This B&B in the heart of the Addo Valley offers romantic accommodation on a working citrus farm. The surrounding garden has a swimming pool, and all rooms come with free WiFi.

The rooms at Happy Lands are decorated with natural and white wood, mosquito nets and soft fabrics. Each offers a private bathroom with a shower.

Nita and Mike were the most wonderful hosts, like the grandparents you ever dreamt of - so full of warmth and love. Even though we stayed for just one night, we almost felt part of their family. We also loved their super nice dogs (and cats) and the marvellous, park-like property. We stayed in the immaculate Midknight cottage, which was not only comfortable and well-appointed but also rich in history. The farm is close to Addo Elephant Park and a number of restaurants, for which Nita and Mike provided helpful recommendations. Altogether a wonderful experience!

    Nice big rooms in a quiet setting. Delicious breakfast and very friendly staff and owners. We did have a lot of mosquitoes and a bat in the first room. Next morning we switched to the room next door which was much better. Mosquito nets could help with a good night sleep. Location to Addo is great and Keith helped us find a guide to join our car.

    The location was stunning. We loved all the animals that live in the estate. The staff was exceptionally friendly and also really helped us with all our questions regarding our visit to the Addo Park. We also had breakfast and dinner at the location which I would highly recommend. The vegetarian option we took was very good. We also did a giraffe game drive at the lodge which was awesome. We got very close to the giraffes which was magical.
