A lovely place to visit. The chalets were well-equipped, clean and nice and cool with a lovely balcony. The restaurant is decent and serves good food and wine. The most frustrating this is how the pool area has been neglected. It is actually a nice pool but the surrounding grass areas are not tended, barren patches and uncut grass even round the pool edge. If the ground was levelled (currently on slopes) it would be an easy remedy. There is also little shade and about 3 sun loungers, not easy for several families that visited when we were there. What they really need is someone to properly manage the pool (not leave a hose on all day to irrigate which just runs down the slope and creates a swamp!) Some nice parasols and better sun loungers too would be nice.

We did the 5 Day Garden Route Tour to explore more of beautiful South Africa. Our guide Mawande made this trip unforgettable. He knows so much about the country, it's history and the people. As we were a small group he adapted to our individual preferences throughout the day and gave lots of recommendations for what to do at each place. He knows the best spots! Our highlights were the Garden Route Game Drives, the Ostrich farm and the beautiful beach at Jeffreys Bay. For anyone who wants to experience a lot in a short amount of time, this is your trip!

We actually took the 5-day Garden Route tour with BokBus in December 2022. Sorry for the delayed review, due to ill health last year. It was a wonderful trip and one of the highlights of our tour was our guide and driver, Benjamin. He was a great driver, very knowledgeable about the route and all the sights he took us to. Very friendly and caring, especially the last day when I had a fall and he did everything he could to take care of me. Thanks Benjamin! The views along this route are incredible. We absolutely loved the penguin colony, Addo Elephant Park and the two game drives at the Garden Route Lodge, which were amazing. Accommodations were good to very good, and the Garden Route Lodge in particular was spectacular. The food was excellent in every place we stayed at. I highly recommend this tour and this tour company!

The tour guide was great! We went during Christmas and we did the tour backwards. We had a really great time and tour guide ‘Mawande’ was great and very flexibel. We would not recommend to do the 5 day trip. 3 is enough. The last two days we spend almost the whole day in the bus. That was too much. At day 4 it was 5 hours and on day 5 we spend 6 hours on the bus. We think you can skip Jeffrey's bay. It is just a beach and we had dinner at a hostel. Cool if you are 25 years old, but not for us. So we are enthusiastic about the first 3 days. The safari was great! And we slept in very pretty lodges. +we are a gay couple and that was no problem at all +the safari +stay in lodges +tour guide ‘Mawande’ -sitting in the bus for so long -Jeffrey’s bay stay. The hotel, the town and the food. *couple from the Netherlands
