Turned up with no one there to let us in! Had to wait on the side of the road for an hour, after a very long drive. Owners showed up, wasted, making up some excuse about having to pick some friends up from the airport which turned out to be completely untrue (said friends had been there two weeks already)....

We said we would retun, and we did. Bella Manga was even more delightful than we remembered. We stayed 3 nights in one of the newly converted self catering garden suites. We were more than comfortable. The rooms are very tastefully decorated and have everything you could need. Ray & Fiona were fabulous hosts as always. Some reviewers keep on... More

We stayed as a group of 6 (3 couples) at Bella Manga whilst travelling the Garden Route. It was so lovely and the owners couldn't have been more helpful. They recommended a place to eat and when we went to go out that night they had kindly called ahead and reserved a table for us, which was very much needed... More

I can not believe anyone could be negative about Bella Manga, Fiona and Ray were great hosts, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful without being intrusive. The accommodation is first class, set in beautiful surroundings,and so very peaceful. I can see that it may be a little out of town for some but it is only15-20 minutes drive, I live in Bath... More

Stayed mid March 2012 at the Bella Manga and were met immediately on arrival by Fiona who was very helpful and friendly. The rooms were of excellent quality and very clean, pool area and grounds were very well kept and the breakfast tasty and delicious. Both Ray and Fiona made us feel very welcome during our stay and would recommend... More

I was prompted to write my first review after reading the negative feedback but also based on my stay which couldn't have been more pleasant. First, Plett is really not out of the way, it's unbelievable this would be made an issue. I found the location to be an advantage, you have easy access to town but you can retreat... More

we came upon Bella manga quite by chance and had a most delightful and relaxing 2 days. hosts Ray & Fiona could not have been more helpful.very comfortable accommodation. A superb breakfast in a lovely setting. good pool and tranquil surroundings make this a very pleasurable place to visit.and will visit again on our travels

My wife Marie, & I have traveled the world on many occasions, staying from five star hotels, to humble abodes in very remote locations, but have still to find a place like Bella Manga, this is our 4th. visit, and it gets better every time, one of our top criteria is feeling safe, and Bella Manga has it in spades,...

Not our cup of tea either, the living area was very small, the tv was next to the cooker and getting to the fridge without banging your head on the microwave was challenging. The pool area and grounds were lovely but to go into Plettenburg it was a 19k drive. Bella Manga was very disappointing, we stayed at much nicer... More
