The property is in a beautiful location, isolated but not too hard to get to from the main road. Beautiful sea views in a tranquil area. I loved my stay here. There are trails to walk on the forest near the property and curious monkeys would show up in the morning to look at our chalet. Food in the restaurant was really good and I’ve also used the spa, which was amazing after a long flight. Staff were fantastic, so friendly and attentive. Wish I had time to stay longer and hope to come back one day. Book without thinking twice.

I loved the place, and the view was breathtaking. The retreat is truly perfect for relaxation and spending a wonderful day away from the city. Everything is available in the villa except for food, so make sure to bring your own. I forgot to bring food, but Chris was amazing — he sent us a restaurant menu, and we ordered pizza, which he personally went to pick up for us. Chris also took us on a drive along the river, sharing stories about the place. At the end of the day, we sat together, chatting and sharing stories, while he played music for us around the fire.

I had an amazing stay at [Hotel Name] in [Location]! Despite the winter cold, the room was cozy with every detail thoughtfully designed. The hotel's atmosphere was inviting, and I loved the activities like the safari and horse riding – they were totally my vibe. A monkey even visited my balcony, and the view with all the animals was incredible. Highly recommend for a unique and enjoyable getaway! حلال كل فلس عليه، الفندق ولا غلطة.

Every staff member was welcoming and thoroughly professional and our luxurious suite was one of the most enjoyable experiences that we have ever experienced in the Western Cape. Thank you for considering our request for a quietly located suite..

Truly an exceptional experience - the lodges are beautiful with incredible views, the landscape is vast and stunning, and getting so respectfully close to the animals was unforgettable: we saw the Big 5 within the first two of our game drives thanks to our great guide Felix, a total pro.

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 .

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 @
