Tranquil accommodation in lovely setting”
Fernery Lodge is spectacularly located overlooking a gorge. Our chalet was perched on stilts on the gorge edge and appeared completely isolated from our neighbours. A totally relaxing location. Staff were very attentive, the food was excellent and the lodge grounds are beautiful. The restaurant has spectacular views across the gorge and to the sea. Dinner and breakfast were both excellent. There are a number of walking trail options from the lodge. The short trail in the grounds is excellent. However a longer option that takes you through mainly pine plantation we found boring. Well worth the 10km drive in and excellent value for money.

Highly recommend The Fernery. Breathtaking views, top class meals, friendliest staff and the quietest rooms. Stunning trails for walking and running, also cycling. Braai on your own chalet patio. You will be disappointed if you only stay for 1 night. This is a great place to unwind and relax.

EXCELLENT AND EXCLUSIVE”
The break away of your life. Far enough away from the busy life stile. A place where time stands still. You sleep and awake with the sound of the waterfall cascading in the Sanddrifriver. You can relax for hours in the jacuzzi with a spectacular view of the gorge meeting the sea. The food and facilities and the service are excellent.

Amazingly picturesque!”
We really enjoyed our stay at The Fernery Lodge. We had the Owners Suite and it was quite indulgent! After almost a month of staying in some very basic accomodations, we knew this was going to be a bit more opulent - and it didn't disappoint! The views are amazing, and the suite consisted of two levels, the entrance level was bedroom and bathroom, with beautiful, strong shower, and lovely bathtub. The downstairs was a living room and almost fully self catering kitchen. I only say almost as there was a little bit of a lack in plates and cutlery (but this was really only a minor inconvenience for us). The living room also had a lovely fireplace. Both levels led out to a beautiful balcony where you could hear birds singing, and the wonderfully soothing sounds of the waterfalls and ocean. We used the braai for two of the three nights, and ate at the restaurant on the other night. The staff were delightful, and always willing to help out with any questions we had! We loved it!
