Wonderful views
Great place to discover the Tsitsikamma National Park. Quite a long drive to reach the hotel. Food was great and staff was very friendly.
Overall, the hotel is a bit dated and mainly benefits from its great views.

An oasis of relaxation.
A dusty drive brings you to an oasis at oceans edge. A lovely property with incredible views. Great food and views from dining room Nice trails and numerous other activities make this a destination resort We planned to stay one night and decided to stay another night just enjoy the property. An unexpected bonus was the star gazing. Absolutely dark sky lit up with stars!

What a special property ! We were so pleasantly surprised with this wonderful hotel situated on the edge of a gorge with waterfalls, trees, streams and monkeys. We stayed in a log cabin which was so romantic and absolutely gorgeous. A monkey greeted us at the door! The cabin had a fireplace, and a patio area and a huge bathroom with showers and bathtub. The food for dinner and breakfast was phenomenal again with a breathtaking view. Unfortunately we only stayed one night on our way to a game park but we will certainly be back. I highly recommend this wonderful place !

Lovely hotel/resort. You can hire bikes. A bit of info about the trails would be helpful but we had great fun anyway.
I read it’s adults only but there were children staying. This didn’t spoil our experience but just wanted to manage expectations.
Would def recommend. The rooms are beautiful with forest views. Spacious and comfortable and the bathroom in our log cabin was spectacular. We also loved taking a dip in the hot tub situated by the waterfall. We had one night as we were passing through but a second would have been perfect just to enjoy all they have to offer. Highly recommend!

Natural retreat !
Have faith! We go to the end of the surfaced road, only to find there was another 6 Km to go on forest tracks....it IS worth it ! We really enjoyed our time at The Fernery, and the staff were so attentive and helpful and the breakfasts were amazing! Just watch out for the monkeys and the sugar sachets, if you choose to dine on the terrace!
As it was nearing the end of the season, the on-site pool was a little cool for use, but if the weather had been warmer, it could have been refreshing!

Tolle Lage, direkt an einer Schlucht.
Lange Anfahrt über Schotterstrasse. Netter Empfang. Sehr gutes Essen. Frühstück war gut, mit einer Auswahl an Eierspeisen. Am Pool gab es leider nicht ausreichend Sonnenschirme.

Der Eigentümer hat viel Geld in die Hand genommen, um von der Landstraße N2 eine Schneise in die Walachei zu schlagen und dieses Objekt da hin zu stellen.
Leider hat er versäumt auf sein Personal zu achten.
Die beste Mitarbeiterin war die Masseurin und der Rest unterirdisch.
Das Essen war nicht gut und zudem durften wir auch noch 2 Stunden auf das Abendessen warten.

It was so amazing! So private and in nature it was unbelievable! With amazing friendly service with great food and scenery I wouldn’t choose a other destination. I would highly recommend the cabins if you want a private adventure in the woods!

Lovely place
Stunning location in the middle of nowhere. Checkin area didn’t feel very welcoming. Would have been nice to have a little waiting area and a welcome drink. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast/dining area is a bit outdated but the view from the restaurant deck is stunning. The food (dinner) in the restaurant was outstanding. We did not try the braai menu in the cottage. Breakfast was nice, not overdone. The room (Fern Cottage) was amazing! Comfort, cleanliness, privacy. Everything you need for a relaxed or romantic breakaway. Very nice pool, but strangely located next to reception so you can hear phonecalls and checkins. The garden is beautiful and there are some nice viewing decks and trails on the property. We definitely loved our stay!
