Homestead Bed and Breakfast

Addo, in South Africas malaria-free Eastern Cape, is renowned for the Addo Elephant National Park. Only minutes away lies Homestead B&B in a lush, oasis-like garden, offering a variety of accommodation from bed and breakfast, self catering, caravan and camping to backpackers. Homestead B&B is very convenient for the major attractions of the area. The prime attraction is, of course, the Addo Elephant National Park.

This large and rapidly growing park which will ultimately also include a marine reserve, is home to the thriving herd of Addo elephants. This herd is a sub-specie of the African elephant.The park is also home to the remainder of the Big Five as well as numerous other species right down to the flightless dung beetle. This humble denizen, in addition to its essential role in the local ecology, is unique to the Addo area.

Guests should really take time to enjoy the peace and quiet of the lovely garden or feel free to walk around our farm which is one of the oldest citrus farms in the Sundays River Valley. The original dwelling with its four rooms (horse stable, sitting room, bedroom and kitchen) still exists. It is now a nice en-suite backpacker or self-catering room. The jacaranda and palm tree in front of the house are estimated to be 80 years old. The garden is so beautiful and relaxing that it is tempting to just sit in it and drink in the peace and quiet. The bird life here is also well worth watching.
