Hotels in South Africa

Lions Place is a fabulous lodge. Located in the middle of a private reserve bordering the Kruger National Park, the hotel provides a luxury experience. Besides being very nice, well decorated and comfortable, it offers several alternatives to tour the area with highly trained guides (Congratulations to JB and Ian for their fantastic work as guides!) The room is very spacious, with a very comfortable bed, a large bathroom with a large bathtub, closets, tea and coffee making facilities, cold water and an incredible view of the savannah. Lions Place also has a swimming pool, and two viewpoint that allow you to view the beautiful scenery, plus the garden where if you are lucky you can find wild animals (we saw a porcupine). JB, who is in charge of the place is the best! Very friendly, welcoming and an excellent guide both in the area and during the full day safari we did in Kruger. At Lions Places you can also request, in addition to the value of your stay, a dinner, which is an unforgettable experience. A French and South African fusion dinner with a starter, main course and dessert, which, weather permitting, is served outdoors. In our case we did a full day safari (exceptional!) and a morning bush walk. Both instances were amazing! We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, and many other mammals and birds that made the visit unforgettable. A special note to the ladies who run the place, they are very kind and excellent cooks! Totally recommended and we would stay there again.

Amazing and unique place ! Flawless service, staff kindness, special attention for our honeymoon. We ll remember our stay and will come back for sure

everything was perfect, the apartment and the staff.

Excellent staff and beautiful property. The food in both restaurants was outstanding.

Gorgeous setting, with beautiful view! We loved the fireplace in the bedroom and the all-open space of the room. The proximity of the beach is a blast!

Peaceful and luxurious. If you want to stay far away from the tourism of Stellenbosch and Franz. It's the right place. Very nice

Delicious and very plentiful breakfasts. Lots of hot and cold choices, including daily local specialties. So many that over our 3 day stay we couldn't sample them all! We loved the carefully curated decor, and the welcoming, friendly, helpful staff. Located in a quiet neighbourhood, just a few minutes walk to great restaurants and shops. Felt like a luxurious home away from home.

Great Lodge. Fantastic service, amazing safari experience with great ranger. life-time experience.

Beautiful place, perfect accomodation, very kind staff, fine restaurant

The beautiful view from our family room, the wonderful breakfast, the friendliness of the staff, the garden, the location away from touristy waterfront.

There aren't enough words to describe what a little slice of heaven the Last Word is. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, clean, and welcoming. Conrad and his team were so welcoming and attentive to all our needs. They were helpful and informative, giving you advice on things to do but also space to explore. The attention to detail is unmatched. Small gestures such as a thoughtful dessert on your bed at the end of the day, were just some of the ways they made our stay special. The facilities are luxurious, the location is perfect for exploring Franschhoek on foot. The only negative feeling we had during our entire stay was having to leave. Would recommend 100 times over. Thank you!

Agulas Ocean House truly exceeded our expectations - the property is beautiful, breakfast was delicious, the hosts were lovely and gave us so many great recommendations. We stayed in the Violet whale room and enjoyed great view of the ocean.
