Lovely views from the deck where excellent breakfast was served. Lovely choice of jams as well as hot food made to order. The melon and ginger jam was especially delicious. The river trip kindly arranged for us was great. We got to walk over the dunes and see more of the stunning scenery and colourful birds and learn some of the history of the area. Our 2 rooms were like a mini suite and perfect for us. The location was very peaceful. We had already been on several safaris, but if you hadn't the lodge is a good base as it is very close to the entrance to Addo Elephant Park and also only about 20 mins from Schotia game reserve.

I wish we could have stayed a week. The view, surroundings, a true gem tucked neatly against the solitude of the river. Loved every moment.

We were a party of 3 adults. Staying 3 nights. Our hosts were lovely and welcomed us after a long day. We booked the river lodge which was plenty of room and well appointed. Breakfast was cooked With fresh juice and cereal options. If you have a diet restriction l would ask before you book as there was no gluten free bread, however the bread came hot and fresh.We were recommended a restaurant down the road for dinners that was a great price and the food was also value for money.. Beds very firm, we would have preferred softer beds, electric blankets provided in each room, necessary in the colder months. We would highly recommend this B&B.

Great location as minutes to Addo elephant park and the Storm river mouth . Owners were so nice, I could have sat and listened to them all day ! Very knowledgeable. If we had stayed longer we would have booked a trip out with them . Lovely view of the river. Breakfast was great. Rooms were good, comfortable beds.
