Hotels in South Africa

Lions Place is in the middle of a game preserve, so it is remote, but that is essential to its charm. You are in the middle of the habitat of African wildlife. Nevertheless, JB has managed to create a really high-end lodge. The building is lovely, the rooms are very comfortable, and the meals are exceptional. We went on four safaris and they were magical.

It's exceptional , stunning and amazing

Everything was easy from arrival through checkout. Esme was very responsive. But THE most important thing was the beauty of the place - inside and the views! Great location just 5 minutes from main street in Franschhoek.

Suite was amazing. Location is great , by the lake

The hotel is charming. Everything done in perfection, to make the guests feel good. It located in an amazing and beautiful farm close to Cape Town, with a golf club, a winey and two restaurants on site. The restaurants are both great, and their wine too.

As far from a cookie cutter hotel experience you can get…comfortable, charming, luxurious oasis

This place is amazing, location, views and unreal rooms. From check-in to check out everything was exceptional a warm welcome. Staff made our celebration simply unforgettable. The boutique hotel is a real treat, extremely manicured, professional and clean. A wonderful service experience.

The most spectacular experience ever. Every single thing was absolutely perfect - from our check-in to check-out. We arrived at almost midnight but the manager was still waiting for us. Being so late, I just could not figure out the coffee machine in my room, so I called the front office, and believe it or not, the manager actually brought up a kettle to my room so I could make a cup of coffee which I so badly needed after driving for 12 hours. The beds and the room layout are truly out of this world. I had such a great sleep and felt so rested when I woke. Breakfast was on another level! They have all the most amazing things that you can choose yourself at the buffet, but they also have a menu from which I ordered French Toast (egg bread) which had bacon and a fried banana - gosh it was the most divine thing I've eaten in a long while. The beauty, cleanliness, and tranquility of Adara are truly 10 stars. It really is mind-blowing to think about the amount of thought and planning that goes into making everything here so perfect. Each and every staff member that I interacted with added to the beauty and splendor of this place because they're all so friendly and warm and accommodating. Truly an exceptional experience.

Our stay at Ivory Wilderness River Rock Lodge was the highlight of the holiday. Danell and Wienand were wonderful guides and hosts and made us feel very welcome at this beautiful Lodge. Andrew and Siphiwe looked after us at the Lodge and we enjoyed every meal. The team at Ivory Wilderness work well together and make sure that you are well looked after.

Our stay at the Motswari Retreat was amazing! The rooms were beautiful, so thoughtful decorated and well equipped, the meals were delicious, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and memorable as possible. Desmond, the manager, is extremely friendly and was always going above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. Marius, our guide, and Erick, our tracker, were excellent as well and we appreciated how passionate and experienced they were. Our chef, Eva, and her team were fantastic and every meal was outstanding, especially the outdoor bonfire/grill night. We cannot say enough great things about the Motswari retreat!!

An amazing experience! The hosts were absolutely wonderful - so kind, welcoming, and attentive. The food was incredibly tasty and fresh. Highly recommended!

Great location. Great ambience. Friendly attentive staff.
