A great place if you want to be 'off grid' for a bit. Lovely location and accommodation with great wide views. All the staff were very polite and nothing was too much trouble. Our evening meals were faultless. We are happy to recommend and hope to return again one day. We would suggest of if you are want to do a trip into Addo Elephant Park with the lodge, that you book in advance. However, we went on the trip with Schotia Game reserve which was very good, which the lodge can organise for you.

The staff here are on a par with global industry leaders. The service is considerate and attentive without harrassment. They are knowledgable, friendly and efficient. The food is fantastic and allows the experience of the culture. Accomodation was superb, views for miles. Cannot rate highly enough (I work in this industry so have experienced many top hotels, this is right up there but also offers excellent value for money)

Beautiful place, relaxing with amazing nature around. Rooms are large, comfortable, clean and has it all . Really enjoyed the place and the food. Service was great, no complain..but a bit too much ( for someone who does not like to be king or Queen). and it is at least 30-40 min. Drive to Addo.

A comfortable safari lodge with sweeping views. This place is up on a ridge in a small reserve overlooking the surrounding countryside of fruit trees and mountains in the distance. Our accommodation was in one half of a traditional style lodge cottage with thatched roof and a private balcony overlooking the view. It was spacious, seemed recently refurbished and the bed comfortable. The bathroom was excellent with separate indoor and private outdoor showers and a bathtub. There are a couple of small swimming pools (one adult only). Breakfast was good, and served on a verandah with the same view and dozens of wild birds on feeding tables to watch. It is close enough to drive to Addo comfortably, and the team at Hitgeheim are very keen to organise trips; in my view, Addo itself can be done easily on one’s own if you have an appropriate car; we saw plenty of elephants and zebra and a couple of lions. Schotia is a more ‘safari park’ experience, with a wider variety of wildlife which you can get closer to and an informative guide but a slightly less natural environment. The price for the Schotia transfer felt a bit steep and as it was heavily encouraged should perhaps simply be included in the cost of the trip.

We read some excellent reviews before choosing Hitgeheim, and they were all justified! Archie has created a little piece of heaven in these 8 thatched-roof chalets, cozy lounge with fireplace, decks and restaurant. We loved everything about our chalet.....private deck overlooking the river valley, sitting room, comfy bed, open shower. The food was uniformly delicious and beautifully presented. What really makes Hitgeheim special though, is its staff. Everyone was wonderful, and we are especially grateful to Donald & Michael for taking such good care of us; to Peter for a fabulous and informative tour of Addo Elephant Park, and to Archie for arranging our tour days in CapeTown with his son, Martin (who is a chip off the old block!). Archie also arranged our game drives at Schotia and at Amakahla. If you are going anywhere near Port Elizabeth, this is THE place to stay!!

Highly recommended
There is nothing to fault about our experience. Everyone at Hitgeheim was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. Safaris and all transportation was arranged for us, and everything was seamless. The view from Hitgeheim is incredible. Great breakfasts and delicious wine and dinners. The room was very comfortable and clean, with complimentary sherry, and a well-stocked (and reasonably priced) minibar. It really was a 5 star experience, and this is mainly due to the exceptional high quality of staff at Hitgeheim. I highly recommend it, and I would stay here again.

The highlight of our trip.
We were unable to find accommodation within Addo elephant park and that was our good fortune. Hitgeheim Eco Reserve was so much better. From the moment you arrive you are made to feel valued. Their attention to detail is superb and the accommodation is very comfortable and well thought out. We stayed for two nights and therefore did two safaris one one day, three nights would give you time to relax and enjoy the views, pool and walks around the reserve. I would recommend both trips :- Addo in the morning with Hittgeheim's own warden who is very knowledgeable and the afternoon trip to a private game reserve Schotia with an open air Boma dinner and night drive was memorable. One word of advice take the transfer transportation it is worth the money. It is very dark and the roads are not good. Thanks Archie for a wonderful stay. My only piece of constructive criticism would be get a little more light in the dining room so that you are able to see the wonderful food you prepare. Other guests said the same. Overall though 5*.

We should have stayed another night!
A wonderful place to stop along the road from Cape Town to Durbin. The lodge lives up to everything that it presents on its web page. From the moment we arrived we were greeted like family returning home. The lodge is fortunate to have such an amiable staff that was always there to help, but at the same time not overbearing. The room was exceptional - the view, the furnishings, the complimentary sherry upon arrival and the comfortable beds. Turn down service was exceptional especially on winter nights - chocolates, bottled water, and warm sheets thanks to the electric bed warmers. After returning from a full day safari hot chocolate and cookies were waiting for us in our room. Meals were exceptional. There was a large selection of wine and meal choices although limited were varied enough to meet the needs of guests. The lodge grounds provided opportunities to see zebras, antelopes, birds and a host of other animals without difficulty. Hitgeheim is an experience that should not be missed if traveling through this area.

You must stay here!!!!!
From the minute we arrived to check out (with a complimentary car wash!!) it was a great stay. The complex was typical African style with lots of wood and thatch and you could run a white glove around the place and not pick up a speck of dirt. The standard of food was fantastic (with a minor hiccup on the Chef's day off) and a quite reasonable wine cellar was available to peruse before dinner each day. Archie (“The Boss”) was always about (without being “in your face”) and was a mine of information and full of anecdotes. The staff, without singling out any one person, were absolutely brilliant and trained to a VERY high standard. The fact that Hitgeheim only has 8 rooms makes this a relaxed place to stay and to enjoy the stunning Sundays River Valley views. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE GOING BACK!!!!

Hitgeheim is a 5 star experience! The private villa rooms are beautifully decorated. The staff are polite and helpful. The food is gourmet. We loved the open concept design, with separate villas, decks, sitting rooms and restaurant (with both indoor and outdoor dining). And the views from everywhere on the premises are outstanding!

We stayed here 2 nights and wished we could stay longer. The lodge sits on a hill so you get a great view of the valley and surrounding landscape. You take a short drive through a reserve to reach the lodge so you're greeted by zebras and impalas! Everything about our stay was great - it's located close to several game reserves and other activities but it's also worth spending your days relaxing on the property.
