Christmas Blooms in Addo

What a treat, in the summer heat, to be surrounded by such natural Christmas decorations.

Addo, renowned to be extremely hot in summer, can be insufferably hot and humid. Chrislin's garden, maintained by David and his staff, are boasting some beautiful blooms for the silly season. Agapanthas, crysanthemums, jacaranda, bougainvillea, to name but a few, keep our tempers cool and spirits up. Now, for some chilled wine and bilton (milk and cookies!).


Perennial agapantha's, such a Christmas treat!

Aloes, still adding colour to the summer garden

Garden Hut, ideal spot to cool down after a hot summer's day.

Sparkling pool, Sunset Huts and green garden


Things to do in the area...or just relax and rejuvenate at the pool


Watch the kids from the sun loungers, bliss in the bush!

Zuid Afrika in zeven dagen

The Addo Elephant National Park is mentioned at a must-do on a holiday to South Africa, being a mere 45 minute drive from Port Elizabeth on the Garden Route. Chrislin African Lodge is mentioned as an Addo accommodation, which we are thrilled about. Not only does the Lonely Planet recommend us, but HLNBE Reis too!
