This luxury hotel is situated outside of Plettenburg off the main road to Storms river, adjacent to the riding stables. The building sits on a ridge so the views across the forested valleys are amazing, however, there are no shops or restaurants within walking distance from the lodge. Also note that Tamodi does not offer horse riding as the stables are for training event horses/riders. A great base to explore drive and explore Robberg, Plettenburg beach, Storms River and Bird/Monkey world.
The main building houses some bedrooms and very spacious lounge areas and the breakfast area. There is also a small infinity type pool and sunbathing area. We were able to book one of the rooms (honeymoon suite) that was separate to the main block, with its own parking area and lit paths back to the lodge. The room was huge with indoor and outdoor showers, a dressing room, double bath with views, a terrace, kitchenette and lounge area. It was so private that we felt that we were entirely on our own and could sit and watch the wildlife without interruption. We were surprised that this suite did not have ironing facilities and the lodge does not routinely offer laundry facilities. One other trivial point was that internet access was only in the main block and the selection of English speaking TV channels was poor for such a luxury set up – but maybe that is by design?
Breakfast was taken in the main block and was cooked to order. Lovely food with large portions, great staff and superb views – so nice to dine outside but also have the option to sit inside if needed. Although there was no evening meal option it was nice to come back to a peaceful relaxing atmosphere and be able to choose a bottle of wine from the cellar and take back to our room. Try Enricos for evening meals - great views and food to match.
