Hlosi Game Lodge - Amakhala Game Reserve ★★★★

📍 Amakhala Game Reserve, Paterson, Western District

"Amazing lodge right at the heart of the Amakhala game reserve. From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, you are made to feel very welcome and special in this beautiful location. The team here are excellent - friendly, warm, and delivering the highest levels of service. Special mention to Oli and Elvis. BBQ night and amazing singing and dancing from the team were a particular highlight. Game drives were brilliant - Tim was an excellent ranger and we saw everything we could hope to see. Highly recommend."

Hitgeheim Country Lodge ★★★★★

📍 Off R336 Addo / Kirkwood, Addo, Western District

"Hitgehuim exceeded our expectation. We booked one of their new "self catering " units. It was well equipped, comfortable, and beautifully furnished and decorated. It had its own fully private, splash pool. The staff were helpfull. Nothing was too much trouble. We also used their restaurant at times. The meals were scrumptious. As birders the place was ideal. It was also in close proximity to Addo Elephant park."

Woodall Country House and Spa
9.7 (31 reviews)

Woodall Country House and Spa ★★★★★

📍 Jan Smuts Ave, Addo

"Solo female traveler. Stayed 3 nights in a suite. Woodall is a special place, with a wonderful staff, and I enjoyed every minute of my time there. What's to love: - Eduarn, the friendly and super-capable GM, is on top of everything. Prior to my trip, he was quick to amend my booking, answer my questions, provide information before I even asked (which route to take, where to stop along the way, etc.) During the stay, he was always available and on top of everything - Freddie, the pianist/restaurant manager (?)/go-to guy, is very warm, accommodating person. He's looking out for everyone - The deck, the deck, the deck! Comfortable sitting areas with views of the very active swamp. (Ornithophiles will be in heaven here) - The lodge is very accessible: straightforward journey from Port Elizabeth, good roads. Only 90 minutes from PLZ - My suite was gigantic, and it included outdoor showers (as well as indoor), tall ceilings, a private patio surrounded by nature, a dipping pool (got a kick out of the unironic "No Lifeguard on Premises/No Diving" sign), a refrigerator, USB outlets, safe, robes, slippers, etc. Lots of natural light and fresh air. Very quiet; dark at night; and AC worked fine - Complimentary bottle of wine; chocolates every night; welcome beverage; handwritten, personalized notes. Pastries (baked onsite) available in the lobby all day - Strong WiFi in common areas and rooms - They wash the guests' cars - Extremely comfortable beds. Strong, hot showers - Charlotte Rhys bath products - Spa onsite - Adjacent to Addo Elephant Park. So easy to take a half-day safari. Breakfast is provided. Lots of elephants, viewed up close - Both Eduarn offered a "to-go" breakfast when I told them I had to depart at 5:15 a.m. - Friendly, attentive restaurant staff - On-the-ball housekeeping What could be improved: - Uncomfortable dining room chairs"

Mount Camdeboo Private Game Reserve by Newmark
9.0 (28 reviews)

Mount Camdeboo Private Game Reserve by Newmark ★★★★

📍 Petersburg Rd, Aberdeen Plain

"From the moment we received a wonderful welcome at this Reserve we were completely relaxed about the experience to come. Everyone at the Reserve looked after us with great care. We had a dedicated guide, Rudolph who took us out on game drives twice a day. He was experienced and knowledgeable and we learned so much from him. We would highly recommend this game reserve where nothing was too much trouble."

Canal Guest House - Waterfront Boutique B&B
9.3 (50 reviews)

Canal Guest House - Waterfront Boutique B&B ★★★★

📍 26 Sea Glades Drive, St Francis Bay

"A beautiful hotel right on the canal. The reason we gave 4* was that there was no hot water. We were given another room for 2 nights but had to go back to original room. Rob was a great host. Attentive, gave great restaurant recommendations and cooked a mean breakfast."

