I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Stanley Island, from Jack's pleasant welcome to the wonderful room and view over the grazing zebras. Everything was perfect, this was one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at.

Tamodi Lodge was a great base base for exploring the Garden route - it is close to Tsitsikamma, Nature's valley and Robberg nature reserve. The room was very comfortable and the view from our suite was incredible! There is a wine cellar at the hotel so go and grab yourself a wine and light up the fire place in you room for a cozy evening. The service was impeccable and we felt very much at home. Our only regret was that our booking (3 nights) was too short!

We recently spent two unforgettable nights at Belle Balance Bush Lodge, and it was an experience we will cherish forever! From the moment we arrived, the warm and welcoming staff made us feel right at home, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of perfect. The lodge itself is beautifully situated in nature, providing a serene and peaceful atmosphere that instantly helped us unwind. Our accommodations were comfortable and tastefully decorated, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the tranquil surroundings. One of the highlights of our stay was the game drive. It was an incredible experience to see the wildlife in their natural habitat, and the knowledgeable guides made the adventure even more memorable. We were lucky enough to spot an array of animals and learn about the local ecosystem, which added a fantastic educational element to our trip. The relaxed atmosphere at Belle Balance Bush Lodge made it easy to let go of our everyday stresses. We found ourselves wishing we could extend our stay to soak in even more of the beautiful surroundings and the delightful hospitality. Every detail was carefully considered, from the delicious meals to the cozy common areas where we could relax and enjoy the company of fellow guests. We wholeheartedly recommend Belle Balance Bush Lodge for anyone looking for a tranquil escape near Plettenberg Bay. We left feeling rejuvenated and grateful for the wonderful memories created during our stay. We can't wait to return and experience the magic all over again!

    The unique experience and oppertunity viewing the elephants at night and at rest as well as the interaction with them and the guides. The rooms were pristine, warm and comfortable. The lodge was very accommodating with any special requests! Rhe Cafè was comfi and the food was good. The kids could enjoy the ducks and swans and the play area while we relaxed. A great family lodge!

    Staying at the Knysna Elephant Lodge cannot be summed up in mere words such as awesome, wonderful, enchanting, spiritual. It was so magical to feed, walk with and observe these majestic land animals 24/7! The grounds were beautiful, the staff and guides fantastic and of course the elephants. Both my travel partner and I felt that if we didn’t have family and obligations back home, we would have stayed on and volunteered. It was that phenomenal of an experience!

    The highlight of our South Africa trip! Emily Moon River Lodge is an amazing property with the coolest boho decor and incredible lodges. We couldn't get over the views!! Grant was the friendliest host, reserving us a table at the popular Simon's Bar for pizza and live music, and recommending lots of things to do in the area. Wish we could have stayed longer!

    Beautiful lodges with spacious tastefully furnished rooms. The open kitchen is equipped with basic kitchen utensils and condiments. Large outdoor barbecue area. The highly recommended restaurant serves quality dishes and remarkably creative cocktails in a private athmosphere. There is plenty of opportunity for adventures on the island and it's surrounding river. The ferry to take people on and off the island works well on a 15min notice period. There indeed are Zebras roaming the island which are curious and friendly.
