Reviewer Type: Family With Children

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: The hosts are such nice and friendly people! We could do the fantastic Addo Tour with Tim and Suzette and spent practically the whole day together. We even tried the plant "spekbuam" and liked them! Right at the beginning of our Gardenroute-trip, Suzette and Tim gave us also a lot of valuable information about SA and made us feel at home. What a great experience!

Summary: Ideal location for Addo Park
