Guest Reviews
- Michelle (10/5): - The staff are very friendly and helpful. The house is absolutely beautiful and they go above and beyond with everything. There was nothing to dislike.
- Lelde (7/5): - The location, the views, the monkeys early in the morning. Friendly staff, fresh flowers in the vases.
Large fireplace. Staff coming to the pool in the early morning without any previous notification.
Some fur particles on the pillows. No possibility to wash the laundry in the villa - washing machine at the end of its lifespan, the dryer not functional. No hairdryer in the whole villa. No possibility to use the bath tub, completely brown water coming quite soon. Having to read a long printed out paper in addition to lengthy WhatsApp instructions.
- Andrew (10/5): We will be back. Superb host - Beautiful home, comfortable beds, excellent host Nothing
- Matthias (10/5): -
- Janet (10/5): Excellent location for a vacation with the best views - Exceptional villa with everything you could need. The view was incredible. Nothing
- belinda (10/5): For a family gathering in a beautiful, safe environment you couldn’t do better. It is a short drive to fun experiences - It was my 70th birthday and I needed a beautiful, comfortable venue that could fit my me, my partner, my three daughters, their husbands, my six grandchildren ranging from 2 to 14 years old and their two dogs. The two Villas, nestled between a beautiful forest, overlooking a nature reserve with a mountain range as a sky outline view was perfect. The children played outside and in the pools non-stop. When it rained one evening they found the board games and we lit a fire, for a wonderful time in the lounge while one played the piano. There were tables for them to eat at, and tables for us to savour and enjoy our meals. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked with appliances. We never locked anything away and felt perfectly safe at the Villas always. Deborah’s staff are incredible. Friendly and kind and my word, they worked hard. Careful if you are tall. Villa 1 has an oven extractor fan which juts out a bit - a few heads were knocked while cooking.
The wine glasses are rather eclectic - I liked them but the wine fundis said I should suggest this.
- Andrew (10/5): Incredible, unique forest location with breathtaking views - the team are also all wonderful! - Incredible, unique forest location with breathtaking views - the team are also all wonderful!
- Tania (10/5): Perfect getaway with a group of friends - We had a fantastic stay at The Good Earth Farm celebrating a birthday with a group of friends. Villa 2 had everything we needed and the space was big enough to accommodate everyone. Lovely views all around. Highly recommended.
- Stuart (8/5): -
- Marc (10/5): Waanzinnig mooi - Prachtige locatie met stijlvolle inrichting! Rust en peace!
Heerlijk Niets
- karen (10/5): Wonderful 3 days in a magical home. - Beautiful house, very comfortably furnished and homely. Plenty of space indoors and outdoors - magical setting in a forest but just a few minutes off the garden route. Very good sized pool so I could swim lengths. Well equipped kitchen, good hot showers and quality linens. Nothing it was perfect
- Nele (10/5): Traumhaft! - Es war traumhaft. Besonders das Personal
ist unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit. Alles sehr sauber und auch die Betten waren ein Traum. Es gab nicht eine Sache!
- Lizandri (10/5): -
- Navina (9/5): - Wunderschön gelegen, in mitten der Natur. Toller Garten, tolles Personal.
- Kessels (9/5): Beautiful place in the middle of nature + very helpful hosts! (a car is recommended due to location) -
- Gina (10/5): -
- John Blonk (10/5): Een heerlijke rustgevende locatie met voor alle leeftijden iets. - Een prachtig onderkomen en een warm welkom met op tafel een kaart en een milktert, smullen. De keuken was compleet. Het uitzicht is prachtig en de woning en het zwembad erg prettig. Op een rustige en groene locatie. De service is uitstekend. De stranden in de omgeving zijn zeer aangenaam en rustig, als je oplet op de stroming kan je er goed het water in. Nature Valley vonden we echt fijn als strand. De info die we waaraf ontvingen waren zeer nuttig. Plettenberg is 20 minuten rijden en daar hebben we heerlijk gegeten en een fantastische hike gedaan op Robbenberg.
- philippa (10/5): A stunning and very special home - Everything! The style, the surroundings, the feel of the place... Can't think of much at all.
- Vera (10/5): This cottage is like a dream! - It was a real dream to stay in the beautiful cottage. It felt like home from the first moment! Super authentic, amazing details and with horses in the garden. We loved every aspect of it!! Everything was amazing.
- Janneke (8/5): -
- Fushai Runyowa (10/5): Perfect place to recharge! We had a fantastic time. Responsive and friendly hostess and staff! -
- Catherine Ingrid (10/5): - Ein traumhaft schönes Landhaus, dass stilvoll eingerichtet ist und zum durchatmen einlädt. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt. Die Küche ist super ausgestattet mit Küchengeräten und Gewürzen.
- Janet (10/5): True tranquility in stunning setting - True tranquility in a stunning setting. The cottage is so tastefully decorated and equipped in a sustainable way - inspirational. Deborah (host) was generous with local recommendations, attention to detail and personal messages. Nothing
- Nele (9/5): Tolles, stilvoll eingerichtetes Cottage. Einmalig! - Ein unglaublich süßes, mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtetes Cottage, das mitten im Grünen gelegen ist. Der Teich vor der Tür inkl. Geräuschkulisse trägt zur Entspannung bei. Sehr netter Kontakt zu Deborah! Der Veranda-Bereich, der zwar auch komplett verschlossen ist, lässt doch mehr Luft nach draußen zu. Den Besuch von ein paar Spinnen und Co. muss man mögen. :)
- Carole (9/5): - The cottage has a rustic charm and is well equipped, with a comfortable bed. We didn't meet the owner/manager but on site staff were friendly and helpful.
