We had five days here is a Bush villa and can honestly say it’s one of the best stays we’ve ever had. The villa is on a watering hole and we saw so many animals everyday from our deck. The villa itself was gorgeous and very reasonable for six people. There are several restaurants to choose from and the food was excellent. You can even pay for a lift to and from the restaurant through the game reserve, giving you a mini game drive in the process! The reserve is huge and has four of the big five, not more then five minutes goes by before you spot another animal! All the staff were friendly and couldn’t do enough for you, especially our guide Anthony. Highly recommend the horseback safari. Allows you to get up close to the animals, even rhinos! The spa is also fantastic and very competitively priced. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a taste of the true Africa.

We had an amazing time together in the Presidential Suite. And they made it so special for our honeymoon with rose petals and candles as we came in and some more surprises! We had the royal time of our life. In the morning we had breakfast on the patio overlooking the ocean. The beach sand starts at the grass of the premise with a little wooden walkway. Gorgeous. Our goto overnight in Mossel Bay area from now on.

Thatched roof chalets elegantly decorated with wrought iron furniture. Chalets have linen and towels. Self-catering fully equipped kitchen with braai facilities. Chalets do not have televisions, but cell phone reception available.

Highly Recommended. An amazing experience!

Reviewed By Deedle5819

Having seen and experienced a lot of reserves in my life Indalu exceeded all of our expectations. Arina was the most divine host. The chalets were comfortable and inviting. We loved the outside lapa and the fact that we were in the middle of the bush in our own little haven with not a person to be seen. The Elephant walk was out of this world and something truly special. A memory that will never be forgotten. I cannot recommend Indalu enough. Thank you Arina. We will most definitely be back.

The Village Lodge

"Have to Experience"

Reviewed By Brits02

My family and i decided on Botlierskop The Village for a kids weekend away. The kids chose this place it was such a good choice we have been to plenty of places for kids and this one just topped them all. The staff of this place makes it all worthwhile my kids absolutely loved them as they spent so much time with them even if it was at Breakfast or lunch even going so far as to swing them outside while we having dinner. They have a mini rangers program where my little one went on a 3 Hour safari with the guide where he showed him plants and bugs and lots of wildlife he came back with the biggest smile on his face. The game drives are fabulous with 4 of the big five spotted within a matter of an hour. We stayed in a family unit its well appointed and has everything a person would need and nice and close to the restaurant. There are plenty of playgrounds everywhere for the kids so to keep them busy is no problem at all. The food at Breakfast and lunch is great quality and very tasty with a good choice of dishes there could be a bit more variety to choose from if i must be honest. Next time i will bring even more family with to enjoy this place.

Wonderful stay at Mossel Bay Golf Lodge

We spent a long weekend at the lodge which was perfectly located on the golf estate as we had 2 games planned. The accomodation was perfect - absolutely neat and tidy, beautifully decorated and well serviced. The host, Lawrence took great care in ensuring the scrumptious breakfasts were prepared on time and that we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend this lodge and would definitely stay there again when I am in Mossel Bay.

Bergsig Private Game Reserve Accommodation

Beautiful luxury lodge

Reviewed By jzeeuw330314

The lodge is situated in a private game reserve, with very kind owners that love and respect the animals. From our lodge, we could see the giraffes at a couple of meters away, it was incredible. The lodge itself is surprisingly luxurious, given that it’s in the middle of nature. There is a jacuzzi, perfect airco, and even fast and stable wifi. Our host took us on a game drive to see rhinos, hippos, and lions, and we even booked a helicopter tour with them to fly over the reserve and the sea, where we saw great white sharks. In summary, great place, could definitely have stayed longer, would definitely go back.
