The moment I entered the lodge, I was sorry we had only booked for one night. Very nice ambience, our room Milkwood was amazing (honeymoon suite). The interior design and the view - great. We had booked massages and a facial in their spa. I can highly recommend both - very professional and very good job. In the evening they took us by car to a restaurant and picked us up again. We really appreciated that. The restaurant suggestion was a very good one. The breakfast was tasty, with different healthy varieties to choose from. I would say, that it was a wonderful breakfast. We sat outside and enjoyed the view into the exotic garden and pool. Don‘t forget to order a cappuccino. Excellent. I also want to mention that they supply their guests with mosquito repellent, pool towels and even a panic button at your bed side. I thought this very attentive and I appreciated it.

It was a birthday gift to a family member and I mentioned the special occasion in my booking. My family were excited to receive a welcome basket of goodies for their birthday and a room that was sea facing. The Manager called them personally to invite them to a complimentary dinner but they were full from the delicious goody basket. They were then offered a complimentary breakfast and were very happy with the range of vegetarian foods that was provided to cater for them. The hotel more than exceeded our expectation in terms of making it special for the family member. Will definitely stay at Coastlands when we visit South Africa again.

Amazing location and sea views. I had a room with sea-views with a very large balcony. Too bad we had no time to walk on the beach or enjoy the pool, still stunning place. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They would re-park my car each time as parking space was limited. The restaurant served super food (amazing steak and curries, fantastic prawns). Lovely cocktails too.
