Petro & Basie
The unit is set in a tranquil environment with a real holiday feel to it. A Beautiful fully furnished with all you need.
We have been working (Making Biltong believe or not) and staying in the area for 25 years and are passionate about Swartkops and our local community and environment.
We are situated on bank of the beautiful Swartkops river just 20 minutes from city center Addo Elephant park and Coega harbor. With all major shopping complexes just a short drive on the N2 We have safe undercover parking in a secure complex with a cctv just giving you that extra piece of mind.
