Lily Pond boasts luxuriously decorated rooms and suites fitted with modern, African-style furniture and deluxe bedding. Each room’s patio has a gravel floor and comfortable deck chairs with views over the lily ponds.

Beautiful tranquil location with nice room overlooking the pond. Unbelievable staff and I mean unbelievable. Attentive; friendly; knowledgeable. Dinner was spectacular and I recommend it. Overall a 6* experience. Load shedding was not impactful.

Featuring garden views, Frog Song Suite provides accommodation with a patio, around 2.2 km from Barnyard Theatre. Set 600 metres from Lawnwood Snake Sanctuary, the property offers a garden and free private parking.

The owners were wonderful, including their two dogs. They seemed to know everyone in the vicinity and got me a dinner reservation on short notice the first night. Recommendations were very helpful and informative. Playing guitar on a platform by the pond at night with stars, satellites and dogs was wonderful.

Located in Plettenberg Bay and only 19 km from Bloukrans Bridge, Valmont Estate provides accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. There is a private entrance at the holiday home for the convenience of those who stay. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace.

Valmont estate is picture perfect with the most beautiful horses adding to the tranquility. We stayed in the Dam Cottage which was very cutely decorated and snug. Its centrally located and very close to Natures Valley with a beautiful unspoilt beach and hike, and just off the N2 so a short drive into Plett for a meal or tsitsikamma for some adventure sports. This is the perfect place to rest and rejuvenate. The staff are lovely and super helpful.

    The farm was a nice and peaceful place to stay, near to the forest and hiking possibilities. Also nice to have a shop and restaurant at the farm.

    The location was incredible and it was so quiet and peaceful. The sunrise and sunset were beautiful to watch from our balcony. The photos don’t do the place justice in my opinion. The facilities were also really nice with a lovely outdoor space to chill and braai. The owner Ben was super friendly and helpful and his dogs were so nice. He was even kind enough to take us on a hike in the morning down to the river below with the dogs to have a swim and the views there were great. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip of the Garden Route

    Such a lovely location. Peacefull and quiet. The view from the porch with the mountain in front is spectacular. Lovely to sit and watch the birds and butterflies. Comfortable and spacious. Extra lights for loadshedding. Beverages and rusks. Books to read. Close to hiking spots and beach and estuary for a nice swim. Serviced room was an added bonus, as was getting to interact with the two horses.

    Absolutely fell in love with trogan house. One of our best stays in SA. Our room was so luxurious, which over looked the pool. We had the most amazing massage and private time in the spa. It was the most relaxing place and so peaceful. All staff were fantastic, but we would like to give a special shout out to 'wonderful' he was so helpful and made sure we had everything we need at our stay. We had dinner one night and it was fabulous. There is noting I can fault at this accommodation

    Quiet and peaceful. I did the walk down to the creek a couple of times, which was absolutely beautiful. It was great to get into the pool after the fairly strenuous climb coming up from the creek (though I did do it quickly, so I tired myself out and got rather hot and sweaty 🤣) I loved the log cabin in the forest and would definitely go back

    We absolutely loved everything as we wanted a quiet peaceful weekend - from the fireplace with lovely books and artworks all around, the stunning breakfast exactly to our requirements to the little white rabbit hopping around in our garden. The best for us was to meet Josephine - an extraordinary person. Ten stars for you - your friendliness, your professionalism, your advice around the hiking trails and your lovely chats made our trip an experience to remember. And we both agree that we had NEVER had such a good massage - NEVER!
