"Perfect location to start a safari on your own or with the Happy Jackal team into the Addo park."

9.0

Happy Jackal is the ideal starting point for a tour on the river or to Addo (2 minutes). Suzette is very caring. She recommended a good route through Addo where we saw all the animals except for lions and leopards (Maybe we didn't look hard enough.). There is a supermarket and a small restaurant 4 minutes away. The house is large, with very comfortable beds and well equipped. But we didn't really use the kitchen etc. but enjoyed the delicious breakfast from Suzanne and her staff overlooking the river before we started to Addo.

WiFi was not very stable.

"Really good option for anyone visiting Addo Elephant Park"

10.0

The breakfast was really good and even included fresh bread. The room was very quite and clean. There is an Eco side to it as sink water is used to water the grass. Excellent location.

Suzette is a wonderful hostess. We had an excellent breakfast both days, and the facilities were exceptional. It is so close to Addo too. I can highly recommend this guest house.

9.0

Breakfast was excellent. The host Suzette very friendly. The Addo Tour a must have. To sit in front of the room while sun sets is awesome.

The pool is rather small. Fits only to cool down a bit. But that is no real reason to be sad.

"A pleasant 1 night stopover. Comfortable beds and good food."

7.0

We had an evening meal and breakfast. Both were adequate and pleasant. The location is close to the Addo National park which makes it good value for an overnight stop before entering the park.

Unfortunately the toilet had a leak and flooded the bathroom floor.

"Exceptional"

10.0

Suzette and her staff were nothing but friendly and helpful. The game drive with Gabriel was fun and entertaining and the gate to the Park was literally a minute or 2 away. The big powerful Fan in the room was our best friend. Breakfast was lovely with a fresh loaf of bread everyday. Maybe bovril or something other than 1 type of jam would be great but otherwise no complaints.
