Review of Tamodi Lodge
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Apr 3, 2016
My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights (23-25 March) as it was one of the nearest accommodations to Forrest Hall Estate where we were attending a wedding. The setting is really stunning with panoramic views over the surrounding heavily wooded countryside the lodge is tastefully decorated with high ceilings and spacious communal areas. Our room was very comfortable and also had great views from the balcony. The breakfast is delicious and the cook to order option is total indulgence. The staff are extremely helpful- the owner , Owen drove us to the wedding venue himself at no charge to us, and was on hand to answer any questions we had about the area. Slight downside is that there is no restaurant, but we were aware of that on booking and there was a lovely family run pizza place in the hotel at thie end of our road. Overall, Tamodi is a luxury lodge in a very beautiful and peaceful setting and was by far the highlight of our accomodation on the Garden Route. We did not want to leave!

    This is exactly where you have to stay when in Plettenberg and around and you're searching for a place with...
    Spacious, luxurious equipped rooms with stylish interior
    Delicious Breakfast
    Nice Mountain views from your room and the public spaces in the lodge.

    And if you do not mind to stay a bit away from the beach and Plett.

    On top of that everything was clean.

    This was a uniquely designed and built property with spectacular views and beautiful rooms.
    The service was excellent and the breakfasts beautifully cooked and presented. Owner and staff were friendly, approachable and helpful. Delighted we chose to stay here and just wish it could have been longer.

    We stayed in the honeymoon suite: beyond imagination!!
    The beautiful furniture, a wonderful bed, the 2 showers in and out, the design bath tub....The view and the deck are superb.
    The winecellar provided us with an excellant bottle of champagne MCC.
    We really felt pampered by the whole staff and Owen is just the perfect host.
    The most romantic place to stay, We can recommend it.

    Nice people, stunning view, lovely room en delicious breakfast! Best place to stay for one of a coupe of nights. Pool is beautifull. For the rest is the neighbourhood quite boring. Nog really nice restaurants close to tamodi.

    All I can say is - WOW!! The photos on the website do not do it justice - it is even more spectacular. We were absolutely blown away. Owen has done an amazing job of building a very special place. It's one of those places that you will reflect on for a very long time. The only thing that would make it better is if they offered dinner - breakfast was amazing! We stayed for two nights in the "honeymoon" suite that is detached from the main house. The furnishings, views (same view as other rooms) outdoor shower and beautiful, free standing tub make it a romantic place you won't want to leave. Both nights we took the short drive down to Enrico's and ordered a take-away dinner, which we enjoyed on our deck with a bottle of wine from Owen's cellar.

    This is truly a special place - don't hesitate to book a stay if you are in the area - you won't be disappointed!

    Owen - thank you for your warm hospitality and for a most memorable stay.
