Of all the magical places I have been lucky enough to visit around the world this is right up at the top. Liz and Brian were incredible hosts, Plumbago room was outstanding as was the breakfast and view from the dining room. Liz sorted out whale watching and a marvellous dining experience. Exceptional accommodation.

A stunning location, clean comfortable with excellent hosts. If you want to get away from it all while enjoying the garden route, you will not do better. The view from the pool is particularly memorable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Fynbos Ridge. We had a very friendly welcoming and we found the owner to be very accommodating. The views are absolutely breathtaking and the pool was a big hit with our kids. The romantic fireplace in our main room was an unexpected plus!

Lovely stay just outside Plettenberg and great to be in the country side. Little walking trials in the fynbos and wonderful views. Listening to the bird songs and the evening symphony was a treat. We were welcomed warmly and shown to our huge room which was spotlessly clean with all the facilities required. The bed was the largest we stayed in in our 3 week trip and was very comfortable. The bathroom had a lovely bath and a great shower. Breakfast was plentiful, fresh and a hot option cooked to order. Highly recommended.

Our stay at Fynbos Ridge was great. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. Check in and all arrangements were promptly attended to as requested. Grounds are beautiful and would love to return in summer to use the pool! Thank you Liz and Bryan for a wonderful stay.

Wow, what am amazing place - I am so glad our travel agent found this place! We only stayed one night and I was really sad to leave. I'm not sure if our agent booked the lovely cottage we stayed in or we just dropped really lucky with it being available for the night of our stay, but wow, just wow, what an amazing place to stay! The views were breath-taking and the stars at night were like nothing I have ever experienced before! The cottage was absolutely stunning! So well looked after, with all the amenities you'd need. It was so spacious and comfortable with such a huge bed in the main bedroom I got lost in it! Open fires in the lounge and bedroom meant we could get really cosy and warm. There's a pool with another amazing view but we didn't really get a chance to use it as it was a bit chilly! The shower was amazing with brilliant water pressure and there was also a fantastic large bath in the en suite bathroom. Brian and Liz were welcoming and really lovely and we didn't notice until we were driving away but someone washed the car for us and we didn't say thank you so sorry about that and thank you so much! Location-wise, Fynbos is outside of Plettenberg Bay but it was perfect for us as we were stopping for the night on our way to the Eastern Cape. I do wish I'd have had more time there and will definitely think about going back in the future.…

The service was great. The rooms were very comfortable. The location well positioned away from the immediate traffic of Plett. The breakfasts a great way to start the day. The overall setting quiet and relaxing.

Heavenly! We stayed in one of the cottages near the outdoor pool - my goodness the views were breath taking! We felt like the last family on the planet being there and that we had the world to ourselves (give or take a few monkeys) The quiet was welcome after being around Plettenburg or Knysna, just wonderful. Large property with everything you would need, include BBQ with firewood. Liz and Brian were super too - very patient with my 10 year old asking lots of questions about their pets and general life. Close to Knysna for the elephant park, closer again to the wolf sanctuary and the bird sanctuary are well worth a visit.

Brian and Liz provide a friendly and personal service of the highest standard at this country house. We received an upgrade to a spacious cottage which included full self catering facilities, as well as both indoor and outdoor fires, and logs provided Both the cottages and the main house are beautifully furnished. Brian’s breakfasts are five star plus, with his fruit salad and cooked breakfast outstanding. Laundry facilities are offered at a very reasonable cost and completed at a high standard. All the staff are very courteous, and service the cottages, including setting the fires, whilst guests are at breakfast, and on the final day, wash the car for guests. Fynbos is some distance out of Plettenberg, so a car is essential. Brian and Liz provide comprehensive advice about the area and knowledgeable insights into local flowers, birds etc. It is a perfect place to stay on the Garden Route.…

Finding this B&B, which lies about 7 km west of the Marine Way traffic circle exit off the N2 towards the town of Plettenberg Bay, is easy during the day. As the hosts note in their reservation confirmation email, there is a brown, national road, arrowed signpost that indicates one’s close proximity to the turn off onto a dirt drive leading to the B&B. That turn off is a little farther west past the sign and can be tricky to find from dusk on as there is no marker at the actual turn off. About 100m down that dirt drive, the drive forks. There is a small, unobtrusive sign on top of a fence post indicating that the B&B is to the left, though that sign would similarly be hard to see from dusk on. We stayed in the main house in the far-end corner room looking out onto a covered, open outdoor patio area and the back gardens, which are quite lovely and very peaceful. Our room was spacious and nicely appointed, with a very comfortable king-size bed, a walk-in closet area, and a luxurious bathroom and shower. The only very minor blemish on our stay was the morning when load shedding ran from 6-8:30 AM (a most inconvenient time slot); and we discovered that, although there was still running water (as the hosts’ information sheet had indicated), the hot water only lasted a few minutes, which we had wondered about earlier. Regardless, the setting of this B&B was idyllic, and extremely peaceful and relaxing. Brian and Liz are excellent hosts; and the breakfasts were both timely and delicious, not to mention the added benefit of being able to view the gardens while eating. If we ever come back to the Plettenberg Bay area, we would definitely look to stay here again.…

Thank you for your review, and we are pleased that you enjoyed Fynbos Ridge. We note your comments and will check that the signage is still reflective at night. We are limited by the Roads Department as to what signage we are allowed to erect. The load shedding is a dreadful inconvenience for the whole of South Africa. Hopefully it will get sorted out soon. We look forward to hosting you again if you come this way.
