Colchester Accommodation / Happy Jackal Guest House Greater Addo Accommodation / Guest House Accommodation in Colchester

The Happy Jackal Guest House lies on the banks of the beautiful Sundays River, and only 2 km away from the Southern entrance of the Addo Elephant National Park.

Easily reached from the N2, Happy Jackal Guest House is in the perfect spot for game, river or coastal activities. Extensive lawns stretch down to the riverside while unspoilt, natural bush is the habitat of kudu on the opposite banks. Port Elizabeth and its airport is only half an hour away and in the opposite direction, the historic, university town of Grahamstown would take the traveler a mere 45 minutes. The Happy Jackal is therefore in the perfect position for a wealth of day trips.
