Stunning breakfast views

Very good location, close (30mins.) to the Addo main gate. Located in a private reserve where you can also spot some local wildlife. Extremely friendly staff, very helpfull (even found our car all cleaned after a dirtroad game drive). The view from the restaurant is stunning during breakfast (which is delicious as well ;))

Exactly what we wanted from this element of our holiday.

Peaceful environment, views, accomodation chalets, staff courtesy and friendliness. Good food. The knowledge of the Addo Safari guide, knowing where to find the Elephants. We saw at least 100 during our trip into Addo.

It was ok, the game drives in the afternoon anf evening great.

The view was fantastic. The diner and brakfast ok. The very nice birdfeeding place just in front of the terrace but nobody was able to identify the birds from the staff..... not even the bright red ones. The pool in front of the room was nice.

Great exclusive accommodation with astonishing view.

Great accommodation with a lot of privacy and space an astonishing views from the balcony. The crew was polite and service was great. Every evening during our diner rooms were cleaned and beds made up. Diner was very good with nice wines. We did the morning safari with Hitgeheim and we loved the tour, the guide and the park.
