Tamodi Lodge & Stables, luxury guest accommodation in Plettenberg bay was created by Lynne and Owen Johnston, their inspiration born out of a love for horses and the natural beauty and biodiversity of the Tsitsikamma coast. Joined by Chelsea, Owen’s daughter, and her husband, Scott, this family-run lodge encompasses everything that a family should ~ peace, relaxation, happiness and love. This passion is reflected in every aspect of the farm, from the carefully designed main house, two free-standing honeymoon suites, the two free-standing luxury suites and stable buildings, which blend with the bush and natural environment. The setting is peaceful and relaxing, offering 7 luxury suites to enjoy and unwind in, it is perfectly positioned for a holiday in the Garden Route. We provide a full breakfast, but suggest lunch and dinner at one of the fine Plett restaurants. Keurbooms beach is just 5 minutes away, where you can enjoy magnificent views over the bay.

Really amazing time. Owen, his family and team were wonderful. Full of useful information and ideas. The surrounding area is simply fantastic, so many varied and surprising options. The property and room were amazing . Truly an experience that anyone travelling in this part of the world should indulge in.

We’ve visited Tamodi 4 times in 10 years, the first being our wedding, so we have a strong bond to say the least! We cannot fault the team led by Owen and Lynne, the service, the food (best breakfasts in our whole trip by far!), the wine… we could go on! So special we almost want to keep it a secret 🤫

Tamodi Lodge offers everything for an unforgettable experience of the Garden Route. Incredible views of the Forrest, near by pristine beach, beautiful decorated and spacious Lodge, and mostly a home away from home thanks to the warm hospitality and attention given by all the staff. Thank you for a heartwarming experience. I definitely will be back.

This place was absolutely magical! The rooms were incredible with high ceilings and a lodg-y vibe yet still luxurious. The view was breathtaking and it was such a surreal experience to have a wonderful breakfast looking out at the horizon.

Tamodi is a place that feels so special and magical the moment you step on the property. It is picturesque and beautiful. It’s luxurious but so close to nature and calming. It manages to make you feel at home and in heaven all at once. The architecture and interior design are lovely without competing with the natural surroundings. The grounds are marvelous. The staff set the bar for true hospitality. They were magnificent and I felt myself comparing every single place I stayed afterwards to them. Nothing quite ever measured up to Tamodi. We miss it already and cannot wait to return. All of my friends and family who saw my photos there couldn’t stop asking me about this magical place. Picking a wine in the wine cellar and sipping it on the porch under the full moon with the sound of birds around? I mean cmon unreal (and I’m from Hawaii where that’s normal and I was still blown away by the beauty). Thank you Owen, Chelsea, Lynne and the entire team!

This was our second visit to Tamodi Lodge and again, our stay was outstanding. Lynne, Owen and Chelsea are charming hosts, and nothing is too much trouble. Their support staff are equally friendly and helpful and clearly enjoy paying careful attention to every detail, including different table decorations each morning for breakfast which is served overlooking the sun deck and pool, and with spectacular views across the surrounding countryside. By the time you return to your lodge after breakfast, the bed has been made and the room returned to its original pristine condition. The lodges are exceptional - each a vast, private, stylish space; supremely comfortable and fully equipped, and with the same stunning open views as far as the eye can see. We cannot recommend Tamodi Lodge highly enough and look forward to returning again next year.

Beautiful place, fantastically large/spacious rooms/suites and run by a lovely family team who deliver 5* star service in a relaxed/informal way, set in the hills close to Plettenburg Bay. Couldn't recommend highly enough!! Go!
