We arrived after a long day of driving and we were met by owners Ray and Fiona. Who were just a pleasure to deal with from the moment we arrived. It is clear they have a passion for service and are proud as punch of what they have built. Rightly so We stayed in the family round house which was... More

We had a one bedroom self catering unit which was light and airey. Beautiful location - so calm and peaceful. Very good pool - big enough for a proper swim. Down a dirt track and probably 20 mins from Plettenburg Bay so if you wanted to eat out at night you did have to drive. We stayed for 2 nights... More

Excellent place to stay, if a little quiet, no make that very quiet ! The rooms and welcome were excellent, although after a long drive to be told we had to go back to Plettenberg to eat was not what we expected. The advice given on where to eat was excellent and help in booking the sea safari great. Yes... More

We used a GPS to find the accomodation which although is slightly off route, was very easy to find!! All i can say was we wish we would have stayed longer. We were met with... More

The welcome we were given by Ray & Fiona and the playful dogs was really nice and our room was really clean and spacious. The pool area was magnificent, although I do recommend people get directions in advance - particularly as our rented GPS was no help. Our main gripe was the distance of the accommodation from Plettenberg Bay. Also... More

Ray and Fiona made us so welcome on our two night stay which we dearly wished we had extended to a month! Our room was exceptional and the decor and facilities first class. Fiona catered for us one night and served a delicious 3 course meal in their lovely home AND with a great wine selection. If you are looking... More

We had a delightful two nights stay in Bella Manga; we loved the tranquility of the surroundings, the bird life and of course swimming in the lovely deep and clean pool. Our hosts were helpful and kind and made us a wonderful evening meal after our long drive the day of our arrival. GPS does not work but it is... More

We stayed 4 nights in one of the three forest lodges. Basic but well equipped and well priced. The three lodges are set in spacious grounds amidst the woods. We looked out onto a myraid of wonderful birds and animals. Ray & Fiona use the many acres around them to graze Zulu cattle and retired racehorses, which stroll past the... More

We just hated having to leave Bella Manga after 10 wonderful days in the Nr. 3 Forest Lodge. We enjoyed every moment of our stay so much. We were two families of 7 people and found sufficient space for gatherings together as well as for quiet personal retreats. The Lodge is perfectly equipped with all the necessary in the kitchen,...
