• "Not value for money"

  29 November 2017

  "I paid for bnb and was disappointed when I arrived at the establishment. I was told that there is no breakfast served and I had to ask in advance and I had to pay extra. The room was extremely dirty and not well kept. Hosts are friendly but I paid for a bnb and was left extremely disappointed"

• "Awesome sunrise but scary dogs"

  20 July 2017

  "We received a warm welcome from Andre and May. There was some confusion about our booking but they were able to sort this out. The place was well equipped for self catering. The bedrooms were very pleasant. The views from the lounge space were beautiful and we saw the most spectacular sunrise over the lake. We, however had two disappointments. First, that venue is not where it is shown to be on the SafariNow site - it is further out of Wilderness than we would have liked. And the second major disappointment was that my husband was bitten by the owners dog. The dogs were barking loudly and aggressively but we were reassured that they were harmless. However, without any provocation, the one dog bit my husbands leg as he was unpacking our car. The bite drew blood and caused bruising. We have three small children so we were quite concerned about their safety. We hope the owners will make a better plan to keep their dogs far away from guests in the future."

• "Home away from Home"

  03 May 2017

  "We had a wonderful stay at Forest Lake Manor, excellent rooms, excellent breakfast and the most excellent hosts May & Andre made us feel like we were at home. Thank you"

• "Very friendly owners and a very clean apartment"

  02 March 2017

  "The other apartment was not rented out for the night, therefore we could use the lovely sitting/dining area. The two apartments are next to each other and the lounge round the corner, so you might loose a bit privacy in the case of two not related couples, but our stay was a feast. The road from the N2 a bit bumpy and you have to drive carefully at night."

• "AMAZING!!!!"

  06 February 2017

  "One of my best weekend stays in Wilderness to date! Love the atmosphere, the views and especially the people - they were extremely hospitable and friendly. The place is stunning and have everything you need for a relaxing weekend away from the busy city life! Will definitely go again."

• "Fantastic Place to recover"

  23 November 2016

  "The approach drive is somewhat to get accostumaded, but sholuld not deter. As a reward we were greeted by an extremely amiable host couple as well as very spacious, painfully clean and lovingly prepared rooms in an accommodation on a hill in the middle of a forest with a great view of a lagoons landscape deep down in the valley. The breakfast were - in our opinion - old English Style, with a really tastefully prepared table arrangement for the freshly prepared and very tasty breakfast.<br/>If you need to recover: One week there and you are fit again!.."

• "A very peaceful stay"

The location was beautiful and quiet, but also conveniently close to other attractions and the beach. We hope to return to Forest Lake Manor for another visit soon!"

  "Thank you so much Andre and May. The Manor was our last stop on a very short holiday in October.<div><br /><div>We spent 3 lovely nights in this lovely log house, and we could not fault the service we had, both prior to arriving and during our stay. Having the lovely breakfast room with all the amenities to ourselves, was really a bonus. The location was perfect as it allowed easy drives to many interesting places in the area.</div><div><br /></div><div>I wish we could stay longer, and would not hesitate to come again and recommend the Manor to others</div><div><br /></div><div>Estelle and Lyn</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>"
