We chose to stay at Fantail because friends had stayed here for a conference about 20 years ago and raved about it. Since then, brand new villas have been built. We spent our wedding anniversary in a lovely shiny new villa and felt like royalty. It looks like they're doing some work on the grounds which will really add to... More

We chose Fantail Lodge for our annual company planning meeting. We didn't know what we were in for so flew somewhat blind as to how it would be. Quite simply, we were blown away with the experience. From the rooms, to the service, but above all the food is brilliant. Harrie & Barbara are world class in their delivery of... More

Fantail Lodge Pros; New units with nice chattels. Tastefully decorated  Main building is beautiful with character and charm.   Cons; The Estate room makes you feel like you are in the back room of the main unit with no view or privacy.
