Perfek vir ons gesin.

Ons het die naweek weg so geniet. Ons dogtertjie van 2 het haarself om gespeel met die 2 honde, sy het die beeste ook natuurlik baie geniet. Die ete was baie lekker en die vriendelikheid en hulpvaardigheid van die personeel besonders. Ons kom beslis weer!

Perfect for our family.

We enjoyed the weekend away so much. Our 2-year-old daughter enjoyed herself with the 2 dogs, she also enjoyed the cattle very much of course. The meal was very tasty and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff exceptional. We will definitely come again!

Farm lodge stay.

This is more like a family farm stay lodge. Close proximity to Addo. Most direct route from PE is a 35 km, very bumpy tar road. Lots of outdoor activities for children. Our unit was self-catering and was very nice. The lodge is on a working farm inside an electric fence. Heavy burglar proofing further suggested that it's not the best of areas. Everything was very neat but I suppose it lacked the holiday magic. Our shower floor was oily and the drain blocked. Also, the cold water at the basin was not working. The frying pan in the kitchen literally looked like a car drove over it. Fortunately, we've learned to take some of our own utensils even when visiting Self-Catering. One would expect an expensive place like this to give a bit more attention to these details. All in all not bad though. Pleasant stay. Friendly staff.

Luuks, stil en rustig op die plaas, lekker ontbyt, swembad, pragtige huisie en tuine.

Ons het baie lekker gebly, lekker gebraai en na 'n dag van 42 grade in die Olifantpark, het ons lekker afgekoel in die swembad. Die personeel is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Dit was 'n lekker naweek op die plaas, met 'n baie luukse atmosfeer. Ek sal dit enige tyd aanbeveel.

Luxury, quiet and peaceful on the farm, nice breakfast, swimming pool, beautiful house and gardens.

We had a great time, barbecued and after a day of 42 degrees in the Elephant Park, we cooled down in the pool. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It was a nice weekend on the farm, with a very luxurious atmosphere. I would recommend it anytime.

Baie netjies en skoon.

Ideale verblyf naby die Addo-olifantpark met als wat jy benodig. Die mense wat daar werk is wonderlik en mens voel baie welkom. Enigste nadeel is die eenheid was ongelooflik koud. Kry geen son nie en ons kind het siek geraak so wou nie die lugversorging vir hitte gebruik het nie. Ek sou muur-verwarmers voorstel.

Ideal accommodation near the Addo Elephant Park with everything you need. The people who work there are wonderful and you feel very welcome. Only downside is the unit was incredibly cold. Got no sun and our child got sick so didn't want to use the air conditioning for heat. I would suggest wall heaters.

Uitstekende en Rustige Plaas Verblyf.

Ons het aanvanklik vir twee aande bespreek en toe nog 'n ekstra nag gebly. Baie vriendelike en hulpvaardige ontvangs. Die Garden Cottage waarin ons gebly het is baie, baie modern, asook uiters skoon en netjies. Die tuine is goed versorg en baie mooi. Ideale en baie rustige verblyf op 'n werkende sitrus plaas baie naby aan Addo Olifant Park asook ander plekke en dinge om te gaan sien en doen. Sal dit hoogs aanbeveel vir ander en self ook weer hier bly wanneer ek weer in die omgewing is. Daar is 'n restaurant op die perseel, maar ons het verkies om elke aand te braai .

Excellent and Peaceful Farm Stay.

We initially booked for two nights and then stayed an extra night. Very friendly and helpful reception. The Garden Cottage we stayed in is very, very modern, as well as extremely clean and tidy. The gardens are well maintained and very beautiful. Ideal and very peaceful accommodation on a working citrus farm very close to Addo Olifant Park as well as other places and things to see and do. Would highly recommend to others and stay here again myself when I'm in the area again. There is a restaurant on site, but we preferred to have a barbecue every night.
