Always a special experience!! Johann & Candice (together with Isabel & KD) offers a warmth that makes Palms special. We cannot visit the Garden Route without spending a few nights at this gem. Thank you for yet another special stay.

Lots of stops on the garden route and this was my favourite, attention to detail was spot on. Only stayed one night and that was a mistake, needed at the very least two nights. Beds were so comfortable... Sitting at the cafe tables outside the beautiful room sipping a little wine was the perfect end to the evening. The staff... More

Fantastic quirky accommodation, our room(s) had a lounge area, good size bed and bathroom. Very pretty hotel with lovely gardens and a small but perfectly formed swimming pool. Johann and Candice are excellent hosts, never intrusive but always helpful. The breakfast is excellent!! Wilderness is a 2 minute walk away and full of good restaurants, and the beach about a...

A cute guest house hidden away from the road. The rooms are large and tastefully done. The beach is just a few minutes walk away - the beach is beautiful, clean and long and hardly a person on it. My husband had the cooked breakfast and was impressed with his omlette. There is a large hotel nearby - ugly and... More

This hotel has used its spaces superbly and each villa has a small courtyard where you can sit in some privacy. Excellent breakfast. The staff were very helpful without being intrusive. If we are in the area again, we would certainly go back!

We recently stayed at The Palms for 2 nights and were impressed. The accommodation could be referred to as ‘shabby chic’ and was just what we hoped for. The thatched chalet we stayed in was private, comfortable and unassuming . The spacious room with traditional home furnishings made our stay ideal. Staff were friendly (especially Johann) and extremely helpful with... More

We spent one night here on a tour of the Garden route. It was a real retreat,tucked away near the village green and lagoon but close to the beach, restaurants and shops. The chalets were large and luxurious with their own outside areas. The breakfast was superb, served in the garden. A very friendly and helpful staff.
