De Old Drift B&B | Addo Elephant Park Bed & Breakfast Accommodation
River Front Estate →
De Old Drift offers bed and breakfast and self-catering accommodation on a small working citrus farm, located a short distance from the renowned Addo Elephant National Park. The farm offers a peaceful retreat where guests will find a perfect mix of warm Eastern Cape hospitality, picturesque gardens, delicious home-made meals and uniquely decorated and comfortable rooms.
Accommodation at De Old Drift ranges from comfortable and spacious bed and breakfast suites to family units and well equipped self-catering cottages. All rooms have air-conditioners, flat-screen TVs with selected DStv channels, free Wi-Fi access, and private verandahs, where guests can enjoy the spectacular views of the mountains, gardens and citrus orchards.
The lapa is open during the day for lunch and or dinner in the evening, please ask for the menu upon checking in. Guests can enjoy a delicious wholesome breakfast served in the thatched lapa overlooking the swimming pool area, or delight in South African braai flavours combined with warm home-made bread and scrumptious salads; followed by De Old Drift after-dinner liqueur under the stars.
Guests have the option to explore the farm trails down to the Sundays River accompanied by one of the canine companions, or hop on a guided tour to Addo Elephant Park or the neighbouring game reserves to view the gentle giants of Addo. There are also guided tours in the Addo Park on an open top vehicle, on request. Addo is a wonderful destination for game viewing, hiking, bird watching and simply appreciating the natural surrounds of the bushveld and farm life in the area.
Alternatively, guests could just laze around at the swimming pool with a crisp glass of wine and a good book from the book-swop library.

Ideale verblyf naby die Addo-olifantpark met als wat jy benodig. Die mense wat daar werk is wonderlik en mens voel baie welkom. Enigste nadeel is die eenheid was ongelooflik koud. Kry geen son nie en ons kind het siek geraak so wou nie die lugversorging vir hitte gebruik het nie. Ek sou muur-verwarmers voorstel.
Idyllic and special! Can’t wait to return.
Personeel behulpsaam, regte plaas-atmosfeer, gemaklike verblyf. Al nadeel: Ons het een aand aandete in die restaurant genuttig en dit was vir die prys glad nie op standaard nie.
Heerlik gebly by De Old Drift. Self-catering eenheid met die buitebraai is perfek vir die omgewing. Baie rustig en ontspanne.
Lieflike gronde met pragtige tuine. Veilig, skoon en netjies. Lekker speelplek vir kinders. Goeie kos op die perseel.
Ons het lekker geslaap en gekuier!
Dit was ons 25ste huweliksherdenking gewees en wat ‘n heerlike manier om dit te vier op hierdie pragtige plaas. Diens, kos en binneversiering was ‘n fees vir die oog. Baie dankie vir julle gasvryheid!
Ons het aanvanklik vir twee aande bespreek en toe nog ‘n ekstra nag gebly. Baie vriendelike en hulpvaardige ontvangs. Die Garden Cottage waarin ons gebly het is baie, baie modern, asook uiters skoon en netjies. Die tuine is goed versorg en baie mooi. Ideale en baie rustige verblyf op ‘n werkende sitrus plaas baie naby aan Addo Olifant Park asook ander plekke en dinge om te gaan sien en doen. Sal dit hoogs aanbeveel vir ander en self ook weer hier bly wanneer ek weer in die omgewing is. Daar is ‘n restaurant op die perseel, maar ons het verkies om elke aand te braai .
Dit was ‘n baie lekker ervaring. Puik, vriendelike diens en personeel.
Erg vriendelijke mensen, alles netjes verzorgd en schoon. Prijs kwalietijd verhouding is prima.
So rustig en baie lekker gebly.
Lieflike geriewe, pragtige kamers, oulikste verwelkoming deur Phumba en Timone (hondekinders) en die beste ontbyt in ‘n lang tyd (piesangbrood gebruik vir French Toast – njammies). Kan De Old Drift B&B aanbeveel vir almal wat die Addo Olifant Park wil besoek.
Really a very nice stay, excellent accommodation. Owner very accommodating in all respects.
Uiters gasvrye ontvangs met bekostigbare en baie netjiese slaapfasiliteite. Professionele sjef berei smaaklike etes voor.
Baie lekker en goed geleë. Rapsie te duur vir waarde.
Juanita laat ‘n mens dadelik tuis voel op die plaas! Alles was lekker skoon en netjies.
Verblyf in pragtige omgewing, maar daar was vlermuise in die kamer wat in die nag rondvlieg en slaap onmoontlik gemaak het.
18 km van die hoofingang van Addo Olifantpark. Verblyf sluit nie middag- en aandetes in nie, maar daar is ‘n paar restaurante in die omgewing wat aanbeveel kan word.
Meer stilte en beter persoonlike diens as wat jy kan verwag van the akkommodasie in die Addo Park, en die kos is uitstekend.
De Old Drift Guest Farm is ideaal vir oornag. Die mense was baie aangenaam.
It’s a great location. Very nice owners. Very clean. Beautiful garden on the farm. Super swimming pool with lot of facilities.
