Quirky guest house
We stayed here as we were going into the national park the next day. It is not a fancy hotel but very clean and comfortable. Quite a quirky place. Bed was extremely helpful and friendly. Places to eat close by. Breakfast was very good and plenty of it. I was not a fan of the tiles on the bathroom floor but that is just my opinion. The balcony looking out over the mountains was wonderful as is the setting for breakfast. Storms River is a small town so don't expect 5 star luxury but a pleasant experience all the same

A great base for adventures in the national park
Right in the middle of Storms River, surrounded by the national forest, this is a perfect base for whatever level of adventure you have in mind. The room was basic, but clean, spacious and with some nice touches to make it homey. Plus a nice patio to relax at the end of the day. Breakfast was excellent.

Unique guesthouse hotel.
This was a wonderful hotel experience essentially because we were looked after and treated so well. The building ids extremely comfortable and had fine facilities of which we could not fully use due to our short stay.

Lovely place, nice room, spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed having tea on the terrace and a good breakfast overlooking the little pool. Very convenient for visiting tsitsikamma and our hosts gave great recommendations for hikes there.

Very nice experience overall but noise carries
We stayed here for two nights in August. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and clean. Nice scenery. We were provided with a very good heater for the room which was great. Breakfast was very nice and there is also a reasonably priced laundry service. Only downside was that the noise carries a bit. On our second night our neighbour was watching TV very late at night and very early in the morning and it disturbed us quite a lot.

Coole Holzausstattung "at the woods" und sehr nette Gastgeberin. Zimmer war sehr groß, haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Frühstück am Balkon wird von der Gastgeberin direkt betreut, daher recht flott :-). Parkplatz vor der Unterkunft. Ruhige Lage, dass Kaffee gegenüber gehört dazu. Kann ich zu 100% weiterempfehlen.

Super Unterkunft in der Nähe vom Nationalpark! Den Pool konnten wir leider nicht nutzen, da es schon zu kalt war! Das Essen im empfohlenen restaurant war echt super, obwohl wir uns bei eintreffen dachten, dass es uns nicht überzeugt! Zimmer war sauber, hatte einen Kühlschrank und einen Safe.

Goede B&B
Goede B&B, ik ben één nacht geweest en dat was goed, leuke kamer, goed ontbijt. Er zijn enige restaurants in de omgeving. Stormsrivier stelt op zich weinig voor, maar het is een goede basis om Tsitsikamma te ondekken.
