We had an amazing couple of days at Bufallo Hills. The luxury tents were above our expectations. Decorated with love and attention to the detail and equipped with all you need to make your stay enjoyable and pleasant. Even the heaters were on on our arrival, fresh flowers and a chocolate next to the bed. I had a bath in the jacuzzi early morning, sipping a cup of coffee and watching the monkeys playing in the trees. The evenings were just a spectacular, relaxing on our privte the wooden deck, with a glass of wine and enjoying the sunset and the view towards the hills, while zebras and wildebeast were entertaining us.
The ultimate treat was the outside dinner around the fire. Maria cooked up a storm every evening and served the most delicous meals every night.
Plettenberg has so much to offer, but we couldn't bring ourselves to leave the Lodge, but rather enjoyed the wonderful surroundings, the peace and tranquility and the well guided safari walks or drives on the property.
Than kyou so much for your excellent hospitality Tony and Maria.we hope to be back soon. Kristin, Stefan and the girls

Maria's home cooking and Tony's skill at the fire (barbeque) makes for great breakfasts and dinner (with lots of homemade and homebaked treats - like ice-cream and croissants). Dinner-time conversations around the fire and the dining room table are very relaxing and a good way to end the day.

Game drives and morning walks were very interesting - thanks Kurt for sharing all your knowledge and experience with us (yes, even the snakes!).

Tented accommodation close to the Mampoer distillery has seen its heyday a few years ago and even though it is time for some TLC and maintenance, our tent still provided a comfortable room and bathroom with fantastic view. Afternoons can get very hot in and around the tents, with nowhere to hide or sit in the shade!

Overall an enjoyable experience in a relaxed setting.

Location was nice as they have a lodge in an area with some "wildlife" like zebra's, giraffes, wildebeasts and antilopes.

We booked this as a 4 star accomodation like pointed out on the website but actually it was terrible. The certificate of the council for the 4 stars is valid untill july 2007 and the place has been dusted around that period for the last time also... It is old and we also got a terrible meal the evening we arrived.. We decided to do the morning game drive wich was nice due to the efforts of Curt (he knows a lot about the animals). Had dinner in Plettenberg Bay and got out the next morning as early as we could.

If you are allergic to Dust or are astmatic in any way than stay out of this accomodation.

Must say the owners are very kind put that doesnot make up for lack of comfort especially when your travelling with small kids like us. This was the 5th accomodation we stayed in in South Africa and we stayed only in 4 stars accomodations and this had nothing to do with that, 2 stars at the most...

We booked the accomodation including BBQ, the game drive and guided walk

accommodation:
- the cottage was really nice and spacious, a bit rustic but thats basically the intention (this was a complimentary upgrade thx again)
- tony, maria and carmen were really nice, helpful and friendly
- food was very good and extremly nicely decorated; exceeded expectation
- BBQ: excellent food, very nice atmosphere, good to learn a bit about the country and the situation of the people

Game drive / guided walk:
- not worth to do it, if you know Addo or other bigger reserves
- good information about the animals like zebras, gnus and wildebeest (tour deducted by Curt)
- interesting demonstration of different snakes (thx Curt)

priceing policy:
- a bit confusing is if you book via the website becausw it was for us not so clear that we purchased basically 2 packages on top of the accomodation
- the flyer in the lodge is much clearer: accomodation is seperated form the game drive and the guided walk in the morning
- Recommendation: Phone them up an make clear what you want and intend to do
