Sited in the middle of the forest, Trogon is a beautiful open glass house. The guest house was peaceful and relaxing and Wilma and Mark are very friendly hosts. At night the house takes a very special and romantic atmosphere. The food was nice but no choice of wine.The spa was simply perfect and regenerating after a long road trip.... More

We visited Trogon House for two nights in April. The road (path)leading there shows signs of deterioration and could do with some basic grading. Signage could be a little more obvious. If you don't know the area, you would likely not find it if you arrived in the dark. That being said, we arrived and were welcomed very warmly by... More

Architecturally, Trogon House is stunning, with very comfortable rooms and two generous main suites. The location in midst of the dense forrest, close to monkeyland, is special and provides an extraordinary flair for stay and sleep. Wilma and Mark are very friendly and gracious hosts and all other staff are friendly and attentive. A very good breakfast is served, with... More

Trogon House is a beautiful location, the road to get to it can be a bit worrisome but taking it slow and easy gets you there. Trogon House is basically two lodges linked together by a walkway through the heavy forestation. The upper lodge has a sparkling clean blue pool and a few rooms and is where the meals are... More

Well, if you see it you will love it. This area has changed over the last two decades but there is still magic. I believe you have to stay in such wonderful places like the Trogon House to feel the real africa. We got treated so well and the hospitality was charming in all aspects. The food, Mark, prepared, was... More

We spent three days at Trogon House. We were not disappointed. The standard of accommodation was excellent. We ate dinner twice, while there, Mark is a great cook and Wilma provides great front of house. You really feel like you are house guests. The long drive is something of an adventure, but when you arrive the property more than meets... More

We stayed at the Trogon House and Forest Spa for one night however we could have stayed longer. The hosts made us feel so welcome and were such an interesting couple to get to know. It is quite a small hotel so we ended up eating dinner with other guests, which was a great experience. The hotel is stunning, with... More

We had the most amazing weekend at Trogon House and Forest Spa. The staff is friendly, helpful and not intrusive at all. The hostess Wilna is amazing and really knows how to connect with her guests and made us feel at home. The food is absolutely wonderful and value for money, very high standard. The spa facilities are beautiful and... More

Trogan House is approached by driving down a rather long forest track which begins next to the main entrance to Monkeyland – which is just off the N2 at The Crags a few miles east of Plettenberg Bay. The track follows the monkey-proof wire fence that surrounds Monkeyland before veering off further into the middle of the forest. And when... More

We stayed here for 2 nights in January and were blown away! In the middle of the forest! In rooms with glass walls! It felt like you were sleeping in the trees. Rooms were gorgeous, with no blinds or curtains - privacy just came from the branches! Also in the rooms - no door to bathroom, so you have to... More
