Lovely old building very well maintained with a modern twist. Possibly the best location in Plettenburg for amazing beach and ocean views and easy access to all the town’s restaurants and shops.

The room was a bit like a luxury micro tel. Very well thought out layout. Smart TV so that you can watch prime or Netflix. Delicious cookies in the room to go with tea or coffee. The shower was delightful. Excellent bath and soap products. Very well decorated. Very friendly staff. The room included a beer tasting - as it is located by the brewery. Excellent location in the Pisang valley

What an excellent idea to book this magical place for one night. Chris the owner, was in Heidelberg by chance, met us and drove ahed of us to the villa. He gave us a great tour around the large property, which was a good idea, because the weather turned for the worse and we wouldn't have seen these beautiful vistas on the day of departure. Chris told us that he and his neighbour take good care of these large parcels of land, which mostly remain off bounds to tourists, are kept in their natural state and all non-indigenous trees are being removed. Our grandkids loved the villa's music-room and the biljart table. We all enjoyed being in this quiet, peaceful property that was filled with the owner's pieces of art, gathered from all or the world. We really felt that we were staying in someone's private home instead of in a holiday rental. Of course, as always, the big mistake was ,only book it for one night...

Our villa was breathtaking, lunch was great, our dedicated game rangers were attentive and well informed and the facilities and reserve overall are wonderful. We wish we could have stayed for more than a night and day (ie we booked lunch, evening game drive, dinner, breakfast, morning game drive). Then we could truly have enjoyed the restful atmosphere and surrounds of the villa. Our children (12 and 8) had never been on a game drive before and loved it. We saw so many animals, including elephant, only missed the lions and leopard. Lovely experience.

It is a beautiful, still developing town by the coast..my family and I enjoyed walking along the beach and seeing fishing activities, people surfing, enjoying some well-known restaurants like Cattle Baron, Spur and other unique ones to the area. There's malls, hotels, caravan parks next to the ocean and we also went to the indoor market, where lots of interesting and beautiful things are sold, from food, to leather bags, to canvases to put on your walls. It is a peaceful, laid back & fun area. For the adventurers, there is zipline.

The pictures of our accommodation were misleading , they give you great pics and when you arrive the room is called a garden view room , it has no view and is up two sets of stairs , hot water took ten minutes to warm up and still was Luke warm , I would never recommended they stay to anyone , even the reception guy stated we were misled , I video recorded my conversation with him . The wilderness itself is stunning and worth the visit

Enjoyed the Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour, the guides were so friendly, had loads of fun! Marilyn's 60's Diner - lovey restaurant definitely worth a visit. Don't forget to visit the Wolf Dog Sanctuary Would love to have spent more time there to explore the hidden gems.

Albertinia is a small country town without the big fast food take aways . Very rural . You can buy the basics at one of the cafes or Pizza place . There is not much as far as shops go so it is a stopover to break a long journey or a week or two of total peace and quite without too many modern day interruptions. There is a braai area and all you could want to have to have an enjoyable stop and a good night's sleep and no rush to get you out in the morning .. I simply bought rolls and cold meat and yogurt at Piet se kafee as I did not want to cook . Coffee is provided although if to a heavy coffee drinker you may want to buy a bit extra as most guest houses only give you enough for two or three cups of coffee . I had a nice chat with the owner who told me about the abundance of underground water and about the area in general...This is not a property where you can come in and drink and party and be a nuisance to others . . No smoking inside the chalets which is excellent @
