Where the spirit of nature speaks.

Where the spirit of nature speaks.
Mantis Hiddn in Addo is set high within its own exclusive 800-hectare private reserve, surrounded by pristine wilderness. A mountain sanctuary of understated luxury, offering space to slow down, breathe deeply and rediscover yourself through nature. The 14 luxury suites and villas, seemingly suspended between earth and sky, offer a vantage point from which you can absorb the serenity, silence and beauty that swathes the wilderness below you.
Enjoy expeditions into the Addo Elephant Park to see Africa’s Big Five in their natural habitat and in the unspoiled splendour of the Eastern Cape. Your time at Hiddn is a journey of discovery, guided by your dedicated and intuitive personal host. From intimate safari excursions to a guided nature walk to the river, rewilding, star gazing, nocturnal experiences, private dining and tailored wellness rituals. It’s about turning ordinary into extraordinary.
Hiddn’s food and beverage offering is a key pillar of the guest journey. Dining is not treated as a separate component, but as an extension of wellness, storytelling, and place. Menus are guided by seasonality, freshness, and local inspiration, with a strong emphasis on quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation.
Guests can expect refined yet approachable cuisine that balances indulgence with nourishment. Whether enjoying a long, slow breakfast with panoramic views, a relaxed lunch between activities, or an elevated dinner under the stars, the culinary experience is designed to feel both luxurious and personal. Dietary preferences and wellness goals are accommodated seamlessly, and the team can curate menus that align with each guest’s lifestyle.
The bar offering is equally considered, featuring premium wines, craft spirits, and curated pairings. For guests seeking a wellness-led stay, non-alcoholic options, fresh tonics, and bespoke beverages are available, ensuring that every guest feels catered for without compromise.
