My wife and I stayed here during a 3 week trip through S-Africa. At 5 hours from Cape Town, it's worth the drive. The setting is stunning. We stayed in the Green Room for two nights which is the best suite in the house (out of four). Marcus and Linda were great hosts, making us feel welcome with a very... More

We stayed here for one night on our way down the Garden Route. It was really not enough time, but there you are, we'll know better on our next trip. We stayed in the Green Room which is absolutely enormous and beautifully decorated. There is a large window at the end of the room looking straight on to the lake... More

My husband and I stayed here for two nights while travelling the Garden Route. It was a beautiful and comfortable place to stay and it felt incredibly restful lazing by the pool looking out over the lake. It was a stunning view. The hosts were wonderful and incredibly accommodating and nothing was too much trouble for them. They operated an... More

Having spent the last 2 weeks travelling around the Garden Route, for our last few days we felt we needed somewhere tranquil to really digest the things we have seen during our trip. Having been thoroughly taken with South Africa generally, and having experienced some of the most breathtaking scenery, animals in the natural environment, Ichibi has been the icing... More

Marcus and Linda could not have done more to make our trip perfectly relaxed and enjoyable. Super high... More

2 nights at this amazing 5 star lodge was just not enough. I got to that conclusion about 2 hours into my stay and as I write this I'm trying to work out how quickly I can return. My trip to South Africa involved a 2000km round trip on the Garden route to see friends and family. By the time... More

We stayed at Ichibi Lodge in April of this year and what a wonderful experience it was! The lodge is set in the most beautiful, peaceful surroundings - the ideal place to chill out and forget all your troubles. Just sitting out on the verandah watching the fish eagles circle the lake is enough to relax anyone. The food is... More
