Staff were exceptional, rooms are absolutely stunning and the food was amazing! Wish we were staying here longer as this has been our favourite place to stay!
The staff make this place special. When you arrive and are greeted personally by each of the staff, you realise that this is going to be special. Lesley, Bani and the rest of the team make you feel very special during your stay and provide much help and advice about things to do, places to visit etc.
The breakfasts were the best we’d had during the whole of our holiday and the dinners were equally as good.
Fabulous place, love to stay here again.
A beautiful hotel with very friendly staff. The breakfast was amazing and very luxurious. the only downside was it was a few minutes outside of town about halfway between Plettenberg and Knysna.
Our family stayed at Lairds Lodge so we booked 2 rooms and accommodations were beautiful. The staff could not have been nicer and the breakfast was a culinary delight!
Laird's Lodge provided a wonderful retreat away from the more touristy section of Plettenberg Bay. The grounds were beautiful and the staff was lovely. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. The food was delicious -- you will not leave hungry. The breakfasts were gorgeous and not to be missed!
Stayed for 3 nights. Wonderful hotel with really excellent service. We ate here twice and the food was very good. Breakfast was a real treat every morning. Location is very good for both Kynsa and Plettenberg bay.
An excellent establishment. Rooms very well appointed and staff were most helpful and friendly. The one meal we had was superb and there are plenty of wines on offer from South Africa. I would definitely return.
Spectacular stay from start to finish. Tea and biscuits on arrival then a bottle of champagne and chocolates in our room. The interior design is wonderful and each room more interesting than the next. The food was out of this world dinner and breakfast were both perfect. A really brilliant place to stay!
This is the second time that we have chosen to stay at Lairds Lodge. If anything the second visit was even better than the first. The hospitality of the staff and their willingness to make your stay a complete delight is outstanding. The accommodation is so comfortable, with room 11 providing an enormous amount of space for us. The lodge is close to many attractions and areas of interest and finally the food is amazing. Not any choice as the meal is determined beforehand, but you can choose the number of courses and each is a culinary feast.
Treated ourselves with a stay here for our 49th wedding anniversary and were not disappointed. The establishment decor is very interesting, the room was large and well furnished, complete with large candle in the bathroom, although this may have more to do with the recurring power cuts in SA, which were handled well. We also ate dinner there which was very elaborate. An alternative fish dish was provided for my non-meat-eating husband but this was not as good as the set meal. Service was excellent.
We usually prefer to stay nearer to towns but with dinner available this wasn't a problem. Weren't able to enjoy the lovely pool area as the weather was stormy.
