That Place  Verified Listing

We come to stay at "That place" so often that our young daughter calls it her holiday house. It is for us exactly that. We keep returning to the wonderful cozy house which is for us a home from home. The house has everything in it that you could possibly need, and should there be something that it does not have, David and Joanna are wonderful hosts and will sort anything out for you. The beds are comfy and the children's room is filled with books and toys, but my favourite feature is the handmade "Little Prince" wooden headboard. The house is filled with works by David and his son. The swimming pool is deliciously inviting and the deck a perfect place to laze away the Summer days. Rain or shine there is plenty to do, both at the house and in the surrounding area. There is nothing more comforting than cozying up next to the fireplace, either inside or out on a rainy day or chilly Winter evening. The house is located a short distance from all the local attractions, from Monkey land to the world's highest bungy. There is something around to suit all tastes. If you enjoy a lie in, I would recommend eye masks as the sun does shine through the curtains very early. But why not wake up and look over the spectacular gorge to the elephants out for their morning walk and the sounds of the monkeys and birds in the distance? We have stayed at That Place many times and will always return whenever we can, whatever the season. Our dogs (who are admittedly very well behaved) are also welcome and have as much fun as we do! I would highly recommend this house, but just hope that in doing so we are still able to get a booking when we need one!

Great house with a great host!

What a stunning place! Absolutely perfect view of a lovely mountain where you can see elephants in the distance and hear lions roaring! Joanna was a sweetheart who made sure we felt comfortable and at home. We spent every night by the beautiful braai area with candles lit and bottles of wine and every morning on the back deck with coffee while looking at the elephants. Can’t say enough amazing things about this spot!

We loved, loved, LOVED staying at That Place. The photos look great but in reality it’s even better. The house is beautifully decorated and had everything we need. Loved the comfy beds, making the fire in the evenings and waking up to the amazing views. The lovely made that came everyday kept the house sparkling clean for us, even with our toddlers running around all the time. The location is brilliant with so much to do in the area and Bramons is right next door with some of the most delicious food we tasted on the Garden Route. Joanna was such a sweet and welcoming host and answered all our questions quickly and thoroughly. We are definitely coming back to That Place the next time we're in SA.

Great family place! Located in the Crags, short drives of 5-10 mins to Monkeyland, Natures valley, Plet bay. Good local tips, we enjoyed all of them! Easy communication. Joanna even arranged a a baby chair and cot. Great outdoor area with fireplace, braai, couches and also a very nice pool and sauna. We really loves it here.

What a wonderful stay in this special place. Only wish we could have stayed for longer - will definitely be back!

Absolutely loved this house, wish it was mine! It has everything you need and so well equipped. Bed was so comfortable and shower excellent. Having a tea on the terrace in the morning and watching the elephants across the valley was stunning. So many seating areas to enjoy as well as the pool and sauna. I will be back and have recommended to my friends. (P.S. The wine we bought at the shop was so good we went back for more).

What a Place That Place is, one of the best we have rented ever!

Very nice accommodation, Joanna is very helpful and gave us good recommendations for restaurants. Will always come back when I'm in the area.

Such a wonderful experience: A beautiful house in a stunning setting with an amazing host. We had two nights during which we hardly had the chance to take full advantage of all the property has to offer, from the swimming pool and sauna to the shelves packed with books in all the rooms. Joanna is an incredible host and has really gone the distance to make the place feel like a real home for adults and kids alike, one which we were terribly sad to leave. It's my new happy place, and will be a must-visit on our next trip to SA, hopefully for a bit longer next time!