- Dominik (10/5): Was für ein friedlicher und ursprünglicher Flecken Erde - Wir haben als fünfköpfige Familie zwei Nächte in der Good Earth Forest View Homestead/Luxury Villa übernachtet und waren angetan von der malerischen Lage und der ursprünglich Landschaft. Dazu die Großzügigkeit des Hauses mit den vielen Sitzecken auf der Terrasse und dem Pool direkt am Wald. Was für ein friedlicher Flecken Erde! Die Betten waren bequem, die Bäder geräumig. Die Kommunikation mit der Gastgeberin war schnell und hilfsbereit und die Check-In Prozedur einfach. Das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend und hat im Hintergrund alles sauber und in Schuss gehalten. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben - oder hätten anstatt Sightseeing Touren einfach einen Tag am Pool gelegen.
Man sollte wissen, dass die Nähe zur Flora auch eine Nähe zur Fauna mit sich bringt, d.h. auf/über der Terrasse sieht man die wunderschönen Knysna Turacos, Eidechsen, größere Insekten wie (Heu)Schrecken (vor allem morgens) - und Grünmeerkatzen. Letztere muss man sehr entschieden vom Hof jagen, denn sonst werden sie frech.
- Ard (10/5): Wonderful, hope to visit again! - We stayed at the villa for just two nights but wished we could have stayed longer. The staff were friendly, the views stunning, and the kitchen well-equipped. We especially enjoyed the comfortable lounge with its fireplace. Shopping is convenient at the nearby Crags Superette, which also has a bakery offering delicious pies.
- Pretorius (10/5): -
- Dylan (10/5): - The good earth farm was amazing in every aspect, set so perfectly in nature and so well equipped for comfort and relaxation. Such a great place to spend with my family for a few days. I would highly recommend and I’ll be back as soon as I can.
- Sanne (10/5): -
- Paul (10/5): An exceptional villa in a breathtaking location - We had villa II and it is really quite something. Surrounded by a lush Garden Route garden with a view out over the forested Crags, the vine clad verandah edged by a beautiful pool with a fire pit on a deck, the lounge area with floor to ceiling windows, a sprawling kitchen area ready for cooking a five course meal, and the huge bedrooms with lovely en suite bathrooms and walk in cupboards. The daily staff looked after us so well and it is conveniently located close to Plettenberg Bay while still being tucked away from the N2. And all of this in the middle of winter, we cannot wait to return in summer and enjoy this special place even more. Nothing, honestly, this is a great place with no shortcomings.
- Lee-Anne de Villiers (10/5): Excellent - We had a wonderful week staying in one of the villa’s. The home is beautifully decorated and spacious with everything you need. The views are breathtaking. Loved the outdoor fire pit and braai area. The house was cleaned daily and Deborah and her team were so helpful and accommodating. We had a great time. Definitely recommend.
- Richard (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cooney (10/5): Unique garden cottage stay - Fantastic setting, loved the gardens and the peace and quiet of nature. The cottage was unique and just perfect...attention to detail on everything...from the chairs,artwork,potplants, fresh flowers in each room... to the kitchen supplies to the extra comfy bed and soft bedding ! Debbie and her staff are very welcoming and always ready to help if needed. We stayed to short!
- Melissa (10/5): Exceptional - Celebrated my 40th birthday in style at this beautiful villa. Communication with the host was marvelous, and she was super helpful in all aspects. the home was kitted out with everything we needed to have a wonderful, restful stay. We will definitely be back.
- Nitasha (10/5): We will definitely be back! A magical place to unwind and relax - Perfect getaway for familes Exceeded my expectations
- Adéle (10/5): Exceptional - Great stay in nature- the host is really exceptional. All the little extras to make it feel comfortable.
- Tehillah (10/5): Best find yet! - This place is absolutely incredible... So homey, warm, cozy and just an absolute gem. Decorated beautifully, such a comfy warm bed, and the feel of the place really was incredible!!!
- Schalk (9/5): An absolute serene and lovely stay out in the countryside - Loved the cottage

- Cheryl (10/5): Perfect! -
- Melanie (10/5): Hidden gem in a peaceful and quiet setting - Hidden gem in a peaceful and quiet setting. The attention to detail is exceptional and the host is so accommodating and friendly. The property is absolutely beautiful, spacious, clean and comfortable beds. We will definitely visit again.
- Mattinson (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrea (10/5): Very pretty cottage immersed in nature - Set in a very quiet and lush location, the cottage was very special, made entirely of wood and glass (windows everywhere). Lots of effort was put into the decor, and Debbie was extremely generous helping us with whatever we needed. Despite being self catered, service was very good. Unfortunately it was only a base for visits into Tsitsikamma for us, wish we could have enjoyed the place longer. The place is very isolated and romantic - perhaps I’d choose it to stay with my partner rather than with a friend next time! :D
- Nic (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marius (9/5): Superb -
- Jonathan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Limei (10/5): Exceptional - the venue is perfect. Tranquil and got style No
