt
Wij hadden dit hotel gekozen omdat het ontbijt start om 7u volgens de beschrijving,en we vroeg wilde doorrijden,bij aankomst in restaurant om 7 u was er zelfs nog geen koffie,het personeel kwam juist binnen en het ontbijt buffet moest nog klaargezet worden.wat ook niet in beschrijving stond is dat het zeer dicht gelegen is bij ingang addo olifanten park,wat heel zeker een pluspunt is

The positives...The property is well-situated - about a five-minute drive from the entrance to Addo. The rooms were clean. In the 35-degree heat, we really enjoyed the outdoor shower. Communication with Wesley before arriving was excellent. He was able to help me book an excellent guide for our trip into Addo. The negatives...Unfortunately, when we arrived at the lodge, it was 35 degrees out. The property doesn't advertise air-conditioning, but the ceiling fan was broken. When we brought this to the attention of management we were told that we would have to wait until the morning for it to be fixed (it was not fixed the next day either). We eventually asked if there was a standing fan we could use. This was brought to us although we were not able to sleep in the high temperatures. The dining room was also very hot. The meal that was offered was good, but extremely overpriced at 350 Rand pp, especially when that didn't even include water or drinks. Management seemed incredibly disorganized. When we mentioned we had a game drive booked, the woman at the desk could not find any record of the booking but told us to "wait outside at 930 and somebody would probably be there." Also, when we went to pay when we were about to leave, we were given a bill for a bottle of champagne and nothing more. We had to tell her that we actually needed to pay for a game drive, three dinners, and a few drinks. She had no record of what we had spent. I am not sure how a business can be run this way.

I just expected more when hearing 4star lodge. It is more a guesthouse. Pool was green, outside furniture is worn and paying R350 for buffet per person is steep for the type of food that was served. Fridge was also very small. We were roadtripping and had some food that needed to be kept cold. Thus I checked that there is a Fridge. But the Fridge available in the room is smaller than the average bar Fridge...

Wonderful place to stay and explore Addo!
We spent 2 lovely nights here, in a gorgeous suite with very comfy furniture and anything one could need. Ceiling fan works really well! The private rustic outdoor shower was a highlight! Very good dinner and breakfast.The boat trip on the Sundays River is also a great experience which Christo the manager organised for us. We would definitely recommend and hope to come again!
