About Tamodi Lodge & Stables

Leafy trails and horseriding at this forest-surrounded Garden Route retreat

Tamodi Lodge is a small family-owned and -run bed-and-breakfast retreat on the outskirts of Plettenberg Bay, one of South Africa’s most popular Garden Route beauty spots. The lodge lies in a nature conservancy, and is surrounded by indigenous forests and lush valleys ringed by the ancient Outeniqua Mountains. The lodge is known for its horseriding (there are private stables on-site) and the network of trails that wind through the forests. It's an intimate guest lodge, well suited to couples looking for privacy and romance in a natural setting, with the buzz of Plettenberg Bay a few minutes' drive away.

Property details

The property

Tamodi's resembles a classic safari-style lodge , with thatched roofs, exposed beams, packed stone walls, and elevated timber viewing decks facing the densely wooded valleys and mountains. A cosy library and two comfortable guest lounges have several open fire places for winter days, with a swimming pool and sun lounge for summer, and a wine cellar that carries an excellent selection of South African labels. Breakfasts are served fireside, or out on the deck.

The rooms

Four sumptuous guest suites are decorated in elegant African style, with warm natural tones, carved wooden screens, vibrant textiles and locally produced artworks. Two honeymoon suites, one in the main lodge and another in a separate cabin, have private plunge pools, teak four-poster beds and a lounge. All the suites have vast en-suite bathrooms with freestanding stone tubs; some have an outdoor rain shower overlooking the treetops. Several new suites with private on-deck pools are set to open soon.

Activities

Tamodi is a nature-lover’s paradise, with endless outdoor activities to choose from, and glorious beaches, indigenous forests (slowly recovering after the fires of July 2017) and nature reserves nearby. Stroll through the estate, or take a guided birdwatching and nature walk with the lodge owner. Plettenberg Bay, with its excellent restaurants, street cafes, shops and beaches is a short hop from the lodge. Further afield, Nature’s Valley, Tsitsikamma Forest, Knysna and Sedgefield make easy day trips.
