The location is well located for Nature's Valley and the beautiful beach just down the road from the Lily Pond (short drive) and all the activities that are available in the area of the Crags. The provided breakfast is excellent, while the evening cuisine is extremely good. The staff are all lovely and extremely helpful. We will return.

Location very remote and peaceful. Swimming pool ok, but felt it could be cleaner. Location was too remote from Plettenberg Bay though for our purposes, which involved a 27km drive

Staff very friendly and helpful. Dinner in evening of very high standard, as was breakfast

Wifi is very limited and extra money need to be paid to have more internet, a bit surprising given the place

Beautiful place to rest, the rooms are confortable and the view on the pond is nice. Dinner and breakfast were excellent, and the staff is really helpful and available.

Our stay at Lily Pond Country Lodge was an exceptional experience and undoubtedly the highlight of our trip to South Africa. From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the peaceful setting and the tasteful and elegant decor of the lodge. What truly made our stay unforgettable was the perfect combination of the tranquility of the surrounding nature and the high-end comfort offered by the lodge. Waking up to the sound of birds and falling asleep under a starry sky while enjoying discreet luxury was a real delight. We would like to extend our special thanks to Caroll and Bronwan for their availability and attentive listening. Thanks to their valuable advice, we were able to explore the region in a unique and authentic way. Their in-depth knowledge of the area and their sense of hospitality greatly contributed to the quality of our stay. Breakfasts were a treat every morning, with a variety of fresh and delicious choices. As for the dinners, they were simply sublime, a big thank you to Randall for his culinary talents. Each meal was an experience in itself, combining local flavors and creative touches. We also enjoyed the moments spent with the servers, whose humor and friendliness added a light and joyful note to our evenings. In summary, Lily Pond Country Lodge is a true gem, offering both a relaxing and luxurious experience. Whether it was comfort, ambiance, or gastronomy, everything was perfect. We highly recommend this lodge to anyone looking for an exceptional stay in South Africa.

The Internet kept breaking but was being fixed and the load shedding meant that there were times during the day or night without electricity. This also means no water for toilets.

The location is super peaceful and the surroundings are beautiful. Very pleasant staff and helpful.

We had a wonderful stay in Lily Pond Country Lodge. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Bronwan was the most dedicated manager we‘ve ever came across. She did a great job in giving us advices on daily trips. We had the opportunity to eat twice at the restaurant and the chef has created great menus for us! The waiters were excellent. We had a wonderful time! Thank you

Loved the setting and the friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble. Bronwan, the Manager was so helpful. Randall the Chef and Elsabe his Assistant Chef provided us with a wonderful meal and service. Fires were lit and rooms warmed in advance of our arrival as it was a cool evening. The grounds, pool and pond were beautiful. Room was spacious, beautifully fitted out and opened onto a deck area overlooking the pond. Honesty bar in each room. We will definitely return for longer when the sun shines.

I found there was not enough lighting in the bathroom. I had to plug the hairdryer into the socket in the bathroom as it was the only one near to a mirror.
