"Location is wonderful and quality of hospitality is exceptional, down to the very detailed guest information book and assistance with every detail that made this a warm and comfortable stay. TOP Quality sleep. Lovely attention to detail in the room. A mere 15 mins from Addo North Entrance. Fabulous restaurant adjacent to cabins with organic vegetable garden - Highly recommended. Though maybe stick to the chicken and vegetables - the game is a bit tough. Mum does a stunning superlative breakfast if you have time. Excellent start to the day. Also laundry is a family concern - our dust caked clothes from safari returned pristine and ironed. Top notch hosts run this professionally and with love and care. gets my vote. "
