Our stay at the little private cottage in "Fynbos Ridge" was an experience we'll treasure forever. Tucked away in the stunning landscapes behind Plettenberg Bay, this gem offered us an unforgettable blend of luxury, nature, and exceptional service, proving to be worth every penny.
The highlight of each morning was breakfast on their terrace, where we were greeted with breathtaking views of the lush valley stretching out beneath us. It was not just a meal; it was an experience, enhanced by the serene beauty of our surroundings. Though the views were not of the ocean, the sweeping vistas of the valley were spectacular in their own right, offering a unique and mesmerizing beauty that captivated us throughout our stay.
Fynbos Ridge boasts an excellent view of the valley, especially notable during sunset. Watching the sky paint itself in vibrant hues while the valley beneath us transitioned into evening was a daily spectacle we looked forward to. The pool, a tranquil oasis, provided a perfect vantage point for these moments, adding a refreshing touch to our sun-drenched afternoons. The kids loved it!
The attention to detail and care from the staff was exceptional. Not only was our room kept in pristine condition, but the surprise of finding our car cleaned was a testament to the unparalleled service and thoughtfulness that Fynbos Ridge offers.
While slightly pricier than other options, the value received in terms of amenities, views, and service was incomparable.

Posted 7 Apr 2016 on HotelsFor the price it was pretty blah! Good quality breakfasts were served though
We had absolutely no cable TV although promised. Host sais it would be fixed but this never happened

Lovely secluded setting
Posted 6 Jan 2015Although just off the main road Fynbos Ridge is a secluded haven. Very beautiful property in a lovely setting with spectacular views. We only wish we were booked in for longer.

Absolute bliss!
Posted 23 Dec 2012 on HotelsA perfect place to stay! Everything provided for our complete comfort and a comfortable area under the stoep with easy chairs and dining area for our use when entertaining guests. The 'honestyt' bar with wine and larger was a great help Excellent breakfast provided and our host cooked dinner for us on a couple of occasions - both delicous. Altogether a great experience!

Pros: Peaceful, beautiful setting, great food, wine & local knowledge
Cons: Hvaing to leave to continue on our travels
As soon as we arrived it was clear that this was a gem of a place. A warm friendly greeting, careful and detailed explanation of how everything worked and what we might see around the cottage (it is in a nature reserve) was helpful. We ate there the first night and the food was just fantastic, as was the wine. Breakfasts were superb - best scrambled egg and bacon ever! We enjoyed it so much that we were talking about cancelling the booking for our next destination so we could stay here longer, but couldn't in the end as guests were coming in after us :(
