A Special Place To Stay

Review of Tamodi Lodge
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 03 Apr 2014
From the moment you walk through the big double doors Tamodi will take your breath away. Constructed in the manner of a superior game lodge with high, soaring roof lines, wide spaces open or easily accessible to a South African summer, the accommodations are well spread from each other and supremely comfortable, private and, yes, just a bit decadent but in the most tasteful of ways. The place is a designer dream full of space, quiet art, peaceful moments, stunning views and beautiful furnishings. You really do feel as though this is one of the most stunning place you are ever likely to stay in.

Owen and his staff and very helpful. Breakfasts on the covered balcony area are top class and delicious. There is a great restaurant and beach just a few minutes down the lane so there is no need to drive into Plett if you don't feel like it. Based upon our experience the restaurant (the name escapes me but it is Italian) is one of the better ones in the area full of locals which is always a good test.

Tamodi is not cheap by South African standards but it is a stand-out and worth every penny for a special stay. Go spoil yourselves.

      Tamodi is quite honestly Plettenberg Bay's best kept secret !! Tucked away, overlooking an indigenous forest creates the perfect setting for a relaxing and rejuvenating holiday. From scrumptious breakfasts, to wine tasting from Owen's private collection, to relaxing at the rim flow pool reading a book from their library, to luxurious accommodation with rooms with a view....Tamodi has it all !! Close to tourist attractions & town but far enough to be in a tranquil setting - I love this place and will return as often as i can !!

      An absolutely breathtaking place from the moment you arrive. The welcome, our room and breakfast were all first class. We slept with the curtains open - the stars were so bright in the black sky, and the view in the morning was first class. Will return one day.

      The location of this lodge is superb, great views and close national parks. Owen and his staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are nice and clean, breakfast is great, both in quality and quantity. If we come back to South Africa, we would definitely return.

      Stayed here for one night in February and loved every moment! We had the honeymoon suite which was stunning. The breakfast delicious and the welcome very warm. In fact we enjoyed it so much that we've booked and paid a deposit for next year- 3 nights next time!

      This accommodation is so unusual and so perfect in every way. You really feel your are on your own huge luxury home with invisible people anticipating your every need. Enricos restaurant at the bottom of the hill is the icing on the cake.
