12 guests' feedbackVery nice owners and staff. Very friendly. Very well treated, also lots of things to do and see. I didn't ask for the WiFi, wasn't needed.
Friendly people, loved the quirkiness of the place, one little hiccup was that we kept on smelling cigarette smoke coming in from the windows, both sides (from the guest courtyard and on the other side which I assume was where the staff walk through). We stayed in the Big 5 room, super spacious. There could be improvement by adding a chair to the beautiful office desk, I had to sit on the bed and work from there. Also no power point next to the bed on either side.
Very enjoyable. Friendly.
The rooms and bathrooms were neat and clean and the whole place has a pleasant atmosphere.
Great place to stay. Close to the Addo Elephant Reserve and the dunes. Great views.
The place has a beautiful view of the river and the staff is very friendly. Just note that the bathroom doesn't have a door and since I was sharing with my nephew it was a bit difficult.
Everything in the River Cottage is 100% tidy (serviced daily with clean towels), the river view is beautiful and it's safe. The breakfast is amazing, full English breakfast with, among other things, fresh orange juice, home-baked fat cake, toast cake, many more. Etta, Derrick and their experienced staff make you feel very welcome and are happy to help with inquiries and excursions - thank you very much! Dungbeetle is highly recommended - we will definitely be going again!
Friendly reception. Good service. Nice breakfast.
Nice peaceful getaway with friendly service and people who are always willing to go the extra mile. Will definitely go back again.
Really enjoyed our stay at Dungbeetle. Lovely decor. Our towels were changed every day! The breakfasts with the freshly baked bread were devine. The garden is so prestine and relaxing. Will go back there any time and can recommend Dungbeetle strongly.
The reception and professionalism is top notch and that breakfast, I will definitely go back again.
I had a very pleasant stay and awesome breakfast. Will surely book there again if I have the opportunity.
