The warm welcome on arrival was just the start of a wonderful stay at Lairds Lodge. The furnishings and decor are beautiful and stylish throughout, and the hosts are friendly and helpful. We stayed in one of the comfortable and spacious garden rooms, with a patio opening onto a lawn facing a small lake with woodland beyond. On the first... More

We stayed here for 2 nights on our way from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth. Don't let the location put you off - it's not acutally on the N2 - the lodge is tucked away, off a gravel drive and set in lovely grounds. The staff and owners are very welcoming and keen to ensure you have a wonderful stay... More

What a gorgeous boutique hotel, set close to Plettenberg and Storms River. We stayed in a suite which accommodated our family of 2 plus 2 (aged 5 and 23 months) perfectly. The rooms are beautifully appointed in contemporary African wares. The food here is amazing and staff most friendly. Expansive, manicured gardens. Lovely spots on the terrace or reading rooms...

The weather when we visited was awful, but the lodge was always warm and welcoming with candles, lamps and log fires burning. The food is amazing and we... More

We stayed here for two nights on the recommendation of a friend and were not disappointed. Our room was spacious and luxurious with its own outside seating area. The grounds and pool area were exceptional. The staff were truly welcoming and could not do enough for us. In the morning we received superb guidance from the reception staff to help... More

If you want something special along the Garden Route we can certainly recommend Laird's Lodge. The reception you get from the staff will give you the feeling that this is going to be a great place to stay. You can go out for meals, however, try them here and you will not be disappointed with the meal and convivial company... More

This is top quality accommodation, with friendly hosts and helpful staff. Although Plettenberg is readily accessible for restaurants, we dined at the lodge on each evening of our three night stay and didn't regret it. I have no hesitation in recommending.

We stayed two nights at Lairds Lodge and having read the reviews we had very high expectations and it didn't disappoint. On a arrival we were offered refreshments, the staff and service was outstanding and attending to your every need wanting to make sure you get the most from your experience. The rooms are beautiful, spacious and luxurious and the... More

Just outside Plettenberg, down a sandy lane (turn left for Hunter's Lodge and Tsala Treetops) is this country house of a hotel. Excellent reception and shown to our large room a few minutes walk from the main building overlooking one of the many gardens with a large pine, and each morning a passing troop of Vervet monkeys (playing games in...
