히게헤임 컨트리 로지 & 에코 리저브

Wonderful experience with lovely spacious well equipped bedroom and very comfortable super king bed. Massive bathroom and the additional outdoor shower with sensational views and your own outdoor pool was a fantastic added bonus along with the complimentary port decanter . Incredible views and great food from the dining room along with the very cool idea of being able to choose your wine for dinner from the Lodge’s underground cellar . Lovely “relaxed informal family hospitality” ambience with classic Lodge decor . The only minor criticism would be no heated towel rails in the bathroom which in late Autumn can mean damp towels the next morning ( a problem potentially solved with the evening turn down service replacing wet towels but that didn’t always work ) Any other time of the year it’s not going to be a problem . Can thoroughly recommend if you’re visiting nearby Addo on game drives.

What an amazing experience! The lodge was beautiful (even more beautiful than the pictures) and there even a few zebras on the property. The rooms were spacious, very comfortable, and had beautiful views from the balconies. The staff were outstanding and so very customer focus. Roscha and Darlington were outstanding and so attentive to every detail. My friend and I were very impressed! The owners Martin Sr. and Martin Jr. were very helpful and we appreciated their support during our stay! I would highly recommend the 2 safaris offered, and a Dunes ride tour, if you have an extra day. When I go to a place where I have high expectations, I am normally disappointed. Not the Hitgeheim Country Lodge, it surpassed my expectations in every way. I would strongly recommend the lodge to anyone traveling to the Port Elizabeth/Addo Elephant National Park area in South Africa.

We stayed 2 nights in a superior de luxe room. The rooms are spacious, with comfy beds, chairs and huge bathroom. We also had our own pool and outside shower. The room had great views over the valley and river. Beds turned down each evening and free sherry. Breakfast is self serve cols and hit dishes to order. We booked dinner on both nights - 4 courses, choices are made after breakfast. We also went on the Addo game drive, which sets of at 8 am. It's a 25km drive to the park in a god truck. Your driver is your guide ( take your drink and poss a jacket on cooler days) . Lunch is provided by the hotel which was very filling. The road to the hotel is unmade so be wary if in a hire car, also lots of road works in the area so allow extra time.

Hitgehuim exceeded our expectation. We booked one of their new "self catering " units. It was well equipped, comfortable, and beautifully furnished and decorated. It had its own fully private, splash pool. The staff were helpfull. Nothing was too much trouble. We also used their restaurant at times. The meals were scrumptious. As birders the place was ideal. It was also in close proximity to Addo Elephant park.

The relaxed atmosphere with superb view over the Sundays River Valley made an excellent start to three days of good food, wine and pleasure. The game drive was excellent, with absolute stunning sightings of the elephants accompanied by a picnic lunch.

We had an amazing stay here. The rooms are fabulous with great views. The food and wine are excellent. Breakfast is incredible; too much food!! All the staff are really welcoming and so helpful. My husband was taken poorly on the day we checked out. They were able to book us back into the same room and helped unload the car.........such great customer service.
