Very good accommodation which was hugely overpriced compared to other similar accommodation we stayed in on our trip to South Africa. In a very pretty bay it was also so set back that you would not have been aware of the seaside location. More

We recently spent 3 wonderful days at The Dunes - the whole ambiance of the place is fantastic and Sarah, the manager, is delightful and could not do enough for us. The place has a real African feel in terms of furnishing and every where is kept beautifully clean. The breakfasts here were the best we have ever experienced in... More

It was good to relax at the nice pool after a day in the car. We stayed one night at this friendly place. The breakfast next day was the best we got the three weeks we stayed in SA. Home baked bread and a fantastic yoghurt and whatever you asked for. It is easy to recommend this place to others.... More

We stayed here on our first night on the Garden Route. The lodge is beautiful and the rooms are huge. I think the bathroom is bigger than our bedroom at home! Our room had a lovely outside seating area which was a lovely place to sit and read. The lodge is in a lovely setting and we seen lots of... More

After a long day on Garden Route N2 we pulled into St Francis Bay to look for The Dunes Country House. Our friends had stayed there one year prior to our arrival and told us how great the place is. The country like setting up in the dunes above St Francis Bay along with the plantation style feel made this... More

My business is selling travel within southern Africa to the rest of the world ! Indeed no small task but after fourteen years and going exceptionally strong, I have a formula that I call my business model that differentiates the good from the exceptional .

We only ate breakfast but it was well set out with lots of choice, and was delicious. We did not join any of the extra trips but had we been there... More
