Our host is a great man. He has a beautiful and very safe place. Clean rooms and linen and the water as well. With bed heaters, you won't worry about the cold in winter. The house has everything you need during your stay.Nono is a wonderful and amazing woman she did her best to make our stay enjoyable.. the location is great.

You have to know all activities start from Addo main camp (45min from south gate) except self drive you can drive from south gate next to your stay. Definitely, i will come again and highly recommend it to everyone.

The property was really great, the hosts Juanita and Attie were great to talk to and are very warm and friendly hosts. The property was modern, clean and filled with beautiful art. I wish we could have stayed there longer to enjoy both the studio and their company.

The stay at Addo Riverside Manor was amazing. The accomodation is beautiful and the owners are so friendly, helpful and nice. Also the rooms are so pretty and the breakfast that was included was tasty. There is also the possibility to swim in the indoor pool or even the river that flows alongside the apartment and the enchanting garden. Last but not least the drive to the southern gate of Addo National Park is just about 5 minutes which is really great if you aim to see the animals in the early morning. All in all I can really recommend a stay in Addo Riverside Manor. We enjoyed it.

The location is perfect as we were also going for a day visit at the Addo Elephant national park, which was also organised for us at Dungbeetle, in their very comfortable and well equipped Safari with a great knowledgeable guide. This is just the highlight, everything about our stay was perfect, not to mention the breakfast, you do not want to miss it!

We had such an amazing experience at Elephant's Footprint Lodge. The staff were so friendly and accomodating to our needs. The rooms are extremely spacious and I loved the rustic thatch roof and outdoor stone shower. The cosy lounge area is amazing with the fire and the food was exceptional! The location is fantastic for exploring the Addo region. I would highly recommend staying at the lodge.
