Guest Comments for Aloe Guest Lodge

"Thanks for the email. I was planning on emailing you this week anyway to say thanks for everything that you organised for us. I cannot stress enough how impressed we were with each and every place we stayed and each time we moved on we thought that the next place could not possibly be better, but it always seemed to be!!

In particular, we had an absolutely fantastic time at The Constantia, very luxurious. The weather was awful on the day we arrived but Claire was just so lovely and had a bath running for us at 11.30 am with a bottle of wine at the ready!! We could not have asked for more from her and her staff. She is like a mind reader - she seemed to anticipate everything we needed before we had even thought of it ourselves!!

All of the guest houses were really lovely, and in particular the hosts at each one were so helpful to us, always wanting to suggest great restaurants and things to do in their area. Peter at Bradach Manor was great for a chat and Brenda at Oceansong in Plett was a really nice person. The Aloe Guest House in Hermanus was lovely.

And of course, Shamwari was the highlight of the trip, a really amazing place. Fantastic accommodation and our safari ranger, Vincent, was such a great guy, we had really good fun with him and the other guests we were on our drives with and we saw all of the Big 5 apart from a leopard. I was so sad to leave, really did not want to come home, which has never happened to me before on holiday!

Darren and I will certainly be recommending Travel Butlers to anyone we know who is planning on visiting SA - we cannot speak highly enough of everything you arranged for us."

"Firstly, you set up a great itinerary... I couldn't have put this all together myself, and am so glad I had your help.

Dolphin Dunes (Wilderness) .....wow! Absolutely flawless. I don't think I've ever stayed anywhere that has had so much thought and effort put into it. I could have stayed there for ever. Even though I didn't get a sea view room, the room I had was superb. Lovely owners. If I come back to SA, staying here would be my top priority.

Pumba ...stunning. Fantastic choice.

Aloe Guest Lodge (Hermanus) ... lovely. Such a feelgood place, and again, such thought and effort has gone into the design of the rooms and the whole house. Lovely owner."
