We missed some information about the area. Walks around the property, activities, Dinner and Lunch recommendations etc. They do offer dinner or/and lunch in the hotel on prior booking.

Crags Country Lodge is a fairly new place outside of Plettenberg. Only 9 rooms, so not too crowded at all. We loved the design and our beautiful room and the views into the mountains. The pool area is a wonderful spot to relax. It is a 15 min drive into Plettenberg town and close to many attractions around Plett including beautiful beaches. Breakfasts were extremely delicious and nicely presented. The staff was super friendly and we even were offered a really good flat white coffee.

The mountain view is so peaceful and relaxing to watch from the terrace. The staff was extremely thoughtful and the room is modern with all the comfort you can wish for.

We were recommended this place a year ago by an english couple in St Francis. We have just stayed here for 2 nights and we have now already booked for Nov 25 and March 2026. We stay at some lovely places along the Garden route and this is one of the best. Don't bother to go out and eat, have a drink on the terrace and eat in. We stayed 2 nights and ate in both nights. The staff are very attentive and the service is first class - just look at all the reviews! Date visited

We did request almond milk for our coffee at breakfast which they did have for us but there wasnt any in our room for the evenings or before breakfast, that would have been a nice touch.

Location, scenery, staff, and food are all fantastic. Rooms are clean. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Just book, you won't regret it.

A fixed pathway with lights from the rooms to the communal areas and the car park would certainly help especially in the dark. A rail to aid getting in and out of the swimming pool would also be helpful for people with mobility issues. Just a couple of very picky items which certainly aren’t essential but would be an improvement.

The lodge is in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The lodge massively exceeded our expectations and the online pictures do not do it total justice. The lodge was completed approximately 2 years ago to a very high standard. It is a superb accommodation for total relaxation. The communal areas are designed and furnished once again to a very high standard. Fabulous grounds with the added bonus of a swimming pool and exceptionally comfortable loungers. Room number 1 is extremely comfortable and spacious. A lot of thought has been given to the beautiful decor and furnishings. Breakfast and dinner were both excellent and plentiful. James who is the manager goes out of his way to ensure the satisfaction and enjoyment of his guests. His wife is the Chef and is extremely talented. Given the overall quality of the lodge it represents excellent value for money. it We will not hesitate to return.

You're a little out of Plett, which is no issue if you drive, but it does make taxis a little more expensive.

Pretty much everything. The room was immaculate. House keeping was ridiculous (in a great way!) - you seemed to leave the room for a moment and when you came back in everything was made and immaculate. All the staff, without exception, could not have been more helpful and sincere. The back drop of forest covered mountains is just beautiful. Breakfast was comprehensive and the menus, with their personal touch (you'll find out when you visit), just added that little bit extra. Class accommodation where everyone is working hard to ensure you have the best stay possible. Highly recommend.

The Lodge was amazing. Everything was brand new, so stylish and very thoughtful. The service was amazing and everyone went out of their ways to make the stay perfect. Such a lovely place!

If I could rate this higher than 10, I would. Every aspect surpassed our already high expectations. James has exceptional knowledge of wines and we really enjoyed spending time with him. The staff all go above and beyond to create personal experiences for us and it felt as if we were the only guests. The views are absolutely unparalleled in the area along with the landscaping and the design of the hotel. The two dogs were another highlight for us, we loved how happy they always were. A hotel with dogs and no children is possibly the best combination for us.

The place is absolutely beautiful and very clean. The staff is very friendly and always willing to assist.

This is a stunning place to stay, just outside of Plett. The staff could not do more to make you feel at home and assist you, especially Siso. And the quality of the food is exceptional. Would 100% recommend

We loved it all, from the smallest of touches, to the big ticket items, there was noting not to like.

Exceptional, a true delight, one of the very best boutique hotel experiences we have had in all our travels. Go, stay, unwind, you will not be disappointed. And dont bother about booking dinner anywhere else - each night was a feast, and the wine list is spot and, balanced and compliments both food and location.

That we had to leave.

This is the most wonderful place. The setting is idyllic, the food is excellent and the staff are so welcoming and friendly. Everyone here went the extra mile for us and it made our stay wonderful. The lodge has a warm feel that really was a home away from home.

Wow - what a magical experience! Hands down the best hospitality I have ever experienced. Apart from the gorgeous aesthetic, the setting and service felt intentional. Everything from the people, to the food and the property itself - you can feel that it is all a labour of love. If you’re after beautiful sunrises, warm sunsets or simply want to star gaze.. you will be pleasantly surprised by the magnificent views all round. Thank you very much to everyone that made my stay as magical as it was - I will be sure to visit again!

Everything was great

We spent two absolutely fantastic days at the lodge. It is situated on a hill, so you can enjoy a great panoramic view and wonderful sunsets every day. Everything is beautifully and modernly furnished. The food, wine selection and coffee were also fantastic. The location directly on the N2 means you can get to the Tsitsikamma in around half an hour. The lodge is therefore a very good starting point for hikes. Last but not least, we would also like to praise James and the entire staff: they really went out of their way to make sure that we had a fantastic stay.
