"Great"

10.0

Happy Jackal is very conveniently located 2 minutes from Addo Elephant Park. We were very nicely welcomed and had a wonderful room. They arranged a very pleasant promenade on a boat on the river including a walk on the dunes with a beautiful sunset and a hearty picinic, as well as a great safari in Addo with a nice and knowledgable ranger - besides the elephants … etc, we managed to witness a couple of lions hunting. We really very much enjoyed our stay.

"Homely stay"

8.0

Lovely big house with plenty of room. Comfortable beds. Braai facilities and access to wood (R40 a bag). The house is in a secure "estate", easy access if you read your info ahead of time.

There was a loud house party at the neighbours, kept us up until the early hours. The kitchen utensils are missing some essentials, like a sharp knife. Instructions for using the stove would have been useful.

We had an absolutely incredible stay at Happy Jackal! Suzette was an exceptional host—warm, welcoming, and full of great tips that really enhanced our visit. She was also wonderfully flexible, which made everything even more enjoyable. Our house was perfectly equipped, spotlessly clean, and very cozy. The cleaning team did an outstanding job, and everything we needed—like fresh towels—was thoughtfully provided. The location is the cherry on top: Addo South Gate is just a four-minute drive away! We’re already looking forward to our next visit. :)

"Herzliche Gastfreundschaft in perfekter Lage zum Addo Park"

9.0

Wir wurden von der Chefin vom ersten Moment an unglaublich herzlich und freundlich empfangen. Man fühlt sich sofort willkommen! Auch das restliche Personal war super nett. Ein Highlight war das liebevoll angerichtete Frühstück. Die Lage könnte für einen Besuch im Addo Elephant Park nicht besser sein – der Eingang (Gate Süd) ist quasi um die Ecke. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist absolut unschlagbar!

Abzug gibt es lediglich für die etwas veraltete Einrichtung. Wenn man darüber hinwegsehen kann, ist es eine wunderbare Adresse direkt am Addo Park.

Suzette hat sehr schnell geantwortet und hat uns sogar sehr kurzfristig noch zu einer Safari erster Güte verholfen. Die Unterkunft war sehr schön, sicher und erholsam. Das Frühstück inklusive Service war fantastisch. Besonders geschätzt haben wir das außergewöhnlich präsentierte und sehr schmackhafte dreigängige Abendessen von Suzette, dem man Suzettes Begeistetung für das Kochen anmerkte. Suzette gab uns hilfreiche Tipps für die Weiterfahrt und war sehr an unserem Wohlergehen interessiert. Gefallen hat uns die Nachhaltigkeit sowie die Verwendung regionaler Produkte. Eine ungewöhnliche und schöne Unterkunft direkt am Addo Nationalpark. Der beheizte Pool nach der Safari ear ein besonderes Vergnügen.
