We stayed here for one night on the way from the west coast to Knysna. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were welcomed by Paula on arrival and from that moment on it was like we were home, we chose this spot because my Husband is obsessed with fishing and the lodge has 2 small dams on site stocked with...

We stayed here for two nights in March 2013! What an amazing place to stay. Outstanding service, breakfast and accommodation. Wonderful facilities. We will definitely go back. Perfect place for children, my older son had a great time fishing with my husband. Staff there are excellent and extremely accommodating to all our requests!

Stayed for three nights and found the place comfortable and clean with very helpful staff. The room was big with a large shaded patio. Breakfast was also good. Had a slight problem with the shower door but it did not detract from the overall impression. On the edge of town so you do really need a car.

This an awesome place. Fabulous service, beautiful accommodation in a stunning setting. Great service - lovely breakfast. Really could not ask for more. Although it is a bit pricey even with a UK wallet.

We spent two nights here between our stay in Wilderness and Hermanus. The room was very spacious and comfortable. It is a tidy step from the town so you need the car to go out for dinner. We tried a take-away Pizza one night from a place in town but that was not a great success! Every so often you... More

We were made to feel very welcome on our 2 night stay at this lovely lodge. Very comfortable and of a very high standard. Large double bed, bath and separate shower, kitchenette with basin and basic crockery and cutlery. Best of all, a large covered veranda with views of the mountains. Would recommend a stay here and would love to... More
