Found Chrislin Lodge very comfortable and relaxing. Well organised establishment, safe with friendly staff. Close to Addo Elephant park, only downside was the condition of the access roads, where road works are being conducted.

It is a beautiful property, near the main roadso easy to find. The staff are all lovely, friendly etc. The main problem was a mix up with my partners breakfast, the order was not correct when he cleary stated what he wanted. Nothing major but annoying and shouldn't happen

The traditional style of this lodge makes it a lovely setting. This was our second stay at the lodge (after a gap of 11 years!), and it was even better than we remembered. Highly recommended. Wifi could be stronger, and laundry service offered on premises would be appreciated.

Sehr originelle LehmhĂŒtten. Ausgezeichnete MenĂŒs am Abend, zu einem supergĂŒnstigen Preis. Was wir leider ein wenig vermisst haben: die gesamte Anlage ist ein Traum der Betreiber. Doch diese haben sich fast gar nicht blicken lassen und schon gar nicht den Kontakt zu ihren GĂ€sten geaucht. Das ist doch sehr schade!!!

Super Lodge

Das GelĂ€nde ist sehr schön angelegt. Es gibt mehrere mit Reet gedeckte HĂ€uschen, ein Essenshaus, einen Poolbereich und einen Kinderspielplatz. Das GelĂ€nde ist sehr weitlĂ€ufig und mit vielen BĂ€umen (u.a. Orangen) und Pflanzen bewachsen. Mit dem Auto kann direkt auf der FlĂ€che geparkt werden. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und es hatte einen tollen Service. Neben inbegriffenem FrĂŒhstĂŒck konnte man auch ein sehr leckeres Abendessen immer dazubuchen, mit Super Preis-LeistungsverhĂ€ltnis. Uns wurde angeboten, am nĂ€chsten Tag einen Game-Drive durch den Addo Elephant Park, inklusive Grillen, zu buchen. Daran teilzunehmen, war eine der besten Entscheidungen unseres Urlaubs. Wir haben unter anderem Löwen, Elefanten, Zebras, Warzenschweine, BĂŒffel, Antilopen, Kudus und sogar ein Nashorn (was echt selten ist) gesehen. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön und originell eingerichtet, mit genĂŒgend Platz. Sie haben auch ein eigenes Badezimmer und waren sehr sauber. Es standen sogar Heizdecken bereit. Auf dem GelĂ€nde hat es auch 3 Hunde und 2 Katzen, die sehr zutraulich waren. Die Lodge liegt doch sehr in der Natur. Nachts sieht man die Milchstraße und FledermĂ€use und am nĂ€chsten Tag wird man vom Vogelgesang sanft geweckt. Checkout ist spĂ€testens um 10 Uhr.

Tolle Lodge vor den Toren des Addo Elephant Park

Die Lodge hat unsere Erwartungen voll ĂŒbertroffen. Wurden upgegraded und wohnten in den neueren RundhĂ€usern. Super schön und total urig! Die Stimmen der Tierwelt rundherum! Klasse! Die Klimanlage wurde zur Heizung was zu dieser Jahreszeit nötig war. Hatten mit Abendessen gebucht und es nicht bereut. Leckere Gerichte! Wir hatten wunderschöne Tage! Top!

Liebevolle gepflegte Anlage

Ein schöner Ort zum Ausruhen, OrangenbĂ€umw im Garten, sehr gutes Abendessen und FrĂŒhstĂŒck mit frischen FrĂŒchten. Liebe Hunde und Katzen. Einzige EinschrĂ€nkung: die HĂŒtten sind hundekalt, daher wahrscheinlich nur im Sommer zu empfehlen.
