    Little far to walk with luggage from car to accommodation.

    Cabin 3 was amazing with such a getaway feel to it. We loved it.

    Im allergic to mold and I barely could breathe in the morning sleeping in the lower Silo. As soon as I switched sleeping in another room, it was fine. The road was very bumpy with huge puddles. Be sure to not go there with a sports car ;)

    Such a great Escape in a beautiful landscape. The hosts and staff were so nice and made sure youre not missing anything. Very good quality breakfast. Very family friendly as well.

    Everything was great. In order to reach the hotel, you have to drive down a road which is unpaved (for around 5 - 10 minutes). This is not a negative point, as this is a 'country escape' (it's in the name) but just something to be aware of if you don't drive a 4x4.

    Great hospitality. We followed the recommendations of the owners and we were not let down!

    Loved everything!

    Bella Munga is an idyllic place to stay. The gardens are beautiful, delightful farm animals and very comfortable, spacious,accommodation. The owners, Chris and Jenny, couldn't have been more helpful and kind. It was so wonderful to be away from the busy town area and in the evenings to star gaze 😀

    We booked our stay a little last minute but was pleasantly surprised at our stay at Bella Manga. We stayed in the silo rooms which had two singles downstairs and a queen upstairs connected by an external staircase. The rooms were great and just what we needed. There is a huge communal area which can be used for cooking, and we used the TV to watch a football match. The hosts also made a huge bonfire which we sat around and made friends with other travellers while the children played on the vast lawn. It was great. It is a bit out of town but the Plett was crazy busy so we were happy to get away from the crowds. The breakfast was delicious and we all were sad to say goodbye to Bella Manga.

    Really nice hosts! They have lots of tips about things to do in the area. Really nice accommodation. Unfortunately it was rainy when we were staying here but the pool looked really nice as well! We also watched the rugby world cup finale together with the hosts. It was really fun!

    This was my second stay during September 2023 and all is can say is a very big thank you to Jenny & Chris. Everyone has different gifts and abilities. I am convinced that one of your special gifts is making everyone feel welcome and loved. Thank you for your hospitality, and offering me a home away from home. I appreciate you. Beautiful property, beautiful spread of breakfast and beautiful rooms. Very clean. One definitely gets much more than you pay for, as I said before if this is how you guys gear up for this upcoming season then you can only prosper. My best wishes accompany you. All the best.

    It is a beautiful and cosy place. The host was warm and accomodating. A home far away from home. The rooms were clean and felt homely.I loved how each room had a beautiful indoor plant. The food was great. My kids enjoyed the swim,played with the farm animals. We came in late and most amenities were closed. She gave us sandwiches. My kids really loved her and they kept on saying how she went out of their way to feed us.
