We loved the apartment unit we had on the front half of the property (called Brighton Beach building). Very easy to walk across the street and be at the tidal pool. We went for a swim every morning and loved having dinner at the various restaurants along the beach, which were delicious and also reasonably priced. Highlights of day were beautiful glass showers with excellent water pressure and plenty of hot water particularly after swimming in the cold water at beach. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/47fd1e48-aceb-4e22-a44c-2b70b22246cc-1764705176383.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### JamieLee Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angele 3 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful experience at this gaming lodge, stay included 2 safaries a day. ##### Angele Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sam 25 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastic experience from start to finish - everything was fabulous, including the staff. ##### Sam Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### stuart 6 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities An outstanding game reserve with a variety of excellent accommodation.

It’s a different concept from safari in a big NP, once you understand that you’re in for a great ride. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### svetlana 16 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our stay at the Garden Route Game Lodge was unforgettable, thanks to our exceptional guide, Timothy. He took us to some of the most unique parts of the reserve, allowing us to witness wildlife up close in their natural habitats. Timothy’s passion and knowledge stood out—whether tracking cheetahs, explaining the behavior of smaller animals, or sharing insights about native plants, he made every moment fascinating. The lodge itself was also fantastic. ##### svetlana Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marzanne 7 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### If you're looking for a TRUE safari... If you want luxury combined with the beauty of Africa, a safari with knowledgeable guides, 5 star food and beautiful, clean and tastefully decorated rooms with breathtaking views, THIS is the place to go. Have I mentioned the awesome staff!?! We saw all the animals on an organic safari surrounded by beautiful nature. ##### Marzanne Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ernst 23 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very kindlich personal ##### Ernst Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tyrone 10 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely. Room and main lodge were lovely. Game viewing was slightly disappointing. Reserve is effectively broken into fenced sections with the lions in their own enclosure. Guide appeared a bit rushed at times. ##### Tyrone Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin 7 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was a great family vacation. I would recommend it if your little ones are at least 4 years old (or older) and can be occupied without screens on the drives. The drives range from 1.5-3ish hours. We did 2 nights, which meant 4 drives -- and that was the perfect amount of time for us. Easy drive over from Cape Town. Sune, our driver, was great! Our young kiddo was the only kid in our group, and she did a great job of interacting with him and teaching him (and us!) lots of facts about the animals ##### Erin Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Edward 9 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Non-South Africans should realize that facilities like this are a far cry from a “proper” game lodge experience. The developers of the facility have done a good job in cobbling together land and stocking it with wildlife, but it really is more of a glorified zoo than a proper game reserve. The facilities are nice and the staff are lovely, so it's certainly worth a visit. But I wouldn't recommend staying more than a day. ##### Edward Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Varaidzo 5 Jan 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 2 day family stay We stayed for two nights in a lodge room. Was a bit cramped for 2 adults and 2 kids but loved the bathroom and the sitting area outside. The room is equipped with a bar fridge and a microwave which came in quite handy. The lodge has a jacuzzi and the kids pool is heated so my son managed to swim despite the cool weather when we were there. Loved the game drives though I felt 2 days was more than enough to explore the place. The food was ala carte due to covid but was plentiful and really good. Our ranger Tracy was very good. All in all we really enjoyed our stay. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/590E45B59093B3390023150FC701F8256846C7261609846351373.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A5F2E581930A1182A60E3C45D82F86D0C2469C0C1609846351357.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/902FFA6E35B2013DDAFD514B0D976427BC957E141609846351785.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/03551FF99FC2843F25C5E06B1640C10C36C39DF71609846352650.