Located 200 metres from Owl House Museum, Furrows Lodge offers an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi.

All units come with a patio with garden views, a kitchenette with a fridge and a microwave, and a private bathroom with shower. A toaster and kettle are also provided. We stayed at the Die Waenhuis cottage in the middle of the village. Inside is original, artistic and extremely well appointed. Lovely, lush veranda and garden. We could use the splash pool at the Furrows. Althea and Aubrie were great hosts. We will definitely come again.

Offering mountain views, Harmony Luxury Tents & Safari in Addo offers accommodation, a garden, a terrace and a bar. Both WiFi and private parking are accessible at the lodge free of charge.

Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium is 45 km from Harmony Luxury Tents & Safari, while Port Elizabeth Golf Club is 48 km away. Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport is 55 km from the property, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. Harmony seriously has the wow factor. The tents are so luxurious and the views from each one are very special. Opening all the windows created an amazing view that was so relaxing and brings nature into the tent. (Windows are mosquito safe so no problems there). The best experience ever. Mike and Mariejke are one of the best hosts I have experienced. True down to earth hospitality. We certainly made new friends with them. Booking the evening meal is a must! Mariejke is an amazing cook and Mike a Braai master! The food was just delicious. Such great value for money and the atmosphere in the evening was super. The friendliest people and they gave great tips for travellers. They recommended the Walking Giraffe safari on the neighbouring property and was an experience you won't forget. All in all this was wonderful and will be going back anytime I am in the Eastern Cape. You cannot go wrong staying there. Perfect location for Addo Elephant Park which was not far away. We stayed 3 nights but would have stayed longer if we had known how incredible it was. We made some lovey memories there.

Providing river views, African Safari Lodge in Grahamstown provides accommodation, a garden, a shared lounge, a terrace and barbecue facilities. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge. The last 3,5km from the entrance gate to the lodge are pretty adventurous, but once you are there, you will enjoy stunning views of the dam and green hills. We enjoyed the tranquility - a perfect place, if you just want to relax. You can order food, which they bring to your place. But we decided for self catering, as the kitchen is fully equipped (from stove to microwave and fridge). WiFi was good and we loved the terrace for the views! Driving to the gate in the mornings we saw some antilopes, many warthogs and a herd of buffalos.
