The room was a bit like a luxury micro tel. Very well thought out layout. Smart TV so that you can watch prime or Netflix. Delicious cookies in the room to go with tea or coffee. The shower was delightful. Excellent bath and soap products. Very well decorated. Very friendly staff. The room included a beer tasting - as it is located by the brewery. Excellent location in the Pisang valley

Our stay at Cliffhanger Cottages was incredible and we would highly recommend it to anyone. The attention to detail left us wanting for nothing and we were absolutely blown away by the views, visible from everywhere in the cottage, including the shower! The braii on the balcony & watching the sunset over the mountains are truly highlights of a wonderful trip on the garden route. Close enough to Knysna for shops etc. but distanced enough to fully immerse and hear nothing but nature. Some amazing hikes nearby with waterfalls and streams to bathe in during the summer months. We'll definitely be back next time! Thanks, Dean and Nikita!

Great value for money property. Location is right on the freeway. Extremely convenient to explore the region. Huge space with seperate living and bedroom. The Kitchen was well supplied with utensils and cutlery. For a family or a group , this is a great choice. The receptionist was kind to let us check in early. Overall a very good experience.

I was very impressed with the cabin, rooms were super cozy and it was very well equipped. Braai area was good and wood was provided without any extra charge. The private beach was very pretty and there were some toys for the kids to play with. There were also kayaks for guests to use.

Nice and modern hotel. Room was clean and breakfast was great! The location is also very nice as you’re a couple of minutes walking from the Waterfront. Lastly, there’s parking available on location and there’s always a guard, which I think is a great plus

A beautiful region, with excellent restaurants.

A beautiful region, with excellent restaurants. The Grootrivier and (Western Cape part of) the Bloukrans River passes are exceptional, as is Nature's Valley. 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. Thyme & Again restaurant is also a favourite.

We loved staying at Waves and Whales so much! Exceeded our expectations and we had such a warm welcome. Communication was clear and perfect from when we made our booking and even after our stay. Beautiful views, stunning decor and everything and more is there...for your comfort and convenience. We loved every sunset and spent hours on the patio. We really enjoyed our time as a family and made beautiful memories.. we would love to return in the near future! Thanks for a great time and all your love and effort that you had put into your little gem! We've noticed it from the 1st moment of our arrival and appreciate it more than words could explain! Looking forward to our next stay

Natures Valley is very special. Most other bays in the area are over developed and commercialised. Natures Valley still captures the time when going to the beach was not all about how magnificent your property was. Lets hope it stays that way.

The number of bergies or street people hanging at the SPAR and surrounding area for the size of town was disconcerting. Nearly had an incident regarding the snatch of a cell phone. Wonderful little town with good restaurants and upkeep of paths and benches wonderful to see. Clear marking of dog friendly beaches helpful.