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Varaidzo Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yee Hur William 23 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We rented two of chalets for two nights, and was assigned one small (meant for up to 2 adults) and one slightly bigger chalet (for 2 adults and 1 child). Strongly recommended if you are travelling light (minimal space for full size luggage for tjr small chalet) as you will need to navigate short flights of stairs. The package also comes with two daily safari runs and dinner included. Food and services was great. Cape and warm water bags were also provided for the (cold) Sunrise Game Runs. Strongly recommended! ##### Yee Hur William Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracie 14 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Garden Route Game Lodge offers an excellent, affordable, comfortable and relaxing stay with 2 daily games drives through their expansive game reserve where you get an up close and personal viewing of the various game animals. Your knowledgeable driver will tailor your drives to your preferences where possible. The entire staff are friendly and go above the usual standard of service to ensure you have a great stay. Tip - book Spa services early if you want to partake. Food & beverage is excellent. I recommend a minimum 2 nights, but preferably 3 nights to fully enjoy the facilities and 6 drives and appreciate the amazing animals more than once. ##### Tracie Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clara 1 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Super service, c’était génial. ##### Clara Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Touws-River-Hotels-Aquila-Private-Game-Reserve-Spa.h6347327.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Bush-Lodge.h526966.Hotel-Information) > > [Paternoster Dunes Boutique Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paternoster-Hotels-Paternoster-Dunes-Boutique-Guesthouse.h31911613.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kingdom Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moses-Kotane-Hotels-The-Kingdom-Resort.h6792618.Hotel-Information) > > [Glen Afric Country Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broederstroom-Hotels-Glen-Afric-Country-Lodge.h27136993.Hotel-Information) > > [Gondwana Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mossel-Bay-Hotels-Gondwana-Game-Reserve.h4145102.Hotel-Information) > > [Woodbury Tented Camp - Amakhala Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sidbury-Hotels-Woodbury-Tented-Camp-Amakhala-Game-Reserve.h9642577.Hotel-Information) > > [Botlierskop Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Klein-Brak-River-Hotels-Botlierskop-Private-Game-Reserve.h2991039.Hotel-Information) > > [Mabula Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bela-Bela-Hotels-Mabula-Game-Lodge.h1559026.Hotel-Information) > > [Tsala Treetop Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plettenberg-Bay-Hotels-Tsala-Treetop-Lodge.h1030430.Hotel-Information) > > [Lush Private Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Lush-Private-Lodge.h24940930.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwa Maritane Self-Catering Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Self-Catering-Chalets.h22471915.Hotel-Information) > > [Inverdoorn Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Breede-River-Hotels-Inverdoorn-Private-Game-Reserve.h3131643.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Polokwane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Polokwane-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Polokwane.h17771611.Hotel-Information) > > [Hartford House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mooirivier-Hotels-Hartford-House.h27344764.Hotel-Information) > > [Ivory Tree Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Ivory-Tree-Game-Lodge.h5994597.Hotel-Information) > > [Kariega Game Reserve - Main Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenton-On-Sea-Hotels-Kariega-Game-Reserve-Main-Lodge.h4576469.Hotel-Information) > > [Margate Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margate-Hotels-Margate-Beach-Club.h9458217.Hotel-Information) > > [Pumba Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grahamstown-Hotels-Pumba-Private-Game-Reserve.h2319463.Hotel-Information) > > [Mhondoro Safari Lodge & Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Mhondoro-Safari-Lodge-Villa.h11522151.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani River Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Tented-Camp-All-Inclusive.h57157744.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Safari-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36961786.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cabanas-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9459.Hotel-Information) > > [Sanbona Wildlife Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barrydale-Hotels-Sanbona-Wildlife-Reserve.h1155735.Hotel-Information) > > [Sebatana Private Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Sebatana-Private-Reserve.h32459379.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cascades Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cascades-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9515.Hotel-Information) > > [Tshukudu Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Tshukudu-Bush-Lodge.h1201423.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun City Hotel and Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-Soho-Hotel-Casino-At-Sun-City-Resort.h527184.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oyster Box](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Umhlanga-Hotels-The-Oyster-Box.h2939964.Hotel-Information) ---
