Ongelooflik.

Neem genoeg tyd om die asemrowende plek te besoek, puik diens en baie netjies en skoon. Ons het die verblyf freeslik geniet.

Spectacular!

We had an amazing two-night stay. The beautiful views from our room and the veranda were absolutely breathtaking. The tranquility experienced was just what we needed. The staff - Dean, Gift, Mike and Fay - really made our stay memorable. Their interaction with guests and ensuring we were well taken care of was incredible. The game drive and boat cruise are a must - we learnt so much from Mike and Dean. Last but not least, the food Gift prepared for us was the best I have tasted in any restaurant for a long time. He is really a brilliant chef.

Peaceful, relaxing, stunning views.

Our stay was lovely. Single mom travelling with her 10-year-old daughter. Absolutely stunning location, spacious room and fully equipped for self-catering. The host welcomed us and was amazing. Will definitely come again.

Lieflik! Gerieflik!

Perfekte sagte landing na 'n kuier in Koffiebaai. Hoogs aanbeveel, dit was asemrowend mooi. Sonsondergang kry nuwe betekenis, en het dit vreeslik geniet om na die sterre te kyk terwyl ek in die bad gelê het. Baie goeie nagrus gehad. Lieflik!

Lovely! Comfortable!

Perfect soft landing after a visit to Coffee Bay. Highly recommended, it was breathtakingly beautiful. Sunset takes on new meaning, and thoroughly enjoyed looking at the stars as I lay in the bath. Had a very good night's rest. Lovely!

A welcoming, relaxing place to stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at African Safari Lodge. The lodge is very homely, and the assistant was super helpful. The food prepared by our personal chef was so delicious. The surrounding area was so beautiful, and we felt so relaxed during our stay. We also really enjoyed the game drive we went on.

Good day, Sue Anne. Thank you for taking the time to send us your valued review. It was an absolute pleasure having you stay with us at African Safari Lodge, and we appreciate your kind words and feedback. We would love to welcome you back, perhaps, for the Sundown River Cruise.

Ons het dit baie geniet, weer het nou nie so lekker saamgepeel nie, verder ten spyte van alles fantasties.

Ons het baie lekker ontbyt gehad, eienaars baie vriendelik, mense en aangenaam, het ons tuis laat voel, en daar is nog groot planne om die plek te verbeter en die pad, daar was nie wild te sien en ons het die gevoel van die Oos-Kaap elke oomblik geniet, fantasies plek, uiters netjiies, Sal weer wil gaan.

We enjoyed it a lot, weather didn't cooperate so well, otherwise despite everything fantastic.

We had a very nice breakfast, owners very friendly, people and pleasant, made us feel at home, and there are still big plans to improve the place and the road, there was no wildlife to see and we have the feeling of the East -Cape enjoyed every moment, fantastic place, extremely tidy, Will want to go again.

Ons het 'n wonderlike tydjie gehad.

Was net ontsteld Sondagoggend toe daar geen krag was nie, ons moes in koue water stort, kon nie koffie drink nie. Daar was glo 'n elektriese probleem iewers. Dis 'n wonderlike plek, hou van die rustigheid, hou ook baie van die uitsit van elke kamer. Die lodge is vir my so pragtig.

Was just upset Sunday morning when there was no power, we had to shower in cold water, couldn't drink coffee. Apparently there was an electrical problem somewhere. It's a great place, love the tranquility, also love the layout of each room. The lodge is so beautiful to me.

Baie luukse eenheid wat geleë is in 'n pragtige natuur/bosomgewing.

Die eenheid was aangebied teen 'n spesiale tarief wat dit uitstekende waarde vir geld gemaak het. Baie luukse eenheid wat baie goed toegerus is. In 'n pragtige bebosde gebied met 'n pragtige uitsig en baie privaat. Ons het die verblyf geweldig geniet en sal enige tyd weer soontoe gaan.

Wegbreek vir huweliksherdenking

Die rustigheid self. Al wat ons wou hê is stilte, kalmte, natuur, isolasie. Ons het dit gekry en veel meer. Debbie was 'n absolute ster en het ons laat ontvang nadat ons vervoerprobleme gehad het. Die grondpad in was nogal 'n uitdaging maar dit was deel van die avontuur vir ons, ons het lekker gelag. Pragtige ligging. Skoon en netjies. Lyk presies soos op die webwerf se foto's. Bad en stort, TV, ingerigte kombuis met al die essentials. Sal die Lodge beslis aanbeveel.

Wedding anniversary getaway

The tranquility itself. All we wanted was silence, calm, nature, isolation. We got it and much more. Debbie was an absolute star and received us late after we had transport issues. Entering the dirt road was quite a challenge but it was part of the adventure for us, we had a good laugh. Beautiful location. Clean and tidy. Looks exactly like the website photos. Bath and shower, TV, equipped kitchen with all the essentials. Would definitely recommend the Lodge.

Luuks, rustig, gasvry.

Ons is warm ontvang, ons eenheid was luuks en het regtig alles ingehad waaraan ons moontlik kon dink. Die stoep/braai area het 'n pragtige uitsig en ons het magiese rustigheid ervaar.

Rustig en gemaklik

As jy 'n sakpaswegbreekplekkie soek om te ontspan, is African Safari Lodge 'n wenplan! Ek en my vrou het heerlik gerus en die eenheid het alles wat jy nodig het vir ’n heerlike, rustige paar aande. Ons was bevoorreg om kameelperde, buffels en verskeie ander boksoorte te sien. Die uitsig vanaf die stoep is pragtig. Ons was in die Winter daar, so die kuier was beperk tot binne die eenheid in die aand, maar ek dink in die Somer sal ’n braai op die stoep net die ding wees. Debbie was uiters behulpsaam en Nkululeko het gehelp met alles wat nodig was. Sal graag weer wil kom rus.

Quiet and comfortable

If you're looking for a pocket-sized getaway to relax, African Safari Lodge is a winning plan! My wife and I had a wonderful rest and the unit has everything you need for a lovely, peaceful few evenings. We were privileged to see giraffes, buffaloes and various other species of antelope. The view from the porch is beautiful. We were there in the Winter, so the visit was limited to inside the unit in the evening, but I think in the Summer a braai on the stoep would be just the thing. Debbie was extremely helpful and Nkululeko helped with everything needed. Would love to come and rest again.

Wonderful place to spend a weekend with friends.

The accommodation was fantastic. Have everything that one needs for a self catering weekend away. Decor lovely and kitchen well equipped. Debbie from the lodge is very helpful. Bedrooms are great, all with en suite. Maybe all rooms require a fan though or an air con especially for the summer months as it was 39 degrees on Saturday, super hot. Overall a wonderful experience and great place to stay!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Saw so many animals from our stoep that we hardly needed to go anywhere, though a cycle and canoe trip helped us see even more close up.

Lekker gebly, maar sou dit meer geniet het as hulle ons wel sou kon akkommodeer met etes.

Die verblyf was heerlik. Was net baie teleurgesteld dat hulle etes op versoek adverteer, maar die dag toe ons sou inboek is ons meegedeel dat geen etes aangebied gaan word nie. Verder het ons bure in die aangrensende eenheid wel etes gekry. Onverklaarbaar!

Nice stay, but would have enjoyed it more if they could have accommodated us with meals.

The stay was wonderful. Was just very disappointed that they advertise meals on request, but the day we were to check in we were told that no meals would be offered. Furthermore, our neighbors in the adjoining unit did get meals. Inexplicable!
