Addo Dung Beetle Guest Farm

The dung beetle unit was a lovely surprise. Our children (5 and 11) were thrilled and wanted to stay longer. Quality crockery, basics like water, tea, coffee, milk, sugar, and super clean unit was a treat! Our host, Henry, was great from the pre-visit up until the end of our stay. The kitchen staff were also very kind and we felt well looked after. We will surely return (but for longer next time)!

The manager, Henri, was very friendly and helpful in all our requests. He went out of his way to accommodate our needs.

I participated in the Addo Ultra Run last weekend. Registration was at nearby Hayterdale Trail Campsite. What a perfect place to stay a night before as we have to be at the campsite super-early on Saturday. Even better I met fellow runners staying there and we shared stories and experience. Felt like the whole hotel occupied by runners! Perfect stay, good dinner and breakfast and another lovely African hospitality. Smooth check-in (pre-payment made via ***********). Special mention to the reception Manager and David and the kitchen team for entertaining my request for packed-breakfast and the modified menu for subsequent dinner & breakfast meals. The balcony view as well as Lapa upper deck view of the surrounding citrus farm and Addo National Park as far as Zuurberg Mountain (I guess) are amazing. Early morning birds and dozens of bird nests on the tree (some with little chicks) added to the atmosphere. And the pool by the pond and jacuzzi looked so inviting but couldn’t get a chance to dip in. In short, two-night stay wasn’t enough. Will back for this and more. Love from Malaysia! Shaari

Fantastic Bush Cabin stay very close to the main gate to Addo Elephant Park. The private bush cabin was perfect for our one nights stay. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Beds were very comfy and place was clean. Loved the private outside bathroom under the trees.

A lovely, peaceful stay. Lit a fire and gazed over the valley drinking coffee all evening. The outdoor shower was nice, but the thermostat was a little low. I notified the owner of this on departure. Beds were warm and comfortable. There was a mouse in the wall, who I scared off with a little judicious banging near where the scurrying was, but this meant that I was awake at around 02:00. But one does expect a degree of wildness when booking a secluded place like this. Wonderful!

Conveniently located 15 min away from the park's entrance. Henry made us feel right at home. We stayed at the bush cabin1 and we absolutely loved it. Secluded and quiet. I loved the outdoor shower: nothing beat a hot shower under the stars!
