Nice comfortable lodge in a picturesque setting. The service was amazing. They helped us with booking transfers, excursions and were always attentive. The room was simple, clean, spacious and suitable to our needs. The breakfast was also really good. Definitely I recommend this place

Tolle Umgebung. Auch das Village war sehr schön und fussläufig zu erreichen. Optimaler Startpunkt um die Kanutour in Tsisikama zu machen.
Frühstück war in Ordnung. Es gab ein Buffet mit leckeren Quiches. Leider war alles kalt.
Für einen Übernachtungsstop würden wir es wieder wählen

Ficamos apenas uma noite. Acomodações ótimas e staff prestativo (ótima recepção com diversas dicas sobre a cidade e arredores). O lodge em si é uma gracinha e cercado de natureza. Café da manhã ótimo.

Eine persönliche Begrüßung mit Tipps und Tricks für die angrenzenden Sehenswürdigkeiten war der hervorragende Start in eine sehr angenehme Nacht hier. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist hier hervorragend.

Leider war das von uns gebuchte Zimmer durch einen Buchungsfehler am Anreisetag nicht verfügbar und wir mussten in eine kleineres Zimmer ausweichen, aber dafür hat man in einen Preisnachlass gegeben und die Option am nächsten Tag in ein größeres Zimmer umzuziehen. Alles in allem ein sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt, sehr gutes Frühstück, saubere Zimmer , schöne Anlage mit Pool und sehr nettes Personal.

The place is so charming!
We had a free upgrade room and could spend our time in a very comfortable and charming room.
All the staff is so kind and they care about all the details to make sure nothing is missing!
A good breakfast is available, with fresh mix of fruits, juice, yogurt, tea, coffee, breads... many options!
We had a great time there!

We spent two nights here as part of a longer trip.
It was comfortable and convenient. However the rooms we had were in an annex and were a little damp and the wifi didn't reach. The staff were hospitable and welcoming and did their best. Fine breakfast. Several adequate eating places nearby. We recommend the Tsitrus Cafe.
Convenient for Tsitsikamma

On check-in the room we had booked was not available but we were shown to a very pleasant garden bungalow. We enjoyed dinner on the first night and breakfast each morning was good.
The guest house is in the village and close to all the Tsitsikamma attractions which we were able to explore.

The lodge was set in a garden setting, a little back from main road leading from the N2. There is a small restaurant where breakfast is served and a substantial evening meal can be obtained.
As we visited in the winter, we found the room to be somewhat cold and damp which was not fully offset by the small stand-alone heater. Electric blankets were provided but I will a little perturbed by the amount of extension leads being used.
A recent storm had brought down a large tree in front of our accommodation. This hadn't hit the room but repairs to the connecting path and wall were being carried out while we were in residence.
The owners were helpful and courteous and the home cooked meals reasonably priced and filling

Leider die mit Abstand enttäuschendste Unterkunft unserer Südafrika Rundreise. Die Zimmer sind dunkel, feucht und riechen unangenehm. Im Badezimmer riecht es sogar regelrecht nach Kloake. Auch die Sauberkeit lässt mehr als zu wünschen übrig. Das Frühstück ist sehr einfach, aber ok. WLAN funktionierte in unserem Zimmer gar nicht, in anderen mehr schlecht als recht. Das Personal ist freundlich, aber das konnte den Aufenthalt nicht mehr retten. Wir waren unendlich froh, als unsere 2 Nächte vorbei waren.

Wir waren eine Nacht dort und es gibt kaum etwas zu bemängeln. Das Gelände ist schön angelegt und die Unterkünfte urig. Auch das inbegriffene Frühstück war sehr lecker. Leider wurden wir relativ früh von den bellenden Hunden des Besitzers geweckt.
