We stayed at Fynbos Ridge in the main house for two nights at the end of March. Close to Plett and Knysna but just out of town so that it feel totally peaceful, this beautiful place overlooks a valley and has spectacular views. It is worth taking the time to walk around the property and down to the pool. The... More

We stayed at Fynbos Ridge for two nights in a cottage and have nothing but the highest praise for Brian, Liz and their property. From the moment we arrived to the moment we departed, not a detail was overlooked. Our cottage was immaculately clean and perfect in every way. The view from the patio spanned miles across the horizon. Sitting... More

We stayed at Fynbos Ridge near the end of our six week journey to Africa. Our jaws dropped when we saw the beauty of the place, overlooking a lovely valley. Liz and Brian were the most attentive and gracious hosts. We stayed in the Aristea cottage which was beautiful beyond belief. It had a comfortable living room and an elegant... More

Following dental surgery in Plettenberg bay I needed accommodation for the night and with a stroke of luck found Fynbos Ridge. As my mother and I drove onto the gravel road, you got the sense that you were entering a world of old world charm mixed with modern luxuries. Brian, Liz and their daughter are incredible hosts, the serene surroundings... More

We stayed at Fynbos Ridge for 3 nights whilst travelling from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town. From the time we arrived until the time we left we were transported to another world.

We stayed at Fynbos Ridge for 3 nights during our 3 week holiday in South Africa. From the moment we arrived, nothing was too much trouble, and Brian and Liz are the most perfect hosts anyone could wish to meet. Our room in the house was lovely- spacious, light and airy, with french windows leading out to a delightful verandah... More

Would definitely stay again. Loved the place, loved the hosts and the home cooked meal. Perhaps more of a great 4 star than luxury 5 but definitely a great place to stay.

Thank you for your review, we appreciate it! We love our guests too! We love Fynbos Ridge and will continue with our program to renovate and upgrade. We took over a very neglected property three years ago, and already made big strides in improving. Hope that you come back to visit us again! More

We stayed in one of the cottages for two weeks with our three young children (5,4&1). Perfect location, in so far as it is close to Plett, however provides a really authentic African wilderness feel and view from the gorgeous Cape Dutch accomodation. Fynbos Ridge provides excellent value for money. Liz and Brian were excellent hosts and Brian's cooking is... More

My wife and 2 teenagers stayed at Fynbos Ridge for 2 nights over Christmas. Liz & Brian, and their daughter, were perfect hosts for our short stay, putting on a fantastic buffet on Xmas eve, and providing wonderful accommodation in a truly relaxing location.

We recently stayed in Clivia cottage for 4 nights with our 2 young children. As part of our wedding/honeymoon trip in SA we were only looking for 5 star accommodation and very few private establishments of this calibre allow children. What can I say, there was no issue with our children playing and being as loud as they cared to.... More
