The chef and his food is fantastic, everything is priced amazingly to cater for a great weekend out. Parking though is limited which was the only downside, however it did not in any way upset the great weekend. Tree house style rooms, no electronics other than lights, fans and a plug point. Encourages outdoor activity.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Gert de BruynThanks Andy and volunteer staff. The venue has a great vibe, quiet yet lively. The tree house we stayed in was amazing. Thanks for going out of your way to help put me in touch with One Stop Service when my car broke down. Dewaldt thanks for getting me going again. All in all a great place to stay. Good luck to you all.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Bronwyn SnymanExperience what Julia Roberts experienced in Eat Pray Love right here in South Africa. But it's better because you can have the whole yoga retreat with Simmi. She teaches you ancient truth's about embracing your womb intelligence. You can heal yourself and others. Simmi is like a real life Guru. She also provides snorkeling and hiking tours and you can learn to surf if you don't know how. You enter a different world when you step over the threshold. I highly recommend this getaway.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Patrick WeberLegendary spot same as the friendly owner Andy, known everywhere on the coast. He welcomed me with open arms helped get a surf board for a very fair price and I made some great friends at this place. He chose the volunteers with great care who added to the welcoming vibe! Nice bbq area and two jacquzzis on the property. A great kitchen too with a VERY fair price. The surf spot is 7 minutes walk away! Good vibesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Ashley SchoemanWe stayed at Mantis and Moon for the first half of our trip, and I can truly say we enjoyed our entire stay. The staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful, we felt right at home. The food was out of this world and I would come back just to have the wraps again! I would honestly and truly recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy space to unwind.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Big SteveWhat a hidden gem.

I loved everything from the relaxed vibe, treehouse accommodation to the friendly service and sense of community. The chef makes the best burgers you will ever eat and prepares everything with attention detail and fresh. It was a truly awesome experienceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Anthony LeesAwesome relaxed place. Good for the soul.
