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.

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 !

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.
