We stayed at Hitgeheim Country Lodge for 3 nights and had a wonderful time. The rooms are beautiful, very private, and lavishily appointed. Our bathroom was huge and had a large soaking tub that looked out over the Acacia tree on the deck. The gardens are beautifully kept, and decks look out over the mountains and apple orchards in the... More

I have been a Flight attendant for over 33 years and have had the privilege to travel the world both for my job and pleasure. Which leaves me with a lot of experience and knowledge of hotels everywhere and their value for their pricing. My experience staying at Hitgeheim Country Lodge now leaves it at one of my favorite places... More

Stunningly beautiful location. We travelled from Cape Town so was a bit of a trek to get there but really worth it. Amazing views of the coast, mountains and sunsets all the way. Staff were so pleasant and helpful. Kids were served drinks at the pool much to their delight. Accommodation was luxurious. Four poster bed and huge sunken bath.... More

We really enjoyed our stay at Hitgeheim. We were disappointed to find that the sable and buffalo breeding area had been sold. The staff were attentive and friendly. Unfortunately it rained all day Sat and we may have wanted to use the communal tv room, but being allergic to dogs it was not possible. Having spent most of Sat in... More

If you like to be totally spoiled in a most scenic location this is the place to go to. In every possible way you get VIP treatment with personal attention from the owner. The staff is remarkable, all with a long service record. From our bedroom we had an excellant view over the the lush orange orchards down below in... More

We travel a lot and rarely mark anywhere 5/5 - Hitgeheim is the exception. Location, the greeting, the service, the rooms, the food, the log fire, all just perfect. Recommend the Addo and Scotia tours
