Nestled at the foot of the Outeniqua Mountains and centrally situated in the heart of the Cape Wildflower Floral Kingdom—Africa’s Garden of Eden—our resort offers an ideal base for exploring the region, hosting conferences, weddings, special occasions, and events in George and the Garden Route. We cater to business, holiday, and leisure travelers, whether you're visiting for the weekend or planning an extended stay. Our location is also perfect for sports groups passing through to their next game. We have 46 self-catering holiday units. All our rooms and chalets are spaciously designed and equipped with modern comforts and amenities. Breakfast is available upon request, depending on the resort's event schedule and availability.
Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to TGCSA - Tourism Grading Council of South Africa.
The apparently newly built luxury chalet (it was not yet on offer at the Pine Lodge Resort 3 years ago) was located in the quiet hill area on the edge of the resort. The large chalet with living-dining area, bedroom, bathroom and terrace was very well furnished: including a large corner bathtub in the bedroom. With the constant cold, often strong wind, the electric radiator was a blessing. The resort's restaurant was a bit gloomy, but the food was solid.
The chalet was really luxurious, but the view of the sea was very limited and direct access to the beach was not possible. Since the accommodation was offered as a self-catering chalet, a slightly larger selection in the resort's tiny "supermarket" would have been desirable.

Spent a short stopover for 3 nights on a golf tour of the area. Great location to some outstanding courses.
The chalets are a various sizes but all were just what we needed, they had a reasonable kitchen with most amenities, less washing machine. Rooms and beds were comfy and clean.
Pool area was great and close to the bar, on site restaurant as also very good.
WIFi also on site.

Good service from staff - they were friendly and efficient and also went out of their way to notify me of an item I left behind. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The room needs some general maintenance.

My family of 4 headed to the Pine Lodge on a Saturday afternoon, expecting to settle in to our accommodation for the evening before heading out to the function we were attending in George for the evening. To our surprise and disappointment, the check-in office was closed at our arrival. We arranged with the check-in lady beforehand that we would arrive before 15:00. When we arrived at 13:30, the only staff member on the property was a security guard. We approached him to ask if it would be possible for someone to check us in. He stated that it would only be possible if we paid all fees directly to him in cash. This didn't sit well with us, as he had no identification as a staff member of Pine Lodge, and this was not the arrangement we made with the check-in manager. We then contacted the manager directly. She responded very rudely and said that if we didn't pay all fees upfront and in cash, we would not be allowed onto the property. This was not in accordance with the arrangement we made earlier, so we decided not to proceed with this absurd and rude encounter and rather seek accommodation elsewhere. After a few calls, we were luckily taken in by the Whispering Pines. What a lovely, old-school stay over we had after all. After the rude and unprofessional treatment at The Pine Lodge, they will unfortunately never see us again.

We reserved the weekend to commend my child's 21st birthday. We informed the woman who booked us in that we're hosting a get-together/braai, she said it was alright she'll be giving us two units close to one another. I told the woman we are 12+ individuals staying in mentioning a 2x 6+ sleeper is preferred, she informed me that the units she was offering would be enough and she concurred it is fine to keep a gathering. Next thing the day I'm being brought in the office and being abused in front of other guests by the receptionist. The manager needed to converse with me telephonically in light of the gathering and of the clamor. The manager was deprecating me and yelling at disclosing to me that I assume to leave despite the fact that we paid for two evenings. The manager is an unprofessional Discourteous old woman segregating towards my child and his companions while I went to the shops to get food expressing that they're giving her lodge a terrible impression. She had no privilege to converse with them in an obtuse way. The staff was not inviting. Maybe we were at a jail because we weren't permitted to play any music nor be outside the units after 10 pm. I would not return nor would I recommend the lodge to anyone.

Oh……. I would never suggest for people to consider this as a guesthouse it is a terrible place. And the owners are not good people. First of all I wanted to support this small business just to empower them. They told me that every after 18 or 20 booking they will give me one weekend free stay with my family as a weekend coupon but after I completed my first 20 nights when I demanded my free weekend they told me that they don’t do it anymore. What a Hippocrates I said. They never told me while I was checking in and they were signing my coupon card which they gave me at every check in. I mean what is the point of signing the coupon card for your guest of you are not going to let him use it.

We even got a present from them. It was so special. 10 out of 10 recommend. They are also affordable. So any future brides look no further and book as soon as possible.

We made this a halfway stop between Port Elizabeth and Cape Town and stayed over for one night.
The unit was reasonably clean and accommodation was available at short notice.
The units have lots of burglar bars and we stayed against the boundary fence so did not feel that safe.
When we read previous reviews about neighbours being noisy we thought nothing of it; to our disappointment we had the same problem. We were woken up at 2:30am extremely loud conversations of the neighbours next door and you could tell they were intoxicated. This continued for more than an hour.
This place could really do with stricter enforcement of their no noise after 10pm policy. If you're going to stay, ask them how they control noise made by other guests.

This hotel has a dishonest receptionist who lied to me about the availability of WiFi. There is WiFi, but I had to wait five minutes between each response to a keystroke, which made it completely unusable.

Responded 10 Dec 2015
Dear Daniel Charles F, Thank you for your review on Pine Lodge George. We appreciate your frustration with regard to poor Wi-Fi reception, it is unfortunately poor and sporadic in this area, and is something totally out of our control, let alone that of the reception staff. Therefore to accuse the receptionist of “dishonesty” is misleading, and quite frankly, offensive. We are just sorry that you had to rate your stay at our resort based solely on Wi-Fi reception, or the lack thereof. Yours in hospitality, Mariana van Rensburg, Marketing Manager
