Only five minutes from the main gate to the reserve. It has a nice bar – a great place to meet other travellers. Everyone was friendly.

Anna Reitz, South Africa:We very much enjoyed our brief stay at the Aardvark in December 2014. Our hosts were very welcoming and helpful – they even brought out big chalks for our grand-daughters to draw on the paved path on our last day! Charming and interesting décor.

Reviews:

James Wright, South Africa: Spent a night on our way from Jhb to the Garden route. They are conveniently just off the main road. Our room was self catering and slept 4 on single beds in an open bedroom/ living room. The building is old and in need of some Tlc, but was clean and was all we needed. It was freezing cold and the bathroom is a long way from the beds which aren’t very comfortable. If you are on a tight budget and aren’t looking for luxury this could be an ideal base to explore Addo.
Gail Surendorff: We really enjoyed our experience at Sandflats. The hosts were friendly and gave us information on places to visit in the area as well as for the rest of our trip. It is definitely a great place to stay when wanting to visit Addo Elephant Park. Winters cottage is the perfect family place as there is room for the children to get rid of their endless amounts of energy. Thank you Sandflats for making our holiday memorable.
Nicolene Hamman, South Africa: We stayed in Winters Cottage. It was almost to big for our family of five. It is an old house and we don’t see many houses like this anymore. The owners are very friendly.
Henriëtte Loubser, South Africa: Thank you for a wonderful time at Sandflats. The Winter Cottage was perfect for us.We enjoyed ourselves very much!

Zuurberg-Inn

Long a preferred Sunday lunch destination of Port Elizabethans looking for a day in the country, the Zuurberg Inn is still a staple and much loved accommodation destination.

As a child we used to leave directly from Church for Sunday Buffet Lunch at the Zuurberg Inn, in my late Father’s pride and joy – his white Mercedes S Class. The mere fact that he was prepared to drive on a gravel road up the mountain for Sunday Lunch imprinted on my mind just how precious a place this was. My father never rode on any other gravel road but that one to the Zuurberg Inn.

My childlike mind would survey the vast quantities of food available and say; “One day I will be big and return to try and eat my way through as much food as possible”. Afterwards we would lie on the grass overlooking Addo and soak up the sun before returning to the ‘big city’ of Port Elizabeth.

Winter weekends at the Zuurberg Inn were always special – roaring fires, sherry, rib sticking real food and good times ….
