8 guests' feedbackThe location is amazing, with access to wonderful walks and hikes, close to the beach and the very tranquil river. We love it! The lodge is spacious and very well equipped.
Perfect place to switch off and relax.
It was an incredible experience. The natural beauty and tranquility cannot be translated into words. Note, however, that the speed bumps make it very difficult with a 'normal' vehicle.
Wonderful scenery, good location close to Knysna, Sedgefield, Buffalo Bay.
View of river with so much bird life to view. Knysna Loeries that come so close to you and sit on lookout covers that you can actually touch them. Electricity capacity is just little.
After many attempts to use the WiFi and many passwords we could not use WiFi.
Good value for money.
Great time spent there.
