Foodwise is really below average, just not good especially for a 5\* resort. It felt like diner was prepared during the day and heated up in the evening, just not fresh. Breakfast was really poor. Only meal that was good was the lunch. No snacks during the day. Due to this matter i will not likely to visit Bukela again nor reconmend to anyone which is regretful as the staff and facilities... ![Netherlands](https://a.travel-assets.com/egds/marks/flags/nl.svg) Mingyuet [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paterson-Hotels-Bukela-Game-Lodge-Amakhala-Game-Reserve.h3071658.Hotel-Information) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37280000/37276100/37276005/7416bcea.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Double Room (With Bath) | Down duvets, in-room safe, desk, iron/ironing board](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37280000/37276100/37276005/4262091a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37280000/37276100/37276005/b0f46f2b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37280000/37276100/37276005/c6e3913e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 137 High Street Guest House [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makhanda-Hotels-137-High-Street-Guest-House.h37276005.Hotel-Information) Makhanda 10/10 Exceptional (3 reviews) "Didn't stay there " ![Canada](https://a.travel-assets.com/egds/marks/flags/ca.svg) Dale £68 includes taxes & fees 3 Apr - 4 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makhanda-Hotels-137-High-Street-Guest-House.h37276005.Hotel-Information) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96580000/96571100/96571042/29914f82.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96580000/96571100/96571042/e67b3218.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Standard Room | Premium bedding, in-room safe, desk, laptop workspace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96580000/96571100/96571042/70618116.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Executive Suite | Bathroom | Hair dryer, towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96580000/96571100/96571042/f4901884.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Umbono Private Lodge [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Umbono-Private-Lodge.h96571042.Hotel-Information) Alexandria £134 includes taxes & fees 2 Apr - 3 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Umbono-Private-Lodge.h96571042.Hotel-Information) ![Outdoor pool, pool loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/9000000/8320000/8310600/8310588/73cd835e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/9000000/8320000/8310600/8310588/9f6d5563.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Chalet, 3 Bedrooms, Non Smoking | Living room | TV, DVD player](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/9000000/8320000/8310600/8310588/8929746b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/9000000/8320000/8310600/8310588/59cfd85d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### First Group Kowie River Chalets [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Alfred-Hotels-First-Group-Kowie-River-Chalets.h8310588.Hotel-Information) Port Alfred 9.2/10 Wonderful (12 reviews) "Thank you for a great weekend at the Kowie Chalets.

The bath is huge and the outdoor shower was fabulous. The food was really good too. The service and friendliness of the staff was impeccable. Our game driver was really knowledgeable and we got to see the white lions before anyone else showed up. The area is huge. You just never know what to expect.
