    We stayed at Dungbeetle River Lodge for 2 nights while visiting Addo. We arrived in the late afternoon and then took a full day game drive from the lodge. It was a bit much for us and would do a morning game drive next time. The experience was awesome, it was just too long for our pensioner bodies! Staying 2 nights was perfect because the evening gave us a nice recovery period before we hit the road for our return to Cape Town. Dungbeetle River Lodge was a perfect location from which to travel into Addo. It's literally 3 minutes from the south gate of the park.

    Not a quaint little tourist town, and somewhat disappointed with our stay (for choice of shops, restaurants and ease of access to the river, lack of info for St Croix marine reserve). The Sand dunes are spectacular, but also not easy to access as on private property. The day visit permit is affordable (via Pearson resort) yet this information is not easily available to visitors. Close proximity to Addo South Gate which is great. Some marketing PR would go a long way!

    It is a dusty , dirty place a favorite stop-over for long distance lorry drivers and all that they bring with them. The only :restaurants" which are really only fast food eatery's and not very good a that. the only thing Colchester has got going for it is that is very convenient for the Addo Elephant park, other than that it is not worth a visit.

    As a teenager I basically grew up in Colchester, not the asea as such, but we did a lot of camping over the years with friends and family. The views are just spectacular and if you love fishing it gets even better as it is a fisherman`s paradise.

    The proximity to Addo National Park, River Cruises on the Sundays River was excellent. The Taste of Africa Restaurant was a delight with friendly staff and delicious cuisine. Shopping facilities were pleasant.

    The house is in a very secure and quiet area. You feel really safe. We stayed at the 3 bedroom apartment. It was very clean and spacious. The apartment looks much better than in the pictures. The kitchen is very comfortable and has all appliances. We were able to watch movies on Netflix. The staff and owner were very kind and helpful (they even did our laundry although it is not supposed to be included). The house is located 5 minutes drive from the Addo south gate. Best location!! We highly recommend this house. Thank you for hosting us!

    I absolutely loved the accommodation. The pictures provided do not do this house any justice you have to see it for yourself. The house has soooo much space and is perfect for a little breakaway. A weekend alone was not enough to enjoy this house. I will definitely be back again to enjoy the rest of this house. The staff at the Taste of Africa are amazing, friendly and helpful. I had 10000 questions yet they were extremely patient and tried to accommodate me as much as they could. A big thank you to all staff involved.

    The beds were comfortable, the Braai area was well equipped and we had enough essentials. The room were spacious, the property is off the grid so it was a bonus that we did not experience loadshedding. The guest house was very clean, the entertainment rooms were spacious and very family orientated. The parking was secure and the area was very safe, thanks to the two ladies who spoke to us the day before we left, you made us feel very welcome. The private jetty was accessible via the side gate and the views were lovely.

    Leanne the property manager was outstanding from arrival to departure, she couldn't be any more helpful and informative, we pre booked several activities with the Sundune before our arrival and had some amazing experiences, the one big benefit of booking via the guest house is you are guaranteed an open sided safari vehicle. The rooms were very comfortable and a delightful breakfast. We chose the penthouse suite which had a wonderful private terrace overlooking the garden and Sundays River.

    Remarkable value for money. The apartment was large and very well equipped for a self catering stay. Just a very short walk to the Sundays river where there are lovely views of the river and super bird watching (also from the old road bridge nearby). The community of houses here are directly opposite the South gate entrance to Addo Elephant park, and it is an easy drive down to the Sundays river mouth at the sea. The dune field here is truly breathtaking.

    Everything was perfect. The host was charming and explained everything when we arrived. The location was excellent being only minutes away from the gates of Addo National Elephant Park. The house was clean, very well equipped and furnished. Outside we could sit and watch the river. We even made use of canoes that were provided. So pleased that we booked at 10 on Aquavista Addo River View Villa.

    The experience of staying on a boat was exceptional on Maggie May! It has everything and more that you wouldn't expect when staying on a house boat! The view is amazing 24/7, the kitchen has everything you need, there are plugs everywhere, the staff is always available to help out and yet you have the feeling of total privacy too! Absolutely amazing and we will be back!

    Definitely the best place to stay when you want to visit Addo Elephant Park! Our house Wayne was simply amazing, he took a lot of time giving us tips for the park. Beautifully decorated room with lots of amenities. Make sure to arrive early to enjoy the wonderful sunset over the river!
