Amazing experience very close to Addo Elephant park

10.0

The main house is beautiful with many lovely sitting areas and pools. Our little cottage on the other side of the property was situated in a big garden with another pool. It was very specious and comfortable - just the safe didn’t work and the door only stayed closed when you locked it. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast absolutely delicious. We booked some game drives which were all organized perfectly.

Nothing really 😉

Wonderful old-style colonial house now a hotel, with three pools. The staff were wonderful. They even washed my car for me - no charge! The breakfasts were delicious by the pool and it’s super-close to Addo elephant park.

Nothing. It was great.
