Wonderful lodge with amazing views and a peaceful ambience. We were taken on an incredible once in a lifetime walking safari with giraffes by Keneels. We stayed in a beautiful spacious chalet with all the amenities comfortable beds and a large shower Great outdoor braai on the deck with more giraffe viewing. A stunning pool and beautifully designed main lodge full of thoughtful African touches and a large fireplace. An outdoor boma area, koi pond, and gorgeous gardens complete this amazing lodge. But the owners Vanessa and Keneels make the experience truly amazing. Thankyou.

Higly recommended! We are a family of 4: parents in their fifties and children reaching 30. We spent two nights here and had a great time. It's a family business with an authentic wildlife atmosphere. After arrival in the afternoon the owner took us with 5 other guest for a safari on his own private game reserve. We spotted the giraffes in no time and stood very close. He gave interesting information on wildlife, his land and the giraffes in paticular. Dinner in the lodge, honest and tasteful, one choice. Comfortable, clean and cosy rooms. Real countryside setting. Early breakfast and off to Addo. Should have booked the Addo-safari with the owner Kerneel, but we had a good day by ourselves. Another great dinner and good rest. We left after breakfast with a great experience and will definitely recommend this to friends.

The location was beautiful and the style of the property was a colonial farmhouse! The rooms were well appointed and the food was delicious. We liked the fact that there was no menu to choose from and you ate what was being prepared on the day. In our case it happened to be a delicious Christmas dinner. The property is on a working farm/wildlife sanctuary with the emphasis on giraffes. We had the privilege of walking with these beautiful giants under the close supervision of the owner. We enjoyed the stay so much that we will most certainly return

What we didn’t like it was so wonderful that we wished we had booked for longer!!!

We only stayed for one night, but it was an incredible experience! Our room was smaller and basic, exactly in line with what we booked and paid for—comfortable and cosy. What truly made our stay outstanding was the staff. Everyone we met including Vanessa, Nico and the owners daughters were exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to make our experience memorable. The highlight of our visit was the giraffe walk with Cornelius, the owner. The experience was absolutely breathtaking! Cornelius’s passion and knowledge shone through as he guided us and later joined us for dinner, patiently answering all our (many!) questions. He’s a fantastic storyteller, and his presence added so much value to our stay. The lodge itself offers a calm, tranquil atmosphere, perfect for relaxing. Breakfast was also excellent! Overall, this is a special place with amazing people—I highly recommend it.

Our 2 night stay here was amazing. The hosts and all the staff were friendly and helpful and had great advice on other places to visit. Our room was lovely, big and clean and the bed was confortable. We had breakfast and dinner on both days and the food was delicious and fresh. We opted to go on the Giraffe safari and it was very special indeed. Kerneels is a great guide, clearly loves and is very knowledgable about the animals and very patiently answered all of our questions.

Only wished we had time to stay longer!

The room was very good lodge accommodation. Position at top of a valley with nice garden and a view of the veld and game on opposite side of valley was great. Guests can take a walk around the surrounding farm and there is a very good chance of seeing Zebra, many Giraffe, Impala, Black Impala and several other big animals, I couldn't name. When we drove from lodge to main gate we came very close to approx 10 giraffe and several zebra - without even trying. Another real highlight of the stay was the dinners!! Vanessa and her daughter, Heinri, do a truly outstanding job - its like a top restaurant but only a few diners each night. The lodge is well positioned for a visit to Addo Elephant park - which is another great trip.

Great location, we were able to see some zebras and giraffes near the Property, which was amazing! The breakfast was really nice and their hospitality was lovely. The room itself was in a really good condition and the shower was great. The view was lovely from our accommodation. We had a car so managed to go to Addo National Park however without a car, this can be quite difficult. They were really helpful in giving us some more information about activities to do.

Felt like a home from home, super friendly - excellent service. The whole place is spotless with fabulous decor - tasty dinners! Biggest twin room I have seen on my travels. The giraffe evening walk is a must do - just superb - up very close to giraffe and zebra and they visited our lodge the next morning right outside Vanessa, Kerneels and family care passionately about their animals which is very evident - thank you for a wonderful stay!

The beds were quite firm but I guess everyone has different preferences

The whole experience was awesome. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. The venue is set in a beautiful country side, with lots of game to see. The Game drive was spectacular with us being able to walk with the Giraffe's. That was a true bucket list experience. The meals are really good and value for your money. We will definitely be back to stay with them.

That we didn't stay longer - will definitely book for a longer stay next time!

Was a lovely one night stay in a beautiful location on our way to the garden route. After a dip in the pool we went for a good nature walk and saw giraffes from a distance. The dinner was quality and so was the breakfast. When eating breakfast we could see Wilderbeast, and an eagle catching a snake whilst fending off a mongoose. An enjoyable stay,

I think they may have had issues with people eating in their rooms, the warnings were repeated quite often. Did not affect our stay
