Trogon House and Forest Spa

We loved our stay at Trogon House and Forest Spa, a beautiful retreat deep in the forest. The architecture is stunning, like a Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece, all glass and stone and hand-hewn wood beams with gorgeous furnishings all built into the treetops and connected by elevated wooden walkways. One of the advantages of visiting in the shoulder season is that we were the only guests and had the chef and butler to ourselves for dinner by the fire (food was excellent, personalized service even better). On site massage was a nice treat as well. Highly recommend staying here!

It was an unexpected pleasure. The forest, the beauty, the great service from Wonderful, Bruce, Harry, Brenda, and a pleasure to meet and chat with Carol. This is a unique place and one that we enjoyed immensely.

Truly amazing location. One of a kind. Staff were incredible. Not like any place we have ever stayed. Only issue was shower leaked into room a little bit otherwise incredible. Wish we could stay longer. I loved how away from the world you feel but still with all the modern amenities.

Very different to other places we have stayed. Really enjoyed it. We were exhausted after long journey but within half an hour felt relaxed and chilled. Staff were lovely . Ate in for the three nights we were there and were impressed by the lovely food, two nights were by a roaring fire and one outside. A really good start to our holiday and would certainly recommend.

wow wow wow breathtaking i don't even have the words to describe how beautiful trogon house is, from the staff to the food just wow! Thank you so much to the staff for such a heart warming welcome and also to the amazing chef for our amazing dinner and breakfast, to you for putting up with all my questions. Thank you for making our 16th anniversary memorable, we had the most magical time, Once again thank you thank you so much.. Everything was perfect, only good that I can speak about everything was beyond perfect.. Thank you again From Mrs & Mr Francis

Trogon House is quite simply a magical place to stay. A stunning boutique accommodation perched up in the trees with incredible views, luxurious rooms and wonderful food. The excellent Elephant Sanctuary and Monkeyland next door were brilliant 'Things to do'. Would highly recommend a stay here.

Horrible experience! Don’t go, waste of your money! Upfront everything seemed fine, we were contacted by the hotel via whatsapp to inform us of the loadshedding and asked us if we’d like to have dinner in the hotel. Also some useful instructions on how to reach the hotel which is located in the middle of a dense forest, after a slippery, narrow and steep road which is by no means safely accessible without a 4x4 in rainy conditions. When we arrived the premises looked completely abandoned, no guests to be seen, no one behind the reception desk. When we arrived in the lobby a guy stepped from behind a wall welcoming us. No formalities whatsoever, he got the key and walked us straight to our room (no. 3). Immediately when I entered the room it smelled horrible, musty. The room didn’t look all that great, filthy carpet, bathroom had know beter days. Windows did not open or close properly, no easily accessible wall plugs. Everything felt damp. Sheets yellowish, although they should have been white. Stinky towels, stains in the bed. After sitting on the terrace next to the murkey pool under a ripped parasol my friend and I decided we didn’t want to stay any longer. We put our luggage back in the car, handed over the key and told the receptionist the hotel was by no means what we expected. It was absolutely not worth the money we unfortunately already payed before arrival (EUR 140 for one night!) and left for the beautiful, cozy and clean Barrington Hotel in Plettenberg which also was much cheaper.

Very nice location. Friendly staff. Good food. Basically all that is required for a quick breakaway. Prices on wine the best I have seen on travels. Quality selection! Only issue is the access road if you are travelling with a lowish vehicle. Plan ahead for this.

This breathtaking lodge with beautiful pool deck overlooking the treetops is literally the best place I have ever stayed at. Nestled in the forest with tree views punctured through the walls in the rooms and bathrooms make this place a cocoon for the soul. The landscape valley views from lounge and pool deck are priceless. From cleanliness to staff to food, it was simply outstanding with superb location near plettenberg berg bay and animal sanctuaries. Our car overheated as we arrived and Carol and staff went above and beyond to help get us transport. Carol we hope to see you and your friendly staff again now that we have discovered this tranquil, rejuvenating and mesmirizing viewscape. It literally felt like a doorway to heaven! If you want to enjoy a unique experience away from crowds, that is just exquisite, pull off the N2 and go to Trogon House and Spa.
