This is a hidden gem.
We were not lucky with the weather when we arrived there - but we wished we could stay longer.
The place is well hidden in the forest and you can fully immerse yourself in the relaxation. The views at the sunrise and the sunset are amazing and also you can watch the birds directly from the shower.
The breakfast was delicious as well as the dinner.

We picked Colourful BnB for its location on our way when travelling by car across South Africa. Honestly, we planned it just for a night break and weren’t expecting much. But Wow - we wish we had booked to stay longer and make it our accommodation for exploring the Garden Route. It's more than BnB! The house is spacious and well equipped (even some musical instruments are there). The wood for BBQ, wines and crafted beer were prepared for our arrival. We heartily thank Gert-Jan for his advice to upgrade our initial booking and for his hospitality. The hosts are really love their place.

Andrew

Amelia and her family were great hosts. She organised for her son to get me from Plettenberg to her cottage and I'm very grateful for that kind gesture.
The cottage is conveniently located, very close to birds of eden and walking to and fro was a joy.
I would certainly book her cottage again.

A beautiful region, with excellent restaurants.
A beautiful region, with excellent restaurants. The Grootrivier and (Western Cape part of) the Bloukrans River passes are exceptional, as is Nature's Valley. The Birds of Eden is THE world leading bird conservancy -- the biggest anywhere with free flying birds in a magnificent forest with a beautiful kloof, waterfall ,,, The nearby Monkeyland and Jukani conservancies are also probably the best in Africa. Thyme & Again restaurant is also a favourite.

This is definitely not a family holiday spot!
This is definitely not a family holiday spot! It could, at best, be a backpackers lodge. The water in the bathrooms was brownish, and although there were assurances that it was healthy, we were sceptical. The rooms were tiny and barely furnished. The kitchen is communal and almost 100 meters away from the rooms - very inconvenient for those rainy days! What about the toilet and bathroom outside the rooms! We had surely booked the wrong place, and stayed only for one night out of four.

Its a wonderful place to stay, especially since it is 18kms...
Its a wonderful place to stay, especially since it is 18kms from Plettenberg Bay, so its more serene than Plett over the height of summer. There is a lot to do in the vicinity. We loved our visits to the elephant sanctuary (an absolute must-do), the wolf sanctuary, Birds of Eden, Tenikwa (wildlife rehabilitation), Jukani (wildlife sanctuary, especially for Big Cats) and Monkeyland. There's a super water park (Adventureland) about 19kms away, with fabulous waterslides. We made the mistake of not booking restaurants for dinner in advance. Over late December / early January most places were fully booked, which really limited our options and we spent a lot of time calling around, which we could have avoided. I would scout the restaurants and book well in advance next time.

Animal sanctuaries are awesome and accommodation peaceful...
Animal sanctuaries are awesome and accommodation peaceful with beautiful views but restuarants are very limited especially durin the month of May when they shut down. If I did it again I would probably either pack food or stay in Plettenburg bay and travel through to the Crags for a day visit to the sanctuaries.

- From £21.75 per night7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 28 reviewsWe found everything we might need in the cottage like plates, pots, pans, pillows, blankets, etc. The cottage itself is a modest place with 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, a nice view, a parking space in the garage. The hosts are such a friendly and lovely couple. The host made us very delicious breakfast and brought it early as we asked the previous night. We enjoyed our stay a lot, it definitely was a good value for money, quite close to Nature's Valley. There's also a supermarket nearby.OlenaUkraine

EmmosUnited Kingdom - 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 227 reviewsThis was a magical place to spend time on our South Africa vacation. The Villa is outstanding with the lovely rooms, resident animals/friends who gave us lots of cuddles, fabulous food and the host are very caring. I felt like I was wrapped in a warm blanket of care. Scrumptious breakfasts and phenomenal dinners. I cannot recommend this place enough! Luckily we spent three nights here but would have loved to spend even more time.

- 9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 201 reviewsUber-family friendly, your kids can run around and have fun, go to play area or swim in the pool or simply play in the cottage garden. Very convenient location, close to Natures Valley, Plett but also away enough from holiday crowd. Incredible nature and surrounds. Lovely hosts. I miss this place already. We came with our 10 and 3 years old and we all had so much rest and fun. We will be back!AlicjaSouth Africa

The location is very close to the world-leading Birds of Eden, and equally close to the excellent Monkeyland. Conveniently close to the beautiful Nature's Valley, the magnificent Grootrivier Pass and the equally magnificent Western Cape portion of the Bloukrans River Pass.
