Excellent & knowledgeable service and just a 45 min drive from Addo Elephant National Park. Room basic but good breakfast does the job with free wi-fi for people just looking for somewhere to rest. Would definitely recommend to others.

Very friendly and helpful, they even brought us a free wine/beer whilst enjoying the pool. But for the price the tents are sturdy but facilities are quite poor and cleanliness around the outdoor kitchen area is not great.

Local knowledge blended with worldliness - a wonderful base to get to know the area and it's attractions first hand. The location is away from the hustle, yet close to Port Elizabeth to enjoy all that the city... More

We were looking for somewhere to spend the night before visiting Addo Elephant Park - and found far more than we were expecting in Magnolia's warm welcome, beautiful gardens, comfortable safari dome tents and the communal kitchen and bathroom. What impressed us further, was their attitude towards children; not just lipservice, but half price for kids under twelve and the... More

The first time we chose this place because it is conveniently situated near Addo Elephant Park. The small guesthouse is nice and charming, but the warm hospitality of our hosts exceeded our expectations. They took us out... More
