We only stayed on night, but wished for more. The setting is spectacular. Property is beautiful. Food was very good. Some of the staff went above and beyond. Some were fine. The bar tender, and the quad bike guide were fabulous. Definitely would recommend it.

The Fernery, located in Tsitsikamma National Park, is an exceptional property that offers unparalleled views of the ocean and the surrounding gorge. The natural beauty of the area is simply breathtaking and unlike anything we've ever seen before. Our two-night stay at The Fernery was an unforgettable experience. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that we felt welcome and comfortable throughout our stay. As a special touch for our honeymoon, they even upgraded us to an ocean-facing room which made our stay even more memorable. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. The view from the room was simply spectacular, and we could spend hours simply gazing out at the ocean and the surrounding landscape. The peace and tranquility of the surroundings made it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The bar at The Fernery was beautifully designed, and the fireplace provided the perfect setting for a cozy evening. The ambiance of the bar was warm and inviting, and we loved spending time there. One of the things we loved most about The Fernery was the sense of seclusion and privacy. Despite being located in the national park, it felt like a world away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The natural beauty of the surroundings provided a peaceful and rejuvenating atmosphere that we will never forget. Overall, The Fernery is an exceptional property that we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable stay in Tsitsikamma National Park. The breathtaking views, spacious and well-appointed rooms, attentive staff, and peaceful atmosphere make for a truly unforgettable experience. We can't wait to return and experience it all again.

Fantastic place, our only regret was that we weren't there longer. The rooms were amazing, very comfortable and there were.lots of quirky details. The views were stunning. The food is delicious and they catered for my dietary requirement. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. We stayed on NYE and the owner checked on with all guests to be sure we had slept well. We will definitely be back again

Lovely area. We visited Santos Beach which is a blue flag beach. Wonderful white sand. Free parking, sun shades and toilets. We ate in the Santos Express Train cafe and were lucky enough to have a tour of the train accommodation. Very nice. We also visited Mossel Zipline, the longest zipline over the ocean, in the world. A must for thrill seekers.

The pictures of our accommodation were misleading , they give you great pics and when you arrive the room is called a garden view room , it has no view and is up two sets of stairs , hot water took ten minutes to warm up and still was Luke warm , I would never recommended they stay to anyone , even the reception guy stated we were misled , I video recorded my conversation with him . The wilderness itself is stunning and worth the visit

Enjoyed the Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour, the guides were so friendly, had loads of fun! Marilyn's 60's Diner - lovey restaurant definitely worth a visit. Don't forget to visit the Wolf Dog Sanctuary Would love to have spent more time there to explore the hidden gems.

Albertinia is a small country town without the big fast food take aways . Very rural . You can buy the basics at one of the cafes or Pizza place . There is not much as far as shops go so it is a stopover to break a long journey or a week or two of total peace and quite without too many modern day interruptions. There is a braai area and all you could want to have to have an enjoyable stop and a good night's sleep and no rush to get you out in the morning .. I simply bought rolls and cold meat and yogurt at Piet se kafee as I did not want to cook . Coffee is provided although if to a heavy coffee drinker you may want to buy a bit extra as most guest houses only give you enough for two or three cups of coffee . I had a nice chat with the owner who told me about the abundance of underground water and about the area in general...This is not a property where you can come in and drink and party and be a nuisance to others . . No smoking inside the chalets which is excellent @
