What do people say about Hopefield Country House

“Very nice accommodation in a quiet area. Clean rooms with good quality linen. Large green garden and pool to relax. We even saw monkeys running around. Close to Addo. Staff friendly. Very good breakfast set up with a tasty breakfast. Rooms are large. Air-con for summer and heater for winter.” – Arlene TripAdvisor.

“We have previously stayed here 2 years ago and chose to stay again very last minute on an urgent trip to the Kirkwood area. We booked at 5.00pm and arrived at 7.00pm and was warmly greeted at the front reception and shown to our room. Which was large clean and had everything we needed, even when my husband messed up the safe instructions the front desk staff member came to our room to fix it even though it was late. The log fire burning in the reception is always a wonderful welcome and the breakfast by the fire in the morning is wonderful. Even the lovely workers who were cleaning the windows of our car as we came out in the morning after a cold chilly night in the area was a lovely touch. Highly recommend this property.” – Tara TripAdvisor.

“Even if we arrived late evening, we were welcomed kindly and got an amazing three-course menu served! So if you think about staying in Hopefield, definitely book yourself in for the dinner! The huge room and bathroom is well equipped and clean! The entire property is very tidy and you have a nice view of the pool area and the nature! The accommodation is just around 10km from the Addo Elephant Park, so it’s the perfect location for a day trip to the park!” – Roam TripAdvisor.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
