Description

The Happy Jackal offers a choice of five luxurious double en-suite rooms, all with stunning river views.

Guests may choose from ground-floor rooms with private entrances and garden patios, or impressively large and comfortable thatched upstairs rooms, one of which has its own outside thatched deck.. All rooms enjoy upmarket facilities.

Recline in the spacious, high-roofed lounge, well-stocked with a collection of interesting books. Enjoy a game of chess or a board game by the cosy open fireplace on those chilly winter evenings. The Happy Jackal has a no-smoking policy for indoors.

On fine, calm mornings take time to enjoy at leisure a full, English and health breakfast outdoors, whilst watching the antics of our resident Egyptian geese and hoopoes. Stroll with your coffee down the rolling lawns to the water’s edge and plan your day.

Delicious evening meals, packed lunches and picnic baskets will be provided on request and will always include a variety of home-grown salads and vegetables. Home-baked bread, pastries and pies; home-cured gammons; home-made preserves will often appear alongside a variety of game dishes.

Our ‘coronary menu’ is of particular interest to those with tender hearts! On request, these tempting dishes are cleverly prepared and tastefully presented. Your continuing health is our greatest concern.

The perfect stay
Jack Gillissen, Netherlands
31 December 2011
This is a very lovely house with very large, beautifully furnished rooms with balconies and views of the river and the dunes. Liz and Peter are wonderful hosts and Liz is a very good cook! We appreciated their advice on the private game drive in Addo. Breakfast was very good with freshly baked bread every morning. Perfect place to stay and to return to. We highly recommend this beautiful house.

Lovely house, with very large, beautiful furnished rooms with balcony and view on the river and the dunes. Liz and Peter are wonderful hosts and Liz is a very good cook. We appreciated their advice to make a private game drive in Addo N.P. Breakfast was very good with freshly baked bread every morning. Perfect place to stay and to return to. We highly suggest this beautiful house.
