Great location
On check-in the room we had booked was not available but we were shown to a very pleasant garden bungalow. We enjoyed dinner on the first night and breakfast each morning was good. The guest house is in the village and close to all the Tsitsikamma attractions which we were able to explore.

Garden setting
The lodge was set in a garden setting, a little back from main road leading from the N2. There is a small restaurant where breakfast is served and a substantial evening meal can be obtained. As we visited in the winter, we found the room to be somewhat cold and damp which was not fully offset by the small stand-alone heater. Electric blankets were provided but I will a little perturbed by the amount of extension leads being used. A recent storm had brought down a large tree in front of our accommodation. This hadn't hit the room but repairs to the connecting path and wall were being carried out while we were in residence. The owners were helpful and courteous and the home cooked meals reasonably priced and filling .

No thank you.
We were very very disappointed by the room as soon as we arrived. We picked the room as it had a balcony, we were not informed however this was a shared balcony, we had no privacy at all for the duration of our trip. We asked for a refund so we could seek accommodation elsewhere as we were so appalled to have to live on top of another couple but we were refused. The rooms had wooden floors and a thin wall, we could hear every footstep, every toilet visit, every conversation, snoring through the night- it ruined our xmas holiday. The room was also very small with no modern amenities or finishings, we travel every month and this is the worst place and the worst value for money we have ever experienced. We stopped in storms river last year and had an amazing time, it is an amazing area so we tried to be away from the room as much as possible- weather permitting. Breakfast was fair, most places in storms river offer an open buffet, we were cooked 2 eggs, tomato and 2 slices of bacon and there was cereal, yoghurt and diced fruit available. (Personally prefer a buffet as we like a big breakfast) Will not be back here.

Tolle Umgebung. Auch das Village war sehr schön und fussläufig zu erreichen. Optimaler Startpunkt um die Kanutour in Tsisikama zu machen. Frühstück war in Ordnung. Es gab ein Buffet mit leckeren Quiches. Leider war alles kalt. Für einen Übernachtungsstop würden wir es wieder wählen

Ficamos apenas uma noite. Acomodações ótimas e staff prestativo (ótima recepção com diversas dicas sobre a cidade e arredores). O lodge em si é uma gracinha e cercado de natureza. Café da manhã ótimo.

Leider war das von uns gebuchte Zimmer durch einen Buchungsfehler am Anreisetag nicht verfügbar und wir mussten in eine kleineres Zimmer ausweichen, aber dafür hat man in einen Preisnachlass gegeben und die Option am nächsten Tag in ein größeres Zimmer umzuziehen. Alles in allem ein sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt, sehr gutes Frühstück, saubere Zimmer , schöne Anlage mit Pool und sehr nettes Personal.

The place is so charming! We had a free upgrade room and could spend our time in a very comfortable and charming room. All the staff is so kind and they care about all the details to make sure nothing is missing! A good breakfast is available, with fresh mix of fruits, juice, yogurt, tea, coffee, breads... many options! We had a great time there!

Convenient and friendly.
We spent two nights here as part of a longer trip. It was comfortable and convenient. However the rooms we had were in an annex and were a little damp and the wifi didn't reach. The staff were hospitable and welcoming and did their best. Fine breakfast. Several adequate eating places nearby. We recommend the Tsitrus Cafe. Convenient for Tsitsikamma
