A great hotel in a beautiful location. Lovely chalet with everything we needed but this location is all about the game drive which was really enjoyable with a friendly and informative ranger. Fresh and tasty food. All round a great one night stay

Great sunset villa room. Clean, spacious, great bathroom, inside and outside.
Nice pool, food and service. Knowledgeable guide, just a shame they don’t have as many animals eg. Giraffes and only 2 elephants as bigger safari locations.
An outstanding game reserve with a variety of excellent accommodation. Food excellent new bar outstanding.Pool area luxurious. Game game drives are breathtaking a must for any bucket list
The facilities and game drives here are incredible. We stayed in the luxury family suite with pool room and it was so picturesque with everything that you need.
The game drives are great and the drivers are extremely knowledgeable.
The food choices at breakfast and dinner are also great, with a wide variety of options and the evening menus change daily.
I honestly could not recommend this stay enough.
Spacious clean room.
Well stocked minibar, although there were no soft drinks in the fridge other than water.
Game drives are good. Be aware when compared to the reserves further East such as Amakali, there are far fewer animals and the grounds are smaller and less rugged terrain. The accommodation is on the edge of the enclosure so safe from wild animals.
We were passing through Albertinia and decided to spend the night at this lodge and it was such an unexpected pleasure. Dinner was tasty, cozy room and a really fun game drive in the morning. It’s a different concept from safari in a big NP, once you understand that you’re in for a great ride.
Great facility. Looks exactly like the photos. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. The 2 safaris that we went on were exceptionally good. The jeep driver/guide was knowledgeable & explained everything that he was asked & more. Couldn’t fault him. Would definitely recommend
Secure in-compound parking with electronic gates/openers provided, for a small (reasonable) fee for peace of mind. We loved the apartment unit we had on the front half of the property (called Brighton Beach building). Very easy to walk across the street and be at the tidal pool. We went for a swim every morning and loved having dinner at the various restaurants along the beach, which were delicious and also reasonably priced. Highlights of day were beautiful glass showers with excellent water pressure and plenty of hot water particularly after swimming in the cold water at beach.
If you want luxury combined with the beauty of Africa, a safari with knowledgeable guides, 5 star food and beautiful, clean and tastefully decorated rooms with breathtaking views, THIS is the place to go. Have I mentioned the awesome staff!?! We saw all the animals on an organic safari surrounded by beautiful nature.
Our stay at the Garden Route Game Lodge was unforgettable, thanks to our exceptional guide, Timothy. He took us to some of the most unique parts of the reserve, allowing us to witness wildlife up close in their natural habitats.
Timothy’s passion and knowledge stood out—whether tracking cheetahs, explaining the behavior of smaller animals, or sharing insights about native plants, he made every moment fascinating.
The lodge itself was also fantastic.
