What a place to stay! Due to the true hospitality of Priscilla we had a wonderful stay in Lupus Den Country House. We have rarely seen such a dedication in making our stay as comfortable as possible. Priscilla and Noel thank you so much!

The Lupus Den was a lovely and pleasant surprise in so many aspects. This guesthouse really made a very deep impression, far more than we would expect of, what we thought was going to be "just a nice place to stay when going for a trip to watch elephants". In retrospect I understand that, although very beautiful animals, the elephants... More

We stayed at Lupus Den for one night only but wish it could have been longer! Location of Lupus Den is wonderful for visiting Addo Elephant Park. Pricilla is a lovely lady, super host and fabulous cook, couldn't have made us more welcome. We stayed in the main house in a very comfortable room, Priscilla showed us around the garden... More

We stayed here for two nights while visiting Addo Elephant Park. We had one of the garden rooms which was massive and very tastefully decorated with a huge bathroom. The bed was extremely comfortable and very large! Priscilla is a great host and her cooking is lovely. Candlelit dinners were a highlight and breakfast was superb. I thoroughly recommend this...

Lupus Den is situated on a citrus farm approximately 20min drive from the Addo main gate. The accommodation is situated in an exceptional setting with your front door leading into a well established garden with trees as old and high as the hills, flowing into the citrus orchard. It was a pleasure getting to know the owners and found Priscilla... More

We have visited SA 5 times and could say without contradiction this is the best place we have stayed. It is very homely, tranquil and friendly. Priscilla's culinary skills would put many expensive restaurants to shame, over a 4 night stay we enjoyed great food, wine and company, what more could you ask for? An excellent location to visit Addo... More

Stayed for one night only. A very quiet and relaxing place but still close to the Addo Elephant National Park. Enjoyed the large pool the outdoor shower. Had a fantastic sleep in the huge bed (Kingfisher suite) after an excellent dinner prepared by Priscilla. A guesthouse to recommend and to come back again. Jutta & Erich V, Germany

I was here together with my boyfriend last January for two nights and we had a great time. We arrived a bit too late, but the lovely Priscilla even served our marvellous dinner at 21 pm. Lupus Den is lovely situated, really in the middle of nowhere. Priscilla and her husband are very warm and friendly and can tell you... More
