We stayed in a unit 31. The room was spacious with 2 king size beds. The beds were comfortable, nice bedlinen. The was nice fresh air in the room and we got a good night sleep. Bathroom had all new fittings and a great shower. The pool is big and warm, towels provided. The staff was very nice. There were many choices at breakfast and a gluten free roll available on request. Coffee and cakes were delicious. We also had a dinner, which was good. The grounds of the hotel are lovely. We were very impressed and the hotel exceeded our expectations.

Beautiful retreat

The Village Inn was THE place to stay in town, located close to the adventure tours and a couple restaurants. The grounds themselves is like a village in itself, and it has a ton of charm. The room was very comfortable and I loved the bathtub for a soak after our ziplining. The restaurant was very nice and food was yum.

Beautifully appointed hotel in Storms river village. The hotel room fixtures do need a bit of maintenance but the overall experience was lovely. The breakfast buffet is very well done catering to a variety of tourists and the position of the hotel to the activities in the area is superb. Staff are friendly and professional. We made use of the laundry service which was efficient and very well done. As a first time stay in this area we were happy to have had the opportunity to stay in the Tsitsikamma village inn.

We had a wonderful time there during our Easter holiday. We arrived there at night and been our first time there, not knowing the whereabouts, Mario sorted us in no time. The restaurant and kitchen staff were excellent, friendly and very accommodating. The food was great and always fresh. The facilities all around were always neat and well kept. Our apartment was also well cleaned every day with fresh towels and ablution necessities.
Once again thank you for a great time and to the friendly staff. We would go back there anytime, without a doubt.

The Tsitsikama Inn is unique with a variety of buildings making up the property and set in large well kept grounds. The free breakfast was excellent, and dinner was also excellent. We had a large unit that had been very well modernized with a large bathroom. The only thing that would have helped us was a fridge in the room. Storm river mouth well worth a visit.

This hotel has an olde world charm. However, facilities are dated and in need of modernisation. Room interlocking door was too thin to offer soundproofing, hence no privacy between rooms.
Shower controls are ancient, so getting the shower temperature safe and correct was a slow tedious process.
Food was ok though felt like mass produced. In particular, a good rump steak was ruined by having BBQ sauce smeared all over it before being served. There was no mention of this sauce in the menu description. YUK👎👎

Also the breakfast is great. And check out the micro brewery next door if you have time.

Not value for money. They charged extra for kids that slept on the floor as they were in a separate room. They gave us the feeling they did not want us there. Not polite and Not helpful. The supervisor was helpless to find an acceptable solution for the extra charges. Ended up paying more than 4000 rand extra. Breakfast does not worth the money.

we stayed here for 2 nights last week and were really pleased we did,it is a really impressive collection of beautiful colonial style buildings around a green which gives a lovely feel to the place and is really impressive.
Our room was immaculate with lovely furniture,clean and a very comfortable bed,the heating and extra blankets were useful as it was chilly at night.The water came from there own borehole so no problems with shortage of water.
The food was excellent,we used the restaurant in the evenings and there was a wide and varied menu at a reasonable price,portions were good and both meals were delicious.The buffet breakfast was excellent with a great selection and catered for all tastes.
All the staff we met were very polite,friendy,helpful and a pleasure to deal with.We would have no hesitation staying here again and would thoroughly recommend to anyone visiting the area.
The inn is in a great location,safe and has own security although we had no problems and felt safe when we walked in the area.

The hotel is a collection of well presented chalets, set around lovely gardens. Ours was very comfortable and carpeted, which made it feel quite luxurious. Breakfast was a variety of cereals, fruit, pastries and cooked. All fresh and delicious. (We didn't try out the hotel restaurant)
The pool is a good size, although too cold for us. It's next to the bar and lounge area where we found a small selection of games. There is a good climbing frame with swings, a bit wobbly in parts though!
Staff at the hotel were friendly and efficient, check in was easy and quick.

The hotel is in a great location: with access to the national park only metres away, as well as being next to cafes, restaurants, canopy tours and not far from other activities.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone, families, singles, couples or groups.

Good location but evening meals not so good

Good location, safe to explore village on foot in daytime, excellent breakfast, A few downsides .. no fridge/microwave in room. We arrived 25 minutes before the check-in time of 2pm, our room was ready and the venue was quiet but we had to wait until exactly 2pm to be allowed into our room. Evening meals were a total let down. Lamb curry full of bones/fat and entire meal must have been microwaved as it was served within minutes. Second evening's meal was slightly better. So by all means stay but eat out.

Great location, shame about the deco!

The hotel is in a great location to stay when visiting Tsitsikamma National Park including Storms River.

The hotel design is based on a number individual, Dutch colonial style buildings around a central garden area. Although these buildings are visually pleasant from the outside, the deco inside is old, drab and out dated. There is no wifi in the bedrooms and means all guests need to go to the lobby area where there are only 5 seats.
There are around 5 eateries within walking distance, however, only 2 of these were open after 8pm.

Try another guesthouse!

Our room, which was the top of the line for this guesthouse,was nice enough. Unfortunately, the shower head fell off during my husband's shower and he was scalded by the hot water that wouldn't turn off. They attempted to fix that but the next day my shower had no working cold, which meant that I had to abandon showering - again, burning hot water. The breakfast was terrible - even the yogurt tasted funny --this was followed by an inedible hamburger (not recognizable meat) and soup for dinner. They didn't, however, charge us for the bad meal. We also had to go to the bistro down the road for any wifi service. We were told it was the \"mountains\" and that we'd need to go to the national park to get wifi. Not true. We've been in East Africa for 2 months in much more basic accommodations and never had such a poor experience.

Unique but not so great for kids

Very unique and quaint, but lacking in areas important to me. We travelled with our two kids age 11 and 15. Maybe I did not read the fine print but our rooms each has a full-sized bed, which was very uncomfortable for my husband and I and our two boys. The lady at the reception was efficient but not very welcoming and when I asked for some information, she just gave me a brochure. The wifi was not working, and the game room where they had billiards and ping pong was occupied by a private party. There is really nothing to do for kids in the evening, so that was a bummer. Our shower was either too hot or too cold and the shower head very outdated. So in all, cute concept, not lacking in comfort.
