Amazing stay we had. The service, the room, the view, everything is wow. I love the garden, it is so good. The Service, I think, is the best one I've experienced so far. The staff even washed my car when I parked there. WOW Thank you very much, Hitgeheim Country Lodge. I will be back.

We had a wonderful stay at Hitgeheim Country Lodge. The road in is a little rough, but as it is an eco reserve, that is to be expected and part of the experience. The reward is the wildlife along the way, and we were lucky enough to encounter some zebras. We chose a room with a private pool, which was absolutely beautiful and made our stay feel extra special. We loved the port provided and enjoyed a delicious Taste of South Africa dinner in the restaurant. A lovely final touch was having our car washed on departure.

The staff here are on a par with global industry leaders. The service is considerate and attentive without harrassment. They are knowledgable, friendly and efficient. The food is fantastic and allows the experience of the culture. Accomodation was superb, views for miles. Cannot rate highly enough (I work in this industry so have experienced many top hotels, this is right up there but also offers excellent value for money)

A great place if you want to be 'off grid' for a bit. Lovely location and accommodation with great wide views. All the staff were very polite and nothing was too much trouble. Our evening meals were faultless. We are happy to recommend and hope to return again one day. We would suggest of if you are want to do a trip into Addo Elephant Park with the lodge, that you book in advance. However, we went on the trip with Schotia Game reserve which was very good, which the lodge can organise for you.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Wir waren vor sechs Monaten bereits für zwei Nächte in diesem Hotel und damals sehr zufrieden – das Personal war freundlich und das Essen wirklich gut. Leider wurden wir bei unserem letzten Aufenthalt enttäuscht. Das Essen wirkte aufgewärmt und schmeckte entsprechend, auch das Frühstück war nicht frisch. Besonders schade war das Verhalten des Personals: Es wirkte unaufmerksam und eher lustlos. Zusätzlich war unser Zimmer voller Insekten, was den Aufenthalt sehr unangenehm gemacht hat. Am zweiten Tag haben wir sogar auf das Frühstück verzichtet und sind direkt abgereist. Auf unser Feedback wurde kaum eingegangen, man hatte nicht das Gefühl, dass es jemanden interessiert. Auch das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt aus unserer Sicht überhaupt nicht mehr. Die Preise sind massiv überteuert, selbst der Kaffee am Morgen kostet extra. Zudem gab es weder ein erfrischendes Getränk bei der Ankunft noch eine freundliche, herzliche Begrüßung. Es ist wirklich enttäuschend zu sehen, wie sich die Qualität innerhalb von nur sechs Monaten so verschlechtert hat. Wir können das Hotel daher leider nicht weiterempfehlen.

Unterkunft schön, durch die Hinweise auf der Website auch gut erreichbar. Safari im Addo war problemlos über die Lodge zu buchen, es ist zu empfehlen dass ein paar Tage vor der Ankuft anzumelden. Guter Preis im Vergleich zu anderen Online Angeboten. Der Guide (Soul) war klasse. Einziges Manko: Wir sind am ersten Tag recht spät angekommen und hätten gerne noch etwas gegessen. Das Restaurant ist jedoch nur mit vorheriger Ankündigung offen, Menu muss vorab gebucht werden. Daher mussten wir ohne Essen ins Bett, war aber eher unser Fehler. In der Umgebung gab es keine anderen Restaurants. Nach Anbruch der Dunkelheit wollten wir aber auch garnicht mehr raus.

Super hôtel près d Addo

Très bel hôtel avec une vue magnifique sur la vallée avec des orangers. Les chambres sont hyper spacieuses et cerise sur le gâteau, j ai retrouvé la voiture lavée le lendemain sans avoir rien demandé. Petit déjeuner excellent et personnel très attentionné y compris Archie le patron qui donne de bons conseils

Beautiful place, relaxing with amazing nature around. Rooms are large, comfortable, clean and has it all . Really enjoyed the place and the food. Service was great, no complain..but a bit too much ( for someone who does not like to be king or Queen). and it is at least 30-40 min. Drive to Addo.
