The Fernery Lodge: The Lodge is magnificent, built above a 30 metre waterfall in the Sandrift River gorge, with stunning views of the river mouth, Indian Ocean and Tsitsikamma Mountains. Each of the five rooms has a unique and stylish interior, with spacious bathrooms.
The Chalets The quaint B & B and Self-Catering chalets are very secluded and each of them has a private deck overlooking the Sandrift River Gorge and Forest Plantations.
