The lodge provides guests with a terrace, mountain views, a seating area, satellite flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge and a dishwasher, and a private bathroom with shower and free toiletries. Some units feature a balcony and/or a patio with river views. Absolutely stunning accommodation and the farm. Not cheap but definitely worth it. Fully self-catered, but very well thought-of and taken care of to the very little detail. All the extras such as beer or wine or extra wood are available in the house or from the farm shop. Rooms are beautiful and beds are super comfortable. Pre-ordered meal boxes are very carefully packed and it’s a real pleasure unpacking them and cooking. Morning safari is done by the host who is very friendly and welcoming. Rhinos and all the animals are there and can’t be missed, kids and adults had such a lot of fun and great time during the whole stay. Definitely highly recommended to all who values good balance of nature and true comfort.

Situated at the base of the wild Tsitsikamma Mountains, The Fernery overlooks an impressive 30-metre waterfall in the Sanddrift River gorge. The deck area boasts a cocktail bar and free WiFi is available throughout.

The spacious rooms and suites are individually decorated and filled with light. Some rooms have fireplaces and offer scenic views. The elegant bathrooms have floor heating and heated towel rails. From the moment you enter the property, you know you're in for a special treat! Upon entering reception, we were warmly greeted and efficiently checked in. After that, we had a personal tour around the property and then were shown our wonderful chalet. The deck is large and has a fabulous view of the canyon forest. The bed is comfortable. The bathing area is AMAZING. The restaurant staff is excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu and the area. The food is great! We already have it in mind for our next visit to the Storms River area!
