Mike and Nita were great hosts. Mike helped us shape our plans which turned out perfect - half day in Addo, half day/evening at Scotias, stop over at Cheetah breeding centre. Their working citrus farm is a great experience. The Labrador pups were fun too. We had a room with the outside shower where you literally shower under the stars... more

We booked Happy Lands based on Trip Adviisor reviews and were not disappointed. It isn't the easiest place to find and is farther away from Addo Elephant Park than we would have liked, but the welcome from Mike and Nita makes up for all that.

This was my first stay in South Africa. And happy lands was the first accommodation there. Mike and Nita welcomed my friend and me with great warmth and hospitality.

The welcome and lovely home made lemonade were both very refreshing. I had lots of email contact with Mike before we left from UK so it was nice to meet... more

Just returned from a wonderful trip to South Africa and stayed three nights with Mike and Nita. Even before we left home Mike was so helpful via e-mail with the many questions we had. We had the garden room and enjoyed beautiful meals on their verandah where it was fun to meet other guests. Truly a great place to stay... more
