Super clean and beautifull rooms with a nice view of the garden. The view from the outdoor swimming pool is amazing but unfortunetely it was too cold to swim outside. They do have an indoor heated swimming pool as well so that is very nice. The african aromatic massage was really relaxing and good. The breakfast was very good as well as lunch and dinner.

Wakening up to the sound of birds, cannot be measured. Then the calmness this place brings to you was exactly what we needed. We had our little encounter with a spider, which was easy to catch and to release. Don't miss the stargazing as it is a view you won't forget. The BBQ on the top of the trees from the DIY was a beautiful experience.

A friendly place.

A friendly place. Waterfront area and a lagoon boat trip are a must-do. Plenty of places to visit in the area. Dry Dock restaurant highly recommended. Easy to get around the area although parking in central area a bit problematical. A visit to 'The Heads' viewpoints which is nearby. Drive the 7-passes road for scenery and driving experience. Visit the transport museum in nearby George (it's free!). Margaret's viewpoint on Brenton-on-sea road is nearby and not to be missed.

A beautiful region, with excellent restaurants.

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.

Wonderful little town with good restaurants and upkeep of paths and benches wonderful to see. Clear marking of dog friendly beaches helpful.
