Lairds Lodge Country Estate

This was a beautiful hotel everything about it was very tasteful and very relaxing. The staff were very friendly and professional we were looked after by Eric and Barnard . We only had two nights, and I wish we had booked for three. You do need a car, but it is perfect for a base to check out the local area. I have to mention the wonderful gardens perfect for sitting in and relaxing.

We arrived at Lairds Lodge after being on safari and it was ideal for chilling. This is a beautiful house with wonderful gardens. The swimming pool is in a lovely part of the estate and has plenty of chairs. The staff were all friendly and cheerful and go out of their way to give you excellent service. The breakfasts were amazing with a large self service buffet and then a big choice if you wish to have a full cooked breakfast. We had dinner in the hotel one evening and that too was lovely. Our room was spacious with tea and coffee facilities and complimentary cake. It is ideally situated if you want to visit Plettenburg Bay and we also visited the Robberg Nature reserve and Birds of Eden. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this charming hotel.

This was a stop over between a trip from Oudtshoorn to Shamwarwi and lovely couple of nights. The Hotel is set in beautiful natural grounds which are very well kept. The staff just amazing, ensuring everything is as we needed and polite all the way through. Breakfast amazing, rooms very comfortable, private garden areas tranquil.... definately return if we were passing through again.

My husband and I have just spent a three night Christmas break at this wonderful hotel. What a hidden gem! All of the staff go above and beyond to look after their guests. The food was amazing, we loved everything we ate. We booked a Luxury suite and it was fabulous, comfortable bed, a huge room and so quiet. The shower pressure was fantastic. What a find, we will be returning next Christmas for sure. Thank you Lairds Lodge! Fiona & Bob x

Beautiful place. So comfortable and relaxing, with lovely staff, gorgeous rooms and delicious food. Loved all the common spaces, especially The Monkey Bar. The perfect place for our group to be able to relax and unwind at the end of our trip.

A beautiful home from home. Stunning grounds and pool. There is no typical restaurant on-site, or room service, but they do a set menu each evening at 7pm. This is delicious, so worth it. The staff were very attentive, warm and caring. Each morning at breakfast the manager asked us our plans for the day and provided recommendations and local tips. Thanks to this we managed to catch the Saturday market and dine at a local nearby restaurant (Zinzi, highly recommend!), which we would otherwise have missed. The hotel even drove us to/from the restaurant at a very reasonable cost and the driver was so nice. The room and bathroom, though really clean, is slightly dated. The bathroom more so than the room. The tiles had just been painted over and the taps really stiff. The shower pressure was rubbish. It could really do with a refresh. There was also a lack of attention to detail with no hooks for dressing gowns, a lack of plugs, hair dryer didn’t work etc. It wouldn’t put me off going back, but just not as luxurious as we expected. Otherwise a really good stay, I’d give 4.5 stars if I could.
