Addo Dung Beetle Guest Farm

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.

The bush cabin was perfect. I just loved the view from my place, and the outside shower and toilet were real nice. Only 10 minutes drive away from the Addo Elefant Park ( main entrance) a perfect spot to start a safari from. Very friendly host

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!

Had a very nice 2 day stay host perfect out door shower fantastic room and views beautiful next time in Addo will book again

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!

We stayed in a beetle dung cabin, which is an old something without windows, the walls are just grey, no fresh air ever gets into it (smelly), it’s cold in there and uncomfortable. We stayed two nights and we would never book it again. The service was ok. The first morning we got a packed breakfast because we went on safari early, that was on. The second morning we did not order packed lunch, but breakfast was not prepared for us. Although we had booked B&B, they said we should have told that we want breakfast. Unfortunately nobody told us so. Breakfast time was only between 8:00 and 9:00. The surrounding is quite nice, but the cabins should definitely be renovated. We were not entirely informed about times without electricity, so we could not prepare for those times, which is not a good thing with two children.

A very beautiful accommodation in the middle of the nature. A quiet, but lovely place to stay. The staff is very kind and helpfull. The service is incredible. I was backpacking on my own and didn't had my own transport. One of the managers was so kind to drive me to the national park and back. I can definately recommend this accommodation!

The facilities were exactly as advertised and made us comfortable. The dinner and breakfast was delicious. Whenever we needed something, the staff were helpful and friendly, making us comfortable on our stay at Addo Dung Beetle Guest Farm.
