Parkview Lodge

Sunshine Coast


Close to the Matyholweni gate at the southern entrance of the park, Parkview offers three comfy rooms in the main building (the upstairs room has the best views) and 10 luxurious, well spaced-out safari tents overlooking Addo Elephant National Park. Full board option is available.

There are plans to add 20 cottages.
