Welcome to our humble home.
Welcome to our humble home.
Halstead is a turn of the century home and was built amongst citrus orchards about 120 years ago.
We are situated approximately 10 km from the gate of the Addo National Park and within 30 minutes of most of the activities in the area. We have lived here for the past 25 years and still enjoy the time we spend here. Although we are not permanently on site these days we have entrusted your stay with Miriam, Eric and Rasta who have been part of Halstead for 25 years.

The star attraction of the region is undoubtedly the Addo National Park, with more annual visitors than East Africa’s Serengeti National Park.
A brief history of the park
The original elephant section of the park was proclaimed in 1931, when only eleven elephants remained in the area. Today this finely tuned ecosystem is sanctuary to
over 420 elephants, 450 Cape buffalo, black rhino, a variety of antelope species, as well as the unique flightless dung beetle, found almost exclusively in Addo.
For the first time in over 100 years, lion and spotted hyena were reintroduced to the park last year. But the Addo story has only just begun. Plans to expand the 148 000 hectare Addo National Elephant Park into a 360 000 hectare “Greater Addo” park are moving forward at an exciting pace. This expansion is transforming Addo into the ultimate tourism destination.
