Amazing experience from start to finish! Geoff looked after us. Being so close to the elephants at night was amazing in the boma lounge. The rooms were super comfortable, and the morning walk with the elephants was on another level!

It was very calm. There are zebras on the island that you can observe and the cat was super cute. The room was also nice and clean.

The spot is just sumptuous, with views over the wetlands and the winding river. The staff were all incredible and provided such a personalised service. The breakfasts and dinners we had at the restaurant were simply delicious. The styling and views of the room throughout the hotel were incredible and made you feel so connected to nature and provided an excellent environment to disconnect and relax.

We recently spent two unforgettable nights at Belle Balance Bush Lodge, and it was an experience we will cherish forever! From the moment we arrived, the warm and welcoming staff made us feel right at home, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of perfect. The lodge itself is beautifully situated in nature, providing a serene and peaceful atmosphere that instantly helped us unwind. Our accommodations were comfortable and tastefully decorated, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the tranquil surroundings. One of the highlights of our stay was the game drive. It was an incredible experience to see the wildlife in their natural habitat, and the knowledgeable guides made the adventure even more memorable. We were lucky enough to spot an array of animals and learn about the local ecosystem, which added a fantastic educational element to our trip. The relaxed atmosphere at Belle Balance Bush Lodge made it easy to let go of our everyday stresses. We found ourselves wishing we could extend our stay to soak in even more of the beautiful surroundings and the delightful hospitality. Every detail was carefully considered, from the delicious meals to the cozy common areas where we could relax and enjoy the company of fellow guests. We wholeheartedly recommend Belle Balance Bush Lodge for anyone looking for a tranquil escape near Plettenberg Bay. We left feeling rejuvenated and grateful for the wonderful memories created during our stay. We can't wait to return and experience the magic all over again!

A one of a kind breathtaking location with spectacular views. Lots of possibilities for activities and adventures in the area. But the biggest highlight was Benn himself. The most amazing, courteous and caring host one could ask for. Helping us get around and organising rides for us. We will never forget this place and his loveable dogs!

The unique experience and oppertunity viewing the elephants at night and at rest as well as the interaction with them and the guides. The rooms were pristine, warm and comfortable. The lodge was very accommodating with any special requests! Rhe Cafè was comfi and the food was good. The kids could enjoy the ducks and swans and the play area while we relaxed. A great family lodge!

Staying at the Knysna Elephant Lodge cannot be summed up in mere words such as awesome, wonderful, enchanting, spiritual. It was so magical to feed, walk with and observe these majestic land animals 24/7! The grounds were beautiful, the staff and guides fantastic and of course the elephants. Both my travel partner and I felt that if we didn’t have family and obligations back home, we would have stayed on and volunteered. It was that phenomenal of an experience!

The highlight of our South Africa trip! Emily Moon River Lodge is an amazing property with the coolest boho decor and incredible lodges. We couldn't get over the views!! Grant was the friendliest host, reserving us a table at the popular Simon's Bar for pizza and live music, and recommending lots of things to do in the area. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Beautiful lodges with spacious tastefully furnished rooms. The open kitchen is equipped with basic kitchen utensils and condiments. Large outdoor barbecue area. The highly recommended restaurant serves quality dishes and remarkably creative cocktails in a private athmosphere. There is plenty of opportunity for adventures on the island and it's surrounding river. The ferry to take people on and off the island works well on a 15min notice period. There indeed are Zebras roaming the island which are curious and friendly.
