The bed was comfy AF, and the breakfast was straight fire. Plus, it's so close to Addo National Park, we were seeing lions and elephants in no time! The host fam was mad friendly, they even hooked us up with a lit dinner by the chimney. HIGHLY recommended!
The only thing that could've been better for young party-goers like us is if there was a sick pool or DJ party scene at the lodge. But hey, we made our own fun, so it's all good!

I keep coming back to this place because it has everything I need - free parking, AC, airport shuttle. The staff is helpful, they suggested good places to eat on my first stay. Can't wait to return for Christmas!

The location was awesome, only like a km from the entrance to Addo Park. We got to see wild animals strolling around and chilling by the pool. The owner was super cool and made us feel at home. Definitely coming back for more adventure!
Just one thing, we wished there was a proper party area or a DJ playing some sick beats. It would have been insane to have a party atmosphere for us young party animals!

We got excellent value for our money at Parkview Safari Lodge. The room was incredibly comfortable, and the views of the park were breathtaking. The location was perfect, just minutes away from the Addo Elephant National Park and the Colchester Sand Dunes. The host family was extremely helpful and friendly, making our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this accommodation.
The breakfast could have been improved by offering a wider variety of options.

The guestroom at ParkView Lodge was amazing! The bed was so comfy, and the air conditioning kept me cool all night. Plus, the free WiFi was a great bonus for staying connected. I also loved having free bottled water in the room. It felt like a home away from home.
Personally, I found the hairdryer in the bathroom a bit weak. But hey, that's just my preference.

We had a blast exploring Addo National Park, just a short distance away. Seeing the elephants up close was insane! And the safari guide was wicked cool, showing us all the amazing animals. The lodging was rad too, with spacious tents that made us feel like true adventurers. Can't wait to go back!
If there's one thing we wished for, it would be a bit more nightlife and party atmosphere. We love to have fun and dance the night away, so it would have been awesome if there were some cool bars or clubs nearby.

We absolutely loved our stay at Parkview Safari Lodge! We stayed for a few nights while exploring Addo Park, and the location was perfect since the entrance was just around the corner. The luxury tent was clean and had everything we needed, although it did get quite cold in April, so remember to bring warm clothes. The privacy of the tent was fantastic, and the star gazing at night was breathtaking. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, providing us with wood for a braai and even offering to help us light it. We also enjoyed seeing the variety of animals on the property, including birds, buck, sheep, and donkeys. a truly memorable and comfortable experience for our family, especially with the provided amenities for our little ones.
We do recommend this hotel.

The rooms at Parkview Safari Lodge were amazing! The bedding was so comfy and the air conditioning kept us cool on those hot days. Plus, the free WiFi was a great bonus for staying connected with friends and family.
Personally, I wasn't a fan of the electric kettle in the double room. But hey, that's just my taste and others might still find it useful.

We had a fantastic stay at Parkview Safari Lodge! Despite our initial concerns about staying in a tent with young children, the experience was perfect. The park grounds were stunning and well-maintained, and the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They provided us with everything we needed, including a high chair, camping beds, and a microwave. Our kids loved the playground, swimming pool, and the opportunity to see small animals up close. The beds in the tent were the most comfortable we've had on our entire trip. Karen and her daughter were wonderful hosts, making us feel at home. a memorable and enjoyable experience!
Do recommend this hotel.

Close to Addo South gate, catered to our needs as a family of 5. Spacious luxury family tent with comfortable beds, great linen, and amenities like hairdryer, plugs, and adapters. Aircon and heaters with extra bedding for comfort. Beautiful bathroom with shower and bath. Fridge and microwave provided, extra crockery for kids. Great wifi and stunning view from the stoep with a braai. Daily cleaning service, free roaming animals, jungle gym, and swimming pool for kids. Delicious breakfast with the best omelet, and friendly staff like Karin. Bonus elephant sightings. Leaving super relaxed! Hosts Karen and her daughter were excellent. Convenient location near Addo exit gate. Enjoyed interaction with resident buck, donkeys, sheep, and camel. Best place in South Africa with comfortable beds, amazing food, incredible stars, and divine staff. Highly recommend!

The tent we stayed in was extraordinary and had everything we needed. Carol, the manager, was lovely and really cared about our experience. the lodge is located less than 5 minutes away from Addo Elephant Park, providing a great view and a peaceful, natural setting. Surprisingly, there were very few insects in the tent. It was super comfortable with all the amenities, and the location was amazing, with the opportunity to see animals in the park from the accommodation premises. We also enjoyed the pool and booked a game reserve tour through the lodge. a fantastic location for Addo Elephant Park visitors with a lovely view and friendly staff!
Couldn't fault it. 😊.

We stayed at this fantastic hotel for two nights as we wanted to visit Addo Elephant National Park. The location was perfect, just 1 km away from the park entrance. The owner of the property was incredibly welcoming and made our stay enjoyable. The breakfast was delicious and served by a friendly waitress. The room we stayed in exceeded our expectations, it was spacious and spotlessly clean. The highlight was seeing wild antelopes and other animals roaming around the property, including a small orphan springbok being cared for by the owners. Truly an amazing experience!
Would highly recommend this hotel.

Loved the location! It was so convenient being close to the entrance of the national park entrance. The staff were super friendly and helpful. They gave great recommendations and made us feel welcome.- The room was spacious and comfortable, and we loved having a braai area right at our unit.
The maintenance of the property could use some improvement. We had issues with doors, curtains, hot water, and plumbing.

We loved the luxurious tented accommodation, complete with a spacious bed and a bathroom with a nice bath. the staff was absolutely wonderful, going above and beyond to make our stay special. the location near the Addo Elephant Park South Gate was fantastic, allowing us to easily access the park. the swimming pool was clean and inviting, and we enjoyed spotting antelope and abundant birdlife on the property.
Felt spoilt, no complaints.
