The Fernery Lodge and Chalet Accommodation

Deluxe Sea or River Facing Suites

Aquarius

A romantic blend of old and new in cream and blue, this suite has its own private deck with a barbecue and loungers from where you can enjoy an endless view of the Indian Ocean and the bird life that abounds in the river gorge.

Toscana

Decorated in gorgeous shades of beige and cream for pure luxury and relaxation guests can soak up the beauty of the river gorge, and enjoy an endless view of the Indian Ocean from the loungers on their private deck.

Riverine

A beautiful large and airy room decorated in cream and shades of blue. The view down to the river itself has been impeded by the addition of a stretch tent to cover our cocktail bar and wifi deck, however this unit still offers wonderful views across the river gorge and up to the Tsitsikamma mountains. This room has the bonus of being within the range of our wifi hotspot on the deck below.

Garden Facing Suites

Spice

A dramatic room with a touch of spice in its rich colouring. The en suite bathroom has a magnificent view of the river gorge which you can enjoy from the comfort of a large foam bath. As in the case of Riverine the view down to the river from this room has been impeded by the stretch tent, but has the advantage of being within range of our wifi hotspot on the deck below.

Plantation

This lovely room has bay windows into the beautiful garden, and a spacious bathroom with a luxurious feel. Relax in style in your bath tub with a glass of wine, and marvel at the beauty of nature around you.

Victorian Suite

Pretty and cosy, this room captures the glorious afternoon sun and has a lovely bathroom with luxurious shrubbery and ferns tapping at the windows.

B&B Chalets

Lourie

The Loerie, with its vivid green and red colouring and striking crest, gives this Chalet its bright and beautiful colour scheme and stunning headboard.

Galjoen

The Galjoen is South Africa’s national fish and frequents the Tsitsikamma coastal waters. This chalet is beautifully decorated in blue and cream and has a lovely view from its deck through the gorge mouth to the sea.

In the Forest

Tranquility itself – with a moss green and white colour scheme which really makes you feel as though you are in the shade of the beautiful cool forests which once covered this area.

Alikreukel

This lovely silver and copper coloured shell which is found in the rock pools along the Tsitsikamma coast gives this Chalet its earthy brown and beige colour scheme. The headboard artistically depicts waving seaweed and driftwood.

Fern Cottage

An absolute must at Forest Ferns and decorated in hues of gentle greens. The prep bowl is hand painted with delicate fronds of coral fern which is one of the main export products of Forest Ferns.

Oyster Catcher

The Oyster Catcher is one of South Africa’s endangered birds but frequents our Tsitsikamma coast. The Chalet which bears its name, is strikingly coloured in darker tones with splashes of red.

Family Chalets

Blue Lily

The theme of the Blue Lily (Agapanthus africanus) has been carried through this Chalet with its blue, cream and green colour scheme. The gardens are filled with agapanthus which bloom in midsummer. It is ideal for families with young children (under 16) and has a television.

Sunbird

Sunbirds abound in the fynbos surrounding the Chalets and with their bright colours are easy to spot in the trees and shrubs. This Chalet is decorated using the bright green and yellow of the double collard Sunbirds. It is ideal for families with young children (under 16) and has a television.

Luxury B&B Apartment Chalets

Porcupine / Francolin Chalet and Jacana / Otter Chalet

The luxurious apartment chalets are the perfect choice for couples travelling together or for families with older children. They offer guests absolute privacy within their own en-suite area that includes a sitting room with cosy fireplace and flat screen television. The two en-suite rooms are joined by a well equipped kitchen with dining table that is perfect for joint socialising. These modern units are beautifully decorated and open onto a deck with a plunge pool and a view over the river. Quoted prices depend on the number of people occupying the chalet and the rate is inclusive of breakfast.

The Fernery Lodge and Chalets Reviews

“Spacious rooms, great views, good food and a very good service. We had a real good stay in the Fernery Lodge and also learned something about both Tsitsikamma and the business of a Fernery. Very interesting and also relaxing stay in beautiful Tsitsikamma. ” – Antje L

“The place is so relaxing and service is 5-star. From the minute we arrived to the last minute we left the staff was friendly and helpful. The lunch we had was so delicious and fresh and priced so good. ” – 944carolk

“We recently stayed at the Fernery and could not find fault with it. Beautiful lodge with an extra comfortable mattress added for a fifth person, great restaurant and very obliging bar staff. We also availed of the Fernery picnic in our lodge on one of the evenings. Unfortunately we couldn’t go to one of the spectacular picnic spots due to the weather. ” – Patchathome