Kwantu Private Game Reserve Hotels in Western District

Kwantu Private Game Reserve

"Fantastic experience. Top-notch service. Delicious meals. Highly recommended. LOCATION: Just over an hour's drive from PE. Last 10km on a poor quality gravel road (especially during wet weather). Hotel offers private transfers at an exorbitant price. APPEARANCE: Great. Luxurious, yet fitting of the outdoor experience. Better quality finishing than many of it's competitors. ROOM (Stayed in a Superior Family Room at Pollards Inn): Decor: Quality on par with a 5-star city hotel despite being surrounded by nature. 2 Double beds. Sleeper couch. Large desk/work area. Lovely tranquil patio with a beautiful view. Size: Huge spacious room plus patio. Interleading options available as well. Decently sized bathroom. Amenities: Meets expectations. Bar fridge/snacks included. Full Dstv bouquet. Quality of sleep. Excellent. Comfortable beds. SERVICE: As good as I've experienced. From arrival to departure everyone was fantastic. Knowledgeable game drive and predator park guides. Those little extra touches did not go unnoticed - like washing your car prior to departure or gifting Kwantu caps to the kids playing outside. DINING: Excellent. Fully Halaal. All-inclusive. Decent variety. Excellent quality. Great staff. One of the highlights of the trip. ACTIVITIES/FACILITIES: Trip was unfortunately marred by wet weather so were unable to fully experience everything on offer. Personalised itinerary. Enjoyable game drives with close big 5 encounters. Predator park. Petting zoo. Lots of outdoor facilities. Clean well maintained Muslim prayer facility. The kids' play area could do with some improvement. MY BOOKING AGENT: Hotel website ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Despite being a group of 10, transfers are quoted on the website on a per person basis which would have amounted to a similar price to our flights from Johannesburg. Due to our early evening arrival and hesitancy to tackle the roadtrip on unfamiliar terrain in the dark, the hotel lost out on our party booking an extra night's accommodation as we chose to spend the night in PE and drive through the next day in 2 rental cars which costs significantly cheaper than Kwantu's own transfers. My feeling is that if you are located in an isolated location, accessibility/transfer options for guests making multi-room bookings for a few nights need to be more attractive. Will I recommend/stay there again? Yes definitely. "

Gorah Elephant Camp Hotels in Western District

Gorah Elephant Camp

"Our two-night stay at Gorah Elephant Camp in Addo Elephant Park was without doubt the highlight of our entire South African / Zanzibar trip and the best safari experience we have ever had. From the moment we arrived, everything felt completely authentic, beautifully curated and deeply special. The camp itself is simply stunning, perfectly positioned within the park and the level of service was truly off the scale - warm, attentive and effortlessly professional. Seeing elephants wandering around the camp was unforgettable and made the experience feel magical. Our guide, Chevin, was absolutely brilliant. His knowledge, enthusiasm and storytelling brought every game drive to life - and he even managed to get me genuinely excited about the birdlife (a first!) - not just the elephants! The service team were exceptional. Nadine, front of house, welcomed us with such warmth and professionalism and made us feel instantly at home, while Zorro and the rest of the waiting team ensured every meal and moment was perfect. This was a truly wonderful experience that we will never forget. We could not recommend Gorah Elephant Camp highly enough - a once-in-a-lifetime safari that exceeded all expectations."

Assegaaibosch Country Lodge

"The location is perfect for exploring Ts and the surrounding areas. The staff are friendly and helpful. "

Cape St Francis Resort Hotels in Western District

Cape St Francis Resort

"Stayed in an upstairs unit, self catering , fully functional amenities. Unit was clean and spacious enough. The only thing that put us off completely was the noise levels and inconsiderate guests. Unfortunately they host functions on weekends which carry on late into the evenings and on Sundays host a live music band for the whole afternoon. If you want peace and quiet don't come here as it's always noisy on weekends. There are 2 restaurants which offer good food but if you are self catering stock up before arriving as the small café offers bare essentials. Sadly If you want to catch up on TV time the actual TV was fit for the trash as it was dismal and the options for channel selection even worse. If you want to relax in the evening bring your own entertainment. In summary if you are a couple looking for a tranquil time stay away from here, as a family with kids it's great. There is parking within the grounds close to your unit but can become congested at times."

