Stormsrivier

"We stayed with our family for 3 days. The property was very spacious, the kitchen very well equipped. And we really appreciated the Nespresso machine and coffee pods! There are 2 showers with really good water pressure and hot water. The beds are really comfortable and the electric heating blankets were much appreciated. What a good attention. Thando, the caretaker was very available. We didn’t use the pool because of the weather. Everything is close by, the garden is wonderful. It can get old...

Top Garden Route Hotel Reviews

Bayview Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff were great. Mornings were very noisy because of the lack of consideration by other guest's. From 5.30 am so inconsiderate. Banging around there rim and door without a thought of people sleeping. So rude. Breakfast was good."

Plett Quarter Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great hotel to land for a couple nights in Plettenberg. The staff was delightful especially upon our arrival we were a bit frazzled from a long drive and Kima greeted us to help us Park and get our bags to our room. The in Hotel restaurant is excellent, we ate the oxtail and the breakfast is fabulous. Two doors away is a place called 11 that we rented bikes from. The property is clean and we had a City View Suite that had plenty of room to spread out and a balcony. The property is clean and has excellent security! We would absolutely stay here again."

Protea Hotel by Marriott George King George

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay for one night during our garden route trip. The view from our balcony was insane and the room was spacious for us three. Staff were very helpful, particularly the staff member who helped us with our bags up the stairs due to no lift and the staff member who let us use the pool table when the bar was closed."

Turbine Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was incredible. The location is excellent, the hotel itself is quite interesting and there are many places to explore, the food and drink were excellent - as were the staff who provided them, the room was remarkable. This is a must-stay hotel if you are considering staying in the area. I would return in a heartbeat if travels bring me there - and I would bring as many as I could."
