Hi Kerry,

We had a lovely experience staying at your beautiful Lodge.
So peaceful and comfortable. Coffee and breakfast was great!
So close to everything, and wonderful hospitality!

All the best
Cheryl and Tegan

A piece of paradise

What a stunningly, beautiful place. Everything was perfect and I wish I could have stayed longer. Peaceful and I woke up revitalized and at peace with the world. Clint and Kerry are fabulous hosts and a high 5 to Emmanuel, their house manager.  We will definitely be back.

Peace and Tranquility at an amazing spot

We had a lovely 6-night break at Bitou River Lodge, which is a quiet, rural location about 10 minutes outside Plett.  The breakfast every day was good; the room was very comfortable; and there were plenty of places, inside and outside, to sit quietly to read a book. Our host and hostess have recently taken it over; I gather it was previously slightly run-down. They provided us with suggestions as to where to eat - although a summary list would have been a good idea, to avoid having to bombard them with questions. The water is local, and sometimes brown; that will no doubt be sorted out in due course. We will certainly consider returning.

Pleasant rural break

We've tried Good, Bad, Great, OK in Plett over the last 3 years. Our No 1 remains Bitou River Lodge. We managed to get 3 nights last year, 6 this year and will book early to secure 10 nights for Dec 2024. Away from the traffic jams, but close to very good restaurants and markets, easy drive to best beaches and yoga early morning. Fabulous hosts and staff. Love it. 

No 1 on our list for Plett

Stayed here for business reasons. We had the bunny cottage. It's cozy, clean and private. There's a beautiful view over the Vineyards and a restaurant within 100 meters. Private braai and deck with an outdoor bath. A smart television with Netflix and YouTube. A beautiful and massive shower. Good quality king size bed. They provide an abundance of towels and there is excellent wifi service. I stayed for afew days and it was very peaceful. There is a large fridge and freezer, with ice included. They also include braai wood, although it was a bit damp. All the things you need for self catering. I can see the hosts take pride and effort to prepare the best stay for their guests. 

It's a great weekend getaway if you're looking for a private and peaceful experience 

My daughter and I spent two nights at Bitou River Lodge.  While she attended a wedding, I enjoyed the comfort, peace and tranquility of the lodge on the banks of the Bitou River.  10-15 minutes outside Plettenberg Bay it is well located to enjoy all the activities that Plett and the surrounding area offers, but it is a gentle, restorative place to be if relaxation is what you are looking for. I enjoyed bird watching and reading in a hammock near the pool.  Our hosts, Kerry and Clint, were welcoming, caring hosts and the lodge team were attentive.   I will definitely return to this special place.

Wonderful location and river views with very accommodating owners and wonderful service. The rooms are well appointed and the beds fantastically comfortable. Breakfast was also seriously good. We are just very sorry we were unable to stay longer. Highly recommend Bitou River Lodge as it was more comfortable and better in virtually every way than other far more expensive locations we stayed at.

Don’t think twice just book here! You will not regret it.

A wonderful experience; beautiful house, amazing garden, kind and helpful host and staff.
Nice location, away from the busy place, but still well connected.
We got an excellent breakfast and a lot of help with our braai.
Our host gave good tips what to visit next and which routes to take to get to our next location.
 

Heaven  on earth

A little bit of heaven on earth, if peaceful - tranquil - total relaxation is what you looking for Bitou should be on the top of your list. My son and I loved every minute we spent with Clint, Kerry, Brayley and Bryce. Beautiful family and super proud to be part of it.  Can’t wait to see you later this year.

Exquisite!!

A fantastic haven to spend a few days. The property is within easy striking distance of Plettenberg bay and all the major beaches and attractions. Taxi was easily arranged by the proproter, and was just a few £ to get into town. The rooms are comfortable, with good facilities. Veranda onto the river and the sounds of the birds and frogs is mesmeric. The pool, whilst not enormous, is set delightfully amongst flowers and trees with plenty of shade and ample beds. We used the canoes for a paddle down the river which was great fun. The team at Bitou could not be more hospitable, nothing was too much trouble - a real family feel. - don't hesitate .. book it.
