60 guests' feedbackBreakfast expensive. No choices in what we want to eat. Room clean and tidy.
We were very friendly welcomed by Maggie. She gave us good advice. The place is well equipped with everything you need for self-catering and even much more. The walk along the river was nice.
Safe, clean, comfortable. Feels like a home from home!
Friendly reception by Maggie. Accommodation good with great breakfast.
A lovely friend. lt's welcome and the beautiful Sundays river. This is a recipe for a relaxed day.
We had an absolutely wonderful long weekend. We will definitely visit you again. Lovely place and just perfect. Breakfast was just as delicious. Thank you for the kindness.
We were welcomed very kindly, the room very comfortable, everything you need and more. Maggie is a fantastic hostess, she had shoulder surgery but did everything with one arm, thank you Maggie for a great weekend at your place, you will definitely see us again.
We stayed 3 nights in the guesthouse. The guesthouse is only 5 km away from the south entrance of Addo. The guesthouse is also the local tourist information bureau, which was very helpful for the planning of all our activities. Summary: good rooms, good breakfast, very friendly.
Maggie was a wonderful hostess and warmly welcoming. Addo Gateway Lodge was clean and easily accessible from the N2. Beds were comfy and the water hot. Thank you!
Our stay was comfortable. The units are clean and tidy. It's not super luxurious, but everything you need is there, even covered parking. Excellent hostess and host. It is walking distance from the river with a beautiful view.
The place was really good and the owners simply charming. We would have stayed there more days if we'd known in advance.
We chose a self-catering unit since we thought it would be more spacious, but it was teeny tiny and not comfortable to prepare meals in. It also bothered us that there were signs everywhere about how you should clean up after yourself and too many decoration and knickknacks in the bathroom, like a used bath sponge (as if anyone would use it again!). It took up space that could've been used for our own toiletries and vanity. Too much micro management by the hostess! We were treated with friendliness though and she helped us to change a flat tyre.
The accommodation in its current state is very good for a single person, but not for 2 people. There is a lack of space and packing place and the toilet and basin layout is not suitable for disabled people (like in our case). On the positive side: everything was clean and neat, friendlier and more helpful staff and owners you won't find anywhere. Excellent.
Didn't get what we expected. On the pictures it looked neat, didn't look like this in reality. Needs an urgent upgrade, bathrooms not acceptable at all. Unmatching, worn crockery.
Twelve years of operation is the setting that catches ones first impression of the room, age has set in. The mirror in the bathroom takes up almost half the one wall and is sunken which does very little for the appeal of the bathroom. The room although self-catering is very noisy as the room is adjacent to the offices and separated by only a board/panel and all can be heard during the early morning/day. Close proximity to the Addo park and ideal for activities on the Sundays River. Eating out at the nearby restaurant was very pleasant with a great menu and good memories.
Excellent reception, spacious accommodation and ideally located near southern entrance to Addo Park.
Will highly recommend it to anyone.
We were very comfortable and the hosts were marvellous!
After two days it felt like saying goodbye to family. Will definitely go there again. Thank you Maggie for my turtle.
Pleasant hosts, pleasant stay, safe parking.
Nice and clean stay in a true paradise! Very friendly and helpful host and hostess. Experienced wonderful "sunset cruises". Unfortunately the ceiling fan didn't work...the heat was very bad at night. Thank you Les and Maggie for making it so special for us...we will definitely be back.
Beautiful place, everything you need to overnight. We arrived late and they were friendly and helped us. They also gave us advice about what to do in the area as well as safety tips.
Enjoyable stay. Not far from the main gate and very close to the river for trips. I have stayed at Addo Lodge before and also enjoyed the visit. Only recognised the place when I reached it.
I was a bit disappointed because the place was not what I imagined. The two bedroom chalet I booked was two rooms behind the owner's kitchen which we had to share with another resident. We went with the intention of enjoying the offerings in town such as the boat ride on the river and seeing the dunes, but it was not available that weekend. I feel we could have just been informed about it ahead of time.
Prachtige boottocht gemaakt over de rivier naar mooie duinen waar we konden sandboarden. Prima plek om Addo te bezoeken.
Very warm hostess and special breakfast. Clean and comfortable.
After our previous night's stay, Addo Gateway was a very pleasant surprise. It was truly value for money. Maggie makes a real effort and we can highly recommend her. Will go back there again anytime.
I feel that the place is not up to standard. It didn't feel clean, threads hanging loose, and a.g.v. water restrictions you may not bathe.
Maggie and Les were extremely friendly and went out of their way to make it pleasant for us. The breakfast was very nice and Maggie made extra sausages and eggs for us on delicious croissants. Les has a beautiful bonsai collection and is worth checking out. This is the perfect overnight stay if you want to go to Addo or if you are just on your way to your next destination. Thank you!
We arrived too early, but this was no problem. Maggie even gave us tips to make the best of the afternoon park visit. The venue is right opposite the south entrance. Very convenient. The accommodation has everything we required. Maggie is very outgoing and served a personlized breakfast.
We had a lovely stay there. They had been very helpful.
Mania of welcome makes you feel at home. They immediately share essential information and points of interest about the area. The guided tour in the Addo and the boat cruise on the Sundays River are both a must. A big thank you to Maggie and Les.
Maggie was a fantastic hostess who clearly has a passion for what she has been doing for the past 11 years.
Interesting activities in the area and very close to the Addo National Elephant Park. Cleaning of units could improve.
Addo Gateway Lodge is not our ideal guest house and we probably won't stay there again. We responded to a special offer on LekkeSlaap. Because the place was advertised as a 'lodge' 'which is nestled on the banks of the Sundays River' and has 3-star status, we thought it sounded like a really nice place to relax in nature. Great was our surprise and disappointment when we were put in a small room at the outbuilding of the 'lodge' and there was not a river in sight! I would like to know where one can check the rating system of a guest house.
