Moonshine on Whiskey Creek

Magical treehouse, beautiful surroundings and amazing host. There was even a sauna with lovely views. Should have stayed longer!

Wunderschön eingerichtetes Haus mit vielen geschmackvollen Details (Mosaik-Dusche! angenehme Beleuchtung, schöne Bilder, gut bestücktes Bücherregal, auch mit ein paar Kinderbüchern). Es gibt eine überdachte Veranda mit Braai-Feuerstelle und einen gemütlichen Ofen im Wohnzimmer. Man kann direkt von der Unterkunft einen schönen Wanderweg hinunter zu einem Fluss und Wasserfall wandern. Spielplatz, Pool und Badehaus mit Panorama-Sauna machen den Aufenthalt perfekt.

Das Gelände liegt direkt an der N2, dadurch ist es gut erreichbar, aber man hört doch etwas den Straßenlärm.

It’s a beautiful nature setting!

Amazing place. Love the hike to the waterfall. Cozy cabin and fireplace.

Bed in bushpig was on the soft side.

Quaint forest location, good facilities for kids

Not clean and the staff walked into our property while we were there

Fantasy forest setting - cosy cabin, very well equipped and amazing setting!

The view of the mountains are incredible! The hike is amazing but tough and would recommend to families with older kids - it’s very steep - but so beautiful. The sauna is lovely and feels like a special spa with the best sunset view. The cottage is well equipped and in the cold weather we were grateful for the cozy fireplace and heated bed warmers. The pool, playground and lawn games are also great for outdoor activities!

Wat een plek is dit. De meest idyllische boomhutjes die met oog voor detail zijn ingericht. Het uitzicht is werkelijk fenominaal, net als alle faciliteiten. Je bent een met de natuur op slechts een steenworp afstand van het heerlijke Plettenberg. Highlight van onze trip en we komen zeker terug!

Mozzies, maar dat is natuur.

We had such a lovely stay at Moonshine on Whiskey Creek. What really stood out to us was how beautiful and thoughtfully put together everything is—the space feels both comfortable and well equipped, without losing that sense of being somewhere special. The views from the cabin are absolutely stunning and create such a peaceful atmosphere. We especially appreciated how friendly and approachable the staff and owners were, along with clear and easy communication throughout. It made the whole experience feel relaxed from start to finish. There’s a great balance of facilities and experiences available, which we really enjoyed. The pool area is perfect for warmer days, while the sauna is a real highlight—warm, inviting, and a nice way to connect with others. We also loved having our own braai facilities (gas and wood) and a cozy fireplace, which made it easy to settle in and enjoy both the afternoons and evenings. Another standout for us was the natural beauty of the property, especially the hike to the waterfall—it’s a truly special feature that adds to the overall charm of the place. Overall, it offers everything you could want and more, with a great mix of comfort, beauty, and thoughtful touches throughout.

Nothing

We stayed in Tree Frog cottage, as a couple, since we like to have some space. Everything you would need in the kitchen, as well as 2 braai's (on gas and wood) was there. We were a bit unlucky with the weather, but the cottage has a wood stove as well as an electric heater. Also, there is an electric mattress heater on the double bed and extra blankets. The pool area was really nice, and a bit of a surprise since it is not advertised very much.

When we arrived, it was very warm inside. The cottage has no air-conditioning and no insect/mosquito screens on the windows - so you end up opening windows to het the heat out which also means a mosquito hunt afterwards. The bed could be longer, if you're over 1.95 tall, you'll have difficulty keeping your feet under the blanket and warm.

This is one of the most beautiful locations I have stayed at in a very long time. It was peaceful and tranquil which made it absolutely perfect for a quiet get away

The most stunning location, peaceful and lush, just a ten minute drive from Plett central. The cabin is completely private, comfortable, and beautifully decorated with the most amazing balcony views. We adored the unique mosaic shower with stain glass windows. Our host Carol was helpful and responsive when we had questions or needed recommendations.

