Room was incredible, so luxurious and a real treat it was such an authentic place for safari. Food was incredible, some of the best we’ve ever had All of the staff so attentive and friendly, genuinely show so much care to every single person staying with them And finally Siviwe our safari guide. The safaris themselves were so much fun, we spent only 6 hours with him across 2 safaris but it felt like we’d been friends for life. A wonderful man and tour guide, so informative about the animals and plantlife, and so interested in us and our background.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at both Hunters Country Lodge and Tsala Treetop Lodge in Plettenberg Bay. Nestled in beautifully manicured gardens and lush forest canopies, these lodges offer a serene and luxurious escape that exceeded all our expectations.Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of — from the cozy fireplace in the room to the delicious homemade treats delivered each evening. We were surprised with charming little gifts and poetic notes on our pillow every night — a truly personal and heartwarming touch. With three excellent restaurants to choose from, the culinary experience was outstanding. The food was delicious, and the wine list impressive. The decor throughout both properties is tasteful, elegant, and exquisitely curated. But above all, it was the exceptional staff who made our stay truly unforgettable. Warm, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile — nothing was too much to ask. Their dedication to guest comfort and genuine hospitality left a lasting impression. We will most certainly be back! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a refined and soul-soothing getaway.

    Knysna is a beautiful town and a highlight in the Garden Route! A must to visit is the waterfront area. We had a fantastic trip on a yacht to the Heads at sunset with Springtide! The restaurants at the Waterfront are the best in town. We loved 34 Degrees South and Drydock Company. A visit to the Heads is a highlight. Knysna is surrounded with beautiful forest and there are plenty walks to choose from.

    Mossel Bay is an ideal holiday destination for travelers seeking a mix of the following : 1. Historical exploration 2. Stunning beaches 3. High-energy outdoor activities, watersports, mountain biking, golf, hiking 4. Good restaurants, with some live music entertainment 5. Cabin living on farms away from the city We have been visiting Mossel Bay for the last 30 years and continue to be one of our favorite holiday destinations, making it one of the most underrated stops along the Garden Route.

    Loved the view and i enjoyed climbing the stairs to our room. The room was cozy, bed very comfortable - had all we needed. All shops, restaurants and beach in walking distance, loved our beach strolls. The artist was busy with the most beautiful paintings within the subway leading to the beach. The breakfast at the place was delicious so we enjoyed dinner at The Blue Olive the Friday night and Ilali the Saturday night. We enjoyed the Saturday market, so many stalls.

    Beautiful and tranquil surroundings. Tsitsikamma Lodge in the forest, stunning accommodation. Storms River Village a must to visit, lovely restaurants and starting point for outdoor activities . Enjoyed the Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour, the guides were so friendly, had loads of fun! Marilyn's 60's Diner - lovey restaurant definitely worth a visit. Don't forget to visit the Wolf Dog Sanctuary Would love to have spent more time there to explore the hidden gems.

    Albertinia is a small country town without the big fast food take aways . Very rural . You can buy the basics at one of the cafes or Pizza place . There is not much as far as shops go so it is a stopover to break a long journey or a week or two of total peace and quite without too many modern day interruptions. There is a braai area and all you could want to have to have an enjoyable stop and a good night's sleep and no rush to get you out in the morning .. I simply bought rolls and cold meat and yogurt at Piet se kafee as I did not want to cook . Coffee is provided although if to a heavy coffee drinker you may want to buy a bit extra as most guest houses only give you enough for two or three cups of coffee . I had a nice chat with the owner who told me about the abundance of underground water and about the area in general...This is not a property where you can come in and drink and party and be a nuisance to others . . No smoking inside the chalets which is excellent @
