“The best little family getaway.”
What a beautiful spot.!!We absolutely loved our stay. From the most hospitable hosts Mike and Nita to the delicious brekkie we so enjoyed and looked forward to each morning. The two precious labs that made our boys trip and that brought us such joy. The beautiful citrus farm that ticks all the boxes. We will be back.

A wonderfully warm and welcoming place located near the Addo main gate. It had everything we needed and felt like home from the moment we arrived. The perfect base for exploring the park. Would absolutely recommend!
