Charming country escape

Being out in the South African countryside was never going to be a 5 star experience but Addo African Home had its charms. Great people with excellent service, beautiful grounds. The rooms were decent but could have been cleaner and more updated. They provide water and tea daily for free. The restaurant is really good with fresh and super affordable options. The organic pool is basically a pond. We had a nice stay here.

This place is amazing. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. The restaurant has great food. We had a wonderful full day tour of Addo with Alan. He went out of his way to show us animals and was very knowledgeable. We stayed in the lodge and I had a very nice room and use of kitchen. I would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back someday.

Unser absoluter Liebling als Unterkunft

Traumhafte, weitläufige, artenreiche Anlage, schick und orginell eingerichtet mit einem entspannten, fairen Ambiente und das Essen im Molololo war extremst lecker (Französischer Koch betreibt dort eine Kochschule). Von den sechs Unterkünften, die wir in SA hatten und trotz durchweg guter Erfahrungen und somit toller Konkurrenz, zweifelsohne die Nummer eins auf unser Hitliste! Jederzeit wieder mit unseren Kids! Toller Ausgangspunkt für den Addo NP (gleich um die Ecke) und den angebotenen Picknick-Korb zum Mitnehmen dorthin, können wir auch empfehlen.

African home and ADDO

Just amazing accommodation! I really don’t know, how to make this home better! 10 min to main entrance from the park, exquisit service, ao clean that you could eat from the floor... The breakfast really nice (special the healthy breakfast) and also the restaurant! Had one of the best steaks ever! We stayed in the tent and it was a real safari feeling! You will get candles and everything you need. The bathroom (one for every tent with a key so you are able to leaf your stuff in) is just ~15meter from the tent with a hot shower and everything else! Each „room“ has it’s own fridge, cutlery, plates,glases and so on in the kitchen(next to bathroom for tents)! Also a lot of sitting areas outside and a nice shared livingroom inside. Would always come back to this perfect place and can only recommend it! Ps.: yöu can book safari tours there or just go by yourself-if so: in the morning is the best time for it! Pps.:if it was raining the last days you probably will not see so much animals at Addo because they don’t use the waterholes than...but just be there at 6/6:30 and you wilö see lots!:) ) Ppps: there are no giraffs because of the fauna -just bushes no high trees Entrance fee for self driving at Addo( if you are not SA citizen) is around 600 for 2! No extra costs!

Fabulous classy individual and well run hotel. We stayed in one of the Rondveals which was great.Very near to Addo Elephant Park and they will organise a day Safari for you with Alan who was a fabulous host. The restaurant is also very special with superb home grown vegetables cooked and served to perfection! I recommend anyone to stay here

Somewhat over-priced

A very basic room and bathroom. As such, the cost is somewhat over-priced. Nevertheless, it was a clean a comfortable stay. Very few extras though: One is cautioned at check-in not to drink the tap water, yet complimentary bottled water is not provided. Coffee and tea is provided, however no cups and only powdered milk were available. Several items specified on Hotels.com, such as air-conditioning, were also lacking.

Real African experience

We loved the experience. The room was comfortable and despite them saying Wi-Fi would be intermittent we had no problems at all. All the staff were friendly and helpful. We had washing done too which was cheap. The only problem which we had was that the restaurant wasn’t open on Wednesdays. We had been driving all day so having to drive back out at night was a nuisance. Very close to Addo Elephant Park but be careful if you prebook as there are 2 entrances and the other is 1 hour away. We made that mistake. The park is tremendous though especially if you love elephants.
