Beautiful tranquil rooms nestled in the hillside overlooking lush forest, fantastic sunrises and a wealth of indiginous animals and birds. Hospitality at it's best beautiful dining and lounge areas and staff for which nothing was too much trouble. Fine dining with views to cherish.

Trogon House and Forest Spa

Trogon House & Forest Spa offers exquisite luxury, suspended in the tree tops of a forest reserve that stretches untamed along the Tsitsikamma mountains and beyond. Elevated into the tree tops, the lodges embrace the forest with see-through glass walls and sky-lit roofs, creating a true "nature forest" experience. What really sets Trogon House apart, is the absolute privacy and exclusivity in the midst of nature's pristine beauty.

Quick break!

Reviewed By Mva2912

Very nice location. Friendly staff. Good food. Basically all that is required for a quick breakaway. Prices on wine the best I have seen on travels. Quality selection! Only issue is the access road if you are travelling with a lowish vehicle. Plan ahead for this.

Awesome family weekend away. The tents had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, the views magnificent and the Couch Potato trail such fun! The Nguni and Impala are lovely to see.. And the hot tubs just add that extra touch.

Tamodi Lodge

Tamodi Lodge & Stables, luxury guest accommodation in Plettenberg bay was created by Lynne and Owen Johnston, their inspiration born out of a love for horses and the natural beauty and biodiversity of the Tsitsikamma coast. Joined by Chelsea, Owen’s daughter, and her husband, Scott, this family-run lodge encompasses everything that a family should ~ peace, relaxation, happiness and love. This passion is reflected in every aspect of the farm, from the carefully designed main house, two free-standing honeymoon suites, the two free-standing luxury suites and stable buildings, which blend with the bush and natural environment. The setting is peaceful and relaxing, offering 7 luxury suites to enjoy and unwind in, it is perfectly positioned for a holiday in the Garden Route. We provide a full breakfast, but suggest lunch and dinner at one of the fine Plett restaurants. Keurbooms beach is just 5 minutes away, where you can enjoy magnificent views over the bay.

We’ll be back! And stay longer!

What an amazing place is the Tamodi Lodge! We were totally surprised by the accommodations and blow away by the comfort and relaxation. I wish I had booked a longer stay this time but will definitely book several days next time we come to SA and use this as a great home base from which to enjoy so many wonderful things South Africa has to offer. Just perfect! And look at that sunrise!! Thank you Chelsea and family for building such a blessed place as the Tamodi Lodge at Plettenberg Bay.

Green Hills Forest Lodge

Green Hills Forest Lodge is self-catering accommodation set on 12 hectares of indigenous forest with lovely views and wild deer that roam freely. An idyllic location in The Crags, the heart of the Garden Route, Western Cape, South Africa. Of particular interest to Birders will be the serenity and active bird life of the forest. The Crags is a beautiful rural area of Plettenberg Bay with budding wine farms, animal sanctuaries and an array of activities for all tastes. Perfectly located and still close enough to kilometers of the golden, sandy beaches of Nature’s Valley, Keurbooms and Plettenberg Bay! After changing hands in May 2017 the new owners Alistair and Sue together with their sons, set about renovating, upgrading and refurbishing the Units. The Lodge then re-opened in September of 2017. There are four loft styled units fully equipped with a kitchenette. Free WiFi is available in all these Units plus Netflix streaming facility. Each unit also has its own outside barbecue area with fire-pit. Or if you prefer to soak up the stars at night in your own private Jacuzzi / Hot Tub and bubble your aches away then Unit 4 - which is the only unit with this facility - is a must!! The latest addition is Unit 5 - The Cottage. This is a quaint and cosy two bedroomed cottage, full of charm and character. Part of it was the original building erected on Green Hills almost a hundred years ago and the main bedroom was once a stable. The Cottage is fully equipped with a kitchenette and is a pet friendly unit with it's own fenced garden. Dogs of all shapes and sizes plus their parents are more than welcome!!

Good but not great

Reviewed By eldineenieman

The property is right next to the N2 - we struggled to sleep with the noise of travelling cars. We also struggled with the basic kitchen equipment supplied - there was no steak dinner knives available.

A luxurious treehouse feel in the forest

Reviewed By Talita R

It felt like we had left reality and did fly to the moon. We spent five nights in this handcrafted cabin; you can see and feel the love that went into building this quirky, cleverly designed space that feels like a luxurious treehouse. Thoughtful and well-equipped, whist crisp, clean linen and the best views. I especially enjoyed lying in our cosy cabin gazing away at the stars. Sue and Anton are experienced and warm hosts; you are sure to enjoy complete privacy and comfort in a safe and immaculately clean, beautiful space.

Lovely people and beautiful house

Reviewed By N3297WPpeterh

We stayed for 1 night as we toured the garden route and the rooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable. The owner and staff were very friendly and breakfast was excellent. The house is situated a couple of km down a gravel road and the nearest place for an evening meal is a good 15 minutes drive away. There is no air conditioning and on the night we stayed the overhead fan in our room did not work. To be fair the owner offered to change our room but we had already settled in at that point. We would definitely stay again
