The accommodation itself is good, the large garden is well maintained, the dinner and breakfast were good, the staff was friendly. Unfortunately, our room smelled very musty, brown water initially ran out of the tap, which didn't make a good impression.

This was a gem, large well appointed rooms set in lovely gardens and close to the Addo Game Reserve, the breakfast area outside was lovely, for dinner ate in a separate restaurant onsite, also in a lovely setting and the food was good though the wine choice: 1 white, 1 red and 1 rose was a little limited but we would come back.

We felt the on site restaurant could have offered more selection especially on starters one of which stayed the same for 3 nights and the other was a soup which did change but it wasn't exactly exciting. There are not many other restaurant choices in the area.

A little bit of heaven.

We stayed at Gerald's Gift mainly to visit the Addo Elphant Park thought there were other activities near by if you wanted them. However. Gerald's Gift itself was a little bit of Heaven. A beautiful house set in fabulous gardens way off the road behind automatic gates in developing fruit orchards. The rooms were beautiful each like little cottages in the garden. Our hosts Sue and Roger we most friendly and helpful and the breakfast was excellent. We ate 2 night running at Africanus, an hotel just a little way down the road. We loved Gerald's Gift and would thoroughly recommend it if you are visiting the area

Begrüssung war ok, aber nicht mehr. Keine Tips oder wie die Fahrt war. Bei Verabschiedung das selbe, nicht gefragt, ob alles ok war oder so. Im Restaurant, war das Essen gut, aber der Service total überfordert. Frühstück war nicht bereit, obwohl es ab 7.30 Frühstück geben sollte. Garten war sehr schön. Nächstes Mal würden wir wo anders schlafen.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Gerald's and really liked the surrounding gardens and its tranquility. Lovely and clean room and hard to imagine it once had a different purpose (the cottage front door is revealing), quite, personal parking space and just 10 minutes to Addo Elephant park. Great breakfast too and a citrus plantation to get lost in. You will definitely see all the game through very clean windows but you we suggest you experience it yourself. Recommended for sure.

Wonderful stay.

Amazing place to stay when visiting Addo Elephant Park. Very near to main gate. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and the accommodation was very comfortable. Breakfast was very good and lots of it. We very much enjoyed our stay and waking up to a clean car having spent travelling around Addos dirt tracks was a welcomed surprise. We also loved the two friendly dogs Joshua and Benson. We very much recommend a stay at this truly delightful guest house

One Night Stay

Arrived here after a 250km drive and found the place very easily. We had a warm welcome from Sue and check in was quick and efficient. Sue showed us round the garden, breakfast area, guest lounge and then to our room. She also checked up on two restaurants for us because we wanted to eat early which was very helpful. The room was large with plenty of space for our luggage. The bed was a Queen (width of two singles) and very comfortable with soft linens. The shower and sink area were behind the bedroom area and separated by a low wall but the toilet was off to the side behind a door. The shower was spacious with very good flow and plenty of hot water. Towels were large and soft. Nice smelling toiletries. The room had a tea/coffee station, air conditioning and good WiFi. Everywhere was clean. We ate early at a restaurant and returned to enjoy complementary sherry, swimming pool and beautiful garden. Breakfast was taken outside with continental selection and hot food cooked to order which was delicious. Geralds Gift is a beautiful place with warm and friendly hosts and our only regret is not staying for longer. Will return.

Hier kann man sich sehr wohlfühlen

Hier kann man sich sehr wohlfühlen. Die Gartenanlage mit Pool ist wunderschön. Das Frühstück ist top und man wird allgemein sehr gut bewirtet. Die Lage ist auch für einen Besuch in Addo Elephant Part optimal. Man hat uns freundlicherweise auf Anfrage eine ganztägige Safari in Addo und Schotia vorab gebucht. Es gibt auch ein gutes Restaurant in der Nähe. Die Zimmer sind schön, geräumig und komfortabel, wenn auch mit einigen Besonderheiten versehen (vor allem, dass das Badezimmer bzw. das Klo keine Tür hat!). Unser erstes Zimmer roch ziemlich penetrant nach Benzin, was höchstwahrscheinlich auf den danebenliegenden Anbau für Gartengeräte mit Rasenmäher zurückzuführen war. Man hat uns aber aufgrund unserer Beschwerde ein anderes Zimmer angeboten.
