About

Standing in the early morning mist on the grassy banks of the glistening Sundays River, Happy Jackal gazes across the water at the natural beauty of unspoilt bush. Catch glimpses of the browsing kudu and Goliath Herons as you sip your morning tea.

Being only a kilometre or two from the southern gate (Matyholweni) of the Addo Elephant Park makes game viewing an easy choice, or take a boat ride down to the river mouth… a paradise of sun, sand and sea.

Beautiful rooms and self catering units to choose from, a solar heated swimming pool, lapa and open braai for the hot days.
Private jetty to moor your boat. Fishing is good, so bring along your permits.

Dinners available on request well in advance.
