Happy Jackal

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights on our honeymoon and we had the most wonderful time! Suzette is such a lovely host and made us feel so special and welcome the entire time we were there. We were served the most wonderful breakfast in a lovely breakfast room overlooking a river which runs through the property. Our breakfast included homemade bread and jams which were to die for. The room was spacious, clean and African themed which really makes you feel like you are in the thick of Africa! Not only that, the guest house is situated less than 2 minutes from the Addo Elephant Park gate so it was the perfect place to stay for us wanting to do a self game drive. We saw a wild giraffe and deer as soon as we left the guest house and turned the corner! Thank you so much to Suzette for hosting us, providing us with so much information on the surrounding area and for just being so accommodating and wonderful. We truly had the most amazing honeymoon experience and we will 100% be back again!

Loved it We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Happy Jackal! The service was outstanding, with a special thanks to Suzette for expertly organizing our activities and ensuring everything went smoothly. The breakfast was delicious and thoughtfully prepared, and the hospitality was unmatched. The warm and welcoming atmosphere made our visit truly memorable. Highly recommend this gem of a property!

We were 8 people, 4 couples from Atlantic Canada. We stayed for 2 nights. They were very focused on giving excellent customer service. They really wanted us to have a great visit. 3 couples stayed in a cottage, and the other stayed in a king plus twin guest room. The kitchens in both units were well-equipped. We all enjoyed the full breakfast, with fruit and fruit jams from their garden, fresh baked bread, and eggs cooked as requested. Service was friendly and professional. Manager Suzette and husband Tim were exceptional. Suzette drove to pick up medication for one of our team. She loaned me a conversion plug. A sweet personality - she loves people. Tim dazzled us with a full day tour in Addo Elephant National Park, driving us through vast sections of the park. We were delighted with his commentary, excellent driving, and delightfully charming personality. We had many memorable moments. But we will always remember the 12-member elephant family with 3 babies who walked around our vehicle as dusk approached. It was a humbling and emotional interaction. The light lunch, unrushed pace, and overall experience was world-class. This is a place I would return to anytime.

Heel fijn verblijf. Hele lieve behulpzame eigenaresse. Tijdens heerlijk uiteten bij A Taste of Africa was iemand tegen onze huur auto aangereden. Ze heeft alles met de politie en verhuurbedrijf geregeld waardoor wij onze vakantie zonder zorgen konden vervolgen. Thanks again 🤗

Super nice! The rooms were very clean. Everything was more than fine! Breakfast was the best we had! The owners are super friendly and kind! Definitely recommend this stay! The woman's kindness gave me goosebumps!

My name is Sally, I came to your lovely hotel with my husband Andy, my sister in law Ygerne and Clive my brother in law, a at the end of March. We were given beautiful rooms upstairs,. Suzette was very welcoming as was the fantastic breakfast. Tim took us into Addo, I cannot tell you how fabulous the trip was, I really wanted to get close to elephants. We did get very close. I have to say that was the best day of my life. Thank you so much.
