It is a beautiful property, near the main roadso easy to find. The staff are all lovely, friendly etc. The main problem was a mix up with my partners breakfast, the order was not correct when he cleary stated what he wanted. Nothing major but annoying and shouldn't happen

Found Chrislin Lodge very comfortable and relaxing. Well organised establishment, safe with friendly staff. Close to Addo Elephant park, only downside was the condition of the access roads, where road works are being conducted.

The traditional style of this lodge makes it a lovely setting. This was our second stay at the lodge (after a gap of 11 years!), and it was even better than we remembered. Highly recommended. Wifi could be stronger, and laundry service offered on premises would be appreciated.

Excellent choice if visiting Addo
Chrislin lodge is really guest house rather than a hotel so don't expect a residents lounge and full services during the day. Dinner is a fixed menu at a fixed time but the food is excellent, as was breakfast. The rooms are mud built traditional rondavels which gives the place character but inside are spacious and comfortable with air conditioning if required. Crisscross Adventures is an associated company based round the corner and provide a range of game drives and other activities. We did the half day game drive and the 3 houry canoe trip - both excellent.

Lovely setting
We stayed here for 4 nights, but that was 2 nights too long. We wanted a quiet hotel with a pool near Addo Park and the thatched lodges were novel.The grounds and pool are great....They dont tell you about the crop spraying nearby some nights in the brochure, which is noisy. Most people seem to stay for 1 or 2 nights then move on.This probably explains the limited menu offered which is repeated every couple of days. The area has a huge choice of B&B and Chrislin needs some tweaking to be great value.

Great value lodge near to Addo. Food was fantastic, but not cheap. Our room was very spacious with a comfortable (hard) bed. People were very friendly and our stay was uncomplicated.

A lovely weekend - fab location close to the park. They work with CrissCross Tours who gave us a wonderful full day elephant safari and then half day river trip. Very friendly - could not do enough for you! Nice grounds and lovely food
