We loved the gorgeous views, beautiful decor, attention to detail and the sterling service. Herolds bay is the perfect locatiom to spend a few days relaxing and connecting with nature and the perfect location to tour places along the garden route. We definitely recommend Waves of Grace to everyone travelling to the garden route in South Africa. We were on our honeymoon during our stay and Sandra and Rita were really nice, surprising us with celebratory wine and also giving us an upgrade in the room! Thanks so much!

The views were amazing from every corner of the apartment. It was modern, clean, had everything I needed and more. It was superbly decorated and really felt like home from home. My reservations about noise from the restaurant next door (Enricos) or the neighbors below were completely unfounded. With the amazing views and sound of the ocean, you hardly hear anything else. I loved every moment at this beautiful spot. I stayed in 5 different places along the garden route during my trip, and this was the best.

The location is nothing less than amazing. Right at the point where the river meets the sea, with lovely balcony and view. The apartment is truly amazing, well equipped with everything (including laundry machine) and anything you could think of. Unfortunately it was raining from the moment we arrived to the moment we left and we didn't have the chance to properly enjoy Stilbaai nor the balcony and the view, but it was still a good stay on the way to garden route.

The accommodation is really upmarket, clean, large enough for a small and close to the beach. Everything we required and more was available for a great self-catering holiday. The accommodation is close to shops and some of the best restaurants South Africa has to offer. Being centrally located on the Garden Route, Plett, Knysna, George, Mosselbay is within an hours drive. Nothing really bad can be said regarding the accommodation and Estee is a wonderful host.

Excellent hospitality from the staff right from check-in to check-out as they went above and beyond in providing us with a luxurious stay. The on-site restaurant has breathtaking views of the coast and their breakfast was the best during our week-long garden route road trip. Will recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a 5-star stay near Plettenberg Bay with lots of attractions within 15-min driving distance from the hotel.

This place is the good value option in one of the poshest sought after spots on the South African Garden route - the Knysna.heads. Bearing in mind that as far as the view goes, you get what you pay for - the kloof. The official view point and the dramatic beach are a short walk (or drive) away. The studio is neat and private and inviting to have one's sundowners and meals on the balcony. Even braaing is possible.

Out of 2 weeks on the Garden Route, this was our favorite stay! The room has breathtaking, unobstructed views from the ocean (which you cannot get if you are down by the beach). Super comfy beds and couches. Fully equipped kitchen which uses gas. Super clean apartment, and walking distance (down a hill) to a supermarket and amazing restaurants. 10/10 would stay here again!

We stayed here for one night as a pit stop on our way to the Garden Route. Great dinner at arrival. Big, very comfortable bed in our room. In the morning we joined the farm tour which was a lot of fun, definitely recommend. Very beautiful setting among the mountains. Breakfast with scrambled ostrich eggs and a cheddar cheese buffet was one of the best hotel breakfasts I had!

Amazing place to stay for families visiting the area, the hosts are outstanding and helpful and were also so kind to make our laundry and dry it too. The apartments is well equipped and has kitchen with facilities for cooking on your own. There is a lovely restaurant only 50m away as well as supermarket. Overall very recommended place on your trip in the Garden route.

Louis was a wonderful host and left us a letter with good food and things to do in Plettenberg and the garden route. The property was in walking distance to groceries, shops and restaurants. There was also secure parking and the apartment itself was wonderful! We are so grateful to have spent time at The Joneses!

We loved our stay at the Lofts! The location on Thesen Island was quiet but walkable to restaurants and shops, and centrally located on the Garden Route. The view of the harbor from our room was amazing, and we had a lovely breakfast outside at the hotel restaurant. Staff were super friendly and helpful.

WE GOT AN UPGRADE!!! We were moved to a huuuge suite with infinite sea views, it was much much more than we had bargained for. This was by far our favourite hotel of the 5 we stayed in during our garden route vacation. The location was brilliant and the service was world class. We were totay blown away

Once again we went back to one of our favorite hotels on the Garden Route! We were upgraded to the Club King Room as a surprize! The mountain views are simply the best. Rooms are spacious and most comfortable too. The breakfasts are something to look forward to!

This stay was located right next to the ocean and the view from the hotel restaurant was beautiful. The room itself was very nicely decorated and quite spacious - it had everything we needed. It was definitely one of our favourite stays along the Garden route.

Really social hostel. The staff was great and on thursdays they have an open mic with very talented locals, So that was cool. Met a lot of cool people here to do hikes with. Best hostel on the Garden Route so far!

The location is just in front of the ocean. Quiet and safe area, parking available just behind the building. 10 minutes drive from Wilderness and Garden Route national park. Friendly staff. Fully equipped kitchen.

Lovely small hotel within a really buzzy bar/restaurant on the edge of town. We used it as a base from which to explore the Garden Route. Room was great and everything we ate and drank there was delicious.

Incredible location and amazing views from rooms and public areas. Staff had amazing attitudes and were helpful at all times Easy to travel to other cities in the Garden Route from hotel too

Unbelievable experience👍👌 Staff was just super professional. Can recommend this hotel to quests that want’s a holiday to remember. A gem in the Garden Route . . . Super location also . . .

An old style hotel handy if doing a game drive at the nearby Garden Route Game Lodge, with friendly helpful staff, good food and drink choices. Parked at area to rear of property.
