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.
