Each room and chalet at Garden Route Game Lodge offers either views of the mountains or the valley. They are elegantly decorated with thatched roofs and wooden furniture. All of them have TVs with digital channels and a safe. Nice clean rooms, beautiful poolarea and a super nice pool bar, very good dinner and breakfast and service was great. The safari was really nice as well as the guide. If you are looking for safari in the Cape Town area this was definitely worth the drive. We went to Aquila Game park the week after and Garden route game lodge was much nicer.

With Goose Valley Golf Club reachable in 14 km, Knysna Elephant Park Lodge provides accommodation, a restaurant, a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace. Both WiFi and private parking are available at the lodge free of charge. We enjoyed everything about our stay at the lodge. The staff was very friendly and it was amazing to see the work they do for and with the elephants. We had a great time meeting the elephants and taking a walk with them. Thanks to the team we have learned a lot about them. Thank you very much.

Set in a forest and nestled among the trees, Moonshine on Whiskey Creek offers self-catering accommodation in wooden cabins, just toff the N2 national road and 15 km away from Plettenberg Bay.

The units are equipped with kitchen facilities, fireplace and seating area. Some of the bathrooms are fitted with a mosaic shower. Barbecue facilities are available. The location was serene and peaceful. It was a view that we will never forget. The pool was lovely to have. Wish we knew they had a hiking trail as it would take a half day to do but we are dtill happy with the location. Our little house was perfect for our family. The only suggestion I would make is a safety gate by the outside stairs
