Perfect cosy accommodation for a few nights in Plett while visiting my friends.
A beautiful region, with excellent restaurants. The Grootrivier and (Western Cape part of) the Bloukrans River passes are exceptional, as is Nature's Valley.
The Birds of Eden is THE world leading bird conservancy -- the biggest anywhere with free flying birds in a magnificent forest with a beautiful kloof, waterfall ,,, The nearby Monkeyland and Jukani conservancies are also probably the best in Africa.
Thyme & Again restaurant is also a favourite.

This is definitely not a family holiday spot!
This is definitely not a family holiday spot! It could, at best, be a backpackers lodge. The water in the bathrooms was brownish, and although there were assurances that it was healthy, we were sceptical. The rooms were tiny and barely furnished. The kitchen is communal and almost 100 meters away from the rooms - very inconvenient for those rainy days! What about the toilet and bathroom outside the rooms! We had surely booked the wrong place, and stayed only for one night out of four.

Its a wonderful place to stay, especially since it is 18kms...
Its a wonderful place to stay, especially since it is 18kms from Plettenberg Bay, so its more serene than Plett over the height of summer. There is a lot to do in the vicinity. We loved our visits to the elephant sanctuary (an absolute must-do), the wolf sanctuary, Birds of Eden, Tenikwa (wildlife rehabilitation), Jukani (wildlife sanctuary, especially for Big Cats) and Monkeyland. There's a super water park (Adventureland) about 19kms away, with fabulous waterslides.
We made the mistake of not booking restaurants for dinner in advance. Over late December / early January most places were fully booked, which really limited our options and we spent a lot of time calling around, which we could have avoided. I would scout the restaurants and book well in advance next time.

Everything was amazing, what a gem.
Everything was amazing, what a gem. The food was tasty, beautiful location which resulted in beautiful pictures. Even Diesel was a pleasure to meet. We loved everything and we will definitely be coming back
We found everything we might need in the cottage like plates, pots, pans, pillows, blankets, etc. The cottage itself is a modest place with 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, a nice view, a parking space in the garage. The hosts are such a friendly and lovely couple.
The host made us very delicious breakfast and brought it early as we asked the previous night.
We enjoyed our stay a lot, it definitely was a good value for money, quite close to Nature's Valley. There's also a supermarket nearby.
This was a magical place to spend time on our South Africa vacation. The Villa is outstanding with the lovely rooms, resident animals/friends who gave us lots of cuddles, fabulous food and the host are very caring. I felt like I was wrapped in a warm blanket of care. Scrumptious breakfasts and phenomenal dinners. I cannot recommend this place enough! Luckily we spent three nights here but would have loved to spend even more time.
Ilze is an amazing host, upgraded us to the bigger house for free, lots of space and really big kitchen with everything you could whish for. Great for a family. Beautiful garden and amazing area for escaping the city hassle. We stayed in South Africa for almost a month and stayed at various locations including Safari lodges and Cape Town - Four Fields was our favorite place and we will definitely visit again!
We made our own breakfasts. The hosts were very kind and helpful. The location is very close to the world-leading Birds of Eden, and equally close to the excellent Monkeyland. Conveniently close to the beautiful Nature's Valley, the magnificent Grootrivier Pass and the equally magnificent Western Cape portion of the Bloukrans River Pass. And not too far from Big Animal conservancy Jukani.
This felt like a mix between staying at my mom's house after a long time away and a great hotel.
We stayed one night at Villa Villekula and it was fantastic. After just finishing the otter trail it really felt like we were spoilt with great hot showers, comfortable rooms and friendly service. The food is also fantastic and would recommend highly.
Daniela and Willie are absolutely lovely.
Gert-Jan is a super host, very kind and friendly! The B&B is indeed very colourful and cosy! You have everything you need to cook a very nice breakfast and wine and beers are also available to purchase if you want. Bear in mind there aren't restaurants near by. The place is lovely and conveniently close to the animal sanctuaries "birds of Eden" and "Monkey Island".
Cute cottage on a dairy farm, you are in the middle of nature, well equipped, a fresh bottle of milk in the fridge, you can go to the nearby farmstall to buy groceries or to eat breakfast/ lunch there (make sure that you try the milktart), friendly staff and easy communciation with the host, nice hiking recommendations for the area, we had a pleasant stay
The location is well located for Nature's Valley and the beautiful beach just down the road from the Lily Pond (short drive) and all the activities that are available in the area of the Crags.
The provided breakfast is excellent, while the evening cuisine is extremely good. The staff are all lovely and extremely helpful.
We will return.
This was our favorite of the places we stayed in South Africa, and we hope to go back some day. The proprietors are warm, welcoming, and helpful. Breakfast was wonderful, but you should definitely plan to eat dinner here during your stay- they were some of the best of the trip.
Everything was perfect, this was the most special place we stayed at in South Africa. The location is magical, rooms are clean and big, food was great (breakfast and dinner) and beyond all the staff was kind and generous unlike any other place. This is a must for couples.
Really cute and well equipped lodge, it was perfect to stay one night in our road trip in the garden route. The location is amazing and peaceful, the host Sue is kind and accommodating. There is a lot to do near by and a stunning beach !
Gorgeous boutique hotel a short drive from Plettenberg. The staff is incredibly kind and thinks of everything. The food is fantastic. Amazing views from anywhere on the property. We did not want to leave!
An unbelievable place that really puts you in the middle of the forest and the nature! The staff was very welcoming and the whole hotel and spa buildings are just a beautiful work of art.
Very unusual location in the forest and a very vivid reminder of South Africa.The rooms were spacious and accessible with all the amenities you would expect from a very special hotel.
