    This is the perfect place to stay if you want to visit Addo Elephant Park. The guest house provides all you need for a short or much longer stay. A Spar is literally just down the road for all your shopping needs.

    Close to the Addo Park Gate the perfect hide away. Quiet and spacious cottage. Vicky made us dinner with a fingerlicking good Malva Pudding. Perfect for visiting Addo and the Sandsys River. Plan a day longer to explore the river. Many activities...

Property information

The name Nukakamma is the Xhosa name given to the Sunday River, it refers to the banks of the river that are always lush and green, despite the arid terrain it runs through. Accommodation offered consists of three beautifully furnished bedrooms, each uniquely styled with original wooden finishing, smooth cotton linen and an authentic African appeal. One room is fully equipped for self-catering and features a kitchen, lounge, dining room and private deck with barbecue.

Neighbourhood information

Nukakamma Guest House is located in the quaint town of Colchester or as known by some, Sundays River. So named after the majestic Sundays River that flows through the town. The Sundays River can be traced back to its source in the Compassburg Mountains near Nieu-Bethesda. The small town of Colchester, situated east of Port Elizabeth, is the site where this magnificent river meets the Indian Ocean and is also the entrance to the world renowned Addo Elephant Park.
