Looking for a lodge?

    Beautiful lodge in a perfect setting with amazing facilities including terrace, private garden, brai, hot tub and jetty on the river with our own kayak. There is also a nice communal pool in the grounds. The safari they run is excellent

    Sophia and her husband have an amazing place. They were so accommodating and helpful. The cottage was perfect, the bed was comfortable, and the kitchenette had everything we needed. We loved the view, sitting on the terrace, and best steak ever on the outdoor barbecue. We took the Ndlovu game drive to Addo and Schotia. Our guide Francois was very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the day. The drive to the lodge is not paved, but was easily manageable with a small car

    Sophia and Luc were incredible hosts. They’ve done a fantastic job with the family lodge we stayed at. Simple, modern decor with a gorgeous garden and easy access to the river. Couldn’t recommend more.

    Sophia is a great host. The breakfast and the safari tour was great. You should definitely add this when you visit Sophia. It is such a peaceful place at the Addo river.

    Such a tranquil and beautiful place. The welcome is fantastic and the meals delicious, plentiful and convenient. The quality of linen and towels is excellent. Being able to take a safari with Francois from the property to Addo and a private game reserve was very convenient and was the icing on the cake!

    The River Lodge was peaceful, quiet, beautiful, and a wonderful place to spend a couple of days. I am very sad I wasn’t able to spend more time here. I highly recommend staying here if you have the chance!

    A Hidden jewel in the Winterhoek mountains. An exciting 4x4 ride with spectacular scenery to get to the lodge. Everything needed was available. Beautiful views from the deck. Cozy bar area where kids played board games and we had a braai. Cozy atmosphere all around. Enjoyed the 4x4 route around the mountain. Will definitely go again!

    Thank you to the very friendly hosts Sophia & Luc. Feels like you staying in paradise with all the birdlife and cute ,harmless little monkeys jumping from tree to tree with a view of the river in front of you. Our stay was exceptional. You can order a lovely breakfast from Sophia with freshly baked warm out of the oven best tasting quiches and muffins , filter coffee and freshly squeesed orange juice. She also has frozen dishes available which can be heated up in the airfryer. Will recommend Ndlovu River Lodge whole heartedly.

    Sophia is a great host!! She really cares about her guests and helps wherever she can. The pool is really nice and warm and the opportunity to use a kayak from the lodge for free is a great add on! The breakfast was nice and the room had very nice furniture.
