Guest Reviews
- Minette (10/5): Fantastic experience and looking forward to stay again! - It is located in a perfect location, where all of Plett is easily accessible.
As a woman travelling alone I felt safe - especially coming into the property at night.
John was incredibly helpful and friendly, making me feel right at home!
- appie (10/5): -
- Katharina (10/5): Bestes Guesthouse in Plettenberg - Ein ruhiges Plätzchen zum runterkommen. Die gesamte Anlage und die Zimmer haben solch einen Charme wir konnten sehr gut entspannen und das Personal ist unglaublich freundlich.
Auch John ist einfach eine Persönlichkeit, die man kennenlernen muss, ich denke die anderen Bewertungen bestätigen das auch :)
Jeden Tag nach dem Frühstück kommt er mit seiner Landkarte zu einem an den Tisch und gibt so viele gute Tips, wie der Aufenthalt rund um Plettenberg ein Erlebnis wird. Einfach empfehlenswert, wir kommen gerne wieder!
- gillian (8/5): Beautiful location.lovely room and avery warm and helpful host - Stunning location. Big comfy room. Beautiful pool. John , the owner is very helpful. Made a big difference. He was always on hand to give advice Some things were a little bit tired. The shower could do with updating as could a few other things
- katia (10/5): Magnifique… allez y - Y aller sans hésiter
John est super … quel incroyable hôte. Que de bons conseils et quel sympathie
Chambres très chouettes et belle piscine
Tellement à faire dans la région Ne pas pouvoir rester plus longtemps … merci John pour tout
- Sabine (10/5): Vielen Dank für den sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt. Der Gastgeber war sehr zuvorkommend und bemüht. - Uns hat die ruhige und gepflegte Lage des Anwesens sehr gefallen. John ist ein fantastischer Gastgeber, der sich um das Wohl seiner Gäste sehr bemüht und mit ausreichend Infos über die Gegend und mögliche Aktivitäten mit Rat und Tat zur Seite steht. Seine drei sehr niedlichen und lieben Hunde sind seine treuen Begleiter und haben uns, wie John, sehr herzlich empfangen. Das Frühstück war ebenfalls sehr gut. Wir können John als Gastgeber weiterempfehlen, wenn man Wert auf eine ruhige aber zentrale Lage im Plettenberg Bay legt.
- Drew (10/5): - Beautiful location just outside of Plett but only a 5 min drive. Lovely area and scenery, and plenty of restaurants in the area. John is the best host, he has loads of good formation and ideas for doing things. We will definitely come back here and need to stay longer so we can see more of the lovely surroundings
- Isabel (9/5): Top accomodatie - John is een supergoede gastheer! No nonsense, to the point, hij geeft goede tips over wat er te beleven valt in de omgeving. Ook de restaurants die hij aanraadt zijn de moeite: Bramon, Enrico's etc. Een absolute aanrader! Een mug die ons wakker hield 😀
- Guest (8/5): - John ist ein herausragender Gastgeber. Nimmt sich für jeden Gast Zeit und gibt jeden Tag gute Tipps was man unternehmen könnte.
Anni ist auch eine herzensgute und bereitet einem ein sehr leckeres Frühstück zu.
- Sally (9/5): -
- Florian Galler (7/5): Gute Unterkunft in Plett mit motiviertem und hilfsbereitem Host - Nette Lage, funktionale Flats, super freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Inhaber, der uns Ausflugstipps gegeben hat. Die Flats bräuchten teilweise ein bisschen mehr Pflege, v.a. die Duschen und die Lichter - teilweise auch sehr hellhörig. Handtücher müffeln schon ein bisschen, vllt austauschen
- Reindert Jan (8/5): . - De lodge ligt in de vallei net buiten het centrum. Het straalt rust uit en gezelligheid. De eigenaar John is een zeer vriendelijke man, die iedereen elke dag tips geeft om te bezoeken of om de doorreis zo goed mogelijk te maken. De prijs kwaliteit verhouding vinden wij niet helemaal kloppen. Voor dat geld verwacht je dat het ontbijt van een hogere kwaliteit is, net als de wifi. Deze is eigenlijk erg zwak. De kussen in de stoelen, de ligbedden bij het zwembad zijn aan vervanging toe. Al met al hebben wij hier toch een heerlijk verblijf gehad. Zie hierboven.
