Featuring a swimming pool, a garden, a terrace and views of the river, Ndlovu Addo River Lodge is set in Kirkwood and offers accommodation with free WiFi.

A barbecue is available on site and both fishing and canoeing can be enjoyed within close proximity of the lodge. We had a wonderful stay at the River Cottage. The attention to detail throughout the property was impressive and made a noticeable difference in our experience. From the cozy atmosphere to the thoughtful touches, everything was designed with comfort and warmth in mind. The cottage was incredibly inviting and well-equipped, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. A special thanks to Sophia who is a fantastic host who truly goes the extra mile to ensure her guests feel welcomed and well-cared for. We truly enjoyed our time there and are already looking forward to returning.

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. Althea was an incredible host.

The pool was bliss and the trees made for welcome shade in the scorching Karoo sun. The accommodation wa on a different level. Perfection personified. Thank you.

Apart from all of that Mike is a very nice host and we had some good talks, he made us lovely dinner and breakfast and helped us if needed and provided recommendations and directions.

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!
