Most amazingly stunning place will come and stay there anytime. A home away from home.
Absolutely stunning place with excellent and warm welcoming host Felicia...We had a great overnight stay....pity it was so short!!!!
Absolutely beautiful place to break away from the city 🌿🌸 Lovely hosts which made us feel so welcome. Definitely coming back.
What a wonderful quiet place, had a great time just to switch off from busy life.
Stayed at A'Volonte while my husband did the Wines 2 Whales. Perfect location - close the the race village. Felicia made us feel very welcome and the house was clean and had everything we needed. We will be back.
We booked the River facing cottage and enjoyed a very peaceful evening! There was wood available for the fireplace inside and all the utensils we require was there. Thank you for a lovely stay!
Thumbs up. See you next year, same time☺
Our stay at Avolonte was short but lovely! It is such a peaceful spot and we all slept wonderfully well. Despite the fact that there were four of us, we were all quite comfortable. And the duvets were magic!Thank you Felicia for sharing this spot of the world with us!
Lovely cottage! Spotlessly clean. We'll certainly go back again when visiting Elgin/Grabouw.
Over the past couple of years, I have visited Avolonte Lodge on a regular basis. This place is a little slice of heaven and has something for everyone.
The cottages are absolutely beautiful, reminiscent of something out of a Beatrix Potter book! One almost expects Peter Rabbit to appear in one of the doorways!
In the heat of summer, the cottages are beautifully cool due to the thatch roof.
They are spacious and decorated in a charming eclectic mix of rustic meets ye olde-world. There is an amazing attention to detail and there is everything at hand that one would need when you are on holiday.
The cottages offer beautiful views of the garden and are very private and secluded.
The gardens are beautifully land-scaped and offer a haven for the prolific bird-life. It is fantastic to sit on the verandahs and watch the birds flit from flower to flower going about their daily business. There are also cute squirrels scampering about.
In the evenings you can hear the owls calling and see bats busily catching their dinner. You can hear the thousands of frogs croaking down by the river.
The hosts are friendly and accommodating and go out of their way to ensure that you have an enjoyable stay and nothing is too much trouble for them. They are happy to give advice on restaurants, wine routes, beaches, hikes etc.
The Country club is just 2kms away where there is a wonderful restaurant on the edge of the Lake where, you can swim, sail or fish. There are also tennis and squash courts and even a bowling green.
It is not often that you find an unspoilt gem like this.

The magnificent dinner at Villa Exner Boutique Hotel. Each dish was a masterpiece A delight for the taste buds. One of the best meals I have ever had in my life...and Ive eaten all over the world! The hostess was accommodating, friendly and wished to help our vegan family member with modifying any dish to suit his needs...sublime!!!
The beautiful cycling and hiking trails in the area. We visited Trail's End for a planned cycle and it was fantastic! Thank you to, Pieter, who guided us through a beautiful mountain cycle.
