Está bien mantenido, el personal es muy amable y los habitaciones son muy acogedoras. .
Molto carina e ben curata. Ottima la colazione.

We loved the old implements, the amazing garden and the fact that it was exactly where we wanted to be. Loved every second we spent here!
There was nothing we didn’t like. Everything was fantastic!
Breakfast was great. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful.
- goeie ligging - vriendelijke mensen
- alles erg verouderd
Herzliches Personal, tolle Unterkunft und sehr gutes Frühstück! Gerne wieder.
It was very clean, friendly staff and amazing games for the whole family. It is a beautiful location.
The shower was either too cold or too hot.
Lovely outdoor space to be able to sit and chat to other guests. Had a lovely fire over the Braai pit Andy the cat ❤️ Staff were very nice and friendly Room was clean
Shared fridge was filthy which affected our cooking plans Rooms and bathroom slightly outdated
The whole setup for our big family was very accomodating, enough space and delicious breakfast. Lots of entertainment for the kids.
The outside basins was a bit dirty.
Een mooie verzorgde tuin.
Oud gebouw . Klemende deuren. Geen lekker zitje buiten. Erg antiek allemaal.
The quietness and comfort of the bed
The overall facial presentation Some little painting and face lifting can help
Staff
It’s very different from the Photos. Needs to be better maintained
Room was nice and spacious. The common area was really fun and we enjoyed playing with the board games. Staff was really nice and prepared us a wonderful breakfast in the morning. Location is spectacular, walking distance to all restaurants and pubs. A lot of adventurous activities in the area as well.
Great home-made breakfast. Comfortable room. Very nice location with some dinner options around.
Nothing comes to mind
Vriendelijk personeel!
Veel oude en viezige meubels! Geen airco, stond wel aangegeven in de beschrijving, er was enkel een ventilator aanwezig.
Central location and close to all the restaurants and bars. Excellent staff in particular Rita who was a font of information and very caring as my wife was not feeling 100%. An authentic atmosphere and very tranquil.
Could do with a little attention to the general appearance of the property and the interior of the rooms.
I previously stayed at this establishment a couple of years ago and had a very positive experience, including clean, modern family rooms and a good breakfast that was included in the rate. Based on that experience, I chose to book in here again. Unfortunately, this recent stay was extremely disappointing. The rooms I was allocated this time (Yellowood and Sunshine) or something were in very poor condition. They had damaged and outdated cupboards visible at the entrance, an unpleasant musty smell, and old carpets. The bedding and décor were also worn and unappealing, making the rooms feel neglected and uncomfortable. In contrast to my previous stay, these rooms felt poorly maintained and far below the standard I expected. In addition, the price of R220 per person, for breakfast, is excessive considering the condition of the rooms. On my previous visit, breakfast was included in the rate, which made the value for money far better than what was offered this time. The only positive aspect of my stay was the friendly and helpful staff member at check-in. Unfortunately, this was not enough to compensate for the poor room quality and overall experience. I regret to say that, based on this visit, I will not be booking at this establishment again unless significant improvements are made.
Location was perfect. Love that we could walk to the black water tubing and conveniently restaurants as well.
The rooms need a renovation. The unit we stayed before with the kitchen and living room was new and very comfortable. The rooms we stay now was a bit out dated. But clean and comfortable still.
Emplacement Espaces extérieurs Jeux dans les parties communes L’accueil avec la première personne était très appréciable!
Établissement vieillissant L’arrière de notre chambre donnait sur les espaces des femmes de ménages donc pas très jolie vue et manque d’intimité Un seul petit ventilateur pour toute la chambre Prix du petit déjeuner pas clair, changé quand on redemande… penser à l’anticiper la veille, le matin même il vous accepte difficilement
The breakfast was out of the books. Verry nice and delicious. Well prepared.
Excellent location, hearty breakfast and farm like feel.
Friendly receptionist and central location
Our unit, The "Otter" is priced as a Family Room but should be for backpackers. Surprizingly had 2 bathrooms but both was dirty and in serious need of maintenance and paint. The shower does not drain properly and is very slippery. The towels were old and ragged. No fitted sheet on beds, only bed sheets. Old worn out pillows. The carpet was dirty. The whole room was covered in dust. No fridge, no glasses or any cutlery. The curtains were poorly hanged. The room is dark and musty with a view of the washing line. We didn't opt for the breakfast because we could get a full English breakfast for half the price acroos the road. The communal kitchen appliances were old and dirty. Old scraped and burnt pans with no utencils. Tin plates and mugs. Dirty dishes in the basin. The couches were old and needed reupholstering. The braai was used as a community ash tray
Как будто вы побывали в гостях у бабушки) Старый дом, старинная мебель
Запах в номере. Бабушка не самая чистоплотная, если вы понимаете о чем я.
Sí que estaba limpio
Como en otros comentarios sí que había un olor que se nota más cuando sales de la habitación y vuelves a entrar. Las fotos son más bonitas de lo que realmente es
Immersa nella natura, accogliente e in ottima posizione per visitare le attrazioni della zona
Sehr nettes Personal. Frühstück ist gut und in der Umgebung sind fußläufig mehrere Restaurants. Die Zimmer sind sehr einfach und etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
We stayed here as a group of three and had a pleasant experience. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and well equipped with the basics we needed. Check-in was easy and the space worked well for our stay. Overall a good choice and good value for money.
