Was pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail on the side of the hosts.

I’m reluctant to leave a glowing review only because I want to keep this treasure of a place to myself! A beautiful forest, and your cabin is plopped right in the middle of it. We had absolute peace. Little details - the gift of a tree, a poitjie pot, a sharp knife in the kitchen and a wheel barrow to transport your belongings through the forest - made our stay at Platbos a pleasure. Best shower in the country. Thank you!
