The accommodation itself is good, the large garden is well maintained, the dinner and breakfast were good, the staff was friendly. Unfortunately, our room smelled very musty, brown water initially ran out of the tap, which didn't make a good impression.

This was a gem, large well appointed rooms set in lovely gardens and close to the Addo Game Reserve, the breakfast area outside was lovely, for dinner ate in a separate restaurant onsite, also in a lovely setting and the food was good though the wine choice: 1 white, 1 red and 1 rose was a little limited but we would come back.

We felt the on site restaurant could have offered more selection especially on starters one of which stayed the same for 3 nights and the other was a soup which did change but it wasn't exactly exciting. There are not many other restaurant choices in the area.

A little bit of heaven.

We stayed at Gerald's Gift mainly to visit the Addo Elphant Park thought there were other activities near by if you wanted them. However. Gerald's Gift itself was a little bit of Heaven. A beautiful house set in fabulous gardens way off the road behind automatic gates in developing fruit orchards. The rooms were beautiful each like little cottages in the garden. Our hosts Sue and Roger we most friendly and helpful and the breakfast was excellent. We ate 2 night running at Africanus, an hotel just a little way down the road. We loved Gerald's Gift and would thoroughly recommend it if you are visiting the area

Hervorragende Lage und sehr gutes Essen Gerald’s Gift Guest House ist die perfekte Unterkunft für einen Besuch im Addo Elephant Park. Die Lage ist optimal, um den Park bequem zu erreichen. Unser Zimmer war groß, sauber und sehr angenehm eingerichtet – ideal zum Entspannen nach einem erlebnisreichen Tag. Besonders hervorzuheben ist auch das sehr gute Restaurant. Es bietet landestypische Küche mit hervorragender Fleischqualität – absolut empfehlenswert! Auf unsere glutenfreien Wünsche wurde beim Abendessen sehr gut eingegangen. Beim Frühstück war die Auswahl an glutenfreien Möglichkeiten leider etwas eingeschränkt, sodass hier noch Verbesserungspotenzial besteht. Insgesamt hatten wir einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt und würden Gerald’s Gift Guest House für einen Besuch des Addo Elephant Parks jederzeit weiterempfehlen.

Um den Addo Elefantpark zu besuchen ist es ein wunderbares Hideaway, das zu empfehlen ist. Die Zimmer sind geräumig, etwas altmodisch, passt jedoch zum Stil des Guesthouses. Leider gab es nicht täglich neue Handtücher, aber wir haben auch nicht nachgefragt. Die Eatery ist ein sehr hübscher Platz zum Dinner und für das Frühstück. Wenn man es früh aber eilig hat wird es schwierig, da das Servieren der Eierspeisen gefühlt ewig gedauert hat. Ganz wunderbar ist der weitläufige Garten, der dazu einlädt, die Seele baumeln zu lassen. Insgesamt ein sehr schöner Ort, an dem wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt haben. Hideaway Hideaway mit einem traumhaft angelegten Garten

Guesthouse nahe Addo Park

Begrüssung war ok, aber nicht mehr. Keine Tips oder wie die Fahrt war. Bei Verabschiedung das selbe, nicht gefragt, ob alles ok war oder so. Im Restaurant, war das Essen gut, aber der Service total überfordert. Frühstück war nicht bereit, obwohl es ab 7.30 Frühstück geben sollte. Garten war sehr schön. Nächstes Mal würden wir wo anders schlafen.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Gerald's and really liked the surrounding gardens and its tranquility. Lovely and clean room and hard to imagine it once had a different purpose (the cottage front door is revealing), quite, personal parking space and just 10 minutes to Addo Elephant park. Great breakfast too and a citrus plantation to get lost in. You will definitely see all the game through very clean windows but you we suggest you experience it yourself. Recommended for sure.

Wonderful stay.

Amazing place to stay when visiting Addo Elephant Park. Very near to main gate. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and the accommodation was very comfortable. Breakfast was very good and lots of it. We very much enjoyed our stay and waking up to a clean car having spent travelling around Addos dirt tracks was a welcomed surprise. We also loved the two friendly dogs Joshua and Benson. We very much recommend a stay at this truly delightful guest house

Leuk hotel te midden van een grote citrusplantage. Zeer mooe tuin! Lekker restaurant 2 km verderop, aanrader voor sushi-liefhebbers. Elephantpark ligt op 10 km, voor de rest is hier weinig te doen.
