Mooie locatie met natuur zwembad! Dichtbij Addo NP. Leuk en schoon huisje! Heel leuk verblijf incl community ruimte, gratis water etc.
Er is verder niets te doen omheen en zelfs wat gevaarlijk vanwege townships. Je merkt hier echter niks van bij African Home!
Restaurant en excursies zijn prijziger dan op het Addo park…

Super leuke logde in Afrikaanse stijl. Behulpzaam personeel. Dicht bij de ingang van Addo Elephant Park. Wij zijn hier drie nachten geweest en hebben iedere ochtend genoten van het heerlijke ontbijt dat de kok voor je klaarmaakt.
Wij verbleven in een familie huisje met een separate slaapkamer voor de kinderen.

This is a true home from home. We loved everything about Addo African Home and would definitely come back.
The staff is very helpful, the rondavel, where we stayed, was clean, practical and the bed was very comfy. Also the restaurant and hospitality were amazing.

Très bien! Le prix pour le safari est élevé mais cela peut valoir le coup.
Le restaurant est très bon et les vins sont agréables.
Le personnel et le propriétaire sont très serviables.

Absolutely charming lodge on a lovely lush property with amazing host. Our room was extremely tastefully and beautifully decorated (we got a free upgrade as it was not so busy - thank you a lot for that :-) ), good food in the restaurant and overall a very great vibe. Would definitely recommend if one visits Addo Elephant Park. We also did the Addo day safari organised by the lodge and had a superbe day!

Super moderne Unterkunft in traditionellem Stil. Die Zimmer sind modern und stylsich eingerichtet. Die Mitarbeiter waren super freundlichen, man hat sich wie zu Hause gefühlt.
Das Abendessen im Restaurant war sehr gut, auch hier muss man wieder den tollen Service erwähnen. Rundum ein toller Aufenthalt.
