About Addo Dung Beetle Guest Farm

Addo Dung Beetle Guest Farm is nestled on a mountain-top in the heart of the Sundays River Valley overlooking the beautiful Zuurberg Mountains. The five luxury chalets and three bush rustic cabins are found on a working citrus farm only 4 km away from the main gate of the Addo Elephant National Park.

Each year there is a new project to add to the luxury and comfort of your stay at Addo Dung Beetle.

The climate is hot in summer and winter is mild, with occasional snow on high lying areas. We experience summer rainfall and dry winters, but are a Malaria free area.

"Miskruier” the name of our working Citrus farm is not only just a name the owner, Mr. HHJ Potgieter, decided upon years ago when he bought the property in 1996.

He already had the idea to save this special flightless dung beetle. After developing the farm into a highly productive commercial citrus farm, exporting 14 varieties to approximately 60 countries world wide, Mr. Potgieter then decided to build five chalets with a lapa overlooking the Zuurberg Mountains.

Addo Dung Beetle Guest Farm is situated 4 km from the Main Gate of the Addo Elephant National Park on a working Citrus Farm.

The Citrus part of the Farm is approximately 350ha citrus farm with an estimated 151 000 individual trees.
