Lupus Den Country House

Our guesthouse, established in 2004, is situated in rural surroundings in the fertile Sundays River Valley on our 4th generation working citrus farm - in the family since 1894. We are 25 minutes away from the main entrance to the malaria-free Addo Elephant National Park, the third largest national park in South Africa after the Kruger and Kgalagadi parks. We pride ourselves in offering a warm and friendly welcome to all our guests with whom we enjoy sharing our home. Our Homestead and Garden Cottages, in the midst of orange and lemon groves, is surrounded by an extensive, beautiful and tranquil garden filled with many indigenous and exotic trees offering welcome shade on hot summer days. Green lawns, shaded pathways and a plethora of birdsong add to the pleasure of being outdoors, relaxing on loungers next to our lovely large & sparkling swimming pool. Please note: Children up to the age of two years stay for FREE!!!!
