Addo African Home

Lovely friendly welcome and we really enjoyed our characterful room which had a real safari lodge feel to it. Restaurant was good and we liked the breakfast. We didn’t have much time to try the natural pool but honestly we didn’t find it very inviting. TIP: if you’re driving to Addo follow the directions that the guesthouse helpfully provides, rather than your satnav.

Expect professional, friendly service, an inviting pool & garden and authentic accommodation. Breakfast is an affair with fabulous, freshly baked croissants! Perfect location to use as a base for visiting Addo National Park. Ideal for travellers and nature lovers.

We had a great time in this very nice oasis. A wonderful paradise place with great restaurant, very nice natural pool and a great program for a day-safari. We found new French friends and spent a day with elephants and lions.

very nice african rondavels , comfortable lobby, eco pool with cleaning by plants with many birds and dragonflies, a wonderful restaurant run by african and french students with an own garden, many elephants in the Addo Game Reserve- 15 min drive

The reception was friendly. The showed the facilities. You may use coffee and tea during the day. With fresh baked cookies. The room was clean but Some things needs to be repaired. Like the ‘ frontdoor ‘ The restaurant en staff was nice.

We recently stayed as a family at the Addo African home in two of the standard Rondawels. Overall it was a very enjoyable stay but it’s not perfect. The staff are amazing, happy, friendly and willing to assist with anything. The restaurant is great with a decent menu albeit not with a huge choice. Breakfast was generally pretty good. The rooms are ok but you would call them characterful, maybe a little basic when you compare with a good hotel but that’s the point isn’t it. You should not expect 5 star luxury and all the fixtures and fittings that go along with that. Little *******:, Quite a lot of roll together in the bed. The nightly fight with the mosquito nets, which look great and I’m sure do what they are supposed to but getting in and out of bed without disturbing them is close to impossible. The only electric power in the room comes via a 4 way extension lead. Understandable but in these days of multiple devices needing to be charged can be a problem. One thing we thought quite strange was that African Home is an eco lodge and there are lots of signs about saving water and yet the sinks have no plugs. Turn on the tap and watch the water go straight down the drain. The grounds are well maintained and the other buildings, lounge arena and pool are all very nice. It has to be said though that a natural pool is not going to be everyone’s taste. There are free coffee / teas but don’t expect a wide selection and the coffee machine is quite temperamental. African Home is a really well located establishment for anyone visiting the elephant park. Even better they run both half and full day safaris that start at the hotel and will also help you to identify other activities at other game reserves close by and book them for you.

We only stayed one night but everything was perfect. Accueil was friendly, very clean. We live in France and are used to French cuisine, must admit the food was excellent ! We arrived too late and missed the elephant safari but that was our fault. Would highly recommande

Delightful situation with very good accommodation. We stayed for two nights in one of the rondo houses which was very cute and had everything we needed including air conditioning. We ate both nights at the restaurant on site, Molo Lolo where the food was good. Staff were friendly and helpful. We swam in the natural pool which was lovely and warm but I didn’t want to put my head under the water! Very close to Addo Elephant Park so great for easy access and we went three times!

Our stay was magnificent. The room was a very nice roundhouse in a great garden. Breakfast is a delight and also diner is very good. They support young people to learn at Addo restaurant which is very nice.
