Review of Tamodi Lodge
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 21 May 2018
We loved everything about Tamodi Lodge. It was the best part of our trip to South Africa.

We stayed in one of the detached suites & it was fabulous!
The room, the view, the bath, the outside shower, the walk-in wardrobe, the wood burner fire, the swing seat on the deck, the breakfast, the welcoming staff - all top notch.

We ate every night at Enrico's restaurant, just a short drive away - that was fantastic too.

Book now - you won't regret it (& make sure you check out Owen's wine cellar)!

Room Tip: Detatched Honeymoon Suite 5 was brilliant.

    Tamodi Lodge is one of the nicest places we've ever stayed. The hosts and staff are warm, cheerful, and helpful. The owners live basically on-site and have paid tremendous attention to detail in the design, construction, and operation of Tamodi. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed. The breakfasts were beautifully served and delicious. Tamodi has a variety of inviting common spaces for reading, chatting with other guests, lounging on the deck or overlooking the Infinity pool, or enjoying the fireplaces. We had very good dinners both nights at Enrico's, a short drive down the hill to the beach.

    The Johnston family has created a fabulous, stylish lodge in a beautiful location; the views from Tamodi are literally breathtaking, overlooking the valley and distant mountain range. This is a very special property and we really enjoyed our stay here. Waking to the sound of birdsong and then experiencing a Tamodi breakfast makes a truly luxurious start to the day - the breakfasts are fabulous! It was a wonderful treat to stay in the honeymoon suite and the outdoor shower is to be recommended..... Big thanks to Chelsea, Nathanial and the rest of the team for looking after us so well - we hope to visit again.

    We visited Tamodi Lodge in March with another couple and although we stayed in many lovely places during our six week trip, Tamodi was voted our favorite. The lodge, the rooms, the breakfasts - all was well planned. The view was amazing. We enjoyed our dinners at nearby Enriques Restaurant as the location on the beach couldn't be surpassed and the food was delicious. A fun place.
