Singa Lodge

We booked 2 x rooms for 3 nights and was allocated room 6 & 7. The rooms were large, beautiful and clean. We had a car and was allocated a garage space. Check in was easy and the staff are lovely and helpful. We were given the room keys which also has a button for the garage and electric gate to access the property. The rooms are all different and styled in a traditional African theme. We had booked bed and breakfast, and the breakfasts are wonderful. There is Fruit, yoghurt, cereals,meat and pastries and also a menu which they come and take your order with a large choice of omelette, full English, French toast plus more all cooked fresh for you. The pool looked lovely, but it wasn't quite warm enough for us to use. There is a lovely outdoor seating area near the bar which is open until 10pm. There is a shopping area 20 minutes walk or 4 minutes drive which has restaurants and shops such as Woolworths so we went here for supplies and also ate at Spur (highly recommended). We had a lovely stay at Singa Lodge and didn't want to leave. Definitely stay here if you are in the area and we will return.

I did a surprise booking for my husband's birthday at Singa Lodge in Summerstrand. When we arrived the staff was very friendly and helpfull. When we were taken to our room it had candles all over that was lit and rose petals all over. There was a bottle of champayne as well as cake with a birthday message. This was really very special and set a very romatic mood. The room was absolutely beautiful and very clean. It was lovely and quiet without any noise. The breakfast was 10/10. The only downfall was that the TV did not work in our room and the jet bath does not work. When we checked out we were informed that our room was actually upgraded from what we originally booked and the champayne and the extras were all complimenatary, which then made up for the tv and bath tub not working. Thank you Singa Logde for an unforgetable experience. We will definately be back! This experience was definately value for our money.

Some of the reviews about Singa Lodge described it as being a little worn at the edges, and that is arguably true, but don’t let it dissuade you from staying. My traveling companion and I stayed four nights in Port Elizabeth before heading to our safari, and I chose Singa based on the photos of its exotic decor. Our room was two levels, with the lower entrance-level being a colourful Moroccan-style sitting room with a fridge and a coffee station. It was a beautiful place for a cup of tea, and a book with the windows wide open, and the afternoon sunlight streaming in. The upper floor of the suite was extremely spacious, with a king-size bed and a surprisingly comfortable futon-style mattress. The walls of windows were beautiful, and they opened to the tree tops. The massive bathroom with a soaking tub and a shower was separated from the sleeping area by a large armoire and a screen around the toilet. (Maybe not the kind of room to share with a work colleague.) I thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff was terrific and helped us secure a driver to take us around to various stops in Port Elizabeth. Breakfast was included in our stay and was even prepared despite a four-hour power outage in the city. For travelers from other continents looking to enjoy the flavor of Africa, Singa’s wonderfully-decorated rooms will impress you.
