My partner and I stayed at Trogon House and Forest Spa in May 2013 and we had the most wonderful time. From arrival to departure our stay was made a special, welcoming and personal experience by the accommodating staff. We would also like to thank Shannon and Cornelle for their communication and hospitality before our stay, which made booking arrangements... More

WOW! What a beautiful and magical place we found in the middle of the forest! This was truly the highlight of our whole vacation! Wonderful, friendly staff who made us feel at home from the minute we walked in and gave us loads of tips of what to do around the area during our stay! Beautiful rooms and amazing views... More

On arrival we were instructed to make ourselves comfortable on the deck while they are cleaning up our room for the night. We wated for half an hour! Ridiculous! Rooms should be ready for their guests!!! No warm welcoming, we felt really uncomfortable! Room was terribly cold and not recommended for winter months! Bad smell of toilet overwhelmed the room....

Trogon House, what can i say....Firstly We turned into a tiny little "offroad" section and after about a 5 min drive came upon what was to be a our home for 3 nights on our 10 day honeymoon trip. To say that we were speechless is an understatement. My wife and i both looked at eachother and knew immediatley that... More

Trogon House is beautifully situated in a forest with lovely glass rooms. However the curtains do not quite meet in the ceiling meaning if it is full moon, as it was when we stayed, the moon wakes you up! There are lovely outside and inside areas for lazing around in, beautifully decorated, but there is no privacy in your room... More

I am writing this review on behalf of our guests from Germany. Patrick & Melani stayed 3 nights at this B&B. It was their first time in SA. They were only able to stay for 10 days in SA. Saw Hluhluwe, Cape Town amongst others. Their "absolute HIGHLIGHT" was Trogon House. They loved every minute there, as well as "Katja's"... More

When you take the turn off at Monkeyland and onto a two track road, it seems unlikely that you are heading to a luxury guest house. But the dodgy drive is well worth it. What awaits you is a series of wood, glass and stone buildings that are interconnected by boardwalks. The main house is my boyfriend and my idea... More

We had the entire property to ourselves and loved being tucked away in the forest. There are many glass 'walls' or windows and although you're deep in the woods it may not be for you if that thought is unsettling. We found it incredibly romantic ... not for those looking to have plenty of staff attention but extremely private ...... More

What an amazing time we had celebrating our honeymoon. The service was excellent, the "family" are very hospitable and friendly. One is truly made to feel very welcome and at home from the time you arrive. Affordable priced and definately a trip we will take again. The view of the forest and mountains certainly helps you to feel like you... More
