    Can't recommend this accommodation more. Neola and Colin were both very welcoming and made us feel at home. The apartment is so comfortable and so many little things thought of. Scrabble, jigsaw were fab although we were always too tired to use...

    Neola is a great host, she is very kind and give a lot of advice about what to do in the area. Her House is close to lots of reserves. We needed to do a laundry and she offered to do it for us. Thank you Neola for being so welcoming 🙏🏼

    The place was located very close to the southern entrance of Addo Elephant Park, and was significantly cheaper than alternatives located closer to the river. Our host was also very friendly and happy to provide recommendations for where to go...

    Neola is a great host! We actually had the place next door booked, but that place seems to be no longer running! When we ended up stranded there, she immediately offered to host us. Everything was sorted out via booking.com. She has a lovely...

    Nevola ist eine Seele von Mensch!! Die Unterkunft liegt ideal zum Eingang des Addo Elephant Parks, keine 5 Minuten mit dem Auto. Der Ort ist klein, aber hat alles, was man braucht in unmittelbarer Nähe. Einen Supermarkt, in dem man proviant für...

Hi,my name is Neola and I am so happy to host you for your time of adventure!
Are you travelling around South Africa? Looking for great accommodation that is affordable and amazing? We are 2 km away from the main gate and you can get in very early! I can host 4 people now so bring your friends and family. We have an outdoor area that is great for a BBQ and a firepit to enjoy at night. Schotia safaris is a must! You will see lions, rhinos, hippos and more. You will be on an open vehicle with a personal game ranger that knows the most amazing stuff about the animals. Afternoon tea and dinner is included. Night drives are the cherry on top! Let me book you in to secure your spot. Pm me now about that!! They get booked out really fast. The ocean, the sand dunes and the elephants are waiting for you to have the best time of your life. Yes, we are just next to the Addo Elephant National Park and sometimes see wild animals from our backyard. Taste of Africa is our local restaurant just down the road and they have a fireplace and Big screen Television if you want to watch the rugby. Go out on the sand dunes to do some sandboarding if you have never tried it. It is honestly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! I sincerely hope you have an amazing time and enjoy yourselves to the brim! In health and happiness Neola xx
Hi, So lovely to meet you. I'm a Naturopath, adrenaline junkie and permaculture girl that loved people and spoiling them. I can't wait to have you stay over and let you discover the beauty of Sunday's river. I can organise a sunset cruise, sand boarding and a day out in the Addo elephant national park. If you need some time out you can book in for a massage ranging from Swedish to trigger point therapy. Rife, light and high frequency therapy is also on offer. Full body massage is R500 and a neck back and shoulders is R300. No free massages included as they falsely advertising. Trying to sort that out with the administration team. Book in now! You do not want to miss out.
The ocean, the river and the biggest sand dunes in Africa. Sand boarding is so much fun! Hiking next to the ocean was a first for me. The Addo elephant national park is the biggest attraction of them all. Kenton on sea is just down the road and a great road trip for the day to stop at local side road stalls. Roes is a great restaurant in Canon Rocks to visit with its ocean view. Stanley's at Boesmansrivier is fantastic! Just come and enjoy the splendour of the Easter Cape. This side of the world is absolutely spectacular!! Come and enjoy the holiday of a lifetime 🎉🎊🎉