- Jörg (8/5): Super Lage, Tipps, leider Hunde - Eine sehr gute und ruhige Lage, sowie die guten Tipps von John. Unser Einstieg mit dem ersten Zimmer (klein, muffig, ohne Privatsphäre) war nicht sehr glücklich, aber hat sich sehr vorteilhaft entwickelt. Wir bekamen ein Appartment, dass alle Wünsche erfüllte. Danke Die drei Hunde, die regelmäßig präsent sind, sind friedlich. Aber eben auch beim Frühstück sehr präsent und für uns störend.
- Xavier (10/5): Nice place to stay and warm welcoming - Very good welcome. John gave us lot of useful information of what to see nearby, where to get the dinner… The lodge is in a quiet place and have a nice view of the valley and the ocean.
- Cinganzulu (10/5): -
- Peter (10/5): -
- Matías Andrés (10/5): - Werd friendly owner John and Team . Besutifull Location near Town . Thank you
- Beverley (7/5): Good - The view was amazing! The location of the property was ideal. Our room was clean and breakfast was lovely. There was no TV in the room and the TV in the shared lounge did not work all the time.
- Evans (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chris (9/5): Superb - The lodges are at the edge of the city and therefore provide you with a stunning view over the valley. The host and lovely dogs were great and Annie provided a nice breakfast.
- Alice (10/5): Lovely place to stay with the loveliest host - Amazing location just outside plettenberg bay. Really easy to get into town or out to explore the surroundings.
John's welcome, warmth & overall lovely hospitality really makes you feel at home.
His tips & advice for everything from where to eat to what to do during your stay to what to factor in when you've left are spot on and can save you a lot of time & stress.
The grounds and view are spectacular and easy to relax in, kids loved the pool, and the 4 legged residents.
Would 100% recommend and will remember for next time. Nothing
- Manca (10/5): Great! - The owner and dogs were super nice to us! We received incredibly helpful trip recommendations, including hidden spots and great restaurants. :) <3
- Lisa-juana (10/5): Exceptional - Nice quite place, good location, nice breakfast (thanks Annie) and incredible host John!
- Edouard (10/5): Incredible lodge in Plettenberg Bay - We absolutely loved our stay at Piesang Valley Lodge!
The lodge in itself is beautiful, with stylish, spotless rooms, a beautiful pool and a lovely breakfast, but what made our stay there really outstanding is John's (the owner) hospitality. Every morning for breakfast he would give tailored advice to all the guests depending on their desires / expectations / time, and you could really tell he knows the area inside out and wants everyone staying at his lodge to have the best time.
The Piesang Valley lodge was our best stop on the Garden Route! Honestly, nothing.
- Tim (10/5): Would definitely return - All excellent especially John the owner who could not have been more helpful and informative Nothing
- Hlarise (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stephanie (10/5): Perfect getaway - will be back! - Wish we could have stayed longer - John is an absolute star and it’s obvious he loves Plettenberg Bay and his property - you can feel the love. Amazing hospitality, great recommendations and a stunning set up. Not a dealbreaker - but quite the fun bathroom set up 😊 will bring you closer for sure. Loved everything!
- Claudia (9/5): Superb -
- Louise (10/5): A home away from home - Our stay at Piesang Road Valley was one of the best places we stayed at during our holiday in South Africa. The rooms are simple but clean. There is a large swimming pool where you can relax with your own food and drinks.
The breakfast is excellent, and while eating, you have the most stunning views of the mountains and the sea. It is also dog-friendly. The owner, John, is a very friendly host who helped us with great tips and recommendations.
The manager, Annie, is a lovely woman who takes care of the rooms and breakfast.
We truly felt at home at this place and would definitely recommend staying at Piesang Road Valley when you are in Plett!
- Carolin (10/5): Exceptional - Everything! Especially John as the best host
- Nonhlanhla (10/5): Exceptional -
- Giovanni (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean and cosy lodge, well located just outside of Plettenberg Bay, excellent breakfast and a very welcoming host
- Stefano (10/5): Exceptional - Quiet place, nice and very helpful people mixed with a wonderful breakfast right after a good night of sleep. What more can you ask?
- Pamela (4/5): Disappointing - Great breakfast and location In spite of two phone calls no one at reception when we arrived apart from the maid who seemed very confused. Asked for an extra blanket but this was not available. Small jug of milk in fridge which we used when we arrived. Not enough for morning coffee. No bottled water in fridge. Both of us slept badly. Accommodation needs to be upgraded. Facilities and service very disappointing.
- Jule (10/5): Loved every minute staying here ☀️ - Everything! We loved the town, the atmosphere, the host John, the views, the room, the breakfast. It was the best stay so far!
