Our cottages are safely nestled in the garden, where many indigenous shrubs and trees have been planted. Mornings are filled with varied birdsongs from the more than 60 species that we have seen on the farm.

The cottages are designed to have a low energy demand. The thatched roofs are a delight to sleep under, and yet they retain heat in winter, and stay cool in summer. The solar water heaters make use of the hot African sun, and provide you with a relaxing shower after a long day having fun in Addo.

To minimise our impact on the environment even more, we provide guests with a toilet soaps and shampoos that are mild on the body, and free of harmful chemicals. Our linen is all washed in these ‘green’ products, which are effective cleaners, but rapidly and safely biodegradable.

We grow and source as much food locally as what we can. Breakfasts are substantial, and include organic home baked bread, orange juice and preserves. If you need a late breakfast after an early morning game drive, that’s fine by us.

Pick a fresh organic lemon to add flavour to your food.
