"Lovely property, well maintained and very clean. Friendly staff. Only negative for us was with the one evening meal we had at the property. My husband ordered the fillet steak (which was very expensive), when it arrived - it was not a fillet steak, very thin piece of steak - overcooked and dry. This cut of meat also had a fat cap around it - brought it to the attention of the owner/manager, not sure which. Blamed his butcher, but did not offer to reduce cost - poor response we thought to a...

"Bukela is a beautiful stay, facilities are great, friendly staff and our ranger (Sim) was very knowledgeable. Foodwise is really below average, just not good especially for a 5* resort. It felt like diner was prepared during the day and heated up in the evening, just not fresh. Breakfast was really poor. Only meal that was good was the lunch. No snacks during the day. Due to this matter i will not likely to visit Bukela again nor reconmend to anyone which is regretful as the staff and facilities...

"Ao chegarmos no quarto não pudemos entrar pois havia um senhor mexendo com uma colmeia de abelhas e haviam muitas por todos os lados...então nos acomodaram em outro quarto que o ar condicionado não estava funcionando, o ralo do box estava entupido, após reclamar nos mudaram novamente...o quarto inha cheiro de mofo, a cama tinha um colchão horrível, o sofá cama que seria para o meu filho era péssimo...como estávamos exaustos acabamos ficando mas a vontade era de ir embora...hoje de manhã ao...

"Our wonderful ranger David made our trip! He ensured that we saw lots of wonderful animals and was full of enthusiam — we could not have been happier! The main lodge and rooms are of a high standard and beautifully decorated, but the management and staff are in need of training. Everything is very slow.....s"

The service was amazing; food was spectacular - the chef was able to provide wonderful vegetarian options even though I hadn't told them in advance that I would require this. The place is beautiful, the rooms are gorgeous and it was overall an amazing experience!

This is a real treat on the eastern cape. The architecture is stunning and the coastal views amaze.
The rate includes 3 excellent meals (B, L , D) and the choices were well thought out and of great quality. You cannot possibly go hungry.
There are a ton of buck in many species, a few giraffe and rhino.
A fantastic experience.

Très bel hôtel avec une vue magnifique sur la vallée avec des orangers.
Les chambres sont hyper spacieuses et cerise sur le gâteau, j ai retrouvé la voiture lavée le lendemain sans avoir rien demandé. Petit déjeuner excellent et personnel très attentionné y compris Archie le patron qui donne de bons conseils

Our stay at the little private cottage in "Fynbos Ridge" was an experience we'll treasure forever. Tucked away in the stunning landscapes behind Plettenberg Bay, this gem offered us an unforgettable blend of luxury, nature, and exceptional service, proving to be worth every penny.
The highlight of each morning was breakfast on their terrace, where we were greeted with breathtaking views of the lush valley stretching out beneath us. It was not just a meal; it was an experience, enhanced by the...
