An unplanned and stressful circumstance took place during our trip where my husband and I ended up having to look for alternative accommodations. We wanted to be close to ADDO National Elephant Park. I found Hitgeheim Country Lodge on the internet and once I saw their photo gallery, I knew this is where we needed to be. I called right... More

Perfect rooms, perfect place to have sundowners. Food is great but ambience could do better! Safari's wel organised. But if you have time in your shedule then go to the krugerpark! I loved it but it felt like going on a safari in a zoo without being negative! More

We cannot rate Hitgeheim highly enough. The atmosphere and standard of unobtrusive service is second to none. Archie and his team do everything to make your stay a memorable one. We only had two nights and wished it was longer. Would recommend this beautiful lodge to anyone. More

We had a truly excellent stay - I cannot rave enough about this place! From the moment we drove to the reception and were driving past an ostrich and zebra we knew it would be special. We had an extremely warm welcome from Archie and excellent service from Donald. Honestly there is not a thing we would change - wine... More

An amazing location and excellent staff. Our cottage nr. 3 looked out over the valley, stunning views. Huge space, 2 balconies, huge bathroom, all very nice. But the carpets looked a little worn and the chairs were a little old. So 4 stars would be more appropriate. Also the presence of a huge spider against the wall when returning after... More

After some eight years of visits to Hitgeheim Country Lodge, we once again had a delightful overnight last week. Even though the weather was rainy - which adds a pleasant dimension to the valley - we had a grand time visiting and enjoying the accommodations. Food was wonderful and the hospitality excellent, as usual. We look forward to another visit... More

We are a family of 5, two parents with a 24, 22 and 13 year old. Hitgeheim was a little piece of heaven for 3 nights over Christmas 2011. On booking we were promised a Christmas to remember and we were not disappointed. The ambience, style and quality of this accommodation was stunning and left us feeling jealous of the... More

My husband and I stayed at Hitgeheim Country Lodge for 2 nights in mid-September 2011 on our honeymoon. It was amazing - very private and luxurious. (Need to shower? You have the option of using either the indoor private shower, or the outdoor one... or the bathtub!) I could have spent an entire week just living in the cottage. The... More

We stayed with our 2-year old son at Hitgeheim and can recommend this lodge to anyone (including kids). The rooms are luxiorious and spacious with great views over the valley. Service is superb and friendly. The family run business is flexible in arranging trips and transport to and from airport, Scotia or Addo elephant park. The ever friendly owner Archie... More
