I think the best experience on our trip to western cape. Everything from the beginning to the end was just perfect. Personel was so kind and helpful. Our guide Mark was the best guide we have had in our life :). Greetings to Mark !! he is so passionate about his job and so joyful. Whole place is just amazing its just difficult to describe our happines while we where there. Luxury tent was simply amazing. Very spacious and nice. I totally recommend having 2 safaris early morning and evening. We went on both and both were simply outstanding. Mark was entertaining us through whole safari and we had a evening tea with rusks about 20 meteres from rhinos. That was such an amazing experience. We have seen so many animals. Totally recommend to everyone i think it is a must :)

The resort was absolutely stunning — everything from the atmosphere to the details was top-notch. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, and the place felt very classy and well-maintained. Our room was beautiful with a lovely view, and the overall ambiance was simply unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a special getaway. Although the golf cart service wasn't originally designated for guest transportation, the staff kindly made an exception for my mother due to the distance of her room. They provided her with a golf cart ride to ensure her comfort, and I truly appreciate this thoughtful gesture. It meant a lot to us and showed how caring and considerate the staff are.

We had a wonderful and peaceful stay at Forest Valley Cottages. The setting is incredibly serene, with the most beautiful views that make you feel instantly relaxed. Waking up to birds chirping and the calm surroundings was truly special. The cottage was comfortable, cozy, and perfect for a quiet getaway. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy nature at its best!

The place is very cozy and is right in front of the beach. The area is so beautiful that it deserves to be explored.

Mossel Bay is a great place to holiday and stay.

Mossel Bay is a great place to holiday and stay. All amenities are close-by : shops, entertainment, restaurants, nice little shops to browse around in. Museums are informative and showcases the history well. Getting around is easy (not during the high local holiday season). From highly adventurous activities to do for example shark cage diving, sky diving etc to lazing on the beach. During my stay the weather was perfect!

I visited Wilderness not as a tourist or holidayer but to visit cherished friends who live on Lake Road. That said, I found Wilderness very appealing with lots of things to do for those who are so inclined; a number of very good restaurants certainly appealed to me. Naturally for me, I find the bustle of holiday season a little wearing but acknowledge that is a must for local merchants.

Albertinia is a small country town without the big fast food take aways . Very rural . You can buy the basics at one of the cafes or Pizza place . There is not much as far as shops go so it is a stopover to break a long journey or a week or two of total peace and quite without too many modern day interruptions. There is a braai area and all you could want to have to have an enjoyable stop and a good night's sleep and no rush to get you out in the morning .. I simply bought rolls and cold meat and yogurt at Piet se kafee as I did not want to cook . Coffee is provided although if to a heavy coffee drinker you may want to buy a bit extra as most guest houses only give you enough for two or three cups of coffee . I had a nice chat with the owner who told me about the abundance of underground water and about the area in general...This is not a property where you can come in and drink and party and be a nuisance to others . . No smoking inside the chalets which is excellent @
