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.

There is plenty of things to do there.
There is plenty of things to do there. We loved Robberg peninsula - I would say it was a highlight of south west part of SA. We were skeptical about going to Monkeyland and Birds of Eden - but those places are great, especially with kids. Our 1.5year old daughter was like in a dream.
And food was really good, you could find Farm Stalls almost everywhere, with fresh, organic food. The best restaurant is Ristorante Enrico: go there for sunset dinner (view pictures if you don't believe me).
With a car it is close to everywhere. And there is so many things, e.g. one small example "tsitsikamma falls adventures" - if you like zip lines you must go there, if you don't (like me) you also can go there and ask if you can just walk along the river and waterfalls.
The location is beautiful. It’s on a country road that leads down to Natures valley. The rooms are set looking at the lily ponds which are beautiful but be prepared as it is a little remote and if you want to go out for dinner in the evening it’s quiet a drive back in the dark.
The breakfast was very good, just would have liked it not to have been so rushed, the breakfast staff were lovely but they were bringing the cooked food before you finish the fruit and yoghurt. The seating is outdoors which is very nice.
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 is a very special place, a truly unique experience! It is an Eco Lodge so you're off the grid, it's not a hotel so the rooms are light and not soundproofed. But all the comforts are there, amazing bed and soft bedding with great pillows, it is warm and welcoming, the entire place and the rooms had so much character, the breakfast was absolutely incredible - best we've had in a long while. The value for money amazing. They really go out of their way!
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.
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".
location - In the bush but close to numerous outdoor activities & adventures, sanctuaries, restaurant's, fuel stations near by, view, hike on property, cleanliness, recycling initiatives, play park, professional & friendly, privacy between cabins, How well cabins are stocked with utensils etc, in door fire place
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.
We were served a lovely healthy breakfast on the patio. The location was close to Plettenberg Bay and all the attractions like Birds of Eden and the Snake park were very close. Loved the peace and quite and beautiful garden and dam.
We absolutely loved our stay at Trogon House and Forest Spa. The view, the food, the room, everything was perfect. “Wonderful” looked after us, he truely was wonderful. Our favourite stay in South Africa.
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!
The lodge is placed in the most beautiful setting, untouched nature as far as the eyes can see. Friendly staff and delicious breakfast.
Hope to visit in the near future, for a longer stay.
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.
