- Leonard Carr (10/5): Enchanting piece of paradise - The property is truly magical and enchanting. The location is outstanding. The rooms are beautifully appointed. The Lapa offers comfortable seating and an indoor or outdoor eating area with well stocked kitchen, gas stove and very generous fridge space. Tania and Alan are the most warm, generous, thoughtful and attentive hosts I have ever had the good fortune to encounter. I could easily have stayed there triple the ten days we had there. Thank-you Tania and Alan!!!! I can't think of anything that I didn't like

- Paula (9/5): - Lovely rooms set in indigenous forest, plus the use of a communal lounge/kitchen. Very welcoming hosts. Nice restaurants within easy reach. The rooms are beautiful but they are VERY small and lack storage.
- Okuhle (10/5): - EVERYTHING!!! 😭🤞Definitely heading back and planning to have a much extended visit. If I'd describe the area and stay we were at? I'd defs say "Tranquility". 😍 Absolutely nothing at all.
- Fortuin (8/5): - I loved everything about the property. It was nice and cosy, perfect for a romantic getaway. I would suggest they add an iron and iron board in the room rather then you going to iron clothes in the lapa.
- Bentele (7/5): -
- Odwa (10/5): The place offers a blend of comfort, charm, and genuine hospitality that made my stay awesome - The tranquillity. Just being away from home. No loud noises. Just absolute peace. All you could hear is nature. Definitely I will be returning back. Nothing that I can point out.

- Bottoman (9/5): It was beautiful, short as it was. Tania and Al were absolutely amazing hosts. - Excellent location, quiet and secluded. It literally felt like being in a little love nest. The kitchen facility was a bit of a walk from our chalet - access to a microwave and wine openers etc
- Kelly (10/5): Exceptional - A lovely place to stay. Very comfortable and the hosts Al and Tania were very accommodating.
- Chené (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely gorgeous! We fell in love with this place. Very relaxing and breathtaking views.

Property was in very good condition and had all necessities available.
- Lucan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alfonzo (9/5): Superb -
- Barber (9/5): Superb - We're from PE, but just wanted to get 'away' for a night. It was absolutely amazing. We felt like we were nice and remote. Our little family had a great time. Hosts were absolutely amazing and welcoming. Thank you Tania and Al. The ONLY thing we didn't like was that the sofa bed mattress was very thin, but it is understandable for a fold out couch.
- Phumlani (10/5): Exceptional -
- Morne (10/5): Beautiful and clean room with private bathroom surrounded by nature. - Beautiful and clean room with private bathroom surrounded by nature. there was a cute pathway through the bushes with lights that was so cute!! Comfy bed as well and the host was amazing! Cant think of anything I didn't like.
- Dr (10/5): An unexpected jewel! - This accommodation was a very pleasant surprise! It is tucket away among trees that must have been there for decades which made it feel if one is in the middle of a forest. Because of its location (away from the beach - where we usually stay), we saw, and got to appreciate, a completely different part of Gqebergha that we probably would never have experienced.
The reception by Alan was very welcoming. And during our stay, the Tania even asked if she can provide us with a heater, or anything else that we may need. That was very kind of Tania in my opinion.
All I can say is: stay at L'auberge - you will not be disappointed! There was nothing to dislike.
- Janine (10/5): Lovely Bush Accommodation - Beautiful clean units with such an amazing host! We loved our stay here!
- Candice (10/5): A delightful relaxing getaway - We enjoyed the peaceful forest like feel with modern finishes. The room has a very comfortable bed, a double shower and the rusks for morning coffee was a yummy surprise ... the photos on the website are accurate but when you get there its a million times better ... the quiet forest atmosphere makes relaxing so easy ... if you need to escape the city stress and forget about life for a while this is definitely the place to stay ... waking up to hear birds singing and seeing the soothing green of the trees is a true delight ... brilliant value for money ... we will definitely be returning here and have already started referring them to my family ... our expectations were far far far exceeded ...

- Booi (10/5): Amazing relaxation and healing for the soul that nature can offer. Tania’s warm attitude made that experience even more - I absolutely liked everything that Lauberge had to offer us. The bush environment was exceptional, clean and safe. We really enjoyed the real contact with nature, the tranquil and birds singing. Tania was amazing with her warm attitude, friendly smile and exceptional customer service. Everything was absolutely splendid, there’s nothing that you won’t like about Lauberge

They offered to get us food at a local pizzeria and when it was closed, invited us to join them for burgers. To no fault of their own. Uber eats doesn't deliver. Be prepared and once you are the experience is the best ever.