Being a cabin in the forest, there were (naturally) spiders. Fortunately they are the non poisonous type.

Fabulous location - felt like you were living in the treetops

You have to accept that this is essentially a ‘tree house’ we loved it but it may not be for everyone. Maybe a little expensive given the inevitable trade off between location/view and rustic/convenience. It was in such a fabulously quiet location that the person in the valley below with a petrol strummer was an audible intrusion on occasions.

Wir haben in einem sehr gemütlichen Bungalow übernachtet, welches einem das Gefühl gibt mitten im Wald zu sein. Die Aussicht ist klasse und der Pool läd zum entspannen ein. Das Bett ist sehr bequem und wenn es mal kälter wird steht eine sehr moderne Sauna zum entspannen ein.

The view, the little details, the sauna and the hike around.

Quite a few mosquitos but they provide spray for you which is awesome !

Lovely cabin looking out over forest. Well equipped and with helpful staff.

The walk down to the creek and natural pool were unfortunately too steep for us..

Everything

Nothing

Heel sfeervol ingericht met een grote gezellige veranda en ruime besloten tuin. Zowel binnen als buiten een hout haard.

Style, immersion nature, ballade et nage à la cascade , confort. Installation espace détentes piscine & sauna.

Malgré le retrait, on entend les passages de véhicules sur la N2. Pas de contact ! Juste des messages.

Le sauna et la piscine

Grosse araignée dans le logement. La cabane était froide. Supplément pour faire un feu ! Absence de personnel

Everything!

Nothing!

The family cottage was perfect for our family of 4 - the stoep was our favourite - lazy afternoons and a cozy fire at night. We loved the combo of being out in the country but being able to enjoy the beach as well.

Nothing

Beautiful, well equipped cabin, lovely pool area and a fabulous new sauna room with a view! Great walks and forest views.

We loved the location, being deep in nature and the privacy of the cottage

We found the cottage itself to be not so clean when we arrived but this was quickly sorted when we brought to their attention. The inside lounge wasn’t very comfortable and the couch needs a deep clean.

Nice and quiet, relaxing

Maybe add some Tupperware or storage containers

Location has no equal.

Nothing.

Alles! Es war ein Traum! Unsere Hütte war wunderschön, sehr sauber und der Ausblick einfach nur toll. Abends kann man auf dem großen Balkon sitzen und die Ruhe genießen. Auch der Pool und Spielplatz waren super und wir haben tolle Tipps für Unternehmungen bekommen. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen :)

Und hat alles gefallen.

Wunderschöner Ausblick in die Wälder. Die Lage des Hauses ist fantastisch. Sehr gutes Bett. Tolle durchdachte Details am gesamten Haus. Sehr individuell.

I don’t even know where to begin, but Moonshine on Whiskey Creek was by far the absolute highlight of all our accommodations during our South Africa trip. After many very busy days, our Bushpig-cabin was exactly what we needed: peace, nature, mountain views, a campfire, and the chance to simply switch off. This place is truly magical, and we only wish our stay had been longer than 4 nights. ☺️ It felt like being in the middle of nowhere, yet everything was just a short drive away. We felt incredibly comfortable, were able to recharge our batteries, watched monkeys playing in the trees from our veranda, and even got engaged at this magical place! It truly couldn’t have been more perfect, and we will definitely stay here again on our next South Africa trip—just for longer next time. 🥰

There’s truly nothing not to love about this place—unless you’re the type who screams at a spider the size of a coin. It’s a wild, wonderful cabin-in-the-woods experience, which means nature comes with the nature: the odd insect may sneak in, you’ll hear the nighttime orchestra, and luxury here means mountain views, crackling fires, and peace—not marble bathtubs - If you love the outdoors, you’ll be in heaven. If you prefer room service and bug-free living… maybe pick a hotel nearby in Plettenberg Bay. 😉

Emplacement en plein nature au calme, belle vue, très bien équipé

J'ai aimé le silence du lieu et l'emplacement. La hôte a su nous mettre à l'aise, les explications étaient super. Parfait pour un séjour en famille.

