Situated at the base of the wild Tsitsikamma Mountains, The Fernery overlooks an impressive 30-metre waterfall in the Sanddrift River gorge. The deck area boasts a cocktail bar and free WiFi is available throughout.

The spacious rooms and suites are individually decorated and filled with light. Some rooms have fireplaces and offer scenic views. The elegant bathrooms have floor heating and heated towel rails. Just perfect! Just out in the bush everything was clean and comfortable. The most friendly staff and a good kitchen. Great hiking possibilities as well to enjoy nature. They are building a new restaurant and will turn parts of the old restaurant/bar into rooms. Just hope they keep some parts of the current restaurant for a drink since it has the most beautiful views!

Guests at the lodge can enjoy a continental breakfast.

Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium is 49 km from the lodge, while Uitenhage Railway Station is 46 km away. Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport is 54 km from the property, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. The villa and luxury tent were great to stay in and we all slept well! We were close to nature and saw a lot of animals in our short stay, we should have booked for longer! It is a perfect location for a family or business event. Breakfast was prepared in the villa by the breakfast team and everyone loved it! The wood fired hot tubs are great too!

Located 200 metres from Owl House Museum, Furrows Lodge offers an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi.

All units come with a patio with garden views, a kitchenette with a fridge and a microwave, and a private bathroom with shower. A toaster and kettle are also provided. We stayed at the Die Waenhuis cottage in the middle of the village. Inside is original, artistic and extremely well appointed. Lovely, lush veranda and garden. We could use the splash pool at the Furrows. Althea and Aubrie were great hosts. We will definitely come again.

Offering mountain views, Harmony Luxury Tents & Safari in Addo offers accommodation, a garden, a terrace and a bar. Both WiFi and private parking are accessible at the lodge free of charge.

Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium is 45 km from Harmony Luxury Tents & Safari, while Port Elizabeth Golf Club is 48 km away. Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport is 55 km from the property, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. Harmony seriously has the wow factor. The tents are so luxurious and the views from each one are very special. Opening all the windows created an amazing view that was so relaxing and brings nature into the tent. (Windows are mosquito safe so no problems there). The best experience ever. Mike and Mariejke are one of the best hosts I have experienced. True down to earth hospitality. We certainly made new friends with them. Booking the evening meal is a must! Mariejke is an amazing cook and Mike a Braai master! The food was just delicious. Such great value for money and the atmosphere in the evening was super. The friendliest people and they gave great tips for travellers. They recommended the Walking Giraffe safari on the neighbouring property and was an experience you won't forget. All in all this was wonderful and will be going back anytime I am in the Eastern Cape. You cannot go wrong staying there. Perfect location for Addo Elephant Park which was not far away. We stayed 3 nights but would have stayed longer if we had known how incredible it was. We made some lovey memories there.

Located in Addo, Charihandra Game Lodge features free WiFi throughout, air conditioning and private parking is available on-site. Guests can enjoy swimming at the outdoor pool.

Port Elizabeth is 35 km from Charihandra Game Lodge, whereas Addo is 19.4 km away. Chrihandra has suffered damage from the strong winds and relocated me to a partner property. They were extremely attentive and covered my expenses in the other place which was equally good and equipped! I look forward to stay at Charihandra in the future!
