Amazing family holiday. Archie and his staff are amazing and we will definitely be back. Beautiful view from lodge overlooking valley. Rooms are spacious, beautiful outdoor/indoor shower. Attention to detail noted.

Stunningly beautiful location. We travelled from Cape Town so was a bit of a trek to get there but really worth it. Amazing views of the coast, mountains and sunsets all the way. Staff were so pleasant and helpful. Kids were served drinks at the pool much to their delight. Accommodation was luxurious. Four poster bed and huge sunken bath.... More

We really enjoyed our stay at Hitgeheim. We were disappointed to find that the sable and buffalo breeding area had been sold. The staff were attentive and friendly. Unfortunately it rained all day Sat and we may have wanted to use the communal tv room, but being allergic to dogs it was not possible. Having spent most of Sat in... More

If you like to be totally spoiled in a most scenic location this is the place to go to. In every possible way you get VIP treatment with personal attention from the owner.

We travel a lot and rarely mark anywhere 5/5 - Hitgeheim is the exception. Location, the greeting, the service, the rooms, the food, the log fire, all just perfect. Recommend the Addo and Scotia tours

It was the first time in the Addo Park and Archie and his team made the whole stay unforgettable. They organized safaris, fixed our broken car and took care of us the best way possible. The Hitgeheim Country Lodge is a wonderful place to explore the Elephant Park and some other Private Game Reserves as well. We also had delicious... More

I was impressed by the friendliness and relaxed atmosphere when I arrived at the lodge. Service was good and the food impressive, will have to go back there for a longer stay. Perfect place to stay if you would like to visit the ADDO Elephant park for day visits or just to relax and get away from city life.

Beautiful location, stunning views, luxurious rooms, great food, attentive service, quality game guides - all presided over by the larger-than-life owner, Archie. Quite wonderful - if only we had been able to stay longer.....
