“At OENA Xscapes, we take immense pride in celebrating excellence within our group, and this year, the spotlight shines brightly on Longhill Reserve and Lodges in Addo, Eastern Cape. Named our “Property of the Year 2024,” Longhill Reserve and Lodges has truly set a new standard in tourism and innovation.’ – Jaco Badenhorst CEO OENA Group South Africa

A Journey of Transformation

Longhill Reserve and Lodges have been recognised as the most improved lodge offering within the OENA Group. The reserve started off with only three Self Catering lodges and has grown to a complete offering with Serviced lodges like Bluecrane Lodge, Hornbill Lodge, Giraffe Tower lodge, New unique reception area, Mavericks Lodge(launching soon) Longhill Glamping tents and Mavericks Glamping tents and Bush Boma. The new Bush Boma overlooks a water hole at the property and serves as a beautiful restaurant and entertainment area. This accolade is a testament to their unwavering commitment to enhancing guest experiences and pushing the boundaries of hospitality and development within tourism. Gavin and Lynn Biggs, with the help of their family and amazing staff, has put an immense amount of capital and effort into this farm, to grow to one of Addo’s newest tourism hotpots.

Innovative Marketing Strategies

Our team at Longhill Lodge has been lauded for their innovative marketing strategies. By embracing innovation and creative approaches, we’ve successfully captured the essence of Longhill and the Addo area, inviting guests to experience its unique charm. Longhill now offers game drives, with their well equipped game vehicles, not only in their own 1800 ha reserve, but also day trips into the Addo National Elephant Park.

Concept Development and Implementation

The introduction of the Longhill Bush Boma has been a game-changer, earning them accolades for the best concept development. This new addition offers an authentic and immersive bush experience, allowing guests to connect with nature in an unparalleled setting with breathtaking sunsets after an informative game drive in the Longhill Reserve.

Furthermore, the implementation of the concept for their Mavericks Luxury Tents has been nothing short of spectacular. These tents redefine glamorous camping, combining rustic elegance with modern comforts, and providing a truly comfortable escape in the heart of the Eastern Cape wilderness.
