“Great place to stay to explore Tsitsikamma national park.”
Wonderful house at the edge of the village next to the forest. The house was much larger than expected, with a big garden. Well equipped and comfortable. Architecturally interesting too - the house is octagonal. Very good security although I'm not sure it was entirely necessary. Storms Rivier is a pleasant and safe village to walk around, and there are several restaurants and cafes within walking distance. The forest canopy zip wire is recommended too!

“Excellent and so quiet and peaceful”
The biggest issue was hot water, everyday we had to get somebody out to fix it and it is very uncomfortable when you come ack from a day of activities and you discover when you under the shower that there is no hot water. THEY ONLY CONNECTED THE ELECTRIC GEYSER THE AFTERNOON BEFORE WE LEFT.
