Fantastic Stay in Port Elizabeth

I enjoyed my three night stay at the Amani Lodge. The establishment is very well maintained and is in a great location. The room I had was spacious for me and was very clean. It had a refrigerator and microwave inside. The bed was queen sized and extremely comfortable; I slept so well. My room came with breakfast which was delicious and filling. Carl, my host, is a great person and very professional. He's very knowledgable about Port Elizabeth and South Africa. I enjoyed staying here and I definitely recommend it.

Great one night stay.

Great overnight stay!. Carl and his team certainly know how to look after you. Lovely breakfast, too. Would recommend the Amani to anybody. Star of the show, though, was Buddy, Carl’s rescue dog.

A great place to stay.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. The owner is very pleasant and was quite attentive to our needs. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. The WIFI was not really good as it kept cutting out,but we did what we needed with it.

Memorable and highly recommended

As two worn traveling couples, we were pleasantly surprised with this charming oasis and surrounds with very comfortable beds and amenities near the airport at a very reasonable rate. Carl, one of the new owners, who has done a beautiful renovation of the property which includes his outstanding artwork adorning several walls, was very personable and informative and went out of his way to ensure our needs were met, transporting us to the airport and providing personal suggestions for dinner. We would highly recommend this guest lodge which is a tremendous value for the accommodations and even includes a breakfast!

La plus belle et la plus accueillante

La plus belle et la plus accueillante des guesthouse dans un quartier tranquille Les chambres sont délicieusement décorées, avec une très grande salle de bain, la véranda où l’on prendra son petit déjeuner (copieux) avec vue sur la piscine, est aménagée avec goût et sent la cire, Avec un petit coin lecture confortable. Le jardin vous tend les bras pour moment de détente avant de se baigner dans une belle piscine très propre à l’eau cristalline. De belles places de parc. Notre hôte est absolument charmant, discret et de bons conseils pour trouver de bons restaurants ou endroits à visiter. Je recommande cet endroit chaleureusement
