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...

Great place to stay, easy to find and Sue was super friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be returning in the future!

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 were not expecting Fairview to be such a beautiful property or location. We were completely blown away!
Offering an outdoor pool, Buffelsdam Country House is located in the Crags. Free WiFi and streaming accessare available. This country house surrounded by fynbos and offers rooms in Cape Dutch style.
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.
Stunning surroundings and good location- close to wine estates nearby and short drive to Plett and Keurbooms. Very yummy breakfast provided. Lovely rooms which were well equipped, clean and cozy, with beautiful views! Amazing service by the host - very friendly and hospitable, and the website they set up is super helpful! It has recommendations of restaurants nearby/ things to do/ info about the accommodation etc. Would 100% recommend staying here for a lovely relaxed weekend.
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.
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.
Beautiful farm close to Plettenberg Bay! The rooms are nicely designed, super quite and have a great view on the almond fields. Derek and Davina were super welcoming, explained a lot about the farm activities and gave us the real South African experience by inviting us to a family Braai! Derek is a great cook and breakfast was amazing as well! We would definitely recommend staying here!
Beautiful property nicely decorated. Nice deck with pool where you can have dinner and breakfast outside if the weather is good. Good sized room. Possibility to have dinner in the hotel which we absolutely recommend, we did this 2 of our 3 nights and had 2 very good dinners! What made our stay extra nice is the amazing staff. Everyone was very friendly and very attentive.
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.
Really cute and well equipped lodge, it was perfect to stay one night in our road trip in the garden route. The location is amazing and peaceful, the host Sue is kind and accommodating. There is a lot to do near by and a stunning beach !
We enjoyed the good breakfast on the veranda with a beautiful view.
Gert-Jan is such a nice person and gave us a lot of tips/ recommendations.
We will definitely come back to Colourful BnB, when we will be in South Africa again.
It was absolutely wonderful! Beautiful location, conveniently located between plet and natures valley. Awesome in the forrest. The "fly me to the moon" cabin is amazing, so romantic and breathtaking views!
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!
Beautiful setting over the tree canopy. Lovely cosy open plan room. Quiet space in nature. Great location in close proximity to the wildlife parks and short drive to Plettenberg Bay and the beaches.
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.
Great country style setting and amazing food! Nicely located near all major attractions in Garden Route such as Robberg Nature Reserve. Feels very private.
