Clean spot beautiful chalets and amazing staff

The Food was good, the rooms with lot of space and the location

Absolutely EVERYTHING!!!! It was the best stay we’ve had! The gardens are just gorgeous. The pool and kids play area made my kids stay incredible, and the breakfast was out of this world. We felt like royalty! The rooms were also spacious and spotless. Cannot wait to stay there again in the future.

Staff went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Top notch.

Awesome staff, dinner offered was great & the property is beautiful!

This is my 2nd time staying at Gerald's Gift Guest House and I 100% recommend staying here if you are visiting Addo Elephant Park It's nice and close to the park and it's so tranquil after a big day at the park. The staff are lovely and the food at the eatery was wonderful. The rooms are fabulous and they cater for all needs

wonderful space. family business with wonderful staff

We had a wonderful stay, it's very picturesque and there is so much nature and wildlife. Heinrich was amazingly helpful and booked an amazing guided tour for us to the elephant national park and really went above and beyond to accommodate us. Would highly recommend 👌!

Very comfortable accommodation, close to the National Park. Food was all fabulous

Luxurious accommodations in beautiful setting near Addo.

What a lovely family! Since I started booking, I've been receiving some instructions, recommendations, and, best of all, some help! Because we were coming from another city, 2 hours away from Addo, and we would have a Safari day and a Safari game night, the owner allowed us to arrive late and helped with everything, even in the rain. In the room, there were lemons, a kettle, tea, coffee, and we could heat ourselves up a little more and have a delicious warm shower. In the morning, when I woke up, I asked to go around and Keith told me to walk the dogs in the backyard! Their plantations! I loved the experience and I was in love with everything! Thank you so much!

Nicky was amazing an amazing host !! She organized a dinner reservation and a game drive safari for us. That made our stay very exceptional.

The hosts were very accommodating and friendly. While self-driving through Addo, they were texting me updates as to where animals were spotted. Also there was a friendly cat by our door every night and the pool area was a great for relaxing inbetween safaris!

Private pool. Air conditioning.

Excellent views, wild life was amazing to see, elephant walk was excellent. Room comfort was incredible and the staff were very sweet and always on top of their game to help with no waiting time!

Fantastic views and very peaceful place!!!

Everything from the views from our window, to the lush accommodation, to the kindest hosts, and yummy breakfast. This place is super special and will always be remembered by us. Highly recommend.

Fabulous breakfast at a lovely nearby guest lodge.

The rooms were beautiful. Clean and housekeeping comes every day. The grounds are beautiful and it’s so peaceful. The location on a hilltop makes for stunning views. The food is delicious. They cater to you as guests in every aspect. They even turn your bed down prior to you going to sleep. The staff are friendly and personable. The games drives are excellent and the drivers, Saul and Johann are very knowledgeable.

River Bend Lodge is a truly special place. We were warmly welcomed by Chris (manager) and John (our ranger) and Rachel wo guided us around the property and to our suites. Throughout our stay we were genuinely pampered by an incredibly friendly, smiling team who made everything feel effortless and personal. Zuzu cooked with all her heart the dinner. Chris was discretely present and very alert of our well-being. The lodge is beautifully set in the bush, offering remarkable privacy, space, and tranquility. The suites are generously spaced, ensuring a deep sense of exclusivity and calm. We lived the outdoor shower! You really feel as if the bush belongs to you alone. The safaris are exceptionally interesting and engaging, made unforgettable by our private guide, John. Having him on five game drives was such a huge privilege. The bush is clearly his home. His knowledge is so vast, his storytelling captivating, and his passion infectious. Every drive felt personal, educational, and so entertaining, never rushed and never routine. Our expectation had by far been exceeded and we will keep memories for ever of these tours and wild animals, and of John. We highly recommend the River Bend Lodge to anyone seeking an intimate, high-quality safari experience with outstanding guiding and a true sense of place.

Other than our beautiful room, we really loved the braai area with the very beautiful and convenient sitting area.

The staff and the view and setting. Also the food was great! Very comfortable!

The staff was very friendly and the owners also. Nice and quiet, good advice. Worth stopping and staying for a night or more. Even saw some lions in the park.

Amazing location, hospitality, expert ranger guides and a wonderful first safari for our group. It’s not cheap but worth every penny as the staff go out of their way to ensure an optimal, personalized and extraordinary experience. Chiavan was a delight and his knowledge of the fauna and flora was endlessly inspiring and informative.

Flew to PE and then rented a car and stayed at a pastoral, bucolic farm cottage at the Addo Park Vista on the Sundays River in Colchester. Obstructionist cows (on a sit down strike) kept me company and I thoroughly enjoyed the large walk-in shower, comfortable lodgings and the excellent connectivity in a somewhat remote setting. My dinner at the Taste of Africa restaurant with its lush, garden setting was outstanding. Much enjoyed the chicken livers peri-peri and the Greek salad. Had to take the chicken chile pasta home but enjoyed this as a picnic dish today while traversing through Addo National Park on my way to Makhanda.

this place is fantastic in all aspects - be it the wonderful host, the spacious room, the comfy beds ... 15 out of 15 points - Thank you Katie for your hospitality

What a lovely quiet place. Super friendly personnel. Great breakfast. Beautiful and spacious suite. We loved all of it!
