Guest Reviews
- Matthias (10/5): Ein Paradies, gefühlt mitten im Dschungel! - Bezauberndes Baumhaus in wunderschöner, grüner, ruhiger und friedlicher Lage.
Bequeme Betten, blitzsauber, bestens ausgestattet.
Sally und Margaret sind sehr warmherzige und aufmerksame Gastgeberinnen. Wir haben hervorragende Tipps für Ausflüge, Restaurants und unsere weitere Reise bekommen.
Eine unbedingte Empfehlung wenn man in der Gegend ist!
- Natasha (9/5): Immersed in green - If you love the forest, birds, peace and quiet - this is the place for you! You'll be immersed in nature's green glory. The hosts are lovely, kind, great - giving you peaceful space but responsive if you need assistance. The location is great - close enough to everything you need, far enough to feel like you are away from the madness of life - and if you want to simply rest it's ideal. There is lots to see and do in the area. There is a 2-plate gas stove that functions well - but I missed having a fully functioning stove.
- Gareth (9/5): -
- Esther (10/5): Sehr gerne immer wieder… - Wir haben es sehr geliebt und genossen… nette Hosts, tolle Sicht in die Bäume, lichtdurchflutet, sehr sauber, ausgestattet mit allem was man braucht und aufgewacht mit viel Vogelgetswitscher.
- peter (8/5): -
- Joanna (10/5): -
- Snow (9/5): Quiet and peaceful, handy for local shop etc. - Friendly hosts and the birds which came to visit us daily. Property was well set up for a self catering holiday. There were no easy chairs to relax in to watch TV.
- Bill (10/5): -
- Chrishonda (10/5): Out of this world, a little sanctuary of peace and tranquility. - It was peaceful, quiet and stunning. Highly recommend, if you’re looking to unwind and reset.
It’s not too far from tsitsikamma bridge, so if you plan on bungee jumping it’s the perfect location to stay. Nothing.
- Jefferson (10/5): - Maravilhoso o contato com a natureza, os anfitriões são pura simpatia, o lugar é lindo e o quarto muito confortável
- izelle (8/5): Unique and good value for money. - It is a special location and well kitted. Would have been great to have a bit of milk and coffee.
- rottiers (9/5): - The birds & monkeys
Being only surrounded by green
- Cees (9/5): -
- Saartje V (8/5): - Fijn dat je de wagen veilig achter een poort kan parkeren.
Prachtige, ruime en nette kamer in de natuur.
We konden vogels zien vanop het terras en hebben genoten van de rust.
Er werd thee, koffie en water aangeboden.
Lieve gastvrouw die ons alles uitlegde.
Grote valiezen laat je best wel thuis tenzij je sterk genoeg bent om ze mee te nemen op een trap.
Wij hebben een uitstap van hier naar Elephant sanctuary gedaan.
- Gillian Louw (10/5): A memorable stay in the forrest - The elevated position of the cottage, surrounded by tall trees, made us feel like we were in a treehouse. Margaret and Sally are excellent hosts, who went the extra mile to make our stay special. They even arranged close up sightings of the elusive Southern Knysna Loerie.Vwey special indeed! There wasn't anything to not like
- Lisa (8/5): Good place to stay near garden route - Great location for the garden route.
Owner was really welcoming. We couldn’t find the apartment for the first time. It was difficult because there was no service. But after some research we found it.
- Martin (9/5): -
- Fabian (8/5): Haus im grünen - Es war ein schöne Unterkunft mitten in der Natur.
Es ist in der Küche alles vorhanden.
Wir waren zufrieden. Beddecke könnte ein wenig länger sein.
Keine richtige Heizung vorhanden. Nur Strahler der mit einer Gasflasche angemacht werden kann
- Elzabeth (10/5): - Lovely cottage so tastefully decorated! Clean,comfortable with all you can need. Nothing!
- Vanessa (10/5): A gorgeous sanctuary amongst the trees. - The location was charming, the hosts were discrete but informative and the peaceful vibe was much appreciated. The space was large, with lovely windows and appeared to be very clean. The hosts are visual artists and we bought art pieces from both of them. There was a soap bar supplied no other toiletries provided.
