Chundu Island

Chundu Island

Victoria Falls

Perhaps Chundu’s best asset is its location. Chundu Island is located in the heart of the Zambezi National Park, only 21 km from Zimbabwe’s majestic Victoria Falls. The island is superbly positioned on the Zambezi River and only accessible by boat.

In contrast with the hustle and bustle of Vic Falls, a town that caters to both the adrenaline junkies and the curious, indulge instead in deliciously chilled island life.  Chundu Island is a lodge with sole access to the beautiful 1.4 km long island on the mighty Zambezi River, and is a completely different way of experiencing both river life and the Victoria Falls. 

There is a lot to do both on the water and on land:  Glorious sunset cruises with snacks and cocktails, the contrasting thrill and peace of canoeing on the river, bird watching, fishing, visiting Victoria Falls, exciting game drives and bush walks in the Zambezi National Park, all under the direction and care of professional and experienced guides. 

The lodge is built in among the trees and has spacious rooms with fabulous views over the river into the Zambezi National Park or the banks of the river on the Zambian side. All rooms are attractively furnished and have outdoor shower and a deck with views over the river. There’s a restaurant and bar, swimming pool and plenty space to relax between adventures.

The Three Boutique Hotel

Cape Town

The hotel is situated on Thesen Island and is a clever reinvention of a former power station. Throughout the hotel, you'll find reminders of its past, and clever use of architecture and design has transformed the building into a very comfortable place to stay. 

There is a cafe and bar, swimming pool, spa, a gym close by, parking and of course, there are plenty of things to do in the surrounding area including boat trips, nature reserves, nature walks and much more besides. A sunset cruise is not to be missed and if you're in the right season whale watching can also be arranged. 

The bright and comfortable rooms are all air-conditioned and have a balcony/deck, WiFi, minibar and television.

The Turbine Hotel

Knysna

Set right on the promenade in Sea Point, this beautiful old hotel is something of a local landmark. This splendid 1920's Cape Dutch building sits between the mountains and the sea. The terrace is the ideal please to sit with a coffee, or something stronger, and watch the world go by and enjoy the vibrant beach scene which is right in front of the hotel. 

There's an excellent restaurant and popular courtyard bar, there's also a beautiful spa which is very welcome after a busy day shopping or sightseeing. The rooms all have air conditioning, television, minibar and safe, loft rooms overlook the courtyard or table mountain and classic rooms are equally spacious although do not have a view of the sea.

How our Tent Ratings work

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
