The location of the lodge was great, being close to the gate of the national park and also near the sand dunes. the food at the lodge was absolutely delicious, especially the zebra dish. the room was spacious and comfortable, with a pull-out bed for our child.
There was a major issue with the outdoor shower. It was frustrating to try and adjust the water temperature, as it seemed to fluctuate between scorching hot and icy cold.

I had an amazing weekend getaway near the famous Addo Elephant Park. the lodge offered comfortable and spotless accommodation with a fan and air conditioner, which was perfect for the hot weather. the staff were extremely friendly and made me feel like a VIP guest. the service was superb and the breakfasts and dinners were absolutely delicious. I especially enjoyed the fresh and local cuisine prepared by the talented chef. the lodge also had a lovely splash pool where I could cool down and relax. the lodge's proximity to the Sundays river allowed me to enjoy a scenic boat ride.
I was a bit disappointed that dinner was served as a buffet and I had to be there at a set time. It would have been more convenient to have more flexibility with dinner arrangements.
