’n Plek waar jy jou siel kan vind!

Stunning lodge met die lekkerste kos en vriendelikste personeel - ‘n ware juweel op die tuinroete! Jy kan net afskakel en niks doen nie of kies om een van die vele aktiwteite te doen. Ons het dit gelove!

A place where you can find your soul!

Stunning lodge with the tastiest food and friendliest staff - a real gem on the garden route! You can just switch off and do nothing or choose to do one of the many activities. We loved it!

Interesting, sorry so far from the sea.

The staff are excellent, but limited dinner options are disappointing for such an expensive place. Also, I would prefer buffet breakfast.

Absoluut verskriklik.

Daar was die hele tyd vlieë. As jy slaap in die middae, is daar 10 vuil vlieë wat op jou gesig kom sit. Die eienaar beweer dit is net partykeer wat dit gebeur, maar die staf in die restaurant het bevestig dit is permanent die geval. Ons het koue water gehad in ons geyser. Die plek is kilometers van die see af en as ons dít geweet het, het ons nie gegaan nie. Hulle het die mak perde vir Duitsers gegee en my familie op wilde perde wat hulle in die veld gevang het, gesit My vrou het ernstige rugbeserings opgedoen ná sy van die perd geval het. My dogter se vriendin en die guide het ook afgeval. Met ander woorde drie van die vyf mense in die groep het afgeval. Ons het duidelik vir hulle gesê ons is beginners, maar hulle het die groep op 'n roete geneem en galop soos professionele mense. Die mense by die plek weet nie wat hulle doen nie.

Just awful.

There were flies all the time. When you try to take a nap in the afternoon 10 flies try to sit on your face. The owner claimed this is only the case sometimes, but the restaurant staff confirmed that it's like that all the time. Our geyser had cold water. The place is kilometres from the beach. Had we known that, we wouldn't have booked here. They provided the tame horses to the Germans to ride, and to my family they provided wild horses which they caught in the field. My wife sustained serious back injury after falling off one of the horses. My daughter's friend and the guide also fell off. So 3 of the 5 in the group fell off. We made it clear to them that we are beginners, yet they took the group on a route and galloped like professionals. The people there don't know what they're doing.

Geheime wegbreek!

Wat 'n beeldskone plek. Die natuur is ongelooflik. Die stap langs die strand tot by Klippepunt 'n hoogtepunt. Die perde is so mooi en gee jou 'n nostalgiese gevoel. Die kos is ontsettend lekker, die blyplek was skoon en goeie gehalte. Vang gerus met jou geliefde 'n lang bad met 'n vuur wat kraak in die agtergrond met 'n lekker glas rooiwyn in jou hand. Sal beslis aanbeveel vir enige iemand wat net uit die hustle en bustle van die stad wil kom.

Secret getaway!

What a beautiful place. Nature is amazing. The walk along the beach to Klippepunt is a highlight. The horses are so beautiful and give you a nostalgic feeling. The food is extremely tasty, the accommodation was clean and of good quality. Feel free to take a long bath with your loved one with a fire crackling in the background with a nice glass of red wine in your hand. Would definitely recommend to anyone who just wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Beautiful setting, very friendly staff, lovely food

One negative was that I found the mattress quite hard and did not like the plastic pillows. It would also be nice if one could just order a sandwitch for lunch, instead of having to order a picnic. On the other hand, the horse riding excursion was very reasonably priced and absolutely fantastic!!

Goeie keuse in rustige omgewing.

Claire (die "hostess") is baie goed. Die ontbyt die oggend was van hoogstaande gehalte. Dit is definitief die 4 sterre werd wat dit "gerate" word. Ons sal weer soontoe gaan.

Good choice in peaceful surroundings.

Claire (the "hostess") is very good. The breakfast in the morning was of high quality. It is definitely worth the 4 stars it is "rated". We will go there again.
