Situated at the base of the wild Tsitsikamma Mountains, The Fernery overlooks an impressive 30-metre waterfall in the Sanddrift River gorge. The deck area boasts a cocktail bar and free WiFi is available throughout.

The spacious rooms and suites are individually decorated and filled with light. Some rooms have fireplaces and offer scenic views. The elegant bathrooms have floor heating and heated towel rails. This is a piece of paradise. The chalet is very comfortable and well equipped and maintained. The restaurant offers excellent food options. The breakfast is amazing. I recommend staying here at least for three nights.

Guests at the lodge can enjoy a continental breakfast.

Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium is 49 km from the lodge, while Uitenhage Railway Station is 46 km away. Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport is 54 km from the property, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. The villa and luxury tent were great to stay in and we all slept well! We were close to nature and saw a lot of animals in our short stay, we should have booked for longer! It is a perfect location for a family or business event. Breakfast was prepared in the villa by the breakfast team and everyone loved it! The wood fired hot tubs are great too!

Offering mountain views, Harmony Luxury Tents & Safari in Addo offers accommodation, a garden, a terrace and a bar. Both WiFi and private parking are accessible at the lodge free of charge.

Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium is 45 km from Harmony Luxury Tents & Safari, while Port Elizabeth Golf Club is 48 km away. Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport is 55 km from the property, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. One of the Highlights of our Trip. The two hosts made us feel like old family members from far away from the first moment on. The tents are wonderful and sitting on the terrace watching the wild giraffes and other wildlife was hands down under the top 5 travel experiences we experienced in our lifes. I highly recommend going there also with children and to show them the wildlife of SA with a huge variety of animals. The Braai in the evening is another highlight featuring the best products like organic butter or meat. Do yourself a favor and don’t rush it. We stayed for 4 nights and could easily have stayed longer as you really experience the pleasure of a spot where time stands still. Thank you for having us. We will for sure come back ❤️

Situated in the Amakhala Game Reserve, Leeuwenbosch Shearers Lodge offers country-style accommodation and boasts an outdoor pool and terrace. Free WiFi is offered and free private parking is available on site.

Guests are able to arrange a late morning Day Safari directly with the property at an additional charge. Leeuwenbosch Shearers Lodge features extensive gardens with a chapel. The staff was very kind. They pampered us with welcome drinks, flowers in the room, and delicious dishes. The game drive was perfect—we managed to see the Big Five and much more, with lots of interesting explanations and stories. The colonial-style rooms made it feel like stepping into another era. Everything was perfect. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Providing river views, African Safari Lodge in Grahamstown provides accommodation, a garden, a shared lounge, a terrace and barbecue facilities. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge. Our experience at this lodge was hands down wonderful. The room was spacious&clean and had an amazing view to the river. The nature around was beautiful. The whole experience felt really private. We booked a guided tour and a game drive which was also very private. The ranger who ran the activities was simply wonderful. He shared his deep knowledge in flora & fauna, we really enjoyed our time with him. We saw a variety of animals, not only on the guided tours but as well as just walking around property. The value for money is just insanely good. +The food was delicious! Best wishes to Dean & Fay who really cared to make our time at the lodge memorable. Would love to come back. Thank you!

Situated in Jeffreys Bay with easy access to the beach, Surf Lodge South Africa features a balcony with panoramic ocean view.

The lodge offers an outdoor pool and a hot tub. Guests can learn how to surf or get guiding lessons. This is one of my favorite places in South Africa. The position of this hotel, right on the best beach of Jeffreys Bay, allows visitors the luxury to walk barefoot (50 m) from their room to the Ocean. And what a spectacular sunrise from the balcony! The atmosphere at the Surf Lodge is very jolly and relaxed at the same time, and they offer plenty of activities for their visitors (surfing but not only that). Definitely not my last visit :-)
