🌿 Pure nature & adventure

Your accommodation – in the middle of the wilderness

Whether as a family, as a couple or with friends – our accommodations are lovingly designed: simple but comfortable – and above all, surrounded by nature.

Here, you'll wake up with a view of the South African bush—and sometimes even spot a zebra right by the fence. Some accommodations have separate master bedrooms and several children's rooms, so everyone has their own private retreat. Ideal for adventurers of all ages.

Adventures right on our farm

Our farm is a huge adventure playground for the whole family.

Whether it's pony rides, feeding animals, or climbing rocks – with us, every day becomes a little adventure. And the best part: everything's right on your doorstep.

What our guests say

“A true nature experience for young and old!”

"Our children were able to feed the animals, ride ponies, and even help with mucking out – they loved it! In the evenings, we sat around the campfire, and in the morning, zebras roamed the grounds. A lot of real life, no animation – exactly what we were looking for."

Sandra, Germany

March 2025

“Adventure & relaxation in perfect balance”
"We were there with two families – from the wild nature to the animals right outside the terrace, everything was a highlight. The children were constantly outside, and the adults could finally breathe a little."

Jörg L., Germany

February 2025

“Our daughter only went to the petting zoo”
"A lovingly run place with heart—especially for children! Our little one spent the whole day playing with the goats, rabbits, and chickens. The hostess had great tips for excursions and helped with everything."

Melanie K., Germany

January 2025

“Fantastic location overlooking Addo Park”
"The terrace is huge, the view unforgettable. And with a bit of luck, an elephant might even walk by. Campfires in the evening, animals during the day – real Africa, but family-friendly and comfortable."

Ethan & Maya, UK

April 2024

“Truly sustainable & family-friendly”
"We've rarely experienced such a welcoming stay. The self-catering concept is impressive, especially the fresh eggs and vegetables from the garden! Ideal for families who want to truly experience nature."

Laura B., Netherlands

May 2024

“Pure nature, pure relaxation”
"No hotel complex, no hustle and bustle—just us, nature, and a friendly team. What was especially nice was that the children entertained themselves, and we parents finally had some time for each other."
