Lovely.
Room and main lodge were lovely. Game viewing was slightly disappointing. Reserve is effectively broken into fenced sections with the lions in their own enclosure. Guide appeared a bit rushed at times.

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.

Non-South Africans should realize that facilities like this are a far cry from a “proper” game lodge experience. The developers of the facility have done a good job in cobbling together land and stocking it with wildlife, but it really is more of a glorified zoo than a proper game reserve. The facilities are nice and the staff are lovely, so it's certainly worth a visit. But I wouldn't recommend staying more than a day.
