“Fantastic stay at a lovely cottage”
Our family of 4 stayed here for 3 nights. The cottage was absolutely perfect and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Service was excellent and the staff even washed our car on the day of check out, which was a very nice touch - we've never had this before throughout our 20+ years of travels. Less than 10 minutes from Plettenberg Bay by car.

“It was a last minute booking and one that I’m glad I did. I will definitely be back to stay a few more nights.”
It was just what I expected a colonial property in Africa to look like. Would definitely stay again.

“Fantastic place, worth every penny.”
Absolutely the best accommodation during our vacation! We loved our stay VERY much! The cottage, the bed, the bathroom, the location, the comfort, the beautiful surroundings, the views, the naughty monkeys. Breakfast was also very good and extensive. The hosts are so kind and make sure you have everything you need. Thank you for making our stay memorable. Plettenberg Bay is also a great location for a lot of nice day visits with a few good restaurants. I will definitely come here again in a few years.

“Liz and Brian are wonderful hosts, we absolutely loved our stay at Fynbos Lodge.”
Stunning views and delicious breakfasts everyday. Extremely helpful hosts who went above and beyond on several occasions. Very convenient location to drive into Plett within 5mins. Gorgeous cottage which worked perfectly for our family holiday, a little piece of heaven!

Brian & Liz are tremendously welcoming and did everything to provide us a fantastic stay. The bed was super comfortable and extra large. A fireplace with a DIY bar is always open for guests. the breakfast is fantastic, also for vegetarians. Ideal location for us, as we did activities in Knysna and Plett.