Spent one night here in Bushpig Lodge and regretted not having booked longer so we could have taken full advantage of the pool and the new sauna which looked great. Lovely clean, well equipped room and nicely decorated lodge with a great deck area with fantastic views and in a great location just outside Plettenberg Bay. Would highly recommend

Traumhafte Unterkunft, der Blick vom Balkon in die Wälder, sauber und sehr schön/geschmackvoll vom Mobiliar bis zum Geschirr eingerichtet. Tolle Anlage mit Pool, Spielplatz und sogar Sauna.

Es ist eine Unterkunft im Wald, deswegen gibt es Spinnen und Mücken. Für Spinnenphobiker daher ggf. nur bedingt zu empfehlen. Ggf Mückenschutz vorm schlafengehen auftragen. Hatte nichts mit Sauberkeit zu tun, die war tipptopp.

De rust en het gevoel van vrijheid

Niets

The cleanliness, and it having everything needed and more. What a gorgeous property.

There was nothing not to like

The chalet with the mountain view was really nice. The kitchen is well-equipped (air fryer...). The hosts were really helpful. The son of the owner helped us to kill a spider The sauna was nice, it can be warm in 1h. The location is really comfortable since it's on the side of the N2.

This was one of the most beautiful places during our vacation. A house in the woods with an amazing view on the foggy nature in the morning. We enjoyed the brand new sauna. For the kids there was a playground and a nice pool. We definitely recommend this beautiful accomodation

Carol was a gracious host, we had a cold night with a baby in the bungalows she moved us into butterfly cottage at no additional charge. Butterfly cottage is absolutely beautiful! Well equipped with modern amenities.

This accommodation is nestled in the forest with a great view over the canopy of the trees. There are load of birds around, and there is a great hike down to the river and a waterfall through the pristine forest which is private for residents only. The accommodation was very comfortable and well appointed, a fancy cosy cabin in the woods. We really enjoyed the fire place in the cool evenings, and a nice touch was the electric blanket. Wake up to the sounds of the birds and enjoy your meals on the balcony with views of the forest.

nothing, everything was great.

Absolutely magical location, nestled in the treetops with a magnificent view over the valley towards the mountains. 'Fly me to the Moon' cottage is charming and rustic, and has everything you need for comfort and an enjoyable stay. Even though our stay was in mid-winter the wood-burning stove is very efficient so it was warm and cosy. It's a place to rest and recharge. Loved listening to the birds and gazing at the stars.

It was ok. Could be better.

First of all,why post the main house photo when it's not where you will be staying. Its nothing to do with what's on offer. It's a little too rustic,could be better. However the little walk on the property is absolutely beautiful. Location is ok. Although we went to do kloofing past Natures Way and we actually got jumped,local kids put ball of clothes in the middle of the dirt road and tried to force stop us and when we didn't,down the road some guy went on his knee and begged us to stop and when we slowed down he tried to open our car door and jumped us,and we sped off, he held onto our car and we actually dragged him nearly 50mtrs before he let go and went rolling down the side road,luckily we have older kids and our son managed to push the guy off when he opened the door.Rookie mistake as we relied on the car auto lock!! Thankfully we're all ok, a little shocked but all ok

Amazing! Tucked away in the forest. Carol was very helpful and kind and Petronella and Elijah were superstars! Love the new look and all the details. It looks absolutely stunning! Thank you...until next time.

It was private and cozy.

