We had a fantastic stay! Dungbettle Lodge went above and beyond to make our trip so memorable and exciting! We used kayaks to go across the river to the sand dunes, we were advised on a safari trip to take, and enjoyed a cooked breakfast every morning. The hosts went above and beyond to make our trip easy, fun, and comfortable. The owners and staff are absolutely outstanding hosts and can not recommend this accommodation enough. Thank you so much!

The owners and staff at Dungbeetle went out of their way to ensure we had a memorable stay. One of the owners actually drove us to see the nearby river and beach on a rainy day when we didn’t have plans. Breakfasts were amazing, so delicious. Thanks Leona. The location to Addo couldn’t be better. We booked two guided tours with Mike who was friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot and had fun seeing so many elephants, zebra, etc. We highly recommend the lovely, well-decorated and qcosy guesthouse and would certainly stay there if we return to the area.

The location and specially the view to the ocean is wonderful. We could keep watching how the waves came against the rocks. The whole area is beautiful and we walked to the Cathedral Rock via the beach. Enrique (restaurant is very close).

I booked the family suite for my sister's 50th birthday and organised everything as a surprise. The staff at Dungbeetle were so helpful, friendly and kind in helping make sure the 2 days were perfect. I booked her onto a river exploration which she said was utterly beautiful and very fascinating. Thank you to everyone there for helping out and making it a trip to remember.

Big, clean room with a lovely view of the river. Delicious breakfasts with a good variety of things to eat. I absolutely loved the fresh, homemade bread each morning. The drive-through Addo was outstanding.

Etta and the Dungbeetle team were extremely friendly and the quality of food and service provided were both first class. The location is very good and close to both Port Elizabeth and the Addo Elephant National Park.
