I’ve liked everything
10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2026
I cannot compliment enough this place or the staff!! Maritza (head Guest Services Manager I believe) went out if her way over and over to ensure my stay was incredible. The restaurant owner was friendly, helpful and genuine. The staff had tons of energy and danced about during my dinner. I couldn't be happier. The lodging was incredible, quiet, peaceful and serene. Bed was comfortable. Lodging was private and relaxing! I even went horse-back riding (very reasonably priced) and there were tons of activities for families. Even the gift shop was well priced. INCREDIBLE location. STAY HERE YOU WILL NOT REGRET A MOMENT!!
There's not a darn thing I didn't like. At one point (BRIEFLY) wifi crashed [we are located in middle of nowhere, close to Plett, but far enough] and they ran around like mad to fix ASAP. They really exceeded any expectation and I COME FROM a hospitality background. BEST stay in South Africa.

I couldn't have breakfast because of the morning rush but the room allocated to me was value for money. I'd definitely recommend it.
6 / 10Average·Oct 2026
The breakfast was good and the waiter was so welcoming, if they can also add beef sausages on the menu to accommodate people that they do not eat pork
The rooms don't have windows and the smell on the leaving area .
