Cottages in Sundays River Valley

"Amazing stay we had. The service, the room, the view, everything is wow. I love the garden, it is so good. The Service, I think, is the best one I've experienced so far. The staff even washed my car when I parked there. WOW Thank you very much, Hitgeheim Country Lodge. I will be back. "

"We enjoyed our air conditioned room since the weather was over 90 degrees farenheit. The staff were friendly and nice. We had a quiet room. We chose the location because it is within 40 minutes of Addo elephant park, but road construction turned that into over an hour—not their fault. "

"Outstanding in every way. Service, staff, facilities, environment, world class dining, game drives, etc. Already planning our next stay."

"Nice staff. Well managed. Rooms clean, but not perfect "

"Our stay was incredible. Desmond, our guide, gave us some incredible sights and we were really lucky to see 4 out of the big 5 alongside various other interesting animals. The reserve is vast and there is plenty to see, the fact that there are various lodges across the reserve means even if you have a fairly quiet hotel, there are plenty of rangers out doing drives which helps your chances of animals being spotted and your ranger making their way there. The accomodation is lovely, a perfect room with comfortable bed and a view of a watering hole from your private plunge pool. This includes a free mini-bar which is perfect for dipping in to to spend time on the patio. The food was fantastic, very generous and well cooked portions and the service at dinner from Sheldon and Thambo was perfect. We weren't renting a car so got a private transfer from Martin who gave us some great info on the drive from PE and it felt like our trip started early! All in, a perfect stay and I wouldn't hesitate to return. My only regret was only booking two night. All in all, a faultless stay"

"Location was unique"

"Please note, that it is surrounded by a township. We were not super impressed by the food, which is basically an mix of typical European dishes and lacks all African. The electricity went off all the time during the evenings. Other than that the guesthouse itself was really beautiful. "
