59 guests' feedbackThe accommodation was very good and ideal for an overnight stay. I do have one complaint that they never cleaned our room. When I asked one of the cleaners the next morning, she said they didn't have a spare key for our rondavel and we hadn't turned in our key so they could use it. In the meantime, there were 2 open roundabouts where they could move us. We hung one of the towels outside and didn't get one again the next morning. So, the experience was not very nice. The shower head also sprays in all directions except downwards. The floors are soaking wet.
Despite a message you sent to the institution that my wife is partially disabled and has great difficulty moving, the message was simply ignored. Arriving at the place in the dark, we had to determine that the roundabout involved a long walk on uneven ground. The roundabout also had a step that was high which made access very difficult for my wife. The rondaveltjie is damn small, probably acceptable for the price. No microwave or TV. The floor is only painted with enamel paint and the bed racks/cabinets consist of a wooden log with a piece of bent tin. The place is also located on a busy access route to a nearby township with workers being transported by large noisy buses from early morning (05:30) until late at night (22:00). It feels like you are sleeping inside a freeway. There are poor roads in the area which make access in the dark dangerous. Spend your R1400 elsewhere. This is a waste of money.
Upon our arrival we were received very kindly. We were escorted to our room, and shown around the premises. I requested for barbecue, barbecue plus basket full of barbecue supplies was brought to our unit. We swam very well, slept and had the most delicious breakfast.
Very nice accommodation. Clean. The owners only go for the best. Restaurant looks amazing, natural pool with the most beautiful birds to watch. Upon arrival we received a welcome drink (out of 8 accommodations, this was the only one in South Africa that offered us this).
We had a lovely visit at Addo African Home. All I would improve is the hanging space for towels, we were a family of four, but there is only hanging space for 1 towel. The restaurant is priced quite high for a family meal, but the food was delicious.
Nice place with friendly people, very clean, good food. Ecological concept, they are doing well!
Staff was very friendly and peaceful setting.
These people went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible. We wanted to barbecue one night. They provided us with a braai, grill and wood. Even for us comes deck next to our rondavel. Friendliest staff. We went to eat at their restaurant one night. Food was great.
The manager/owner Mr. Klaassen was very friendly and helpful. No problems with the accommodation, but the place was further from Addo park than we expected and we would have liked to park closer to the rondavel. But on the whole, it was a good night's sleep.
Hostess was very friendly but unsure of reservation and had to call cleaner in a hurry to get rondavel ready.
A fantastic place to spend a few days close to Addo. Friendly service, attention to detail, high-quality finishing, and to top it all, an excellent French restaurant. Highly recommended! Hoogs aanbeveel!
Just go, it's a bucket list experience.
Good stay with very friendly host and staff.
Customer service is so rare these days. But then you go and stay at the Addo African Home, Restaurant and Safari and your faith in the service industry is restored. I felt looked after. The confirmation call on my day of arrival to the service I received as we leaving, assisting me bookings to my destination. The dinner at the restaurant was great and on par with the 5 restaurants I had been to in Cape Town and Johannesburg. Again the service was nothing but top class. I will definitely return and highly recommend to any traveling to Addo.
When we arrived shortly before midnight on the 31 December 2020 we were tired and hungry. The midnight snack they prepared for us was the most delicious a new year gift that we will never forget. The room is immaculately clean. The outdoors are an epitome of the true African character. Staff is equally friendly and all of them radiate unquestionable customer care.
Great getaway! Friendly staff and delicious food! Superb service all around!
Rondavel spacious, neat, clean. Logging close to Addo Elephant Park.
Calm, still after a hard day's work.
Very quiet and peaceful with very good service and friendly staff who make a lot of effort for their guests.
Would definitely recommend people to visit there.
This place is not in the Addo Elephant Park as indicated on the website and it has no self-catering facilities.
Quiet and beautiful garden. Felt safe and friendly staff. Didn't miss the absence of a TV. Just be careful not to step on the very small frogs. They were plentiful. Thanks enjoyed it there.
Very friendly hosts, beautiful rondawels and gardens with a lovely natural pool. We had a good stay. Pitty it is situated so close to the township, music and noise through the night. Vegetable garden is so pretty laid out but neglected. Some TLC needed in the gardens. Otherwise very upmarket and enjoyable. Lovely restaurant with freshly made well presented food.
The entire resort and gardens and gardens are stylishly designed. The service and food was superb. Highly recommend!
The food was very expensive in the restaurant, and not many options to choose from! Vegetables were tasteless! Just after 6 o'clock on a Sunday morning, they cut branches with a chainsaw! And one morning we had no water to shower at all, just after the power went out!
Loved the atmosphere and the friendly staff.
Definitely a place to stay the night. Tent accommodation was a winner. Everything was clean and tidy. Our foreign guests were extremely impressed with the type of accommodation. Food from the restaurant was heavenly. Thank you very much.
