Dungbeetle River Lodge was the perfect location for trip into ADDO and close enough to travel into Gqeberha.

Dungbeetle Lodge B+B was absolutely lovely. The owners are incredibly considerate, helpful and good conversationalist. Our room (the lion room) was spacious for 2, clean and comfortable. We had a restful and peaceful stay. Additionally breakfast was fresh and delicious! I would highly recommend staying here for a peaceful accommodation.

Wir waren 2 Tage im Dungbettle und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die private Safari vom Hotel war super! Das ganze Hotel und unser Zimmer waren sehr herzlich mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet.

Sehr nette Gastgeber die sich persönlich um jeden einzelnen Gast kümmern.Top Frühdtück mit selbst gebackenem Brot und selbst gemachter Marmelade.Sehr große Zimmer mit großer Dusche (allerdings ohne Vorhang oder Glasabtrennung).Möbel könnten bisschen moderner sein.Direkte Lage am Fluß.Wir können das Guesthouse zu 100% weiterempfehlen.

Lodge très agréable et très belle vue sur la rivière. Nous avons pu prendre le petit déjeuner complet face à la rivière et c'était délicieux. L'hôte a été de bons conseils sur les activités à faire dans la région. Nous recommandons vivement !

Perfect location, beautiful views, delicious breakfast, comfortable bed, great shower. Easy access to Schotia game drive with tour (amazing) and Addo (self drive - also amazing)

The lodge is very professionally run. It is immaculately clean and everything functions like clockwork. The room is stylishly decorated with a panoramic view of the river. Breakfast is superb - they are justifiably proud of it - blew my diet right out of the water. Suggestion: there needs to be a better place for an upmarket dinner in line with the lodge ratings.
