Avoca River Cabins

 
 

Description

In the beautiful citrus and rose growing area of the Sundays River Valley, 25 minutes from the Addo Elephant Park, Dave and Judy Smith welcome you to their farm. Avoca, which means ' The meeting of the waters '. Ideal for nature lovers and bird watchers.

Luxury fully-equipped chalets along the river. Sleeps two to five people. Four thatch and mud huts with two hot shower/toilets and a fully-equipped ' Lapa ' (Kitchen) alongside the river where there is an abundance of fish and birdlife. Plenty of scenic walks through the citrus orchards, and canoeing on the river , which is inclusive of the price.

A path leads down from the lush garden to a small bush camp overlooking the river where two wooden cabins nestle in a sheltered clearing. We now have a new chalet on this site.

They share a hot shower/toilet and a fully equipped 'Lapa'. The camp leads out onto a deck that looks out over the river and mountains. A great place for sundowners.

We also have access to a private game lodge at R1320 per person per day, which includes dinner, drinks and breakfast and a night and morning game drive. The wildlife includes Lions, Rhinos, Hippos, Giraffes and several Antelope

Although our rates are per unit on the site we do welcome singles and couples to enquire about better options. Our self-catering units are not serviced, except by prior arrangement. Units not being serviced, except by arrangement.

Thank you all for yet another great time. The children really enjoyed the canoes and play areas, and we of course enjoyed everything at Avaco. Thanks again Judy, Dave and Riaan. Hope to see you all again soon.

We liked our stay. The cottage is big, clean and comfortable, although the chairs on the balcony could be replaced with some more comfortable ones. A very quiet and beautiful place.

We had a great stay here. We had our own room over looking the river, peaceful and beautiful. Comfy, clean rooms and easy to find. The staff were great, they even made us a packed lunch as we had a long drive the next day! Thank you for a lovely stay.