- Léa (10/5): Magnifique cottage atypique et bien équipé - Absolument tout ! Cottage vraiment beau, tout neuf et décoré avec goût. Il est très bien équipé, avec une terrasse dans les arbres parfait pour observer les oiseaux. La douche a de l’eau chaude, ils proposent également de l’eau potable à boire (rare en Afrique). Très bien situé près de Eden of bird ou de Plettenberg.
Le personnel est très agréable. Je recommande à 100% pour un séjour un peu atypique. Rien
- van der Westhuizen (10/5): -
- Joanna (10/5): - The hosts were fabulous—friendly and full of local knowledge. The Treehouse was full of character and had everything you could possibly need. The balcony/porch with a braai is surrounded by trees, giving you the feeling of being right in the middle of a forest. The Crags is a little out of the way, but that’s the beauty of the place. The cottage offers excellent value in a truly wonderful location. nothing....
- sc413 (9/5): -
- Estie (10/5): - We enjoyed staying at the Treehouse cottage. The two ladies were helpful and friendly. It was lovely to wake up in the morning to bird songs. None
- Charmian (9/5): Superb - it was spacious, everything we needed was there.
very good value for money. no complaints
- Lize-marié (9/5): Recommended! - Beautiful! Friendly service. Nothing
- Kristoff (8/5): Very good -
- Koen (10/5): Magical - We were blown away by the beauty and felt very special to have been able to stay here. On arrival, a Knysna Lourie flew in to welcome us! That set the trend for the rest of this magical stay and yes its right up in the trees. Thank you Sally & Margaret who were attentive hosts!
- Malcolm (9/5): Superb - Warm welcome by Sally and Margaret when we arrived. Lovely spacious accommodation in an elevated log cabin surrounded by trees. Frequently visited by Knysna Loeries while sitting on the veranda. Very comfortable stay in a peaceful quiet environment.
- Grete (10/5): Exceptional -
- Werner (10/5): Exceptional -
- Karin (10/5): Super place! - Lovely cottage on a in the trees. Big space, comfortable bed an nice surroundings. The owners are extremely nice and helpful. It is perfectly situated close to the N2 but far from the noise. Very safe place. And as a bonus I had the visit from the Knysna Turaco Bare in mind it is upstairs and not suitable for people with reduced mobility or who can’t carry their luggage upstairs. The wifi was not very fast.
- Alwyn (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cristina (9/5): Superb -
- Lynda (10/5): Serene accom - The setting was tranquil, the hosts were great and the price was reasonable. The painting in the toilet could be switched with the painting above the dresser.
- Robyn (10/5): Truly beautiful - Sally and Margret are really the best! Always willing to help with fantastic suggestions and such a beautiful setting! We had such an incredible night at the Treehouse Cottage's if I'm ever back in Plett, I will definitely stay again. All the best and thank you!
- Bass (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful, peaceful location and cosy accommodation.
- Charlene (10/5): This was a beautiful experience. - Such beautiful surroundings and atmosphere. Very nature based which I love!! The room has everything you need. There is space for kids to sleep too. I love the birds and how this location is a hidden gem!! I wouldn't say I would change anything about this location. It is definitely my kind of place that I look to stay at every time I book accommodation. The bed was also comfortable so I cannot complain about my stay!
- Nicola (10/5): Cosy&Comfy Cottage - Cosy home away from home set in beautiful lush gardens. After a long drive, Treehouse Cottage was a welcoming instant relaxation. The highlight was the Knysna Loerie popping by every now and again for banana. We loved every minute & will definitely be back. Nothing
- Nigel (8/5): Very good -
- Todd (10/5): Excellent hosts and a very comfortable room. Great value for money and highly recommended. - Highly recommended and only sorry I could stay only one night. Facilities were excellent and the hosts were absolutely fantastic. Very helpful and provided valuable recommendations for local dining, They provided helpful guidance regarding directions and the local area which proved valuable assistance. Would absolutely stay here again! The only issue was that there is a barrier to the area which the property was located. Not a problem as the hosts were there to meet me and get me in but if I hadn't coordinated then it could possibly have been an issue.
- Coller (7/5): Relaxing stay - It's location is perfect for day time exploring as it is close to alot of activities and sights. We loved having the monkeys and loeries visit the cabin everyday and even got to feed the Loeries which was a special treat. The host was also very helpful with any and all our queries. The cabin was very hot and we struggled to get it cooled down. We would also have loved a wood fire to braai.
