Etta was a fabulous host! The food and service was spectacular and delicious! Mike, who led our Safari, was fantastic! He made the experience amazing! We highly recommend this place!

South AfricaBeautiful space. Lovely owners! There is an amazing little colony of bird nests at the entrance - charming. Comfortable bed. Fun decor. So close to Addo - the perfect place to unwind after a long drive thru the Park. We had to get up very early for a flight and they made us a to-go breakfast without us even really asking! Amazing service. Safe neighborhood. We walked to the local pub just down the road for dinner - the food was just ok but the prices were incredible (so cheap!) and the young man who waited on us was a delight.

BrazilThe Dungbettle is so close to Addo park, making it perfect as a base for visiting the area. In addition, the lodge itself is comfortable, stylish and a great place to rest after a long day. The breakfast is generous and delicious and the hosts are so knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I would stay again in a heartbeat.
