Happy Jackal Guest House

Happy Jackal Guest House: The Happy Jackal offers a choice of five luxurious double en-suite rooms, all with stunning river views.

Guests may choose from ground-floor rooms with private entrances and garden patios, or impressively large and comfortable thatched upstairs rooms, one of which has its own outside thatched deck.. All rooms enjoy upmarket facilities.

Recline in the spacious, high-roofed lounge, well-stocked with a collection of interesting books. Enjoy a game of chess or a board game by the cosy open fireplace on those chilly winter evenings. The Happy Jackal has a no-smoking policy for indoors.

On fine, calm mornings take time to enjoy at leisure a full, English and health breakfast outdoors, whilst watching the antics of our resident Egyptian geese and hoopoes. Stroll with your coffee down the rolling lawns to the water’s edge and plan your day.

Delicious evening meals, packed lunches and picnic baskets will be provided on request and will always include a variety of home-grown salads and vegetables. Home-baked bread, pastries and pies; home-cured gammons; home-made preserves will often appear alongside a variety of game dishes.

Our ‘coronary menu’ is of particular interest to those with tender hearts! On request, these tempting dishes are cleverly prepared and tastefully presented. Your continuing health is our greatest concern.

Reviews:

Tamar Briggs, South Africa: 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.

Robin Roddau-Senkpiel, Germany: Super Nähe 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 .

Wanda Taylor, South Africa: The hosts, Peter and Liz, gave us a very warm welcome and their friendliness and hospitality was heartwarming. The room (especially the bed) was comfortable, clean and tastefully decorated, with a lovely view of the river. The food was delicious, not to mention the freshly baked bread by Peter! 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.
