This farm is located close to addo np, but you have to take a bumpy road, so it does take you quiet a while to get there. Not easy. When you book this place, you should know that the guest farm has 2 types of facilities. First of all, the luxury lodges. Secondly, the bush cabins. Unfortunately, we booked a... More

We enjoyed the very comfortable and well appointed chalet and particularly the outdoor shower. Sitting on the verandah, you have lovely views over the farm. We had booked dinner in advance. The communal area where meals are served is cozy and comfortable. Dinner was South African Potjiekos, a venison stew slowly cooked in the traditional three legged pot, with all... More

My husband and I were really looking forward to our overnight stay. It is situated very close to Addo National Park. However when we arrived the owner asked 'what time and where we wanted dinner'. We had assumed from the web site dinner would be on site. At no point was an email sent asking us to 'book dinner' on... More

We have stayed at the Addo dung beetle many times and we love the friendly service and great cottages. The food in the evening is first class and we will returning again in March together with our family in December 2012.

We stayed 2 nights and between us had 3 chalets. The chalets were incredible : tastefully furnished and loads of character with extensively used local wood and artwork, large comfortable beds, and the outdoor shower was perfect for a wake up at 5.00am! We enjoyed a braii on night one with other guests and on night 2, drove to a... More

Addo Dung Beetle was amazing!!!! Great service and great rooms. We stayed in the bush cabins, which really were about 100metres into the bush, so very private and a great experience. The cabins are basic, just a bed in a hut, however the huts have amazing outdoor fireplaces to sit around at night and enjoy a few drinks with friends.... More

Lovely setting for our bush lodge. fully-equipped kitched and delightful outdoor toilet and shower. Made use of the jacuzzi and very basic gym. The walk from car to accommodation is long, avoid when raining!

I cannot praise Rod and Magna enough, they were charming, welcoming, caring and nothing was too much trouble. Rod’s game drive was fun and informative – he... More
