Lodges in Western Cape

"Lovely out-of-the-way getaway with super friendly staff. Better hiking trail maps, up-to-date picnic basket menus, and working DSTV would have bumped it up to five stars. "

"We loved our stay here. It was a great stopping point after doing Karoo National Park. It was clean and a piece of paradise. There were giraffes, impalas, countless birds and large tortoises throughout the property. You could walk anywhere on site and we felt very safe. We stayed in Chalet 2 and it had great beds, WiFi, AC in the room, hot shower and a stove top. We enjoyed this place and will be back! "

"Two holiday nights Franshoek Clean, new towels, useful facilities, good bakery etc nearby No problems "

"Very comfortable two bedroom apartment with kitchenette and very small lounge area Perfect for what we needed for our long weekend"

"Wonderful Experience !"

"Stunning bedroom views from this lodge and exceptional service and kind attitude from Shannon ! Food was also great. It’s an older lodge that has been upgraded with excellent bathroom fixtures and main bedroom lighting. Wifi is a little slow, early morning hot water taps need to run a bit before hot water arrives and the sliding partition in our room 2 needs to be replaced with a frosted glass door as the current wooden sliding partition is a little stiff to open . Otherwise an excellent choice...

"This is a very beautiful hotel and has amazing safari grounds. Rooms are beautiful, clean and inviting. Overall very expensive for what you get and has a lot of hidden fees on arrival. It is a shame that things such as breakfast or activities are not included or discounted with the significant cost of a room per night. We paid approximately AU$1500 per night and only received the hotel room. Even arrival drinks come at a cost. The experiences such as the safari tour and horse riding were...

"Wonderful experience here. We saw 10 different wild animals species. Great service, great staff. Luan, our game guide was terrific !! "

"One of the most unique and amazing places we’ve ever stayed! Lovely resort of treehouses built in a remote setting with all the amenities you could need. The staff were all super friendly and could not do enough to help you was an absolute pleasure to have them there. Would recommend to anybody travelling on the garden route or staying in Plettenberg to stay here it would make an unforgettable memory. "

"It was fantastic. One of the best places we have stayed. Attention to detail, quality, service, food and of course the wine."

"Unbelievable stay. Very special location. Waves crashing at your feet. Wonderful staff. Impeccable restaurant. "

"We enjoyed our stay at Thali Thali which was peaceful and quiet. The staff were especially friendly, welcoming and very responsive. Our accommodation was comfortable but some of the fixtures and fittings could probably do with refurbishment. All in all a very happy stay. "

"We had a great time during our staying at the lodge. The couple Margaret and Bertus who run the place are very wekcoming and friendly . The room was big and cleen. The place is very quiet with farm animals and horses, located few miles from Mossel Bay but gives a feeling of country side. The surroundings are close to a wild area in which you can observe Giraffs if you are lucky. Great for a couple and very suitable for families with children. Good value for money."

"This was our second time staying at Simbavati and though it certainly didn't disappoint, it also didn't surprise. The lodges are very cute and tidy but are short of a TV. The food in the restaurant is good but not excellent. The spa treatments were disappointing, especially for the price. Cederberg is for hiking/biking, more to do at the lodge would be appreciated, otherwise it's not the highest value for money. Having said all that, if you're going hiking for a (single) day and staying for a...

" My stay was fantastic but I was shocked by the breakfast waiters, they wiped my cup rim clean with a finger in front of me, some rubbed their faces and noses, some hocked back phlegm in a rude way, what a pity they seemed to be completely untrained in basic waiter hygiene, otherwise all great"

"Arniston Seaside cottages offers a real escape from the hubub or the modern world. No Wifi, no Load Shedding cover, Lots of authentic nature and lots of wonderful scenery. "

"Things have changed since I was last here , rooms are still good, they have upgraded their breakfast and the amount of choice is excellent,quality is good ,the grounds have been meticulously kept neat and tidy ,it’s a perfect place if you have kids to be free and play , such a treat to see the animals and wild animals that are close by,we really enjoyed our stay ,we were not affected by loadshedding-generator onsite "

"It was wonderful. From beginning to end the service was impeccable. The accommodation is lovely. The surroundings and settings are amazing."

"The location of Buffelsdrift is beautiful which made the safari experience even more wonderful. Staff were warm, welcoming and the tent was gorgeous. A truly magical stay. "

"The property was located in a wonderful nature area. It was very beautiful. The room was as expected. The dining experience at the property was average, food was substandard and service was okay. The receptionist who checked us in was and I quote a "gen z" She made a mistake with our room numbers. then the next day one of the staff members walked up to my husband while he was having lunch, in front of other guests, very loudly told him that he should have checked out hours ago. He was forced to...
