- "Lovely hotel to stay at when visiting Addo. Rooms are huge and the bathroom is lovely, especially the outdoor shower. Only downside is there is no door so the light comes in as soon as the sun rises. 10-15 min drive to Addo, not much in the local area. Breakfast was good, buffet selection and eggs cooked to order. Nice pool with towels and sunscreen provided which was a nice touch." - "The actual hotel is really very good and the rooms are outstanding. Nice grounds, nice pool and the food was also of a decent quality. Now on a road trip around South Africa, you get used to warnings about safety and taking care of belongings. Here we were welcomed with a lengthy delivery on all the steps the hotel was taking and what in turn we needed to do, which even by SA standards appeared a bit alarming, so made you think the surrounding area must be a huge 'worry'. Then we were presented with a piece of paper to sign that absolved the hotel of all responsibility for any incident howsoever caused and went on so say, we were to indemnify the hotel should any incident arise. It was a total disclaimer! I refused to sign. This was agreed, so I somewhat reluctantly stayed as trying to find an alternate at short notice near Addo would have been very difficult. "

The grounds were wonderful with oranges ripe and ready to eat. The air smelled of orange blooms. The night sky was so bright with stars and Milky Way. One night my husband & I sat on the swings and just stared at the sky. The staff were helpful and friendly and the food at Chrislin was exceptionally good. We ate at the restaurant there both nights. It was very convenient being picked up at the lodge for our tour of the Addo Elephant Park. "

- "From the very first moment and the warm welcome this was an unforgettable experience. The lodges, the setting (even the amazing 28km gravel track to get in!), the staff & the food were first class. Top all of that off with an elephant encounter and you have memories that will last a lifetime! The ladies there arranged a half-day guided safari for us at nearby Addo Game Reserve - thoroughly recommend that too." - "Alta, Tracy and Godwin were very welcoming and very attentive. The rooms are all external to the superb main Lodge. I highly recommend this Lodge in it's own small but game filled reserver, separate from the main Addo Elephant Sanctuary which is some 55 minutes drive away. Our villa\cabin\room was on its own (as all are) bur secluded in the bush. Our car could be parked very close but there were well lit gravel paths to the main Lodge. It was not obviously apparent from booking with Exepedia that there were cabins with views over the valley and reserve, We would have tried to book one of those if we knew of their existence. The feature of ours was a stream running by the external private deck. The deck had a Jacuzzi but it was covered with canvas, which we I lifted it showed that it needed cleaning of leaves and debris. I'm sure that if we wanted to use it they would have jumped to clean it for us. The lunch and dinner menus are set but they do ask if you have any dietary requirements. Good wine selection, In the booking format presented by Expedia,"
