Stellenhof Country Estate

We stayed in the self catering unit for 5 days and had a wonderfully relaxing and comfortable stay. Visits to the Addo Elephant Park a 20 minute drive away (in itself a very special experience, fantastic game sightings) every morning, followed by afternoons lazing around the immaculately kept pool in a large, well treed garden. The small restaurant on site is modest but good food and very convenient. The staff were faultless. Accommodation very comfortable. We would have liked a more substantial and comfortable lounge and furniture, and softer lighting alternatives (eg lamps) as a self catering unit. But otherwise a very good experience.

We had the most wonderful stay at Stellenhof! Two nights was not enough. The rooms, the grounds, the food and the pool were all magnificent. Best of all were Megan and the wonderful staff who made everything so easy. We did a day safari at Addo which was incredible! Thank you so much to everyone at Stellenhof. Travelling as a group of 6 - a couple, 3 kids and a grandparent

Our catering unit was very spacious and comfortable. The staff was friendly and food was nice. Would stay there again

There were power cuts (it happens) but the back up generator was broken so we had no electricity and no water (the water is electric powered by a pump). The manager couldn’t care less. No one offered us torches or checked we had water, despite the fact we were travelling with a baby. This went on for nearly 36 hours. We were offered only a meagre cold buffet on offer at breakfast due to the power outage, despite other guests having full breakfasts as they were told it was possible to cook on gas- I’m unsure why we were treated less favourably. The second day only one of our breakfast orders was delivered to the table, the other was forgotten about. We went to the restaurant for lunch- very uninspired menu and so average we didn’t venture there for dinner. The self catering apartment is not fully functional. There are beds for 4 but only a table and chairs for 2. There are no sharp knives or baking trays, as well as no outdoor bbq area. The only outdoor seating is two chairs next to where the car is parked. The price they are charging for family friendly luxury is outrageous if there is no electricity and no water with no contingency plan. Considering this is the price of 3 nights elsewhere, I would consider booking a different hotel.

Lovely property on farm. Beautiful garden. Delicious breakfast. Helpfull staff. Safe. Can go for long walk or run on the farm in the Citrus Orchards.

A very warm welcome, a nice game drive with a very experienced driver, well cooked food and nice people joining us the two days we stayed there
