Our newly renovated jetty to come and moor your boat on catch a fish (you must have a fishing license), or watch the beautiful different species of birds from our bird hide on the jetty.
If you want to spend time at the beach, you drive 5 minutes from us, pay the entrance fee at Pearson Park Resort, drive along Sundays River while looking at some of the highest sand dunes (sand boarding popular from there) and go for a walk on a private beach with stretches of open sand and beauty.

3 guests' feedbackNice place, safe, clean and excellent location for visits to Addo. Can definitely recommend it. Friendly staff.
Suzette and Tim are very friendly. Kitchen staff and ladies who serve meals could be more friendly. Breakfast pleasant, but dinner not worth the price at all. Attention can be given to maintenance. Witch hinges and clips are rusted and falling apart. One of two patio chairs broken. No alternative for when power goes out. We went to buy our own light and candle. Blind in bathroom broken. Safety is not sufficient, especially during power outages.
The place was very clean and well-equipped. All our needs were met. The only downside was lack of provision for lights during loadshedding. A lamp would have salvaged the situation or a reminder prior check in to bring our own lamp. The host was exceptional - very welcoming. She was prompt to respond to queries and requests for assistance. She made our stay such a pleasure! Very professional indeed.
