La plus belle et la plus accueillante

La plus belle et la plus accueillante des guesthouse dans un quartier tranquille Les chambres sont délicieusement décorées, avec une très grande salle de bain, la véranda où l’on prendra son petit déjeuner (copieux) avec vue sur la piscine, est aménagée avec goût et sent la cire, Avec un petit coin lecture confortable. Le jardin vous tend les bras pour moment de détente avant de se baigner dans une belle piscine très propre à l’eau cristalline. De belles places de parc. Notre hôte est absolument charmant, discret et de bons conseils pour trouver de bons restaurants ou endroits à visiter. Je recommande cet endroit chaleureusement

Sehr gute Lodge für Kurzaufenthalt.

Wir haben die Lodge als Ausgangspunkt für Addo genutzt. War alles prima. Die Nähe zum Flughafen erwies sich als nicht als Beeinträchtigung wie zunächst befürchtet.

Hyggeligt guesthouse.

Overnattede 1 nat på dette dejlige hotel/guesthouse. Carl er en fantastisk vært. Meget oplysende og vil gerne fortælle om området og kommer gerne med forslag til gode restauranter. Kender et par stykker, hvor de tilbyder 1 fl. rødvin u/b, når du kommer med en hilsen fra Carl. Kan anbefale Hussar Grill, som ligger i gåafstand fra Amani Guest Lodge. Morgenmaden nåede vi ikke, da vi havde en tidlig flyafgang.

Bästa service nånsin!

Perfekt start på Sydafrikatrippen med närhet till flygplatsen i Port Elizabeth. Carl som drev stället försedde oss med alla råd om säkerhet osv och tips på besöksmål och karta där han märkte ut bästa rutten för att se alla stora o små fina ställen och naturen. Flera timmar berättade han och var glad trevlig och serviceminded. Rummet var fräscht, mättnade och god frukost. Tack snälla Carl för all hjälp! Ert ställe rekommenderar vi absolut!

Fantastic Stay in Port Elizabeth

I enjoyed my three night stay at the Amani Lodge. The establishment is very well maintained and is in a great location. The room I had was spacious for me and was very clean. It had a refrigerator and microwave inside. The bed was queen sized and extremely comfortable; I slept so well. My room came with breakfast which was delicious and filling. Carl, my host, is a great person and very professional. He's very knowledgable about Port Elizabeth and South Africa. I enjoyed staying here and I definitely recommend it.

Great overnight stay!. Carl and his team certainly know how to look after you. Lovely breakfast, too. Would recommend the Amani to anybody. Star of the show, though, was Buddy, Carl’s rescue dog.

Marvellous accomodation! Everything in the rooms is new and very clean. The garden is amazing with a very clean and inviting pool. The owner is very engaged to let you have a pleasant stay. He was super friendly, gave us insider tips, maps and flyers for our trip along the garden route. The breakfast was excellent! The accomodation is close to the airport, but very quiet. I would definitely recommend this lodge!
