Our most wonderful nature stay in Tsitsikamma
Pros:

The location, the coziness of the chalet, the fireplace and the jacuzzi bath. The icing on the cake for us was the amazing staff and their willingness to go the extra mile for their guests. It made me so proud as a South African to experience that true African welcome. I will most certainly come back again.

Cons:

Nothing.

Despite some minor plumbing and kitchen limitations, this cozy nature retreat offered incredible hospitality and a luxur
Pros:

From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the incredible hospitality; the reception team was welcoming, the restaurant staff was fantastic, and even the outdoor crew paused their work to offer to carry our luggage. If you love nature and need an escape from the city's hustle and bustle, this peaceful property is the ultimate retreat, complete with fun trails to explore. Our loft cabin was the perfect blend of cozy and luxurious for a winter getaway, equipped with air conditioning and a gorgeous indoor fireplace. We had brought our own wood, but were thrilled to find a chest already fully stocked with wood, matches, and fire lighters for both the indoor and outdoor fires, plus the bar fridge had plenty of space for our groceries. To top it all off, the buffet breakfast at the restaurant was absolutely amazing—this was hands down the best experience ever and we will no doubt be back!

Cons:

While our overall stay was amazing, there were a few minor plumbing issues and missing amenities that could really elevate the experience. The main drawback was the weak water pressure; the toilet flushed incredibly slowly, we couldn’t use the bathroom basin tap and the bath simultaneously, and it took over an hour just to fill up the spa bath. As a suggestion for future improvements, it would be wonderful if the loft cabins were equipped with their own plates, cutlery, and a microwave. If you are braaing outside, having a way to easily reheat leftovers or prep food inside the cabin would be a game-changer. Addressing these quick fixes would turn an already great getaway into an absolutely flawless one!

I have always thought that Tsitsikama Lodge was an upmarket establishment
Pros:

Location - on the N2

Cons:

Dinner was acceptable - not great. Yes, the area was battered by the recent storms - but one month later, garden lights are not operational and makes it difficult to navigate in the dark

The views. Everything was close by.

Not for winter, way too humid inside chalet
Pros:

The chalet is spacious, the TV works well, and the shower has good water pressure (although the bathtub couldn't be used due to the current water shortage). Breakfast was decent, though nothing exceptional. There are several nice walking trails starting directly from the property. Secure parking is available, towels are provided, and the chalet includes a kettle with tea and coffee. The small terrace overlooking the forest is lovely, and there is a barbecue available, although you'll need to bring or buy all the necessary supplies. Please note that there is no washing machine.

Cons:

The main downside was the strong smell of dampness throughout the chalet. The bed was broken, uncomfortable, and too small for two adults. Light insulation was poor, the carpet was dirty, and the staff were not particularly welcoming. We believe this chalet is better suited for summer, as the winter humidity made the whole place feel damp, sticky, and quite uncomfortable.

Overall a lovely stay and very beautiful accommodation.
Pros:

It’s a beautiful lodge and well maintained. The cabin was comfy with all needed items. The spa bath tub was a real bonus with enough hot water to enjoy it. Loved our stay!

Cons:

I pre-ordered a snack platter via email as it was my husbands birthday but upon arrival the snack plate had not been delivered and no mention of it was made. That was a little disappointing. However I didn’t complain about it as I was meant to pay upon check in and we weren’t very hungry so decided just to leave it.
