    We had an amazing stay. The dinner cooked by the hosts was incredible. It is a must to book the giraffe safari on the farm itself. This was an experience we will never forget. In addition, Vanessa was so lovely in giving us so many tips for the Addo park and a safari (incl. visit times, safe roads etc.)

    A lovely contemporary main lodge restaurant/lounge with individual sleeping lodges scattered in the hillside. Walk with elephants and the botany/bush walk a must! Delicious food, friendly helpful staff and a nice pool area to relax by or have a dip. 15km of unmade up road but don’t be put off , take it slowly it’s worth the trip!

    Great accommodation concept in a very remote area not too far away from Addo Elephant National Park. Great and super friendly staff, great food and drinks options, nice pool area and our lodge was amazing. You can book a private game drive throughout the reserve, which was a unique experience as we not only spotted Giraffes but also could feed them from super close
