Lovely hotel to stay at when visiting Addo. Rooms are huge and the bathroom is lovely, especially the outdoor shower. Only downside is there is no door so the light comes in as soon as the sun rises. 10-15 min drive to Addo, not much in the local area. Breakfast was good, buffet selection and eggs cooked to order. Nice pool with towels and sunscreen provided which was a nice touch.

Fantastic Hotel close to Addo Elephant Park
Fantastic and very tasteful hotel, they have a baggage trolley but no bellhop to assist so had to use the trolley to move all our baggage twice, other than that it was really nice, beautiful room, really well designed

Excellent choice when visiting Addo
Not the nearest hotel to Addo Elephants but definitely the best. The limited food in the park, one Cattle Baron near main entrance means that you must stay somewhere that can provide an excellent breakfast and dinner. The rooms are all the same, fabulous bathrooms plus an outside shower. Dinner options are wide and reasonably priced. Staff can not do enough to help you.

Beautiful hotel in addo
The hotel is beautiful, the staff are incredible attentive and the food delicious. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. Only negatives were that food was slow to arrive (not a problem normally, but difficult with small children) and there is nothing in the local area so you are limited for dining options unless you drive (a function of the area rather than the hotel)

A Gem
Really lovely large modern room with fabulous wet room & outside shower. Helpful staff. Good location for visiting Addo Elephant Park Good on site restaurant. Breakfast choices were limited-had to choose from menu with no buffet & no orange juice in the heart of citrus country-very strange.

Hotel maravilhoso!
Hotel maravilhoso, quarto espaçoso, chuveiro ótimo, atendimento impecável, café da manhã organizado e gostoso. Arrumaram a cama com folhas secas em formato de coração para a nossa lua de mel e ainda deixaram balinhas. Na primeira noite jantamos no próprio restaurante (visto que fica longe da cidade) e foi espetacular. Nossa primeira refeição na África já começou muito bem! Infelizmente visitamos no inverno e não pudemos utilizar o chuveiro que fica "ao ar livre", mas já anotamos para voltar no verão só pra isso!

Tolles Hotel beim Addo Elefanten Park
Wer den Addo Elefanten Park oder Schotia besuchen möchte, der ist hier bestens aufgehoben. Es ist ein sehr schönes Hotel auf neuestem Stand mit viel Komfort und einem sensationellen Badezimmer, bestehend aus einer riesigen Innendusche und einer zweiten Außendusche.

Excelente hotel, porém dificuldade com agua quente
Hotel novo, com ótimas instalações, bonito e confortável. O que desabona o hotel é a falta de água quente para banho. Havia lido em algumas avaliações este problema e tanto eu quanto um casal de amigos que estavam conosco tivemos problemas. No início tínhamos banho quente e muito rapidamente a água esfriava e não esquentava mais. Conversamos na recepção, no entanto me parece um problema maior do hotel, o que é uma pena, pois o lugar é marabilhoso, no entanto, inverno e sem água quente, não tem condições. Café da manhã delicioso, bem como um atendimento muito bom. Os quartos são imensos!

Dear Gizele, Thank you for a wonderful 4 out of 5 rating! We had our plumber come and inspect all the elements/thermometers/switches. All of the problems were resolved and we have ever since not have any issues. Each room is fitted with its' own geyser for optimum guest satisfaction. We apologize for the inconvenience, but thank you for bringing it under our attention. Regards Karlien Muller

Neues Hotel mit tollem Restaurant
Schöne und neue Anlage. Sehr engagiertes und nettes Serviceteam, besonders im Restaurant! Auf der Speisekarte findet jeder etwas genauso wie auf der Weinkarte. Traditionelle (Fleisch-Gerichte, Pizza/Pasta und Sushi!) und das Frühstück war das Beste auf unserer ganzen Reise. Das von anderen Gästen kritisierte moderne Ambiente hat uns gerade gefallen - kein Laura Ashley-TüTü oder grob gedengelte Holzmöbel, sondern moderne Sachlichkeit in der Zimmergestaltung. Relativ nahe am Addo-Park - alle Teerstraße. WIr haben und drei Tage rundum wohlgefühlt und kommen gerne wieder!
