We loved every aspect about the place. We had most of our interactions with Bruce, Marco and Wonderful and were treated better than royalty. They were engaging and super hospitable. The food is delicious , well portioned and well worth skipping going anywhere else for. We stayed in the honeymoon suite for 4 nights and, after a day out, would come back to a roaring fire and candles. The room and surroundings is something out of a fairytale - big open windows with nothing but the forest guarding your privacy. Being right next to Monkeyland, ensured being woken up with the Gibbon's calls echoing through the forest.

The Birds of Eden is THE world leading bird conservancy -- the biggest anywhere with free flying birds in a magnificent forest with a beautiful kloof, waterfall ,,, The nearby Monkeyland and Jukani conservancies are also probably the best in Africa.

This is definitely not a family holiday spot!
This is definitely not a family holiday spot! It could, at best, be a backpackers lodge. The water in the bathrooms was brownish, and although there were assurances that it was healthy, we were sceptical. The rooms were tiny and barely furnished. The kitchen is communal and almost 100 meters away from the rooms - very inconvenient for those rainy days! What about the toilet and bathroom outside the rooms! We had surely booked the wrong place, and stayed only for one night out of four.

Its a wonderful place to stay, especially since it is 18kms...
Its a wonderful place to stay, especially since it is 18kms from Plettenberg Bay, so its more serene than Plett over the height of summer. There is a lot to do in the vicinity. We loved our visits to the elephant sanctuary (an absolute must-do), the wolf sanctuary, Birds of Eden, Tenikwa (wildlife rehabilitation), Jukani (wildlife sanctuary, especially for Big Cats) and Monkeyland. There's a super water park (Adventureland) about 19kms away, with fabulous waterslides.
We made the mistake of not booking restaurants for dinner in advance. Over late December / early January most places were fully booked, which really limited our options and we spent a lot of time calling around, which we could have avoided. I would scout the restaurants and book well in advance next time.

Everything was amazing, what a gem.
Everything was amazing, what a gem. The food was tasty, beautiful location which resulted in beautiful pictures. Even Diesel was a pleasure to meet. We loved everything and we will definitely be coming back
One of the best places we ever stayed during our travels! Beautifully decorated, so many details! As if you are walking though a vintage shop. Very tranquil with the views and all the animals walking around. They all love to cuddle! The owners are very friendly and prepare amazing food every night served in the lovely restaurant. We ended up eating there every night.
Location wise ideal to explore the Plettenberg bay area without staying in the busy areas.
We stayed for a view days at 20 good summers and it was terrific.
Very clean and spacious room with a large, comfortable bed. Well decorated and beautiful art.
Fast laundry service as well.
Surrounded by nature and nearby great hike trails and beach. Hosts gave us a warm welcome and everything we needed. The farm stay is totally off the grid, so no loadshedding. Really recommend it!
We absolutely loved our stay at Trogon House and Forest Spa. The view, the food, the room, everything was perfect. “Wonderful” looked after us, he truely was wonderful. Our favourite stay in South Africa.
