“Pleasant Stay on Lake Pleasant”

Reviewed April 9, 2013

Just a kilometre past Sedgefield on the Garden Route. The property is situated on the shore of Groenvlei, the only fresh water lake in this area of the south coast of South Africa. A mixture of hotel rooms and chalets. Three swimming pools, a spa, well attended garden and a pleasant bistro style restaurant complete the amenities. Our double bedroom... More

“The Lake was pleasant but the service wasn't”

Reviewed March 10, 2013

The room was luxurious and the setting perfect. The gardens were immaculate and the first evening meal was great. However when a large party arrived standards deteriorated. We gave up waiting for our main course after 90 minutes. We were asked to move our car from its allocated parking space during breakfast and were disturbed at 6.30 in the morning... More
