We stayed in the cottage, which is a bit further down the road of the main lodge. It was situated right at the river bank with amazing views. The cottage was very spacious and clean, with 3 bedrooms. Kids were able to play a bit on the jetty's. Also the home-made bread for breakfast was amazing. It is right at the south gate of Addo park and the small private Game Reserve next to it.

Such friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. A garden that was full of beauty and interest. Steps down to the river, for swimming or kayaking. Lovely breakfast, with great home-made food. Ella, Derek, Leona and team will stay in our memories.

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.

Really nice location, eclectic rooms, great base for nice excursions on the river and only 15mins to addo park. Stuffed honesty fridges. Very friendly staff ( - to the younger folks who are up for an adventure - they are looking for people to run the place in the near future)

- Wonderful breakfast with homemade products on the terrace with view on the dunes and the river - Nice rooms with comfortable beds and large shower - decoration is based on the room name, i.e. in the lion suite there are pictures and figures of lions - we like that - Only few minutes drive to Addo Elephant park - Landlord offers safari tours to Addo Elephant park - so you can sleep there, have breakfast and start the safari straight from the location - Landlord gives very helpful tips about Addo Elephant park (if you decide to self-drive but I prefer to do a guided tour) and the area around Colchester