Addo Elephant Safari Lodge - Bellevue Forest Reserve

"Very nice place. The staff is very kind and helpful. We ate there and the meals were delicious. There was just one poblem. The temperature was 15 degrees and the room didn't have heating. So we were cold during the night."

Pumba Private Game Reserve ★★★★★
"Where to begin. The shower did not drain, despite the bath and basins draining. The bathroom blinds fell off the wall when trying to close them. The safe is not mounted to anything. We had to send both steaks back due to being grossly under cooked. No barrister on site, only an all in one coffee machine, I am not sure how they can call themselves 5 Star. The game drive vehicle broke down and the game rangers do not have proper torches with them. We were transferring vehicles in the bush with the wild animals using our cell phones for light. Unfortunately it had rained extraordinarily before our trip so understandably we could not access a significant portion of the farm, but we had no issue with this. Pumba took 10 days to respond and only said that they hope to see us again. No accountability on their part. They blamed the water from the rains as the reason for us experiencing all the issues. I am not sure how rain causes the blinds to fall down or the shower not to drain etc. This was not the 5 Star experience we were had hoped for."

Camp Figtree by the Oyster Collection ★★★★
"Camp Figtree is about 11kms from the Main Gate at Addo Elephant Park. To get to it you have to be ready to travel on dirt roads, up the Zuurberg Pass. But it is SO worthwhile. When you get there you will not be disappointed. The setting must be among the best settings of any rural wilderness hotel in the world. The architecture is traditional colonials, with corrugated iron, natural stone and woodwork pathways to take you to your chalet. Each chalet is en suite, very spacious and comfortable, tastefully furnished and highly recommended. The staff are well-trained in hospitality, and will try to accommodate every whim. We had a wonderful 2-night stay there. The food was top-notch, a great wine list, warming fires, hot-water-bottles, everything for every comfort. Thank you Camp Figtree. We will have no hesitation in recommending you, and will most definitely return"

"This has got to be one of the most beautiful places to stay in S. Africa. We were lucky and received an upgrade which was perfect. The staff are extreemly friendly including all those with responsibilities and includes the chamber maid, just everyone. I would recommend this hotel in all aspects whether it be the location, the rooms, the service, the restaurant, the safari tour. We had a lovely time. Thanks to you all, David"

Mount Camdeboo Private Game Reserve by Newmark ★★★★
"We stayed in Camdeboo Manor for 2 nights during which time we were the only guests in the whole estate, this gave me the opportunity to look at the other options. Courtyard Manor, Hillside, Peppertree and the Pods....the pods were very luxurious given their location but I think we made the right choice. The room and manor as a whole was gorgeous, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The gardens were just a please to relax in. The staff were all so freindly and the food was very good. If you're going to Camdeboo for Game Drives you could be dissapointed as there is a lack of sightings but they are there. What made the drive special for us was the scenery which was beautiful ....and how elephants can climb up the steep hillsides I will never know."

Canal Guest House - Waterfront Boutique B&B ★★★★
"We spent one night here on our way back from Plettenberg Bay to Port Elizabeth. I was sad to only have one night. The guesthouse is beautifully decorated and the location was excellent - right next to the canal and across the road from the little precinct where you can find a deli and a restaurant. Unfortunately our room didn’t have direct canal views as we booked the last room but those with balconies overlooking the canal looked especially nice. That said our room still had a nice patio overlooking the small swimming pool. We spent the afternoon just chilling out and took the kayak out for a paddle on the canal. Breakfast was freshly prepared to order and we loved having it out on the deck watching the various bird visitors. If we’re out that way again (and I’d like to be!) I would definitely return."
