We chose the accommodation because of the wonderful photos and were looking forward to the luxury accommodation described. There was no luxury, the complex has not been renovated for a long time, everything made a somewhat run-down impression. Transparent plastic tablecloths instead of beautiful tablecloths and candles, a swimming pool far too small for swimming and a whirlpool right next to the restaurant's dining tables. Far too expensive for that. But the worst thing was the disappointment...

We spend two nights at the Dung Beetle Guest Farm. It is situated conveniently just outside the main gate to the Addo National Park. The cottages are spacious and there were plenty of things to keep us warm. The food was genuine home cooking, very tasty. Donald our guide into the park was excellent. We will certainly stay there again.

The dung beetle unit was a lovely surprise. Our children (5 and 11) were thrilled and wanted to stay longer. Quality crockery, basics like water, tea, coffee, milk, sugar, and super clean unit was a treat! Our host, Henry, was great from the pre-visit up until the end of our stay. The kitchen staff were also very kind and we felt well looked after. We will surely return (but for longer next time)!

I participated in the Addo Ultra Run last weekend. Registration was at nearby Hayterdale Trail Campsite. What a perfect place to stay a night before as we have to be at the campsite super-early on Saturday. Even better I met fellow runners staying there and we shared stories and experience. Felt like the whole hotel occupied by runners! Perfect stay, good dinner and breakfast and another lovely African hospitality. Smooth check-in (pre-payment made via ***********). Special mention to the reception Manager and David and the kitchen team for entertaining my request for packed-breakfast and the modified menu for subsequent dinner & breakfast meals. The balcony view as well as Lapa upper deck view of the surrounding citrus farm and Addo National Park as far as Zuurberg Mountain (I guess) are amazing. Early morning birds and dozens of bird nests on the tree (some with little chicks) added to the atmosphere. And the pool by the pond and jacuzzi looked so inviting but couldn’t get a chance to dip in. In short, two-night stay wasn’t enough. Will back for this and more. Love from Malaysia! Shaari
