    The 2 bedroom "cabin" was beautifully decked out with a comfortable sofa, comfy beds and a nice wooden outdoor dining setting and deck chairs on the verandah, which had a lovely partial view of the Knysna lagoon. All the kitchen pots, utensils and crockery is Le Creuset, which impressed us, and was nice to use. The braai worked well and kindling and firewood was included. The lovely the lagoon was great for relaxing under the milkwood trees, and to step off for a swim in the lagoon at high tide.

    The staff were absolutely fantastic. My parents were staying here and when there was a medical emergency the staff, particularly the two receptionists on duty that evening and the security guard, were super helpful and the manager even personally brought them home from the hospital at around 2am. The staff went above and beyond! Room and facilities were nice and modern. Breakfasts were good. Location relative to main Knysna area is perfect. Many things in walking distance.

    What an amazing place to stay, my wife and I enjoyed every minute of this beautiful location. The staff were fantastic and catered to our every need, the setting for our evening meal and breakfast was superb overlooking the forest, the food equally superb and amazing value for money. We were lucky enough to book into the spa for a one hour massage and two hour spa experience, which was amazing in the forest setting, the food after was great too. An amazing place.

    The views and the place itself was absolutely stunning! It was exactly like it was shown in the picture. The finer detailed touches with their preparation of the unit was exceptional and very special. It was quiet and you could just relax and unwind. We really were sad to leave Thank you very much to the host and their staff. Hoping to see you again

    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.

    Plettenberg Bay is a fantastic town. It can get very busy in season but an absolute pleasure out of season. Beaches are exquisite and there are plenty of activities in and around for couples and families. Must recommend the Waffling Whale at Formosa - food is delicious and the staff are amazing. If you want brilliant coffee you need to visit the Sotto's Deli!

    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.
