This was the best hotel in our garden route tour. Every detail has been looked after. The room had an amazing view, a wooden fire hot tub, fireplace, comfy bed, the people were very attentive and the pool and sauna were a very big plus. Highly recommended!

Where do we start? The fact we booked a return visit within the same 3 week holiday says it all. From the moment we got there the excellent team at The Lofts Boutique couldn’t do enough for us. From activity recommendations, restaurant reservations or just helpful advice on our holiday as a whole, Allan and the team did it all. The hotel and rooms are just beautiful and the team have thought of all the finishing touches to make your stay effortless. The main and most important thing to us is that the team actually cared and you could tell from the excellent standards they had in every aspect of their service. It has a great balance of feeling like a luxury escape and a home away from home. We’re already planning our return visit and cannot wait to get back. Thank you to The Lofts Boutique. You really did make our holiday! If you’re contemplating this hotel, don’t. Just book it!

A feeling that can only be described as Christmas morning as a child but within the trees at 40yrs of age😉 Loved every minute of our stay, so much that we stayed an extra night! The hospitality and staff were exceptional. I can not recommend this place enough. We will most definitely be returning next year. Thanks to top man Anthony and his beautiful family for making our stay unforgettable. Guys, You need to come here. The flora and fauna at Teniqua Treetops is next level👌 A true nature lovers paradise ❤️

Without a doubt the most wonderful hotel I have ever been to. It's not only luxurious but it's beautifully decorated in its very own way. We felt immediately welcome and at home. Every detail has been thought of. The staff is wonderful and management is very welcoming and present during meal times. We can definitely recommend to also eat there at dinner as it's a fantastic restaurant with great food and a unique atmosphere.

Trogon House and its entire staff is just Wonderfull. A special thanks to Carol, she was super supportive finding suppliers and helping hands for a small wedding we held on Natures Valley's Beach. Food was superb. The location of Trogon House is ideal to explore Plettenberg and surroundings but back in the hotel you think you're somewhere far away in a tropical jungle - wonderful

A beautiful region, with excellent restaurants.

A beautiful region, with excellent restaurants. The Grootrivier and (Western Cape part of) the Bloukrans River passes are exceptional, as is Nature's Valley. The Birds of Eden is THE world leading bird conservancy -- the biggest anywhere with free flying birds in a magnificent forest with a beautiful kloof, waterfall ,,, The nearby Monkeyland and Jukani conservancies are also probably the best in Africa. Thyme & Again restaurant is also a favourite.

Natures Valley is very special. Most other bays in the area are over developed and commercialised. Natures Valley still captures the time when going to the beach was not all about how magnificent your property was. Lets hope it stays that way.

Many establishments in the surrounding area do not allow dogs. So you can't eat in many places as no arrangements were made to accomodate dog owners. Some beaches banned dogs completely, even on a leash. I found this attitude very short sighted and unpleasant.

Knysna is a beautiful town and a highlight in the Garden Route! A must to visit is the waterfront area. We had a fantastic trip on a yacht to the Heads at sunset with Springtide! The restaurants at the Waterfront are the best in town. We loved 34 Degrees South and Drydock Company. A visit to the Heads is a highlight. Knysna is surrounded with beautiful forest and there are plenty walks to choose from.

The number of bergies or street people hanging at the SPAR and surrounding area for the size of town was disconcerting. Nearly had an incident regarding the snatch of a cell phone. Wonderful little town with good restaurants and upkeep of paths and benches wonderful to see. Clear marking of dog friendly beaches helpful.
