The Kwelanga country retreat is very nice place to stay with a central restaurant (beautiful view) and independent cottages that are well equipped. Don't hesitate to ask Mandy or Andries whatever you want and they will be delighted to help you out. We got plenty of very good advice (thank you Andries for your recommendation of the Oubaai Golf Club)... More

We stayed at Kwelanga Country Retreat between Christmas and the New Year period, and we found it to be some of the most memorable days of our trip. The host Dries went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable and he was very helpful and friendly, even coming for a late night drink for an evening braai. The... More

We had a wonderful stay at Kwelanga in December 2011. The resort overlooks the sea and accommodation consists of wooden chalets. There is a restaurant and a full English breakfast is included in the overnight rates. The manager, Dries, was very helpful and provided meat and salad for us when we decided to have an imprompu braai (barbecue). We will... More

The accomodation is in a fantastic location with views over Mossel Bay and so quiet that it is possible to hear the ocean. The chalets are very homely and well equipped. The restaurant is nothing short of fantastic and chef Andrew and his crew really bring only the best to the table. More

Spacious lodge with lovely sea view - and wildebeest wandering around the grounds. The bed was a little hard for my taste but the shower room was of a very good standard. Excellent food - Andrew, the British chef, is reputed to be one of the five best chefs in the area. We only stayed two nights but had the... More

We justed returned from a fantastic and romatic getaway at Kwelanga Country Retreat. We stayed there for nearly a week and did not want to leave. We stayed in one of the double chalets with breathtakings view of the ocean - just imagine waking up to that every morning. We were lucky to have great weather the whole time so... More

Out of the 4 different places we stayed at during a recent holiday to SA this is the one we loved most. Our lodge was basic but very clean and comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts and they went out of their way to make meal times very enjoyable and relaxing, even with 2 children there! The... More

An absolute disaster of a holiday! A misleading website promising fantastic accomodation with fully equipped self catering units (since when does a hotplate consitute a well equipped kitchen, try cooking your christmas turkey on it! Fortunately they did offer to do this in their ovens). Arriving with two families of 9 people for a christmas get together, planning to cook... More
