Very warm welcome when I arrived. We were accompanied by the front desk lady whom was friendly and very helpful. The unit was well planned out and equiped with everything needed. The place was very clean and the bed was pleasant to sleep on. They were so thoughtfull there was mosquito repellent also and all the necessary toiletries to use. I was very impressed with this place service and craftsmanship of the units. Well done you have impressed me.

I was regrettably disappointed with our overal stay. We were very excited and looking forward to the weekend away.First impressions last…on arrival the swimming pool and deck was full of leaves and lawn unkept (just a quick sweep and clean pool could remedy this) but it does dampen the arrival.The suite we stayed in really needs upkeep/updating. (Torn couch, dirty stained windows)…Does not project the luxury as portrayed on the site.Service was great, friendly and helpful.Kitchen is well equip.

We spent 3 nights at the incredibly special Teniqua Treetops in the forest outside Sedgefield. What a totally unique place it is, with 8 chalets combining timber, glass and wood, built into the indigenous forest. If you want a "resort or hotel" getaway, then it's probably not for you, but if you love nature and want to experience the tranquility of the forest, and in a 100% sustainable way, then THIS is a place you will enjoy. And if you are lucky you'll have a friendly Knysna Loerie keeping you company over breakfast.It's entirely off grid and sustainable, with solar panels providing the electrical needs (no load shedding here) and purified water from natural sources. I really can't recommend this place enough.

Beautiful view in a relaxing setting. It was a great place to start our holiday and the setting turbocharged the wind down from work. We felt like we were completely on our own in nature as the cabins are positioned not to see each other. The bird song is amazing. I would definitely recommend a few nights here.The kitchen has all the basics to cook and salt, pepper, coffee, etc. Just bring food and braai supplies.
