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. AccommodationThe guest house offers a choice of 5 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 roofed deck. All beds are of the highest quality and dressed with percale linen and goose down duvets. Each room has satellite TV, ceiling fans, safe, bar fridge (stocked), hairdryer, hospitality tray and complimentary soaps. The rooms are serviced daily. Rooms 1, 2, 3: Double ground-floor rooms, river-front view, queen size or twin beds, sliding door to patio and river bank, en-suite bathroom with large shower. Room 4: Luxury first floor room with stunning river view. Spacious, thatched roof, en-suite bathroom with tub and shower. Extra length, king-size beds, mosquito nets, day bed (can be used for a child). This is a really huge room. Room 5: Luxury, thatched, first floor room with stunning river views.

CuisineBreakfasts cater to all tastes and include both English and Health breakfast with a continental breakfast available as an option.
