We stayed here overnight on our way back to KZN. The rooms are lovely and the gardens are beautiful. Unfortunately we only spent one night here. We had a very nice breakfast and Sue and her staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend them if you are looking for a place to stay in East London.

We had a fabulous stay with Sue and her team. They went out of their way to accommodate our special requests and that made all the difference to our trip. Delicious breakfasts. Our room was well equipped and spacious. Highly recommended!

Our stay was amazing and Sue was a wonderful hostess.. she kindly drove us to the airport for our rental car for a third of the price a taxi would have cost us, despite having an appointment earlier that morning.The grounds literally are a small slice of heaven and the thatched cottages impeccably decorated... Sue herself an artist. We heard... More

We stayed in the Safari room. A lovely thatch roof hut which was very spacious. A full English breakfast was served each day. The staff were very polite and helpful. Only criticism was that some small gecko poos were found on the floor and bed cover at times during our visit - apparently they are commonly found in thatch roof's.... More

It's like being in a park, not in a town. The Loerie Hide it's placed in a green area surrounded by a fantastic garden. You can see lots of birds and hear them singing. But you are just in a big town like East London! My room, the Safari Room, was very comfortable, clean, spacious and had a big balcony.... More

The Loerie Hide provides b&b accommodation in a delightful garden setting, where birdsong is the only sound. The property is perched on a hill-side, offering fine views across the tree tops. Freshly-cooked breakfasts, enjoyed in the main house, are eaten at a communal table. Highly recommended.

I felt like I was living in a tree hut and a very unfit person like me didnt appreciate the stairs at first but after getting luggage and going out for dinner, the stairs were a good work out. I found the garden setting to be very connecting, I was on business so didnt find the energy to work, so... More

My husband and I stayed in the Rondavel room and we highly recommend it for honey-mooners as it is private, cozy, honey and very romantic. The room was clean and had its own deck. The staff was very helpful and the breakfast was incredible. You can eat with a great view of the back gardens and they let you choose... More

My husband and I have been traveling a long time in Africa. South Africa is the bright at the end of the tunnel. Our first hotel in Africa was in a big chain in Kruger. Loerie Hide was then the 2nd accommodation. In comparison, Loerie hide has everything better than the big chain hotel. The room we had was so... More
