Providing garden views, Stanley Island in Plettenberg Bay provides accommodation, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a private beach area, a restaurant and a bar. Free WiFi is provided.

Stanley Island is a true hidden gem! Every moment of our short stay was magical, from the ferry trip, the beautiful, peaceful decor in the rooms to walking under the twinkling lights on the pathways for our delicious dinner at Stowaway restaurant! We will definitely be back! (PS - the photo's cannot capture the beauty of this island, you need to see it for yourself)

The Emily Moon River Lodge is made up of secluded lodges which are all individually decorated. The property is 7 km from the lush green areas of the Roberg Nature Reserve.

The whole place was stunning, the vibe of the hotel and restaurant was amazing-there's a two month wait list for the restaurant- so you know it's good (guests of the hotel get automatic seats!). You can canoe straight onto the river outside, there's two nice pools and the views from the rooms are just stunning. Each morning the owner greeted us with advice on where to go and what to do - adding a personal touch. We loved it and didn't want to leave.

With Goose Valley Golf Club reachable in 14 km, Knysna Elephant Park Lodge provides accommodation, a restaurant, a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace.

A superb location with stunning elephants, amazing staff and a beautiful garden. I would probably stay here in preference to other places near Plett, as we love elephants. Our room opened on to a communal, comfortable lounge which was open to the sleeping quarters of the elephants so we could observe their comings and goings at night. my wife loved it! An extra bonus! The staff are truly amazing. They are friendly and helpful, and the place is immaculate. The research staff are helpful and quite willing to share their knowledge without being indulgent. Management is never visible and everything runs like clockwork. Well done to them for their training and motivation of the staff from reception to housekeeping, gardening, guiding and restaurant staff. You are sad when you check-out ! A home from home !

Located in Plettenberg Bay and a 2-minute walk from the beach, The Robberg Beach Lodge offers luxury accommodation with Indian Ocean, garden or Robberg Nature Reserve views.

The location is perfect for access to the beach. We were booked into a garden room which was comfortable and clean. However, please note that privacy is a problem if the adjoining room is occupied as the balcony is a shared one with a little wooden panel separating the two rooms. The staff were friendly and attentive and the breakfasts were excellent.

    Breakfast was outstanding in choice and quality and was served in a beautiful light and sunny room. Staff were next level and made one feel like the only person staying at the lodge with their friendly, yet professional manner. The dinners at all of the restaurants was beautifully presented and of exceptional quality. A wide variety of facilities and services available to guests. Lovely walks on the property. Location was secluded enough to offer serenity and relaxation yet within close enough proximity to all the local attractions.

    The unique experience and oppertunity viewing the elephants at night and at rest as well as the interaction with them and the guides. The rooms were pristine, warm and comfortable. The lodge was very accommodating with any special requests! Rhe Cafè was comfi and the food was good. The kids could enjoy the ducks and swans and the play area while we relaxed. A great family lodge!

    Staying at the Knysna Elephant Lodge cannot be summed up in mere words such as awesome, wonderful, enchanting, spiritual. It was so magical to feed, walk with and observe these majestic land animals 24/7! The grounds were beautiful, the staff and guides fantastic and of course the elephants. Both my travel partner and I felt that if we didn’t have family and obligations back home, we would have stayed on and volunteered. It was that phenomenal of an experience!

    The highlight of our South Africa trip! Emily Moon River Lodge is an amazing property with the coolest boho decor and incredible lodges. We couldn't get over the views!! Grant was the friendliest host, reserving us a table at the popular Simon's Bar for pizza and live music, and recommending lots of things to do in the area. Wish we could have stayed longer!

    Beautiful lodges with spacious tastefully furnished rooms. The open kitchen is equipped with basic kitchen utensils and condiments. Large outdoor barbecue area. The highly recommended restaurant serves quality dishes and remarkably creative cocktails in a private athmosphere. There is plenty of opportunity for adventures on the island and it's surrounding river. The ferry to take people on and off the island works well on a 15min notice period. There indeed are Zebras roaming the island which are curious and friendly.

    - the lodge is located in a natural paradise; directly on the Bitou River, very quiet and idyllic - rooms are nicely furnished and clean, except for the bathroom, which seemed a bit uninspired - Kerry, the hostess, was eager to give good tips and booked tables in restaurants for us in the evening as well as organizing a great safari