- Andrei (10/5): Exceptional -
- William (10/5): Exceptional -
- Francis (7/5): Good -
- Brian (10/5): Exceptional - Cosy cottage. We loved sitting eating our meals whilst watching the birds / monkeys!
- Angela (10/5): I loved my stay! - The treehouse is high up inmidst huge old trees. It is very private and an excellent spot for bird watching. Nothing could have been better for my needs. For persons with a disability the steep staircase might be difficult to tackle.
- Prasheen (10/5): Exceptional - The hosts were a true gem, they showed me around and pointed out the lovely birds and nearby scenic spots. The property is located in a quaint estate and it was lovely to be in such a calm environment. I will definitely go back.
- Hugh (10/5): Quiet and private location. -
- Cathy (10/5): Exceptional - We loved Treehouse Cottage. After the first night my son asked if we could stay longer than our 3 nights already booked! It was the perfect getaway. Comfy beds which included an electric blanket and a gas heater for the room for those cold nights. Lovely waking up to the sound of birds around us. Lovely afternoon sun streaming into the cottage. We will definitely be back in the future!
- Robert (10/5): The only place to stay in the Crags - The hosts are just great; they really made the stay. The property is filled with light and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. There are lots of birds (and baboons, so watch your personal belongings on the terrace). My only regret is that we did not stay longer. There are also tons of activities in and around the area to keep you occupied for a few days. Nothing at all.
- Guy (10/5): Exceptional - Location and nice and warm with gas heater
- Cyril (10/5): Exceptional - The owners are attentive and discreet, my accommodation was sublime, everything is done with taste and quality. You can come with your eyes closed, surrounded by a forest teeming with life. Thank you so much!
- Kim (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dona (10/5): We will book to stay again. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. - The location is great, in the trees with birdlife around you.
The facilities are clean and everything was provided.
Short drive to either Plettenberg Bay or Natures Valley nothing
- Johannes (9/5): Awesome. Peaceful. GREAT HOSTESS -

- Harrison (9/5): Superb - Lovely host, amazing location. Very safe and secure. Amazing Birdlife. Highly recommend Nothing
- Bryan (8/5): Very good - The location was wonderful. The cottage was so cosy and cute. There were baboons at the gate and birds chirping. Sally was lovely. In one word, the BROWN water coming out of kitchen, bathroom taps and toilets of course. We were sick for 3 days after our stay, and wondering whether that's what caused it... Please lovely owners, fix this.
- Tjoeks (7/5): Nice place just for relaxing. - We booked for the birds and did experience it. It was very nice sitting on the deck watching the sunbirds. Saw the Knysna Loerie in flight and heard it. Sally and Margaret is very friendly and is nice people. What you see is what you get. The books of birds with the common birds already marked. I like a hard mattress but this mattress is very hard. Luckily we did not plan to make food as only one of the gas burners worked.
- Jarrett (9/5): Superb -
- Janse (10/5): It was a perfect stay - Beautiful place, with monkeys and birds in the trees, very clean and really friendly and helpful hosts :) Nothing it was perfect.
- Zena (9/5): The tree house was lovely, we felt at one with nature. - The accommodation was self catering. There was everything that one would need to cook. The room got extremely hot during the day, there was a fan but it made little impact it just moved the hot air around the room, air conditioning would have been beneficial
- Britta (10/5): Exceptional - The atmosphere is so quiet and clear. Nature and peace lovers, go and stay there! That we couldnt stay longer and longer and longer....
- Liz (9/5): Superb -
- Sandra (9/5): Superb - We had a lovely overnight stay with our two kids. Lovely outdoor deck surrounded by lush trees and birds (two Knysna Loeries visited us on the railing of the deck). Excellent value for money! Just be advised you cannot make a fire with wood. Small kettle braai available to use with charcoal.
- Ettiene (9/5): Superb -
- Andreas (10/5): Exceptional - Best stay during our trip so far!

- Tamryn (10/5): Such a peaceful stay among the trees and birds. Great amenities and clean room! - The peaceful garden surrounds and bird sounds. The unit was neat and clean and there were great amenities, such as a gas stove and heater incase it was cold. It was a light, warm space too, that felt safe. Everything was great! Thank heavens there wasn't loadshedding when we went, because I wouldn't enjoy not being able to use these wonderful amenities (warm blankie and water supposedly not able to use during loadshedding as the pump needs electricity).
