Our South Africa trip
Our stay was excellent in all ways. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. Breakfasts were very good. A problem with the curtain rail was fixed very quickly. Our initial 3 night stay was so good we extended the stay by another day

Overnight stay
We had an excellent stay at the redbourne country lodge. The bed was very comfortable. The room was large. The views were fantastic and even though we're close to N2 we did not hear any traffic. Until I opened the patio door the next morning to drink my coffee did I hear some traffic and realise we were close to the high way. Although we could not have supper there that night the manager on duty recommended a few restaurants in the area and the seafood restaurant we went too which was close by was excellent. Value for money. The breakfast the next morning at the lodge was as exceptional as I was lead to believe,. The breakfast was large with excellent food and service. The staff were great. In fact we had such a great time we will definitely try to get back there on our next trip to the eastern cape.

Space, comfort and tranquility
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Staff efficient and friendly. Hotel room was spacious, modern and clean. Had a cosy little deck which overlooked the manicured garden with the sound of a water fountain. There was a restuarant and a hair salon on site. It was lovely, highly recommended.

We won't be back
I'm sad to say that we did not think Redbourne Lodge met the standards of a 4-star establishment. Our room was 'OK' but 'bare', the shower plughole was dirty and broken, the plug chain in the basin was broken, there was no soap dish so it just became a squishy mess on the basin. The fridge was rusty, the security chain was broken, one hot tap in the basin was not working. The toilet flush needed attention. The slope in the shower was dangerous. The windows were dirty with what looked like mould. The toilet seat was loose. Outside basic plastic chairs, no cushions and no small table for drinks. Two bottles of water in the fridge - one already started!!! Nextdoor's TV could be heard very well. I don't expect to make my own toast in a 4-star establishment. Cornflakes 'soggy'. Not adequate to just cover with clingfilm. They don't stay crisp. On first day lots of people wanting to check out. No-one there to do it. Big queue forming in Reception. Eventually waitress did it which meant there was no service in the breakfast area. New people were arriving with no idea where to sit and no-one to take orders. It was fairly obvious they were selling up as agents were walking round with clipboards and we guess the state of the place reflects this apparent lack of attention to detail.

Very friendly staff giving great service. Very comfortable beds, and the underfloor heating in the bathroom was great. Loved the friendly feeling I got when arriving at reception, and the breakfast was good. Nice to be close to good restaurants, etc.

A small guesthouse outside Plettenberg Bay. When we arrived and asked about dinner we were told it had to be booked in advance but hadn't been asked if we wanted to order so a bit disappointing. Room was clean but furnishings a bit tired. Wi fi was dreadful. Not available in room and kept switching off. Breakfast was lovely. Overall ok for the money but too far from the town to walk in. Next time would pay a bit more and stay nearer.

Oakesy's Roadtrip
Myself and my daughter were on a road trip before she returned to England to work. I was also meeting friends for a round or two of golf at the Plettenberg Country club. Couldn't find a better location for golf, right on the doorstop. I found the staff very friendly and accommodating. One small negative was that we found the wifi intermittent and slow.

A great experience in Plett
Our stay at Redbourne Country Lodge exceeded expectations. The hotel is removed from downtown Plettenburg Bay, but easy to get to. The exterior of the lodge (looking a little like an American motel) doesn't due justice to the comfortable room, beds, etc. The breakfast in the morning was significant and filling. The staff were great. We were unable to use the pool and walks due to rain/weather. This was a very good stay and we were very pleased.

Friendly hotel on the Garden Route
Stopped for one night on Garden Route on way to safari. It was a superb place with friendly welcoming staff (after registration, we were shown to our room - not just given the room number and key). Excellent breakfast, cooked to order. We wish we could have stayed longer to explore the area.

Good hotel but problem not resolved
Hotel was generally very nice and good aesthetics. There's a small pool although we didn't use it. Location is about a 10min drive from the main high street which is where you'll find the main shops/restaurants. Room was spacious, nice big bed, separate shower and bath. The included breakfast was very good. Only issue we had was that the fan in our room was broken and couldn't be fixed. When we asked for a portable fan/air con unit this couldn't be provided so disappointing and we were very hot during the night. Free wifi a plus (when it worked!).
