This is a hidden gem.
We were not lucky with the weather when we arrived there - but we wished we could stay longer.
The place is well hidden in the forest and you can fully immerse yourself in the relaxation. The views at the sunrise and the sunset are amazing and also you can watch the birds directly from the shower.
The breakfast was delicious as well as the dinner.
Nestled amongst a forest in The Crags, Forest Nature Spa is situated close to attractions such as Birds of Eden, Monkeyland and Tenikwa Wildlife Centre.

We picked Colourful BnB for its location on our way when travelling by car across South Africa. Honestly, we planned it just for a night break and weren’t expecting much. But Wow - we wish we had booked to stay longer and make it our accommodation for exploring the Garden Route. It's more than BnB! The house is spacious and well equipped (even some musical instruments are there). The wood for BBQ, wines and crafted beer were prepared for our arrival. We heartily thank Gert-Jan for his advice to upgrade our initial booking and for his hospitality. The hosts are really love their place.
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.

Animal sanctuaries are awesome and accommodation peaceful...
Animal sanctuaries are awesome and accommodation peaceful with beautiful views but restuarants are very limited especially durin the month of May when they shut down. If I did it again I would probably either pack food or stay in Plettenburg bay and travel through to the Crags for a day visit to the sanctuaries.
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.
The Crags Country Lodge is situated on top of a beautiful hill surrounded by forest and mountains. It is quiet and restful. No children are allowed which keeps it restful. The rooms are beautiful and tastefully appointed, the food is absolutely superb and the service friendly and efficient. The host, James, knows his wines and spirits thoroughly and surprised us with some new labels and tastes. He is supported by Alice, the chef who delighted our palates.
Breakfast was great, well presented & variety. Wonderful views from boma deck. Room was lovely design with African art and textiles. Very family-friendly, they provided cot with teddies and milk and cookies at bedtime for our toddler. It has a bath (as well as shower) which was much appreciated for little ones. Staff were lovely, friendly and accommodating. Fun to have monkeys visiting our balcony. Easy access to Plettenberg Bay if you have a car.
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.
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.
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
Good location, delicious breakfast, spacious property with great views and most importantly, Gert-Jan is an outstanding host who is really knowledgable about the region and activities around Plettenberg Bay. The property is unique as it is surrounded by nature and is great if you enjoy time outside.
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.
It’s just a lovely place! Peaceful, beautiful, wonderful. The cottage provides everything you need for a relaxed getaway! Sunbirds on the balcony and you really feel like Tarzan and Jane! Many extremly beautiful placera to visit nearby. We think it’s perfect! ❤️❤️❤️
I have loved the place, so different from an hotel, we could enjoy the view, the animals and feel amazed by the creativity! Very good breakfast (homemade bread and granola - the only place we have stayed on the Garden Road with a truly homemade breakfast).
It was absolutely wonderful! Beautiful location, conveniently located between plet and natures valley. Awesome in the forrest. The "fly me to the moon" cabin is amazing, so romantic and breathtaking views!
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.