Always a fantastic place.
Good overnight stay after day in Addo.
Reception was very good. Rooms and tent very comfortable and clean. Restaurant is very cute and food very enjoyable. We always enjoy visiting here.
We weren't quite sure what to expect from Addo African Home (formerly Die Aardvark). We were pleasantly surprised. We had an en suite room in what is called The House.(There are also rondawels and glamping tents.) It was clean and comfortable with good storage space. There is also a comfortable communal lounge and well-equipped kitchen and one has one's own bar fridge - a thoughtful touch. The staff generally were friendly and helpful, especially the breakfast room, security and maintenance staff. Be warned: the restaurant is (in our opinion) over-priced for nouvelle cuisine portions!.
Lovely accommodation. Outside showers were fabulous.
A good stay and good service and the safari was very well organised to see a lot of game especially the elephants at close range! Game rangers where excellent. The lunch time braai was very tasty, only needed a few snacks while waiting for meat to cook, but most enjoyable food and drinks a plenty on a hot day!
Neat room. Use of communal kitchen was good. Restaurant also recommended. Breakfast was very nice. Friendly staff.
The location of the accommodation was very nice, not far to travel to the Elephant Park. Nice and quiet - like living on a farm.
Very nice and very impressive, though the grass could have been cut, between the ablution/kitchen and tents.
We had a very enjoyable stay, all staff are very accommodating and friendly. Safe guards patrolling all day and a beautiful setting.
We enjoyed the very spacious tent and private family bathroom. The kitchen facility was spacious with everything we needed. Children enjoyed the natural swimming pool a lot. Pity about the road noise in the early morning, but otherwise great stay.
Arrive late at night. Great night security service, warm cozy bed, and delicious breakfast!
We slept in a tent, it's spacious and convenient. The kitchen and bathroom are a few steps from the tent and they're well and neatly equipped. Staff are friendly and helpful. Our only problem was the traffic noise early in the morning.
Kids found this swimming pool to be the best of our holiday, big, yes tadpoles, but lovely temperature. Sort of a smurf town with round houses, nice experience. I expected the location to be something more tropical, more in the bush or something, but that's not the case. Minibar available. Unfortunately, no water for showering until 2 times in the morning, shower did look very nice. New Year's dinner was disappointing, but that's personal. A number of students walk around if they want to. Kunnen/zijn didn't say but. Snappen hasn't quite got it yet.
Positive experience: The personal attention of the lady who does the management at Addo African Home (if I remember correctly she has been there for 10 to 15 years) was top class. She arranged for a braai outside the rondavel where we stayed with a table and two chairs (we only got there before 9 on Saturday after the rugby in PE). The breakfast the next morning was very tasty and very well presented. Negative experience: Shower water that smells like sewage. Had trouble in the beginning talking to someone at the Addo African Home (AAH) to make specific arrangements. The contact number for AAH is for people who live in Cape Town and have never been to AAH and this makes it difficult to make arrangements with the staff at AAH with your specific personal requirements.
Go to the restaurant! The food is excellent!
Very clean and friendly service. Very good value for money.
Nice tent accommodation with own bathroom.
Mooie afstand tot Addo Park. Heel erg vriendelijke medewerkers. Fijne kamers en een goed geregelde gezamenlijke keuken!
Reception was excellent.
We slept in a rondavel and that was a nice experience. Everything was immaculately clean and present, even for both of them one bathrobe with slippers. Delicious breakfast on the terrace outside. Located less than 10 minutes drive from Addo Elephant National Park.
Slept in the tent, it is very spacious, shower and toilet in the building, excellent and very clean. Friendly staff, nice restaurants in the area. Top accommodation.
Our family slept in tents, lovely experience and clean and tidy, despite cold weather, welcome was warm and so was sleeping experience. Close to Addo Elephant Park. People are aware of things to do in the area and we liked having a private fridge and washing facilities despite having a "commune" kitchen.
Was delicious. Everyone was very friendly and service was brilliant.
Very nice people, good service.
We hebben in een safaritent geslapen, een leuke ervaring! Niet alle ritsen werkten goed maar het was gewoon leuk en gezellig. Alle faciliteiten in het gezamenlijk gebouw waren ruim beschikbaar.
Very nice people. Good accommodation. Beautiful tents. Well, a lot of street noise in the distance.
Staff friendly and helpful. Staff use facilities, kitchen, TV with guests. If you are not a cat person, not the place for you.
If you like a hostel setup with small rooms and a shared kitchen, living room and dining room, with guests who hang out and make noise until late at night and the others who start cooking and talking again from 5 o'clock in the morning, then the place for you! It's not for me though.
Neat chalet and breakfast very delicious. Too close to the noise of the neighbourhood and unsafe. Cars speed by to neighbourhood.
I had a room with no windows - it had a glass door, but you can't sleep with the door open! Th restaurant was fantastic though.
