this was a last minute booking, found in the lonely planet, and an excellent find, from the minute we arrived we were met by Margaret, who made us feel so welcome and could not do enough to ensure that we had amaxing time staying at this location. For the African experince this is one of the best staying in the... More

We stayed at Chrislin for three nights in December at the beginning of our South Africa trip. We loved our whole experience: our mud hut was quite large, airy and comfortable, and we loved being in the middle of the orange grove. We dined at Sneezewoods two evenings, and both meals were delicious; Elvis is an excellent chef who loves... More

We spent 3 nights at Chrislin. The hotel is really nice and located in a very quiet area 15 minutes away from Addo National Park. The food provided was very tasty and diversified. We stayed in a Orchard hut, though it is quite cute, our fridge was not properly clean and we had quite a few bugs especially the first... More

We stayed for 2 nights here which was enough to see Addo and what it had to offer. Unfortunately the weather wasn't good when we were there so we didn't use the pool or take advantage of the lovely gardens which would be great for relaxing in. There ate covered areas for relaxing in too with sofas and deckchairs and... More

Staff where very friendly! Bernadine from Chrislin sorted all the safari tours for us when we arrived and food from the kitchen was great! Mud huts were awesome and very comfortable. Only gripe I have is that they no Internet access for guests!

We stayed at Chrislin for two nights and would recommend it to anyone. Linda (the owner) met us when we arrived and was so friendly. She made sure we were comfortable and knew the lay out. The huts are well equipped and comfortable. Dinner at Sneezewoods takes the format of a buffet at least for some of the courses. It... More

This is a very special place to stay, mud huts situated in an orange grove or garden setting. Beautiful setting. A great experience, but don't worry, the huts are big, well equipped and furnished to hotel standard! Great place to stay for Addo and Schotia reserves. Lin and her team are brilliant. They are very friendly, helpful and go out... More

In March 2011 we stayed for one night in Chrislin B&B. It really is a great place to stay: a beautiful surrounding with citrus farms in a very short distance of Addo National Park. The huts are traditional on the outside and nice and cosy on the inside, meeting travellers' modern day expectations. The huts are nicely decorated and very... More

For the many years I have dreamed and planned going to Africa, my imagination had drawn pictures and landscapes that were all deleted by the quiet bliss of Chislin - a piece of private heaven. I was so...bitterly sorry we stayed one night only, i felt like lazing around the lemon tree orchard for at least forever.... We also did... More

enjoyed the staff at chrislin and the spa staff. the rooms were interesting and gave a nice african feel without a ridiculous price tag. found the location good for touring addo park. only suggestion would be to increase breakfast options as eggs get very dull after several days and the rooms would be greatly improved if they had a small...
