Stayed at the Ibhayi Guest Lodge in April 2013 as had gone to PE to watch my brother in Ironman SA. The complex is fantastic, very scenic and tranquil. The room was amazing, very spacious and very clean, felt like home from home. The staff were very friendly and did all they could to make out stay a good one.... More

This is a really nice gated lodge. We spent most of the time exploring outdoors (around N2) so we really didn't have the time to utilize many of the amenities. We stayed in a family room, which was spacious (with a kitchen area). At a glance, there were two pools and a WiFi lounge (there is WiFi in the rooms,... More

On a family holiday and headed for Cape Town, we found Ibhayi Guest Lodge perfect for a one night’s stay, even though it is obviously geared for conferences and company workshops. The staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms comfortable with a fully stocked mini bar. All the usual luxuries were available- including free WiFi. There is a swimming... More

Thanks for the great review! Glad you stayed with us on your way down the coast. You're right, with the conference rooms on site, and the central location of Ibhayi, we're fortunate to have a lot of corporate guests staying with us. But we also love having guests on holiday - always very inspiring! - and try to make sure... More

We stayed one night after a 12 hour flight before setting off on safari. It was so much better than being in one of the chain hotels. The staff are very helpful, the rooms are spacious, the gardens are lovely and it is in a nice location. We had lunch, dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and the food is... More

The room is spacious and very welcoming. Great and very professional service. Breakfast was delicious and the dining room is amazingly renovated. Best location of course. I really enjoyed my stay there.

We stayed one night on May 9th,2012. We had a very good breakfast, the chef made an effort to provide us a vegetarian dish. While leaving we inadvertently forgot our iPhone at the lodge and then travelled onwards on the garden route to Storms river mouth. We discovered that our phone was not with us 200 km later.