An unforgettable stay at Moonshine Whiskey Creek! We had an absolutely wonderful time at Moonshine Whiskey Creek. Nestled in the heart of nature, this beautiful spot is the perfect mix of rustic charm and cozy comfort. The setting is peaceful and lush — ideal for relaxing and reconnecting with nature. Carol and Petronella were amazing hosts. They made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived, and their warmth and friendliness added a special touch to our stay. You can really tell they care about the place and their guests. The cabin was charming, clean, and thoughtfully put together — cozy in every sense of the word. Whether you’re sipping a morning coffee on the deck or stargazing at night, it’s hard not to fall in love with this place. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind, explore, and enjoy a slice of tranquility in South Africa. We’ll definitely be back!

Views, the look and feel of the cottage, privacy, trails, friendly staff, eco-friendly..

The cabin on stilts was cozy and charming and the braai area with fairy lights was beautiful. Linens, towels, and robes were lovely. It’s a beautiful setting within the forest.

Traffic noise but it’s wonderful that you can’t see any cars.

The cabin was located in the forest and felt really wild. There were a few hiking trails you can take just from the cabin. We did not expect that some of the would be so wild but we loved it. We didn't have neighbors nearby so it felt really private. The location was convenient, only 15 min driving from Plettenberg Bay. Nearby there are a few sanctuaries with animals worth visiting. Outside of the cabin we had a fire pit. We had a bonfire one night. It was unforgettable.

If you are afraid of wilderness it might be not for you. If feels like sleeping in a jungle. Some bugs and insects may show up in in the cabin but nothing harmful. There should be a better net installed around the bed and window because bugs can easily get in there.

We had such a beautiful and comfortable stay—truly a hidden gem set in nature. The accommodation was cosy, especially with the fireplace, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We were pleasantly surprised to find electric blankets too, which made the chilly night so much more comfortable. It was lovely in every way, and we’ll definitely be back again!

A lovely house in the trees, with a view. Quiet, cosy, stylish and comfortable. Great veranda to sit out on, and eat or read. Very convenient for the beautiful Garden Route. We wish we could have stayed longer. All the houses on the property are well separated from each other and not overlooked.

Beautiful accommodation nicely situated in the Crags close to all the animal attractions. We stayed in the Vervet suit which was beautifully decorated and had a lovely balcony overlooking the forest with a lounge suite, table and gas braai. The kids loved the built in bunk beds. Absolutely loved our stay there.

This was a magical place and so much to do at the property. The staff were very helpful and we enjoyed it thoroughly!

Tucked away in the mountains, Moonshine on Whiskey Creek is a true gem. The setting is stunning with charming cabins that offer all the comforts of home, and then some. If you love nature, the peaceful forest trail leading to the waterfall and lake is a highlight as well as a stunning pool and play area for the littlies. The views are spectacular, making it hard to leave the porch. The hosts were top class, thoughtful and attentive, even checking ahead of time with perfect directions. To top it off the bed was incredibly comfy and wifi exemplary. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway.

The views from bed were absolutely magical! The cottage was really cute and felt like staying in a treehouse.

Pack light! The walk down to the cabin (and back up) with luggage is significant.

Like staying in a tree house in the middle of a forest 💫 perfect, private and beautiful 🌟

The decor was really beautifully curated and the view from the deck of the cabin was superb. The pool was also perfect for a dip on the hot day I was there.

Nice cottages in the woods. Room size ok, clean.

Beautiful location, close to town, nice views from the cottage, nice sized, kid friendly!

It’s so tranquil and close to nature. It really was the sweetest escape.

Natural beauty.

Comfortable bed , cosy , nature setting , lovely pool , good shower

Absolutely lovely cabin tucked away in the woods. Just beautiful.

The cottage was well equipped and very neat. The view of the valley through the trees was incredible. There was also a cute braai area with string lights and two chairs (I wish we packed some meat). There is also a pool and an awesome hike down to a waterfall.

Totally my fault, I know, but it wasn't in Nature's Valley, as we had planned. Therefore, our activities were limited to the hiking trail on the property. The only other complaint I have is that the property is close to the N2, so you hear vehicles at the cottage.

The tranquility

Missed not having a microwave
