Thoroughly Thrilled with Ilita!
We were thoroughly thrilled with Ilita Lodge! Perched high up on a hill, Ilita Lodge delivers splendid views of the ocean & the Great Brak River,, wonderful comfort, security & fabulous food! The only disappointment is that the GPS takes you on a very long un paved road to reach your destination, so go the other route! Otherwise we would definitely rebook there again! Friendly & helpful staff only make this lodge even more comfortable…

It is off the beaten path without being too far out. It is only 5 minutes from the N2, but far enough away to feel like a country cottage. The views are absolutely spectacular and the service is as good as any place I have visited. As a world traveler I would say this place is a must stay. In fact, we have already booked our next stay in May.

Ilita is absolutely beautiful. The view from my room was spectacular. The shower and facilities were amazing. Having breakfast on the patio overlooking the sea was also a highlight. Thank you so much. I loved every minute.

Falta gerenciamiento general personal
Está retirado del mar, como an5 km de la playa más cercana. La recepción muy amable y de buen gusto. Restorant y bar bien provistos y de buena calidad de servicio. El apartamento que nos fue asignado tenía olor nauseabundo de los sanitarios, mala calidad de utensilios de cocina, hicimos carne asada y los cubiertos no servían para cortar la carne. los vasos estaban sucios al momento de entrar al apartamento. Hicimos una noche, llegamos a las 18 hs, tomamos unos refrescos en el bar y para cuándo fuimos a la habitación y quisimos reclamar a las 20 ha, ya todos se habían retirado.

Entlang der Garden Route ...
Die Lage der Ilita-Lodge auf dem Gipfel eines Hügels oberhalb der Mündung des Great Brak River ist beeindruckend. Man hat freie Sicht über die Lagune des Flusses und die gesamte Bucht von Mossel Bay. Die Lodge lässt fast keine Wünsche offen. Hat man - wie wir - beinahe den Ganzen Tag mit dem Besuch in einem Nature-Reserve und danach der Anreise über 100km Dirtroad verbracht, muss man den Hügel nicht verlassen, um sich ein Restaurant zu suchen. Auch hierfür bietet die Lodge mit eigener kleiner Restauration eine Lösug. Unser Zimmer mit eigenem Balkon über der Bucht und eigenem Bad war sehr ansprechend eingerichtet und sehr groß. Würden wir wieder buchen? ... Absolut !

Die Aussicht vom Zimmer und auch von der großen Terrasse ist fanatisch. Das Zimmer war sehr schön eingerichtet, das Bad war allerdings schon etwas älter. Das Frühstück war okay - bei einem Vier-Sterne-Hotel hätte ich aber etwas mehr Auswahl erwartet.
