The Staff were wonderful and so helpful. I order a vegan basket and they tried their best to make sure it was the best basket i had for a bday celebration. They even arrange a vegan cake which was so very thoughtful. It's a beautiful and quiet place and the view is to die for. You will need to drive in and the drive was quite an adventure but love it!

Our whole stay felt very warm. The staff, the room, and the food exceeded all of our expectations. We had a great time doing the game drives. The reserve is so beautiful, with great animals roaming around happily. I think the highlight of the stay was the staff and the service so much warmth and love. Definitely the peak of our honeymoon trip. Oh yeah and the food is so so good!!!

We truly appreciated the seamless check-in process and the warm hospitality from the staff—it set the tone for a wonderful stay. The rooms were exceptionally comfortable, and the beautifully maintained landscaping added a serene touch to the experience. There’s a visible joy in the plants that reflects the care given to every corner of this place. The food was absolutely delicious, and every detail spoke of thoughtful excellence. Thank you for creating such a welcoming and uplifting environment!

    We stayed at the Ulubisi House and our stay was perfect: the staff (Douglas, Papa Si, Sarrah) was exceptional, the rooms were always clean and had the perfect temperature. Breakfast includes everything one could wish for. Lunch & dinner were always very good, they even adapted the menu to our wishes on Christmas Eve. The landscape you see from your window is just beautiful. Our daily game drives were the best thing of our stay: Austin (our guide) knows so much about the animals and patiently answers all your questions; you can really tell that he loves his job. He gave us ponchos and blankets if we felt cold during the game drive. When game drives are over, you have the option to use bicycles to go around on your own (only possible in a fenced area without dangerous animals). We really loved our stay!!

    The resort was absolutely stunning — everything from the atmosphere to the details was top-notch. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, and the place felt very classy and well-maintained. Our room was beautiful with a lovely view, and the overall ambiance was simply unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a special getaway. Although the golf cart service wasn't originally designated for guest transportation, the staff kindly made an exception for my mother due to the distance of her room. They provided her with a golf cart ride to ensure her comfort, and I truly appreciate this thoughtful gesture. It meant a lot to us and showed how caring and considerate the staff are.

    Wakening up to the sound of birds, cannot be measured. Then the calmness this place brings to you was exactly what we needed. We had our little encounter with a spider, which was easy to catch and to release. Don't miss the stargazing as it is a view you won't forget. The BBQ on the top of the trees from the DIY was a beautiful experience.

    Mossel Bay itself has so much to see and do and then you have all the little treasures on the outskirts of Mossel Bay. One that we found this weekend after visiting Mossel Bay for the last 15 years is the Butterfly Sanctuary on the R328 in Ruitersbos. Visit in summer to see the butterflies as in winter their numbers are far less. A must at the sanctuary is to meet Earle Whitely a world renowned butterfly expert.

    Albertinia is a small country town without the big fast food take aways . Very rural . You can buy the basics at one of the cafes or Pizza place . There is not much as far as shops go so it is a stopover to break a long journey or a week or two of total peace and quite without too many modern day interruptions. There is a braai area and all you could want to have to have an enjoyable stop and a good night's sleep and no rush to get you out in the morning .. I simply bought rolls and cold meat and yogurt at Piet se kafee as I did not want to cook . Coffee is provided although if to a heavy coffee drinker you may want to buy a bit extra as most guest houses only give you enough for two or three cups of coffee . I had a nice chat with the owner who told me about the abundance of underground water and about the area in general...This is not a property where you can come in and drink and party and be a nuisance to others . . No smoking inside the chalets which is excellent @
