The breakfast was really good and even included fresh bread. The room was very quite and clean. There is an Eco side to it as sink water is used to water the grass. Excellent location.

Suzette is a wonderful hostess. We had an excellent breakfast both days, and the facilities were exceptional. It is so close to Addo too. I can highly recommend this guest house.

The pool is rather small. Fits only to cool down a bit. But that is no real reason to be sad.

Breakfast was excellent. The host Suzette very friendly. The Addo Tour a must have. To sit in front of the room while sun sets is awesome.

Suzette and her staff were nothing but friendly and helpful. The game drive with Gabriel was fun and entertaining and the gate to the Park was literally a minute or 2 away. The big powerful Fan in the room was our best friend. Breakfast was lovely with a fresh loaf of bread everyday. Maybe bovril or something other than 1 type of jam would be great but otherwise no complaints.

We were greeted by the housekeeper who was very pleasant and showed us to our room which opened out onto the garden overlooking the river. Bed extremely comfortable bathroom very clean with many extras. The hosts organised river boat cruise that afternoon which was lovely. Are in local restaurant for dinner. We chose the private game tour of Addo which is from the hotel with Tim who is Suzette (host) husband. After early and good breakfast we set off for our nearly 10 hour game drive. Tim was amazing so informative we learned a lot in that tour. The B & B had provided many bottles of iced water (essential as it was 35v most of the time) and also a picnic lunch. There were only 4 of us on the drive ourselves and a lovely young German couple and we all got along so well together. In the evening we went for dinner together and also met up with the hosts who were very interesting to talk to - a fabulous evening. Breakfast next morning delicious with a whole loaf of freshly baked bread per table. We had a fabulous stay and would definitely recommend Happy Jackal to anyone. Keep up the good work Suzette and Tim!

Great location on the river, opposite the Addo south gate entrance, really good breakfast with home made bread. Will be staying at this accommodation again if in the area.

Breakfast is quite late, if you go to Addo. Also there is coffee machine in the room, but no coffee capsules :(

We loved our stay! Warm welcome. Room is very clean, and interior is magnificent! Delicious breakfast.

Loadshedding is in SA for more than 3 years now. And it is not only getting worse, but will at least be there for another 3 years. So I do not understand that hotels do not provide their guests with enough alternative electricity, lamps etc. Blaming the gouvernement does not help. Invest in alternative energy!

Location just in front of the south entrance of Addo. Great breakfast. Starts at 7.00. Gate Addo opens at 7.00. Clean room, nice view on the river. Very friendly personal.

There was nothing I would change about this property.

The property is beautifully outfitted and a fantastic location to Addo Elephant Park. Suzette was very kind and helpful and has created a fantastic retreat on the property. It is very safe with gates, screens and locks. The air conditioning was a nice bonus, although the house didn't seem to get overly warm throughout the day. The swimming pool was lovely and the gardens gave plenty to look at. We had a less mobile person in our group and she was able to easily get around the property and house.

Very friendly hosts and a wonderful location for a guided day trip to Addo. We stayed three nights and went one day to Richmond and Kenton-on-Sea, wonderful beaches, one hour driving to the Eastern Cape. Breakfast is very good
