    Beautifull and quiet place, but still close to the city and all activities. At night you see the most beautifull stars. Staff was really nice.

    We booked one of the holiday homes and had a lovely time. Well equipped, cosy but spacious. As it was a cold weekend, the fireplace came in very handy. A lot of firewood was supplied and they filled it up again the next day. Lovely farm atmosphere, exactly what we wanted. Very friendly dogs and donkeys. Thank you Charlene for the warm and friendly welcome.

    The fact we only had one night and the morning to explore! Our Planning was out(my mistake,)but next time we will make it longer.

    The scenery was beautiful, wish we could stay longer. Definitely going back. The family house was super spacious and my family loved the fireplace. Everything is to dream for and the owners and staff were amazing and super friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was amazing. Beautiful dogs. Swimming pool is nice and clean. Thank you very much Chris and Jenny for having us

    It's absolutely amazing. Farmstay style, but it's just so idyllic. The kind of place you want to stay for weeks not days. Clean, spacious, great facilities. Booking.com doesn't do this justice, it far exceeded what we thought we booked. 😂

    Loved the space, location and facilities. Great value too. Dirt track to access which may be a struggle with smaller vehicle. Would have preferred to be located closer to the main facilities with family than having to walk through the farm/park at another location up the road. Would be useful to understand the layout a little better at booking stage. That said, the setup is brilliant and the owners can’t be faulted as have thought of everything, from the range of kitchen utensils to the services offered in-house. Breakfast was great too! Would stay again.

    12/10 overall. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by friendly staff and taken to our accomodation. This accomodations photos do not do it justice.The house was in excellent condition and was even prettier in person. The house had everything we needed and more. Attention to detail was fantastic. Clean and well kept facilities. This place had everything we needed including spices and wood and even coffee, tea,sugar,milk,rusks.We were blown away by this place. The road in was in great condition and I would highly recommend coming here. The braai are was lovely and swimming pool is crystal clear.

    Everything suited us perfectly.

    The accommodation is a slice of tranquil, lush green paradise. The owners and staff are exceptionally kind and welcoming, and we were so sorry to leave! We travelled as a couple. However, the lodges would be perfect for a big family get-together. I'm so sorry we live in the UK!

    Everything. As simple as this. This is an amazing place: lovely farm style B&B around 20 minutes from Plettenberg Bay and many attractions. The B&B is run by a lovely, extremely friendly family. The whole atmosphere is very relaxed, the garden is amazing (I want every single plant there!), the houses lovely and special, their animals are very sweet…it‘s just a perfect place to relax, enjoy the peace. It is also very family friendly and they love children ❤️

    The flies! Makes sense that there are so many flies on a working animal farm but I just didn't think about it when booking. Ended up buying an electric fly seater for inside our room

    Overall there is nothing we didnt like and will certainly be back. A small note to future visitors is drive slowly as there are cows being herded in the area.

    The pool area is beautiful and the property/bungalows are well kept. The breakfast spot on the property is wonderful. A carefully placed assortment of goodies are laid out for an enjoyable breakfast, and the ginger coconut bread Jenny made was fabulous. Perfect spot away and only 20 mins from Plett town for beach and restaurants.

    It would have been great if there was a separate kiddies’ pool or splash pool for young children, as the existing pool is quite intimidating for smaller kids. Adding a shallower option would make the experience more inclusive for families with babies and toddlers.

    The country setting was lovely, with beautiful landscaping and a clean, well-maintained environment. The staff were polite and thoughtful, and the breakfast was clearly well-planned and satisfying. The unit was equipped with excellent resources, making it comfortable and convenient for our stay.
