    Absolutely fell in love with trogan house. One of our best stays in SA. Our room was so luxurious, which over looked the pool. We had the most amazing massage and private time in the spa. It was the most relaxing place and so peaceful. All staff were fantastic, but we would like to give a special shout out to 'wonderful' he was so helpful and made sure we had everything we need at our stay. We had dinner one night and it was fabulous. There is noting I can fault at this accommodation

The villas were massive and every comfort was provided. Dining was exquisite and reasonably priced. All the staff were pleasant and knowledgeable.

    Big, bright and comfortable room and bed with seaview. Friendly staff, good location. In the same building there is also a tour operator which offers for example whales watching tour and also restaurants. Location was still quiet at night so we could sleep with open window and hear the ocean.

    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.

    Natures Valley is very special. Most other bays in the area are over developed and commercialised. Natures Valley still captures the time when going to the beach was not all about how magnificent your property was. Lets hope it stays that way.

    Many establishments in the surrounding area do not allow dogs. So you can't eat in many places as no arrangements were made to accomodate dog owners. Some beaches banned dogs completely, even on a leash. I found this attitude very short sighted and unpleasant.

    Buffelsbaai is a unpolished gem and the ocean and surroundings brings a special kind of calm to your soul that is not easy to put pen to paper about! it is beyond your imagination!

Buffels Bay is very easy to get around to and everything is SO neat and well kept!!

    Plettenberg Bay is a fantastic town. It can get very busy in season but an absolute pleasure out of season. Beaches are exquisite and there are plenty of activities in and around for couples and families. Must recommend the Waffling Whale at Formosa - food is delicious and the staff are amazing. If you want brilliant coffee you need to visit the Sotto's Deli!
