About Olive Grove Addo

Where nature is your neighbour

Olive Grove Addo is a private retreat set within a young olive orchard in Main Town, Addo, overlooking natural marshland alive with birdlife.

Two private villas sit at the edge of the wetlands, each positioned for privacy and uninterrupted views across the reeds.

Start the morning slowly with coffee in bed while the marsh wakes up.  Sink into a bath beside a large window looking out over the reeds.  End the day with a braai on your verandah as the sun sets across the valley.

Situated on the R335 between Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) and Addo Elephant National Park, the location offers the rare balance of feeling hidden away while remaining conveniently situated to amenities.

Nature on your doorstep. Everything else just minutes away.

The people behind Olive Grove

The Rayments

David and Meghan have called Addo home for many years now, sharing their land with their assortment of dogs, cats and chickens.

The olive orchard behind the villas was planted by hand only in 2023. With every young tree, in the beginning, being watered by hand with buckets.

The villas themselves grew from long conversations and many glasses of wine, with every detail carefully imagined together.

Olive Grove Addo is the result of bringing a shared dream to life, a place designed to slow down, breathe deeply, and share a quiet piece of nature with loved ones.
