Lagoon View - Wilderness Bushcamp
My stay was a unique experience. The views from the house were incredible, even better than the pictures advertised. Very easy check in and no issues with getting in and out etc. The only issue we had was that there was a power outage on the second day, but that's to be expected in South Africa. Susan, was great to communicate the issue and progress updates. She even offered us a free extra night if we wanted to stay a little longer. Would love go back one day and I highly recommend this spot.

Sand Cabin: Nima Lodge
We had a fantastic stay at Nima Lodge. The view is absolutely stunning – even more impressive than in the pictures. The lodge itself is beautifully designed, peaceful, and spotlessly clean. We loved how it blends into nature while still feeling modern and comfortable. You can really switch off and unwind here. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a quiet, scenic getaway – we would definitely come back!

Bungalow in the Wilderness Forest
Beautiful zen like surrounding. Peaceful, restful and beautiful birdlife. Lovely two night stay hope to stay longer next time. Thanks Michelle

George Hay 5 (second floor)
We enjoyed our stay and the stunning views from the balcony. The BBQ is amazing and perfect for family. We were also very happy and pleasantly surprised with the size. If you’re as lucky as we were you’ll spot the dolphins from the main bedroom window and balcony.

Family friendly. Near CBD, hospital & Santos beach
Mone is a gem of a host . Absolute attention to detail. Also took time to write a message on the fridge which was very thoughtful. She also went to the extent of leaving a bag of chips , a box of milk , charcoal, fire lighters and even a braai lighter for my use . The is no words to express my gratitude. It felt like home away from home. Thanks again and keep up the fantastic work.

Cape St. Blaize
Deon’s place has a remarkable view of Mossell Bay. We were very impressed by how well outfitted the house is, and we could only wish that we could stay there longer. It is both spacious and well appointed.

Bo-den-See Luxury Glamping Tent
The tent was fabulous. Had everything needed. Hot tub was awesome. It unfortunately rained for the 2 days we were there. The tent did not leak at all. Held up great in the wind - of which there was a lot. Would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it. Sophia was very helpful.

Mountain View Flat
This is our second time stay here and as the first time it was great. Perfect location and very helpful host. Would recommend this place 10/10. We really enjoyed our stay.
