"Fabulous view of the river and great location if visiting Addo (which I was doing); Amazing breakfast; Good wifi; very small TV; finicky use of solar power; Heating was not really recommended so I did not use it (but needed it); I have stayed here before and will return!"

"The lodge is located by the river, giving a nice view. Room is decorated in a classic way, but well equipped. Breakfast is super nice, especially spekboom! More importantly, whoever you are, the lady who taking care of me is awesome, Leona :)"

"It was a great place to stay. My wife, me and our little son stayed in the Elephant suite with view over towards the river. It was a clean little Apartement with everything you need. Very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious too. Strongly recommend this place if you want to visit the Addo Elephant Park. The South entrance is just a couple of minutes drive away. If you have time enough also visit person park. It's entrance is also just a minute away. Great place to spend some time. "

"From check-in to checkout our experience was first class. Breakfast was cooked to order and was delicious. The property is very quiet and comes with a private dock on the river. We definitely recommend staying here. "

"Hopewell is potentially a stupendous destination. Accommodation was excellent and luxurious. I feel they tried too hard to provide very fancy food that did not quite come off and this could be improved. They do not have the Big 5 but there is plenty of game to see and the Ranger is excellent. This is a fantastic location for a honeymoon or just a peaceful getaway in the Eastern Cape Bush."

"Die Lage des Cottage ist perfekt. Vom Bett aus konnten wir Elefanten und Kudu-Antilopen im Addo Park sehen. Aber auch direkt hinter dem Zaun des Grundstücks waren Warzenschweine und Antilopen unterwegs. Es war sauber, und alles da, was man benötigt. Die Feuerstelle lädt zum gemütlichen Zusammensitzen bei einem leckeren Wein ein. "

Schlüssel ist im Dorfcafe abzuholen ! Wäre toll wenn man die Info vorher bekäme. Ansonsten perfektes Haus in einsamer Lage !"

"Wir haben die Unterkunft gebucht, da sie laut Beschreibung schallgedämmte Zimmer und eine Klimaanlage haben sollte. Leider waren die Nachbarn extrem laut und die Klimaanlage fehlte!
Aber wo soll man sich beschweren? Kaum hat man gezahlt, ist man ausgeliefert. Funktioniert über AirBNB besser."

"Found Chrislin Lodge very comfortable and relaxing.
Well organised establishment, safe with friendly staff.
Close to Addo Elephant park, only downside was the condition of the access roads, where road works are being conducted."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Port Elizabeth
10/10 Excellent
"Loved everything about this hotel. Easy access to beach and small shopping area to pick up necessities and dining options. Staff was top notch! Great property! "
"It was a pleasant stay. Especially since it was a last-minute booking and the staff went out of their way to accommodate my son and I. Would love to have my own remote for the gate next time I pop in. But overall, a neat little gem. Value for money..."
"This hotel is absolutely GORGEOUS! Every detail is solidly and thoughtfully constructed, from the chair rail lining the hallway to the sliding bathroom door. But form without function is of little value, and the staff brings the function in spades. Everyone we met went out of their way to answer our questions. Special shout out to Reginald at the concierge desk-he was kind, knowledgeable and generous with his time and helped us to book an amazing outing! He knows the area and the hotel inside out and made our stay even better.
The property is located across from the beach-it’s an easy 5 minute walk to the water and the pier as well. There are many restaurants adjacent-don’t skip Hello Beach! for some truly delicious food. There are also several restaurants and bars within the property, and a gorgeous indoor pool plus a stunning outdoor pool as well. We will definitely be back!"
"Excellent stop off. Reception staff were great. Room was comfortable. Shower hot and welcome. 2 minutes walk in the dark a little scary but easy to find. "
"Conveniently located near the N2 road to Port Elizabeth and very close to the south entrance of Addo Elephant park. The B&B is beautifully presented, comfortable, clean, quiet and lovely hosts who make you feel welcome and at home. In the morning I was surprised to be right by the river, eating a lovely cooked breakfast on the decking outside. I hope I get the opportunity to stay here again. Thank you "
"Friendly staff, very clean inside room and outside. I like the quietness I will definitely visit again and even refer a friend. Shops pubs and public transport 1 min away"
"Such Friendly staff not the big hitel stay but all the comforts large room clean tranquil and this in the city wow . Food was excellent the kitchen staff went out of their way to accommodate me and my son at Nationals swim withe meals "
"The highlight of our holiday to South Africa!
A beautiful lodge with comfortable air con and tranquility (and yes a few necessary spiders) but providing the most incredible authentic experience of the wildlife, animals, birds, flora and fauna of this game reserve. Food and wine were excellent and plentiful, the service was superb, including gin and tonics during our afternoon game drive!
We had an excellent guide, Greg, with such a knowledge and passion for his work as a guide, and he led us to observe over 60 species over the course of 2 days and 4 game drives, starting with a wake up call at 5.30am for the pre-dawn game drive til 9.30am, then a second at 4pm lasting til nearly 8pm. He drove us through a fantastic storm, thunder and lightning and an impressive downpour which had us soaked but we saw so much! Listening to him explaining the habits of turtles, giraffes, buffalo and rhinos was an education, and will stay with us for life.The memories of elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, lions, ostriches fighting a jackal, a spotted eagle owl capturing a frog at night, secretary birds stalking their prey, a brown hyena and a family of bat-eared foxes… and the white rhinos and hippo, it was all simply wonderful!
Many many thanks for the best experience ever. We hope very much to return one day."
"From the time that we walked in until we left, our Hosts and their staff treated us extremely well. Our room was amazing and the cooked to order breakfast was well done. Fresh fruit, yogurt, granola many different varieties of tea and at least 6 different kinds of jam were offered. I can see why Amery House has so many great reviews. We definitely recommend staying here."
"From check-in to checkout our experience was first class. Breakfast was cooked to order and was delicious. The property is very quiet and comes with a private dock on the river. We definitely recommend staying here. "
"We felt the on site restaurant could have offered more selection especially on starters one of which stayed the same for 3 nights and the other was a soup which did change but it wasn't exactly exciting. There are not many other restaurant choices in the area. "
"Room is clean and well equipped with kitchenette. No aircon, so that's a big negative if you're staying in summer. If you check out early, there's no key drop-off at the remote access gate, so you have to park your vehicle in the driveway, blocking the gate from closing, then run back and drop the key in the reception area. Inconvenient. "
"The Beachwalk is the most charming BnB I’ve ever visited. The property is nearly on the beach, it’s clean and quaint. Each room is a bit unique and opens to a beautiful courtyard and pool. Breakfast is served by the hosts each morning and is plentiful, hot and delicious. The owners are delightful and attentive and absolutely helpful in setting up wonderful tours and activities. This was my second stay and I’ll surely return. "
