The park is also home to the remainder of the "Big Five" as well as numerous other species right down to the flightless dung beetle. This humble denizen, in addition to its essential role in the local ecology, is unique to the Addo area. Accommodation Homestead B&B offers a plentiful variety of accommodation.

For cooling off after a hot day's game viewing, guests are welcome to make use of the splash pool. Guests should really take time to enjoy the peace and quiet of the lovely garden or feel free to walk around our farm which is one of the oldest citrus farms in the Sundays River Valley. The original dwelling with its four rooms (horse stable, sitting room, bedroom and kitchen) still exists. It is now a nice en-suite backpacker or self-catering room. The jacaranda and palm tree in front of the house are estimated to be 80 years old. The garden is so beautiful and relaxing that it is tempting to just sit in it and drink in the peace and quiet. The bird life here is also well worth watching. Camping Our park-like grounds have fifteen stands for camping or for caravans. There is a clean ablution block and braai (BBQ) facilities. We also have two caravans, fully equipped and available for hire, tucked away in their own little corners of the garden. Guests should really take time to enjoy the peace and quiet of the lovely garden or feel free to walk around our farm. Some of our guests have actually spent their first day here doing nothing but sitting on their patios or in the garden, reading or just drinking in the relaxing atmosphere. This is an excellent way to unwind from the stresses of city life or long-distance travelling before going off to see the sights. The bird life here is also well worth watching.
