3-night stay to visit Addo Elephant Park
Posted 13 Jun 2024 on HotelsMy family and I had a very comfortable 3-night stay at Happy Lands and visited Addo Elephant Park each day. On arrival, we were welcomed by the lovely host family to a very peaceful setting. The cottage patio looks onto beautiful gardens with mature trees. My husband wasn’t able to join us on this holiday, and we’ve already decided that we’d love to visit again to show him the farm.

Beautiful garden setting located on an operating Citrus farm. The owners are kind and welcoming and treated us like family. Our unit had a small kitchenette and a room attached with two twin beds for the kids. Fully equipped with everything we needed. The breakfast was delicious with homemade Jams and honey from the farm. We truly enjoyed our time here. It was also a great location in proximity to Addo Elephant National Park. We highly recommend a stay here

Our stay at Happy Lands was amazing! Nita and her family are great hosts, we were welcomed warmly. The rooms are lovely and spaceous and they take good care of the whole place. The breakfast is amazing as well, with home made marmelades and honey of the farm. Definitely recommendable!

Pros: Very clean and comfortable. Organic fruit and breakfast was excellent. Great conversation with the hosts and other travelers.
Location: The property is located a few kilometers from Addo Elephant National Park, but is close to the small community of Kirkwood that has a nice grocery/ATM
Anybody else who has travelled with kids though South Africa knows that booking family-sized accommodations that are safe, clean and affordable can be a challenge. Our stay at Happy Lands B&B was a welcome sanctuary on our route. Mike and Nita were wonderful hosts, and went out of their way to make this our best stay of our 3 week trip. Both of my kids said they would like to return here when they get a chance to return to the country. This was our family's first experience at a true B&B, and we hope future experiences will be as good as this. The rooms were very clean/comfortable and included the little things (such as a fridge, coffee and purified water) that make a stay just a little less stressful. The breakfast was excellent including fresh fruits from the farm and made to order eggs. The marmalade was so good, that my daughter made it her mission to make it all the way back home with a jar riding in her backpack. Thank you Mike and Nita for being such great hosts and we hope to visit again in the future!
