Excellent Place, professionell owner”
This lodge is an outstanding property. The owner Archie runs a well maintained property with excellent rooms and service on a high level. Highly recommend this property. Some of the minor improvement potentials are: Internet is slow at times, Safaris are priced rather on the high side (However, they are excellent!). Pricing in the lodge is otherwise ok, dinner and drinks are priced fine, kids menu (pasta or pizza) maybe a bit high with 50 percent of adult prices. Staff goes above and beyond to deliver great service. At the end of our stay we had a small incident (someone of our group forgot something in the lodge) - Archie personally solved the problem. Overall superb lodge!

Great serviice”
I really enjoyed my stay at the lodge. The manager very kindly made another room available at no extra cost. The staff were very attentive and were always very helpful. The rooms were great and the view from the lodge was spectacular. The food in the restaurant was also very tasty and reasonably priced. There was also plenty of activities on offer to fill in the time during your stay. You could do as little or as much as you liked. I would have no hesitation in recommending this lodge to any of my friends.

Don't think twice, this is 100% worth every penny.”
Everything was amazing from the beginning, you are so warmly welcomed by staff and glorious views. The little things are done here, there are only a handful of lodges so it feels like you get 100% attention from the staff. My girlfriend is a vegan and the chef (who was crazy is a great way) come out of her way to speak to her and let her know her thoughts for her menu selection and had a few options for her. Her food was so good even I loved it and I'm a proper meat head. I went down to the wine cellar to pick my own wine, which was great. We originally thought this price was quite high (as we also book all the extra safaris and 4 course dinner) but it was by far the best value for money.

Eemite location with a wonderful view”
We arrived in a rental car and thought perhaps a four wheel drive would have been a better option. Having got over the drive in we were presented with a secluded complex of small lodges which gave us a real feel for being away from it all. The staff were all lovely and welcoming. We went on 2 safaris and enjoyed both immensely. We didn’t drive our car until we left. So it was a great way to relax enjoy and be shown the delights of the natural wonders of South Africa. 3 nights is ideal to do one safari per day and give ample time to enjoy the facilities available Great choice

Very good”
Staff here was really nice and friendly and service was exceptional. We got traditional African dinner one night and was very interesting and tasty. View is amazing and very quiet and peaceful. Not sure about value for money though. We saw many nice places with less price. Only one negative thing was that they don't have net over the bed. There are mosquitoes and this is eco house so they are coming inside all night. There was an insect repellent spray in the room but I got my face bitten a lot.

Very special”
Lodge 6 A thatched roof, outdoor and indoor shower and supremely comfortable bed all furnished to a very high standard. The views are outstanding, the stars at night, unbelievable and breakfast with the most beautiful birds were all part of this wonderful stay. We would love to return. Don’t be fooled by the dirt track up to the property because once you get there, it’s something special! Enjoy.

Nice view on Fruit farms ”
The Lodge is quite nice and the staff is friendly and professional. Owner is always around to help. They offer a good game drive for Addo but please note that you will need 30 min to Addo and that the view from the hillside is on fruit farms and a some villages.

Great Service and close to Addo National Park!”
Amazing Lodge facilities and really good value for money. They're happy to arrange for Game Drives along Addo National Park (we used this as an overnight stay). Service was really good and all meals that we had at the lodge were 5-star quality.

too short, we stayed only for 2 nights”
We arrived in the late afternoon, spent the whole day in Addo Elephant park and left the next morning. So we had only little time to enjoy the splendid view and the really nice rooms. Each room has its own balcony with a beautiful view into the valley. Rooms are very spacious with a really large bathroom and in-and outdoor shower.

Serene setting with views over the citrus farms, the room had a lot of special touches: the food was top class and the staff were so friendly. Really enjoyed our stay
