Featuring a swimming pool, a garden, a terrace and views of the river, Ndlovu Addo River Lodge is set in Kirkwood and offers accommodation with free WiFi.

A barbecue is available on site and both fishing and canoeing can be enjoyed within close proximity of the lodge. We had a wonderful stay at the River Cottage. The attention to detail throughout the property was impressive and made a noticeable difference in our experience. From the cozy atmosphere to the thoughtful touches, everything was designed with comfort and warmth in mind. The cottage was incredibly inviting and well-equipped, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. A special thanks to Sophia who is a fantastic host who truly goes the extra mile to ensure her guests feel welcomed and well-cared for. We truly enjoyed our time there and are already looking forward to returning.

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!

Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium is 45 km from Harmony Luxury Tents & Safari, while Port Elizabeth Golf Club is 48 km away.

We stayed at Harmony in the off season and we were actually the only ones there. Apart from the beautiful tent and view from the tent, we could see so many starts and the entire milkiway from our balcony, which was mesmerizing. Apart from all of that Mike is a very nice host and we had some good talks, he made us lovely dinner and breakfast and helped us if needed and provided recommendations and directions.

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. The last 3,5km from the entrance gate to the lodge are pretty adventurous, but once you are there, you will enjoy stunning views of the dam and green hills. We enjoyed the tranquility - a perfect place, if you just want to relax. You can order food, which they bring to your place. But we decided for self catering, as the kitchen is fully equipped (from stove to microwave and fridge). WiFi was good and we loved the terrace for the views! Driving to the gate in the mornings we saw some antilopes, many warthogs and a herd of buffalos.
