ParkView Safari Lodge, hotel in Colchester

Set in Colchester, 0.6 mi from the south entrance of Addo National Park, ParkView Safari Lodge offers free WiFi, and guests can enjoy a garden, a bar and a shared lounge.

I liked the being away from all the traffic and in nature with all the wild life roaming around the tents. It was a good way to kind of force you to enjoy nature with no tv in the tent. It was very nice and quiet. Very good for bonding and spending quality time with the person or people you are there with.

    We stayed at Dungbeetle River Lodge for 2 nights while visiting Addo. We arrived in the late afternoon and then took a full day game drive from the lodge. It was a bit much for us and would do a morning game drive next time. The experience was awesome, it was just too long for our pensioner bodies! Staying 2 nights was perfect because the evening gave us a nice recovery period before we hit the road for our return to Cape Town. Dungbeetle River Lodge was a perfect location from which to travel into Addo. It's literally 3 minutes from the south gate of the park.

    Not a quaint little tourist town, and somewhat disappointed with our stay (for choice of shops, restaurants and ease of access to the river, lack of info for St Croix marine reserve). The Sand dunes are spectacular, but also not easy to access as on private property. The day visit permit is affordable (via Pearson resort) yet this information is not easily available to visitors. Close proximity to Addo South Gate which is great. Some marketing PR would go a long way!

    It is a dusty , dirty place a favorite stop-over for long distance lorry drivers and all that they bring with them. The only :restaurants" which are really only fast food eatery's and not very good a that. the only thing Colchester has got going for it is that is very convenient for the Addo Elephant park, other than that it is not worth a visit.

    As a teenager I basically grew up in Colchester, not the asea as such, but we did a lot of camping over the years with friends and family. The views are just spectacular and if you love fishing it gets even better as it is a fisherman`s paradise.

    The proximity to Addo National Park, River Cruises on the Sundays River was excellent. The Taste of Africa Restaurant was a delight with friendly staff and delicious cuisine. Shopping facilities were pleasant.

    The house is in a very secure and quiet area. You feel really safe. We stayed at the 3 bedroom apartment. It was very clean and spacious. The apartment looks much better than in the pictures. The kitchen is very comfortable and has all appliances. We were able to watch movies on Netflix. The staff and owner were very kind and helpful (they even did our laundry although it is not supposed to be included). The house is located 5 minutes drive from the Addo south gate. Best location!! We highly recommend this house. Thank you for hosting us!

    We loved everything about this hotel. The location was ideal, the staff extremely welcoming and the facilities exceeded our expectations. Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean and comfortable and we especially loved the outside rock shower. We took advantage of the dinner option on both nights and the food was home cooked, plentiful and absolutely delicious. We could not fault anything and would highly recommend this hotel. Thank you Wesley and all your team for giving us such a wonderful and memorable experience.

    Remarkable value for money. The apartment was large and very well equipped for a self catering stay. Just a very short walk to the Sundays river where there are lovely views of the river and super bird watching (also from the old road bridge nearby). The community of houses here are directly opposite the South gate entrance to Addo Elephant park, and it is an easy drive down to the Sundays river mouth at the sea. The dune field here is truly breathtaking.

    What an amazing friendly team. Did not expect such a huge and delicious breakfast. Normally when I stay in Colchester, after visiting Addo Elephant Park, I'm to tired to get in the car to go to the restaurant in the evening hours, from this location you could walk, which was very convenient! In the morning I could take a cup of tea to the river to see the mongoose family playing in the sunrise. Would not surprise me if I rebook Sundune Guesthouse again.

    We had an amazing stay at the Happy Jackal Self Catering house. Liz and Peter are awesome hosts. They are so friendly and professional and make you feel so welcome. The house has everything you need and the beds and couches are super comfortable and warm. Would definitely recommend this place and especially if you are planning on visiting ADDO Elephant Park, it's literally across the road from the South Gate😍

    The house was really big and it provided many things for leisure (pool, billiard, darts, braai, games). It’s located in a calm environment close to the river where you can book different activities. The entrance to the Addo National Park is also nearby.
