Great location close to the Addo Park, nice and well-appointed chalet, excellent service, but unfortunately the ceiling void of our room was infested with bats that prevented us from getting sleep for the two nights that we were there. We raised it with the staff who confirmed that it was a known issue, which raises serious questions.

My family and I stayed at Dung Beetle Guest Farm at the start of our holiday from the UK. The location close to Port Elizabeth and Addo Game Reserve was really handy. The farm itself is set in beautiful gardens/countryside and provides a really unique experience a million miles away from everyday life! The team were very friendly and always willing to help including a surprise cleaning of our car on the morning of leaving. Would definitely stay again!

A real bush experience

Our family of 6 enjoyed everything. Our bush cabins were in the middle of the bush and the outdoor shower was a special for us. You needed water to be hot )(as it's not summer yet), and it was. Perfect place from where to do day trips to Addo Elephant park, it's not far to the main gate.

All about the elephants

The team at the Addo Dung Beetle Guest Farm could not have been more helpful in offering advice and arranging activities for our stay. The National Park is amazing, well worth a visit and just a stone's throw from the farm

Lovely room and bathroom, we particularly enjoyed the outdoor shower. The road to the area where the property is based is very poor, not the owner’s fault but you need to drive very carefully, especially in the dark.
