My grandson really wanted to go camping. This is the reason for our visit.
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.

Beautiful rondavel getaway.
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.

Sleep was nice but the rest not recommendable.
The 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.

Dear Eddie,
Thank you for your review and for staying with us at our Green Escape! We are indeed sorry for the service of your room not being done but as you may remember upon arrival, I had mentioned that the key had just broken in the door. We do have a spare to which we had then given to you for your use. Being a Friday afternoon, it was impossible to get a new key for the housekeepers to have. You had left early the next morning and arrived late at night hence we could not get into your room for a service. If you had reported the shower to us, we would have certainly attended to it immediately. Once again, thank you for staying with us.
Best wishes,
Candice

Mors van geld. Nie geskik vir gestremdes nie. Swak geleë op 'n besige roete.

Waste of money. Not suitable for the disabled. Poorly located on a busy route.
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.

Very nice stay.
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.

It was lovely to spend two nights there.
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.

Nice experience to sleep in rondavel or tent, natural pool wonderful.
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.

Liewe Charles,
Dankie vir die resensie. Ons is bly om te hoor dat u die verblyf geniet het, ons kon sien dat u kinders die swembad terdeë geniet het. Omdat dit 'n natuurlike swembad is, sal daar natuurlik klein paddatjies wees omdat hulle deel uitmaak van die natuur, maar ons verwyder hulle sodra ons hulle sien.
Ons restaurant is ook 'n kookskool, so ons het studente van Kaapstad wat opleiding ontvang van ons Franse Sjef. Partykeer lyk dit as of hulle op en af loop maar hulle moet ook observeer. Ek is jammer as u nie heeltemal verstaan het nie, volgende keer as u kom besoek sal ek met graagte aan u alles omtrent Addo African Home en die restaurant verduidelik sodat u dit kan geniet wat ons hier aanbied.
Ons hoop om u weer in die toekoms te kan akkommoddeer.
Vriendelike groete,

Exceeded our wildest expectations.
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.

Beste Koos,
Dankie vir u resensie, dit was aangenaam om u by Addo African Home te verwelkom.
Ons is regtig jammer oor die pad en die geraas maar ongelukkig is dit iets wat ons nie kan verander nie en dit is nie te alle tye so raserig nie. Die veiligheid van ons gaste is een van ons hoofprioriteite. Daarom het ons elke dag sekuriteitswagte op die perseel asook 'n heining om die perseel.
Voel asseblief vry om ons te laat weet of daar iets is wat ons beter kan doen met betrekking tot veiligheid.
