Beautifully decorated bedroom (number 4) with a view on the forest. Extremely quiet. The main shared areas (pool, lounge, dining room) are tastefully decorated as well, and the deck offers breathtaking views over the valley. The property offers the option of dining (for a very reasonable 350 ZAR per guest). Great breakfast, included in the rate. Great location barely one kilometer from the Monkeyland and Birds of Eden parks.
Set in The Crags in the Western Cape region and Goose Valley Golf Club reachable within 13 km, Green Hills Forest Lodge offers accommodation with free WiFi, BBQ facilities, a garden and free private...

The tranquility, good service!
Beautiful studio, comfortable.
Will definitely see me 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.

This is definitely not a family holiday spot!
This is definitely not a family holiday spot! It could, at best, be a backpackers lodge. The water in the bathrooms was brownish, and although there were assurances that it was healthy, we were sceptical. The rooms were tiny and barely furnished. The kitchen is communal and almost 100 meters away from the rooms - very inconvenient for those rainy days! What about the toilet and bathroom outside the rooms! We had surely booked the wrong place, and stayed only for one night out of four.

Its a wonderful place to stay, especially since it is 18kms...
Its a wonderful place to stay, especially since it is 18kms from Plettenberg Bay, so its more serene than Plett over the height of summer. There is a lot to do in the vicinity. We loved our visits to the elephant sanctuary (an absolute must-do), the wolf sanctuary, Birds of Eden, Tenikwa (wildlife rehabilitation), Jukani (wildlife sanctuary, especially for Big Cats) and Monkeyland. There's a super water park (Adventureland) about 19kms away, with fabulous waterslides.
We made the mistake of not booking restaurants for dinner in advance. Over late December / early January most places were fully booked, which really limited our options and we spent a lot of time calling around, which we could have avoided. I would scout the restaurants and book well in advance next time.

Everything was amazing, what a gem.
Everything was amazing, what a gem. The food was tasty, beautiful location which resulted in beautiful pictures. Even Diesel was a pleasure to meet. We loved everything and we will definitely be coming back
We found everything we might need in the cottage like plates, pots, pans, pillows, blankets, etc. The cottage itself is a modest place with 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, a nice view, a parking space in the garage. The hosts are such a friendly and lovely couple.
The host made us very delicious breakfast and brought it early as we asked the previous night.
We enjoyed our stay a lot, it definitely was a good value for money, quite close to Nature's Valley. There's also a supermarket nearby.
This was a magical place to spend time on our South Africa vacation. The Villa is outstanding with the lovely rooms, resident animals/friends who gave us lots of cuddles, fabulous food and the host are very caring. I felt like I was wrapped in a warm blanket of care. Scrumptious breakfasts and phenomenal dinners. I cannot recommend this place enough! Luckily we spent three nights here but would have loved to spend even more time.
Uber-family friendly, your kids can run around and have fun, go to play area or swim in the pool or simply play in the cottage garden. Very convenient location, close to Natures Valley, Plett but also away enough from holiday crowd. Incredible nature and surrounds. Lovely hosts. I miss this place already. We came with our 10 and 3 years old and we all had so much rest and fun. We will be back!
We made our own breakfasts. The hosts were very kind and helpful. The location is very close to the world-leading Birds of Eden, and equally close to the excellent Monkeyland. Conveniently close to the beautiful Nature's Valley, the magnificent Grootrivier Pass and the equally magnificent Western Cape portion of the Bloukrans River Pass. And not too far from Big Animal conservancy Jukani.
Cute cottage on a dairy farm, you are in the middle of nature, well equipped, a fresh bottle of milk in the fridge, you can go to the nearby farmstall to buy groceries or to eat breakfast/ lunch there (make sure that you try the milktart), friendly staff and easy communciation with the host, nice hiking recommendations for the area, we had a pleasant stay
The location is well located for Nature's Valley and the beautiful beach just down the road from the Lily Pond (short drive) and all the activities that are available in the area of the Crags.
The provided breakfast is excellent, while the evening cuisine is extremely good. The staff are all lovely and extremely helpful.
We will return.
We wanted a little escape weekend for my birthday and we got exactly that, out in nature. The accommodation was amazing, big spaces and well equipped for self catering. Ilze the host was just so lovely and helpful with information about the farm's surrounds for sight seeing and adventure.
This was our favorite of the places we stayed in South Africa, and we hope to go back some day. The proprietors are warm, welcoming, and helpful. Breakfast was wonderful, but you should definitely plan to eat dinner here during your stay- they were some of the best of the trip.
Everything was perfect, this was the most special place we stayed at in South Africa. The location is magical, rooms are clean and big, food was great (breakfast and dinner) and beyond all the staff was kind and generous unlike any other place. This is a must for couples.
I have loved the place, so different from an hotel, we could enjoy the view, the animals and feel amazed by the creativity! Very good breakfast (homemade bread and granola - the only place we have stayed on the Garden Road with a truly homemade breakfast).
We were served a lovely healthy breakfast on the patio. The location was close to Plettenberg Bay and all the attractions like Birds of Eden and the Snake park were very close. Loved the peace and quite and beautiful garden and dam.
Our stay at the Treehouse Hotel was just amazing. In the middle of the Jungle one can enjoy a lovely Dinner at the huge terrace and enjoy the sunset. The rooms are wonderful and include everything one needs for a lovely stay.
Gorgeous boutique hotel a short drive from Plettenberg. The staff is incredibly kind and thinks of everything. The food is fantastic. Amazing views from anywhere on the property. We did not want to leave!
An unbelievable place that really puts you in the middle of the forest and the nature! The staff was very welcoming and the whole hotel and spa buildings are just a beautiful work of art.
Very unusual location in the forest and a very vivid reminder of South Africa.The rooms were spacious and accessible with all the amenities you would expect from a very special hotel.
Great country style setting and amazing food! Nicely located near all major attractions in Garden Route such as Robberg Nature Reserve. Feels very private.
