Secure in-compound parking with electronic gates/openers provided, for a small (reasonable) fee for peace of mind. 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.

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

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.

The facilities and game drives here are incredible. We stayed in the luxury family suite with pool room and it was so picturesque with everything that you need. The game drives are great and the drivers are extremely knowledgeable. The food choices at breakfast and dinner are also great, with a wide variety of options and the evening menus change daily. I honestly could not recommend this stay enough.

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.

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!

Nice surprise on the way to Garden Rt

We were passing through Albertinia and decided to spend the night at this lodge and it was such an unexpected pleasure. Dinner was tasty, cozy room and a really fun game drive in the morning. It’s a different concept from safari in a big NP, once you understand that you’re in for a great ride.
