I stayed here with a friend for four nights in late February 2012. This is a quiet, friendly, well managed lodge about 15 minutes northeast of the little town of Hluhluwe off of Route 22. The main public rooms are very attractive and were open to the warm South African summer. There is a lovely view down to False Bay... More

Planters is away from the main lodge and offers clean, basic, AIRCONDITIONED accomodation - 3 ensuite bedrooms, a kitchen/living room and a boma. An old reservoir has been turned into a wonderful pool and deck area. Antelope wander into the camp and drink from a nearby waterhole. Great walks and cycling paths in the sand forest which surround this peaceful... More

I stayed here for three nights with my two teenage sons. In short we had a really nice time. The place was fairly quiet and we were well attended to without being pestered. Every member of staff was very friendly and made for a relaxed unstuffy atmosphere. The accommodation was spacious and not -over-the-top luxurious. Just comfy and quiet and... More

I stayed for 7 nights in early May and had a lovely time. The A-frame lodge was sparsely but tastefully decorated, and quite spacey. The lodges are situated among trees, so the view from your patio is limited. But there are lovely views across False Bay Park from the restaurant and lounge area. The food was excellent and creative, especially... More

This place was ok, I guess it depends whether you know Africa as this is certainly a tourist trap. We had just come from a place called Gwahumbe so when we arrived here it was a bit of a come down. We were on honeymoon with several of my guests and family members. The rooms were big but we had... More

We had a wonderfull time at the River Lodge. We visited SA in October and it wasn't busy yet. We we're the first guests to arrive that day and we were put in the honeymoon suite which was beautiful! The food was excellent and the staff very nice. We especially liked the fact that all staff members were treated equally... More

This is the first time I've written a review on one of these sites, but I was compelled to tell others about how great my experience was here. We were referred to HRL by a South African friend, who said the lodge was an economical yet wonderful way to visit a game reserve while in South Africa. We'd had little... More
