Review of Tamodi Lodge
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 13 Jan 2018
We stayed in 7 different hotels during our trip through the garden route and this was definitely our favourite. The views are absolutely stunning and the honeymoon room was just beautiful - huge, with out own deck, outside shower, was just perfect. The breakfasts were so delicious and the wine cellar, although we didn't indulge, is a great added benefit. The staff were all lovely. Only thing I would say for eating is that the local restaurant Enrico's is insanely busy, it was normal for people to wait 2+ hours to get seated! I believe we waited for about 1 hour 45 which is crazy, but it's in a lovely setting so you can grab a drink and watch the sunset while you wait. I would highly recommend Emily Moon instead which is about 20 minutes down the highway - this was our best meal in SA.
Back to Tamodi, it is a visit that I will remember for a long time, and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

What an amazing place! So well thought out and run beautifully! The accommodation was out of this world and we were made to feel totally welcome by Chelsea and her staff.

The breakfasts were utterly delicious and a great selection on offer, for lunch we visited the local vineyards for winetastings and cheese and spent evenings at Enrico's Italian on the seafront. When we got back, we visited the on-site wine cellar and picked out a bottle of superb wine to enjoy back in our lodge. Every detail was perfect. Left feeling totally relaxed and happy.

Also Storm the gorgeous sheep dog who joined us on our walk around the farm was super friendly and we enjoyed throwing sticks for her to retrieve.

We have recommended to family who are staying there in a few weeks and we honestly can't wait to return on our honeymoon!

Room tip: The honeymoon suite was fabulous!

Excellent stay.
Family run lodge - Chelsea (and not forgetting Nathi) were incredibly professional and helpful.
Spacious rooms, with magnificent views. New stand-alone units are to die for.
Highly recommend.

We took the whole place for our party of 15 for two nights.
It has been beautifully created, with beautiful views towards the mountains. The location is out of the way & very private & peaceful. It was great for our family group who spent most of the day lazing in the sun on the deck by the pool.
The owners & staff were lovely.
Highly recommend this gorgeous place.

Hi guys,

Thank you so much for your positive feedback! We absolutely loved having the entire family stay with us, it was so festive and the staff had a great time looking after you all! We hope that you are enjoying the rest of your trip in South Africa and we hope to see some, if not all, of you again in the future!

We visited in early December for three nights and it was far by the best place we stayed at during our 2 weeks in South Africa. Our room was the recently completed Deluxe Honeymoon suite which was absolutely fantastic. The room is open plan, very spacious and makes the very best of the breathtaking scenery as well as providing true comfort. The attention to detail is phenomenal and there is not a negative thing I could say about this wonderful room. Chelsea and her staff couldn’t have been more welcoming, nothing was too much trouble and the quality of the breakfast accompanied by stunning views was exceptional. There is a host of great things to do in the surrounding area and we would particularly recommend the Bramon Vineyard. We had got engaged a couple of days before our stay and our time at Tamodi made for a perfect trip. Look forward to coming back and seeing Chelsea and the team again soon. Nick & Kate

We had a lovely relaxing break at Tamodi. Chelsea and her staff were wonderful hosts and were so attentive with service and helpful with advice. Our daughter had recommended that we stay here and we in turn recommended our son to stay and the whole family fell in love with Tamodi Lodge.
