Beautiful rooms and a very private, exclusive lodge. It felt like something from Hemmingway, with fireplaces for cooler evenings, but white tablecloths and excellent food/wines. The game drives were excellent and our guide was very knowledgeable. We saw a family of cheetahs chase and kill a deer, which was a highlight of the trip. One day it rained and the elephants (15 or so) came out to play and bathe in the pond below the lodge. Fantastic!

Wonderful quiet and unique treetop location. The rooms are fabulous and service excellent. Food was exceptional too.

everything was perfect, the apartment and the staff.

Good value for money! Excellent food! Knowledgeable guides with the biggest respect for nature! Situated at a riverbed with a lot of animals!

I don't usually write reviews as I work for one of the largest travel, leisure and hotel groups in the world, but this stay was so exceptional that I must. From attentive, friendly staff that would always go above and beyond, through to a beautiful location and thoughtfully appointed rooms. I would highly reccomend this as a place to escape and relax. If you like high quality, this is definitely the place to be.

Gorgeous setting, with beautiful view! We loved the fireplace in the bedroom and the all-open space of the room. The proximity of the beach is a blast!

We spent 2 nights in Motswari Private Game Reserve and it was an unforgettable experience! Wonderful food, service, exclusivity and personal attention. Our ranger, Marius was exceptional and made every game drive and our walking safari unforgettable. His trackers, Elvis and Misha was just as amazing with their knowledge of the animals and the bush. We saw 3 of the 5 "big five" in just 1.5 days of being there, thanks to these guys. The food and service at the lodge was beyond our expectations in every way. I was a vegetarian and they catered for me with exceptional skill and charm. The food was really outstanding, thank you Glenda and team! Our other hosts, Desmond and MJ looked after every detail and made our stay wonderful. Our room was large, luxurious and comfortable. We each had a great massage too (thank you Lerato), in a space where you can watch giraffes walk by... The setting of this private lodge is amazing, you overlook a river with giraffes and elephants walking by. We even had a hyena come close to us while sitting around the camp fire - so special. This was a once in a life time experience and we hope to be back again soon!

Beautiful hotel with stunning views over Cape Town. Every corner of Dorp, from its guest rooms, to it’s main dining room, to it’s multiple game and social rooms, has been carefully crafted to embody a level of charm and wisdom only nourished with age; having been built a few years ago, this only reinforces the talent behind the interior and exterior architecture and decor. The attention to detail, from warm smiles from all staff, to an exquisite culinary menu, and finally to the care and hospitality shared with guests has made this hotel one of the best we’ve been to - ever.

Delicious and very plentiful breakfasts. Lots of hot and cold choices, including daily local specialties. So many that over our 3 day stay we couldn't sample them all! We loved the carefully curated decor, and the welcoming, friendly, helpful staff. Located in a quiet neighbourhood, just a few minutes walk to great restaurants and shops. Felt like a luxurious home away from home.

The property was absolutely stunning, and felt like a home away from home. The ultimate destination for pure relaxation and luxury. We loved everything about our stay and the staff were extremely friendly, helpful and provided good recommendations for our stay in Hermanus.

Just fantastic - can’t fault it in any way!! Wow!! Food, location, scenery, staff , accommodation
