Plett river lodge is really undeserved of 4 stars. We arrived at the lodge and were put in a family room whereas we were only 2 people. The tv had 1 "working" channel (SABC 3) and we were told nonchalantly that the tv does not have a remote control. The room was large and cold with 2 small wall panel... More

We spent 3 nights here on our honeymoon. From the road this lodge doesnt look too promising, but man, wait till you get inside! We were in room nr 4, lovely spacious room with a huge bed, huge open shower and bath and a great view on the river. We had direct access to the terrace which was a huge... More

Fabulous location on the banks of the Bitou river. Large tastefully decorated rooms. Good breakfast. The lodge has 10 rooms but not all have the privacy one would expect due to the large windows. Some are better than others. During rush hour (7-8AM) there is some noise from a nearby road, but nothing disturbing. More

No expense spared on the furnishings, but some rooms were musty and the building in general is in need of maintenance. Rooms were also impractical: Glass entrance doors, open plan bathrooms where the basins were too high for kids and in our instance you could observe someone sitting on the loo from the front door! Passers by were also able... More

I agree with a previous guest - an egg at breakfast would have been nice...specially now that it's getting chilly. Maybe some bacon as well! We were not informed before our stay that cooking for oneself was allowed in the kitchen, also not during our stay..just noticed that some guests did it. Summer would also be a problem - no... More

This should be called self catered and not a B&B. Although it served breakfast they did not have any hot breakfast. A few staff members were friendly but completely unequipped for servicing their guests. We asked many times to help book excursions, recommendations, etc and the staff is not even able to use the phone so since were traveling without... More

After reading a review for this lodge on tripadvisor, my husband and I made a reservation. We are so glad that we did! This lodge is really a little gem in a beautiful seaside town. Libby took great care of us. We happened to visit during a busy time for the lodge, so Libby put us in a room a... More

We stayed in a very spacious, modern room facing the Plett river with a small terrace directly at the river, where we could also have breakfast - great. The guest house is situated right next to a very busy highway which might keep away many people, but once you have passe the door and the garden full of lavender, inside... More
