“Dreamy destination”
Our stay at Forest Dream House bordering on the Krantzkloof Nature Reserve was amazing. We stayed in the Superior Luxury Room with jacuzzi, and it was everything we had hoped for. The house is gorgeous, spacious, spotless, and beautifully set against the forest backdrop. The jacuzzi was a perfect way to unwind while listening to the sounds of nature outside. What made the experience truly special were the hosts, Luke and Patience. From the moment we arrived, they welcomed us with warmth and genuine care. Luke’s attention to detail and Patience’s kindness made us feel completely at home. They went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed, and their hospitality added a personal touch that made the stay unforgettable. Sunrise over the mountains was breathtaking, welcoming a light and airy morning with all the joys of being amidst nature. Breakfast was fresh and delicious, served with smiles that set the tone for the day. Between the comfort of the room, the beauty of the natural surroundings, and the heartfelt hosting, Forest Dream House felt less like a guesthouse and more like a retreat crafted with love. Thank you Luke, Patience and Jonathan for a memorable weekend.

BLOWN AWAY! In all my adult years staying in guesthouses (at least twice a month) have I never seen or experienced this level of cleanliness and pride. It was cleaner than a super yacht! A massive beautifully furnished, elegant home looking over Krantzkloof. Luke the manager 10/10. Woke up at 4.15am to see us out. I want to go back just to sit in the garden and get away from La Lucia. It was absolutely the best accommodation I have ever experienced. With my extensive travels thats says A LOT! CONGRATULATIONS TO LUKE HIS WIFE AND THE OWNERS! PERFECTLY SPLENDID STAY!

“Avoid this establishment”
Terribly insuling welcoming note in the room, asking guest not to leave used condoms on the floor!!! Worst breakfast ever. Old leftover dinner ( chips and frozen vegetables) semi- warmed up in microwave. Awful experience.

“We will definitely be back. But we will book direct with the owner next time.”
Excellent breakfast. After an initial mix up of room, because booking.com overbooked, we were transferred to a beautiful room, courtesy of the owner who was most helpful.

“Stay away They are not reachable They couldn't be bothered to answer the bell. Or the phone.”
Who knows. They never answered the gate when we pushed the button. They didn't pick up their phone when we tried to call them. I can't rate them because they were not available.
