Lairds Lodge was an amazing find. We loved it from the moment we arrived. Number one were the Staff they were more than fantastic! Attentive, helpful, smiley and fun. The Lodge is beautifully appointed, we loved the decor and the little touches. The meals were fabulous, well prepared and fresh. Delicious! The rooms were large comfortable and clean with a great outlook and a small patio to enjoy. The gardens were so well stocked and looked after, the whole gave a beautiful relaxing feel.. Thank you to Lesley and her team she was charming and very knowledgeable of the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

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.

Lovely charming lodge. Nice room, good breakfast. Disastrous unpaved access road (deep holes) which could easily be rectified.

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.

Beautiful lodge, lovely staff, delicious meals!

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!

Fantastic service and food

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.

First class staff & service. Nice food.

Room allocated dark, cold & seemed damp. Bathroom/toilet facilities very basic and poor quality. No heating provided. Imaginative food but limited choice.
Accommodation over-priced.

Spectacular!!!

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!

Beautiful, luxurious country house

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.
