I wish we could have stayed a week. The view, surroundings, a true gem tucked neatly against the solitude of the river. Loved every moment.

We were a party of 3 adults. Staying 3 nights. Our hosts were lovely and welcomed us after a long day. We booked the river lodge which was plenty of room and well appointed. Breakfast was cooked With fresh juice and cereal options. If you have a diet restriction l would ask before you book as there was no gluten free bread, however the bread came hot and fresh.We were recommended a restaurant down the road for dinners that was a great price and the food was also value for money.. Beds very firm, we would have preferred softer beds, electric blankets provided in each room, necessary in the colder months. We would highly recommend this B&B.

Great location as minutes to Addo elephant park and the Storm river mouth . Owners were so nice, I could have sat and listened to them all day ! Very knowledgeable. If we had stayed longer we would have booked a trip out with them . Lovely view of the river. Breakfast was great. Rooms were good, comfortable beds.

Fabulous place, great host, staff very professional and polite, view over the river from the stoop and our balcony was fabulous, lots of bird life. The room was fantastic, very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay, breakfast was delicious, plentiful and lots to choose from . Two nice restaurants close by. We highly recommend a stay here. Our chosen lodge for that Saturday was because of other great reviews and we were only 6km from the southern entrance to Addo Elephant Park where we spent the whole of Sunday driving around enjoying the wildlife and then we braai’d at Jacks Pinic site inside Addo .

Perfect place to visit Addo National Park which is just a five minute drive away. The owners are super nice, the views are great and the breakfast is absolutely delicious. One can notice the love and care with which the hotel is run. Two minutes walking there is a local pub that is very welcoming.

We enjoyed a fantastic family holiday in the self catering River Cottage. The self contained cottage is away from the rest of the lodge, offering extra privacy. It fronts directly onto the river in an amazing tranquil setting. The cottage has 3 ensuite bedrooms, lounge, well equipped kitchen and a deck with river views. All the facilities we needed! Plus the buffet breakfast was extensive and delicious. Staff are lovely and able to give great advice about what to do in the area. We enjoyed self driving Addo and also took a recommended cruise on the river. Definitely recommed.
