"Liz gave us a very warm welcome like we were old friends. Our room was spacious, light and fresh and the setting is beautiful, peaceful with a lovely swimming pool that we swam in and relaxed around.

Breakfast was like no other we've had with an introduction to other guests, greeted with homemade bread by Peter and jams by Liz. A perfect strqrt to our day in Addo National Park which is literally around the corner.

The perfect location to relax in with a view of the river after a long day in the park.

Will definitely be back on my next visit. "

"Super NŠhe zum Addo Elephant NP, aber etwas einsam gelegen. Duftende Rosen aus dem eigenen Garten.

Super close to the Addo Elephant NP , but somewhat isolated location . Fragrant roses from the garden ."

They also kindly took my husband's diabetes into account when serving our breakfast. We would not hesitate to go back there for another break."

"Fantastic. Rooms amaazing food fantastic esp home made sausages. pity the weather wasnt better. Liz and Allen made us feel home from home - told us about many places to visit. Best was Grunters - best steak in SA ! Definitely would return for longer."

"We enjoyed our stay, this is the definitive place to stay for anyone who wants to enjoy Addo. Friendly host, excelent breakfast!"

"Lovely house, excellent breakfast and very helpful owners "

"Very comfortable, great hosts, recommendable, great supper"

"Very good place to stay for Addo and Scochia (half day each is perfect). The Happy Jackal has enormous rooms with good views although the town was not good for places to eat. "

"Happy Jackal is a beautiful guest house with exceptional accommodation. The welcome we received from Peter & Liz was second to none and we would not hesitate to stay there again as we plan on visiting South Africa again in the not to distant future."

"The sunset, the bridge the wildlife makes this the ideal spot , add to that the rooms, breakfast , Liz and Peter and you got a magic recipe for your holiday"

Very peaceful and beautifully taken care off!

Breakfast was incredible too with the beautiful view on the garden.

Thank you Liz and Peter you're both very good hosts."

"Very good. We even got help to wash our car after a few days in Addo."

"Great! Will definitely recommend Happy Jackal. Lovely, friendly hosts that took care of all our needs. Child friendly accommodation. Great breakfast every morning - will always remember freshly baked bread on table. Thank you Liz and Peter!"

" Wished we could have stayed longer!! Excellent hosts with great home cooked food."

"It's an exquisite place to come and stay."

"I don't normally do 'fantastic', but Happy Jackal warrants it.

A marvellous building and location and the owner, Liz, was extremely friendly and entertaining. Food also very good. No adverse comments at all. We would definitely return for a longer stay to the Happy Jackal."

" Every facet of Happy Jackal exceeded our expectations. This is a lovely establishment with a personal touch. The daily breakfast is prepared individually with care and great taste. This is a highly recommendable venue, in fact the best on our trip. Thanks for a great stay."

"I would highly recommend this accommodation."

"For the third time we visit this guesthouse and just as the previous times it was very good.

"For the third time we visit this guesthouse and just as the previous times it was very good. Clean rooms, lovely personal, great owners, perfect drives in the Addo Elephant park with a very big plus for Shaun, he knows a lot about nature and takes time for the guests. The drive is comfortable with maximum 6 passengers in a new and silent open car. When we come back, we will take this guesthouse once more...."

"We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. The place is in a peaceful environment and we could relax. The chalet was comfortable, nicely decorated and clean.
Definitely recommendable to anyone."

"The atmosphere was lovely, the breakfast was excellent and the kitchen was well equipped with everything you need for when you might have lunch or dinner. The owners was friendly and interacted with us very well. We were happy with our stay."

"A luxurious stay 2 kilometres away from the Addo park. The guesthouse is immaculately kept. Breakfast is an event with great views. Thoroughly spoilt and well looked after."

"Beautiful rooms, stunning river view, and a stone throw from Addo Park. Best breakfast in the world: Fresh fruit salad (from their own garden), homemade bread and jam, and a host and hostess that make makes you feel like you are visiting a favorite uncle and aunt. Loved our stay!"

"We booked Happy Jackal for three nights as we wanted to explore Addo National Park. It was an excellent choice as it is very close to the park. Zanette was very helpful and advised us on suitable safari tours. We are so glad we took her advice. Etta from Dung Beetle Tours and Christo from Schotia Safaris certainly lived up to her recommendations.
Our two bedroom cottage was very comfortable. We had secure car parking and we would certainly recommend Happy Jackal to anyone wanting to explore this area."

"Thanks for everything! Hope to be back :-)
Kind regards from Belgium
"

"We had a very nice and comfortable stay at Happy Jackal. Our cottage had everything we expected and more. Kids had a great time and the owners are very friendly. The Addo Elephant park south gate is only 2 km away from our accommodation.
Thanks Sunette and Peter.
"

"I had a good stay at Happy Jackal. It was clean and comfortable. It had everything I needed. I will recommend them to others."

"Would just like to thank Liz and her husband for their friendliness and for really making us feel special. We really enjoyed the stay and felt at home"

"Liz and Peter are warm and friendly hosts, and their homemade bread and jams at breakfast delightful. The situation on the banks of the Sunday river added to making our stay in their first class guest house pleasant and relaxed, and convenient for entering Addo Elephant Park. "

"Great location for Addo Elephant Park and easy to find. Beautiful rooms and furnishings and a real home from home. "

"Peter and Liz are warm, helpful and lovely owners of Happy Jackal. Our cottage was nice and spacy. Because of winter time it was very cold, but we had a gas-heater in the living room. Together with some extra blankets we succesfully fought the cold. When my nephew came to stay for 2 nights, no problems were made. Another bunk bed was added and everybody was happy at the Happy Jackal!! Stunning sunset views, beautifully situated and very nearby the south entrance of Addo park."