Nothing
Beautiful Garden and very friendly and helpfull stuff during the day. Breakfast was good. the lodge is very good located. Restaurants and small shops in close walking distance.
The room smelled weird. Wooden Toilette seat was more than used and broke. Super unhygienic. what does it cost to change it into a plastic seat? The night was horrible, guests were partying till 2 am infront of the rooms. We were with our Baby and couldn‘t sleep. No security/stuff who cared. We had to tell them to be quiet but didn’t help. The fridge in the shared kitchen is very dirty and unhygienic. The expirience was more like a party-Hostel stay, but for too much money.
Kids loved the chess board, games at the entertainment area. Location was perfect, could walk to at least 6 restaurants in the area. Really prime location
Wifi not the best. Showers would go either on hot or cold. No microwave or fridge the rooms. Communal fridge was packed. Only given 1 set of towels on arrival, no fresh towels were provided after.
Trevlig och relativt enkelt boende. Inte särskilt stort vilket gör att det blir personlig stämning. Trevliga och enkla utrymmen för att sitta och umgås. I
Ventilationen på rummet var inte så bra, saknar AC
Good clean accommodation in the centre of the village. Very close to all adventure activities. The room was comfortable and had all amenities required.
There is a communal kitchen The bunk bed is a steel frame and needs some padding to prevent kids from hitting their head.
Staff very friendly, and helpful
The beds are sooooo comfortable, you'd be forgiven for missing a day just to stay in
NA
Walking distance to everything you need Clean, slept so well, great bed
Freundlich, unkompliziert. Perfekt für eine Nacht zum Wandern im Tsitsikama Nationalpark.
Wir hatten das Zimmer neben dem Frühstückssaal, war eher ein wenig laut am Morgen dadurch.
Das Fruehstueck war sehr gut. Es gibt viele Aktivitaeten im Tsitsikamma National Park.
Very friendly staff, our hostess Rita was lovely and so was Tony the cat. The location is great and it was ideal for our walking tour purpose. Restaurants nearby and a very safe feeling in the vicinity. Breakfast was great.
The bathroom is a bit dated but we had two so hey no complaining! That was a real plus
Sehr gute Lage, man kann in einem kleinen Laden einkaufen, spazieren gehen, joggen. Restaurants hat es. Man ist mit dem Auto schnell im Tsitsikamma und beim Big Tree.
Nähe zum Nationalpark und anderen Stationen für Unternehmungen
Zugänglichkeit der Zimmer vom Parkplatz aus gestaltet sich sehr schwierig da kein Weg vorhanden ist der mit schweren Koffern ohne große Umstände zu bewältigen ist.
Great location, SUPER friendly staff, very pleasant place to stay, parking
everything was great, it was simple and clean
Tranquille
A wonderful accommodation in an idyllic location in Storms River. The rooms are very clean and come with an electric blanket, which is very cozy after a hike. The hosts are lovely people and extremely helpful. I felt very comfortable during my stay and would recommend this place to anyone visiting Storms River.
Staff was really nice and friendly! We liked andy the cat. Room was spacious
The room itself, is very outdated (does not look like the advertised photos). We got some stains on the sheets and old towels. In the bathroom there was a sewer smell coming from the shower. Waterpressure of the sink was low
Das Personal ist einfach 10/10 gewesen. Unglaublich herzlich und freundliches Personal! Sehr viel Liebe ins Detail gesteckt, wunderschöner Garten. Leckeres frisch zubereitetes Frühstück
Die Gemeinschaftküche ist nicht gut ausgestattet und lädt nicht unbedingt zum kochen ein. Zimmer sind wie auf den Fotos erkennbar eher einfach.
Locatie was top en het ontbijt was heerlijk.
De ruimtes waren groot, maar niet echt gezellig.
The staff was so friendly The room was super comfy and clean The garden was amazing Breakfast was great Andy the cat was the highlight
Nothing
lage zu den trails im tsitsikamma NP sehr gut. 15 min sehr nettes Team. viele hute lokale fußläufig
ausstattung schon in die jahre gekommen
Hospedagem simples mas extremamente bem cuidada. Fica em uma Vila muito simples e calma e tem um mercadinho ao lado. Possui um jardim muito bonito e area comum para utilizar. Escolhemos a hospedagem pela proximidade com o Tsitsikamma National Park e foi muito bom, porque está realmente muito próximo! Uma gatinha muito fofa chamada Andy é parte do staff e achei muito legal que ao chegar fomos muito bem recepcionados e recebemos um whatsapp com todas as informacoes que eram necessarias. Wi Fi funciona bem e o café da manhã é simples porem satisfatório!
Unico ponto que poderia melhorar é o acesso as tomadas. Tivemos dificuldade para acessar as tomadas de energia que ficavam atras dos moveis.
Location was perfect to be able to walk to all activities , restaurants & pub. The staff were awesome, extremely friendly , very helpful & chatty. Breakfast was cooked to order & lots of table games for families to play.
Personale gentile e colazione ottima.
Great location in the village within walking distance to all shops and cafes. Very safe. Close driving distance to the Suspension Bridge walk
I was on a business trip and the Wi-Fi was extremely poor.
Hotel amplo e espaçoso, excelente para família, o quarto era rústico, mas haviam outras acomodações mais modernas. O café da manhã era bem gostoso/
Nada
Quaint, quirky, friendly, great breakfast and of course Andy the Cat! Beautiful part of the world, nice walk in the forest.

... not welcomed to breakfast

Location Small town vibes Beautiful lodge Everything walkable. Decent restaurant around. Breakfast was good.
Nothing specific.
We had a lovely overnight stay to break our long trip. The lodge was central & the staff very friendly. Parking is available on the grounds, and the breakfast was very good.
All staff super friendly especially the lady at reception and Andy, the boss cat 🐈. Beds super comfortable and extra warm with electric blanket.
