We stayed for one night and was taken super good care of the crew working here. Place is very clean and tidy. Food great and service level fantastic. Did the morning safari tour with them which also was great.
If you goin to addo park, you come to the right place :)
The property and gardens were all beautifully kept, and dinner was delicious. It is a bit out of the way if you're not there to explore the Addo National Elephant Park.

Relaxing, Beautiful & Peaceful
Room was beautiful, bed was great along with all the help. Breakfast and Dinner were wonderful and romantic. Safari with Igna was informative and fun - saw lots of animals. Met very nice people which made our stay more memorable !! Pool was delightful.
We booked this place online as somewhere to base ourselves to explore Addo and surrounding area and the pictures don’t do it justice. From the moment we drove up the lemon grove drive I knew I’d made a good choice. An oasis of calm after a hectic drive down the garden route, two ponds frame your entrance whilst weaver bird nests hang from surrounding trees. A beautiful setting near the Sundays River where the reception and restaurant look out to the welcoming swimming pool. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. My small family and I all felt our stay there was particularly special.
Arrived late in the evening and was greeted by a very warm welcome by the lady at the reception. Really appreciated how they make arrangements for us to have dinner too. Great place and strongly recommended. Breakfast and dinner were both wonderful.
Fantastic hotel with the most wonderful staff - highly recommend- we loved our stay!

oasis in addo
outstanding location with great / modern room - book your dinner in advance. Definitely recommend a stay here! I did my tour to the Addo with criscross adventures - also highly recommend
We had a wonderful time. It is a beautiful unique property. Fantastic breakfast. The staff was very pleasant. I would strongly recommend staying there!!!!!!!!!!
De Old Drift Guest Farm is a wonderful place to stay. We stayed for three nights in a self catering unit but ate at the restaurant as well. The food wasv excellent. It is about 25 minutes drive to Addo National Park. We took a game drive with Lindo in the farms safari vehicle. Very informative and worthwhile. One h
Night we went on one of the parks night drives. We got within 30 feet of two male lions amazing
There are other restaurants locally if you want a change of scene. We went to Addo Wildlife which was great, and a neat place for kids
Informed would arrive late, called them but no answer. Had to wait outside the gate till another guest arrived and opened the gate and waited in car park till someone saw us and gave a room key.
Bathroom is a hazard, sheets not clean, worst part was no heating as the AC would not heat and we froze and could not sleep at night. AVOIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!
Many other better options in the area.
We stayed in the very spacious well-appointed two bedroomed air conditioned thatched cottage which had very good outside space including its own braii and garden with views. Ideally located for visiting the parks. We only stayed one night and wish it had been longer.
Charming guest farm with a service. Breakfast and dinner were prepared by professionals. Relaxing location out of the main road. If you are looking for relaxation rather than pretentious service like Hilton or Kempinski this is the place.
My mother and I stayed two nights in a self-catering cottage. Very comfortable and clean and a lovely location to return to after an afternoon driving around nearby Addo Elephant N.P. The owners' three resident canines are the sweetest-natured, most well behaved fellows! They were so cute the way they'd come for a walk with us down to the river, or quietly sit outside the door in the morning waiting for a "good morning" pat! This was one of the best places we stayed in our trip around South Africa!
