We had heard about Tamodi on Tripadvisor and when there were no negative reviews it was too good an opportunity to miss on our Garden Route trip. The magnificent lodge was built by Owen and his wife in a magnificent location as their home and when their kids grew up they decided to turn it into guest accommodation. The lodge has only 4 bedrooms, but those bedrooms are huge and beautifully furnished with superb views and every possible amenity. But good accommodation is only part of the mix and what brings people back is the combination of location and superb friendly staff. Owen himself cooks a mean breakfast! For local food there is a private road down to the beach for Enrico's Italian restaurant on the beach and on the second night Owen recommended and booked the Fat Fish in nearby Plettenberg which was an excellent choice. There is also a comprehensive wine cellar downstairs where you go, choose a bottle, and enjoy at your leisure. A highlight of our trip to South Africa.