"A great place to stay if you are going to Addo. Very spacious room and good friendly service."

"Due to our travel plans, unfortunately we only stayed one night with The Happy Jackal Guesthouse. We were a family of three and were located in a separate Cottage. This cottage was well set-up for a longer stay with good kitchen facilities, lounge and bedrooms. Upon arrival, we received a pleasant and friendly reception, with good local facilities information. Our hosts were very pleasant, and provided an excellent breakfast in the morning. We would recommend a stay at the "Happy Jackal Guesthouse"."

"We had a very pleasant stay with excellent accommodation in spacy, clean and comfortable rooms. The service was very good and personal and we received all help asked for. Breakfast was on the top list. Indeed very good value for the money spent."

It is a beautiful house overlooking the river, the room was big and clean, the bathroom was fine. Each room has its own little terrace, which was very nice.
Lis and Peter were great hosts and provided us with a splendid breakfast, one day in the dining room and the other on the terrace. We had fresh home baked bread every day, and Lis even made pancakes for us. There is an excellent restaurant just around the corner.

"The welcome was warm and friendly, the ensuite room was comfortable and well appointed and the open lounge was well stocked with books and most inviting and relaxed. The breakfast was really superb, the setting was great and we had a most memorable stay - would highly recommend."

Near the entrance of the Addo park!
Liz& Peter are very friendly and most helpful!"

"Stayed at the Jackal once we exited the Southern gate of Addo. A very well priced establishment with friendly service from Liz and her husband. Great breakfast, but no muffins."

"We really enjoyed our stay at Happy Jackal Guest House and we can not praise the hospitality and comfort enough. We would have no problem recommending Happy Jackal Guest House."

"We had a very happy stay at the Happy Jackal. We had friends staying at Elephant Footprints next door. Comparing the two was difficult because they each have their own unique things about them. I do feel that Happy Jackal is lucky to have the Lodge next door to cater for dinners for their clients. When arriving in a place like Colchester one needs somewhere for dinner and I think they work well together in this regard. All in all we had a wonderful evening. Liz and Peter's hospitality was great - they are lovely people. Will definitely stay there again."

"The Happy Jackal is aptly named for the jolly mood its hosts exude. Peter and Liz retired to this beautiful spot on the Sundays River where they built the house that is now the Happy Jackal. The house, thatched and sturdy, has an atmosphere of the African bush fused with the English countryside. Its furniture has many local touches but the scrambled eggs, the homemade marmalade and the tea at breakfast come straight from England along with the accents of the hosts. The lovely riverside situation of the guesthouse is excellent, not only for the glorious sunrise and sunset skies reflected in the water, but also for its peace and proximity to the southern gate of the Addo Elephant Park two kilometres away. The beds, laden with percale linen are a literal dream and the hot baths in the two upper bedrooms a treat after a day of dusty game viewing in the bush. All in all if I was out hunting, I'd be a very happy jackal to land in this establishment. "

"This is a very friendly and helpful B&B located on the banks of the Sundays River not far from the coast. It is well placed for easy access from the main trunk road, but peaceful as not on any through road. Very good value for money.

"This is a very friendly and helpful B&B located on the banks of the Sundays River not far from the coast. It is well placed for easy access from the main trunk road, but peaceful as not on any through road. Very good value for money.

The owners are willing and able to provide booking services for local game parks and advise on journey times, local area info, and eating places. It is next door to a larger B&B that also provides dinners if you do not wish to go out to eat in the evening.
Being on the river bank there are many birds to be seen and several pairs of binoculars are available, as well as many wildlife reference books.

The breakfasts are, in all senses of the word, 'full', with plenty of choice and fresh homemade bread.

Recommended if you are thinking of visiting Addo, Schotia etc game parks."

No attention to detail was spared we even had adaptor plugs in the room.
We thought Happy Jackal was the best B&B we stayed in during out 17 days in SA."

There are plenty of things to do, including game drives, horseriding and canoeing. The village of Colchester is very nearby, and the pub staff and locals were very pleasant as well."

Our room was comfortable, water was hot, service was excellent - real hands-on touch from the hosts. The information provided on arrival was comprehensive. It is a place you can relax, kick your shoes off and do your own thing in the area. If you are passing through, it's a great no-fuss stop over. For busy city people, just gazing at the river and listening to the many birds was highly therapeutic. Thumbs up for the hosts."

"We stay there for two days and everything was so fine!
We will recommand it to our friends.

Thank you for the beautiful and lovely stay!"

"We were very happy with our stay at Happy Jackal. The location, close to the N3 and Addo Elephant Park entrance on the bank of Sundays River, was ideal. The rooms were bright and comfortable, the breakfasts excellent, and recommended dinners at nearby restaurants were delicious. A tastefully furnished common area with a roaring fire on cool evenings rounded off perfect days. But best of all was the hostess, Liz, who was welcoming, delightfully witty and entertaining, and who could not have done more to make our stay more enjoyable. Even our car was washed when we went to leave."

"Great place, very nice host and warm atmosphere. Good place to explore Addo and the Dunefields."

"I doubt you'd find better accommodation at 4 times the price. Friendly hosts with an amazingly tranquil guesthouse.

"I doubt you'd find better accommodation at 4 times the price. Friendly hosts with an amazingly tranquil guesthouse. The small things always seem to matter most and the Happy Jackal had all the bases covered. I'd recommend the Happy Jackal to anyone keen to explore the area between Port Elizabeth and Port Alfred, as well as any prospective visitors to the Addo Elephant Park. Being as close as the Happy Jackal is to both the Sunday's River and the ocean certainly gives it an edge over similar establishments in and around Addo."
