Hidden Gem.

Great stay! The room was fresh and clean. Upon arrival the heaters were already on and warmed up for us. The attention to detail and service was impressive. Be sure to try their homemade pot brood and jam. Quiet, hidden spot in Tsitsikamma made a perfect getaway!

Dit was 'n droom wat waar geword het, ons het die verblyf baie geniet, heerlike etes en vriendelike personeel, veral Britney en Sinobia was baie bedagsaam en wou altyd weet of alles nog okei was. Baie dankie vir 'n heerlike wegbreek, sal beslis weer kom.

Kan nie veel sê nie, behalwe dat dit absoluut wonderlik was, hou van die intieme atmosfeer van die eetkamer en die beddens was hemels om in te slaap. Kamers was ook heerlik warm en niks was te veel moeite vir personeel om ons verblyf so gerieflik moontlik te maak nie. Baie dankie

It was a dream come true, we really enjoyed the stay, delicious meals and friendly staff, especially Britney and Sinobia were very considerate and always wanted to know if everything was still okay. Thank you very much for a lovely break, will definitely come again.

Can't say much other than it was absolutely wonderful, loved the intimate atmosphere of the dining room and the beds were heavenly to sleep in. Rooms were also wonderfully warm and nothing was too much trouble for staff to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Thank you very much

Verskriklik hulpvaardig en gemaklik.

Bespreking het vlot verloop, goeie kommunikasie. Hulle het ons bagasie gehou terwyl ons die Otter gestap het en ons kamers was vroeër reg. Hulle het vir ons 'n padkos ingepak, omdat ons vroeg moes vertrek. Baie behulpsaam en baie vriendelik.

Extremely helpful and comfortable.

Booking went smooth, good communication. They kept our luggage while we walked the Otter and our rooms were ready earlier. They packed lunch bag because we had to leave early. Very helpful and very friendly.

Heerlike, rustige atmosfeer ...

Baie dankie julle vir die gasvryheid. Die ontbyt was uit die boeke! Ek sal egter voorstel dat julle 'n klein yskassie in die kamers plaas, nie almal wil hulle koue kos en drankies in die restaurant se yskas sit nie. Maar weereens baie dankie vir die inligting rondom nabygeleë besienswaardighede, net mense wat daar woon kan werklik "tips" gee van wat die moeite werd is.

Wonderful, peaceful atmosphere ...

Thanks so much for your hospitality. Delicious breakfast! I'd just recommend adding a small fridge to the rooms, everyone doesn't want to put their food and drinks in the restaurant fridge. But again, thanks so much for the info about the surrounding area, attractions, only locals are really able to give worthwhile tips.

Rustige verblyf in die mooie Stormsrivier.

Baie dankie aan Mike. Hy was baie vriendelik en hierdie is 'n lieflike plek met 'n rustige atmosfeer en pragtige oop spasie. Ons kamer, Wagtail, is gerieflik met alles wat jy nodig het en selfs nie 'n TV, so dus stil en rustig. Die Internet was wel beskikbaar en die WiFi het goeie sein. Ontbyt was heerlik en pragtige restaurant area. Baie dankie. Ons het dit werklik geniet en Stormsrivier is 'n pragtige dorpie met oulike plekkies!

Many thanks to Mike. He was very friendly and this is a lovely place with a peaceful atmosphere and beautiful open space. Our room, Wagtail, is comfortable with everything you need and not even a TV, so quiet and peaceful. The Internet was available and the WiFi had a good signal. Breakfast was delicious and beautiful restaurant area. Thank you very much. We really enjoyed it and Stormsrivier is a beautiful village with cute places!

Andelomi is in the most beautiful location.

Our chalet was well appointed and comfortable. The owner, Mike, gave us such a warm welcome and the next morning - the best breakfast we have had in ages. He is a wonderful host and Andelomi is highly recommended.

Aangename verblyf by vriendelike personeel in 'n rustige, dog goed geleë omgewing.

Wat 'n mens die meeste bybly van jou verblyf by Andelomi, is die gasvryheid van Mike (die eienaar). Hy gaan absoluut uit sy pad uit om jou tuis en gerieflik te laat voel. Sy ontbyt is baie lekker en hy is bereid om aanpassings te maak vir voorkeure, asook dieetprobleme. Aandetes is ook op bestelling beskikbaar. Die eenhede word silwerskoon gehou deur 'n baie vriendelike jonge dame. Die enigste punt van kritiek is dalk dat die badkamer bietjie "outyds" en baie basies was. Ons het lekker gekuier en kan die gastehuis aanbeveel vir enige persoon wat 'n lekker oornagplek soek.

Pleasant stay with friendly staff in a peaceful, yet well located environment.

What you remember most about your stay at Andelomi is the hospitality of Mike (the owner). He goes absolutely out of his way to make you feel at home and comfortable. His breakfast is very tasty and he is willing to make adjustments for preferences, as well as dietary problems. Dinners are also available to order. The units are kept spotlessly clean by a very friendly young lady. The only point of criticism might be that the bathroom was a bit "old fashioned" and very basic. We had a great time and can recommend the guest house to anyone looking for a nice place to stay.

Lovely stay. Peaceful and quiet. Stunning!!

We were in Cape Robin and will definitely book it again. Andelomi Forest Lodge is in a stunning location. Close enough to everything to travel in the vicinity to enjoy the beauty of the area. Louise and Mike are lovely hosts and their 2 legged children make you feel at home if you are an animal lover and miss your own. Cannot wait to see what you have done with the place next time round.

Love the fact that there is no TV. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly.

Adverts must advise guests that there is no kitchen, no fridge, no stove, utensils, etc. so that guests can come prepared. We were fortunate to have a cooler box which prevented our food from being spoilt.

'n Pragtige, rustige plek met mooi tuin.

'n Dubbelverdieping is nie geskik vir twee afsonderlike pare nie. Die vloer is nie klankdig nie, dus hoor jy elke tree en geskuif wat bo jou kop plaasvind.
