My family and I stayed at Dung Beetle Guest Farm at the start of our holiday from the UK. The location close to Port Elizabeth and Addo Game Reserve was really handy. The farm itself is set in beautiful gardens/countryside and provides a really unique experience a million miles away from everyday life! The team were very friendly and always willing to help including a surprise cleaning of our car on the morning of leaving. Would definitely stay again!

A real bush experience
Our family of 6 enjoyed everything. Our bush cabins were in the middle of the bush and the outdoor shower was a special for us. You needed water to be hot )(as it's not summer yet), and it was. Perfect place from where to do day trips to Addo Elephant park, it's not far to the main gate.

All about the elephants
The team at the Addo Dung Beetle Guest Farm could not have been more helpful in offering advice and arranging activities for our stay. The National Park is amazing, well worth a visit and just a stone's throw from the farm

Lovely room and bathroom, we particularly enjoyed the outdoor shower. The road to the area where the property is based is very poor, not the owner’s fault but you need to drive very carefully, especially in the dark.

Gorgeous chalet, amazing view and wonderful hosts!
We stayed in a luxury chalet and it was gorgeous! We really appreciated the attention to detail and loved the refreshing outdoor (but still secluded) shower! The view from our veranda was stunning and we spent some time watching weaver birds build their nests in the tree next to the chalet. We enjoyed drinks on the sundowner deck, and an amazing meal. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful, and provided us with useful information for our ongoing trip. Not only is this a fabulous place to stay, but it is very close the main gate of Addo Elephant Park.
