We stayed here for 2 or 3 nights in November 2011. It was very comfortable and the accommodation was the most spacious I have ever experienced. Hardly anyone else staying which meant the atmosphere was non-existent but the staff were very nice and friendly - especially Godfrey in the restaurant. We thought the food was very good and in any... More

The accommodation is spacious, tastefully decorated, very comfortable and with beautiful views over gardens and the lake. A lovely place to stay for relaxing and exploring the Garden Route... just don't eat there! The food in the bistro is disgusting, the service appalling, and the chicken livers gave me food poisoning! What a shame that this beautiful resort takes no... More

We arrived there at around 8:30 pm. Because of the hour, we... More

We had a lovely 3 night stay at Lake Pleasant Living. We had stayed there previously many years ago and thus decided to visit again. We stayed in a 1 bedroom suite which was spacious and fully equipped with all you need to enjoy your stay. There was even a private patio with stunning views of the pool and lake!... More

We have been used to staying in Five Star hotels with all the add on amenities and luxuries and didn't know what to expect from a Specialty Lodging Villa. We got more apprehensive when we reached there late in the evening coz there is... More

We left from Cape Town to Sedgefield over the Easter vacation and pre-booked accommodation at one of the villas (chose a 4 sleeper) at Lake Pleasant. There is an abundance of accommodation to choose from along the Garden Route but Lake Pleasant is indeed a gem to find. The friendly and polite staff, impeccable accommodation, sightseeing, great food and tranquillity... More
