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.

    The property is beautifully outfitted and a fantastic location to Addo Elephant Park. Suzette was very kind and helpful and has created a fantastic retreat on the property. It is very safe with gates, screens and locks. The air conditioning was a nice bonus, although the house didn't seem to get overly warm throughout the day. The swimming pool was lovely and the gardens gave plenty to look at. We had a less mobile person in our group and she was able to easily get around the property and house.

    We stayed at the Addo Riverside Villa, Colchester, and never regretted having done so. Wayne, the owner/manager was oozing knowledge about the vicinity. The advice he gave made us feel like we knew the place. The ambience of the Addo Riverside Villa, Colchester, was astounding - built on the bank of the Sundays River with boats galore. The other attraction that will make us go back is the walking trail along the river bank. Wayne`s sense of humour leaves you pondering.

    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.

    My wife and I have stayed in Colchester a few times and Settle Inn certainly rates as one of the best we have visited. We love the proximity to Addo as that was the reason we visited. The safety and quiet are also two outstanding features. The apartment itself is outstanding and there was not a thing we were unhappy with. Thank you very much Noel & Delia Furlong Cape Town

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the house boat. A real novelty. Would highly recommend going on the boat trip to go sand boarding on the sand dunes lower down the river.
