Beautiful location and close to the beach.

The stay was very nice. The apartment was lovely and close to the beach so we could walk there to see the most beautiful beach 10 minutes away. Beautiful and safe location. Would definitely come again!

Very clean in a gorgeous and quiet area. Owners super helpful and accommodating. Fitted with everything a family could need. Lovely braai area and garden with cute cats! The solar panels were a huge bonus. The ocean is just a short walk away.

Die naam is misleidend.

Hierdie is 'n gewone houthuis in 'n woongebied (geen bosbokke) met familie wat bo bly. Ou donker vertrekke, wel ruim. Fotos weerspieel nie die donker toegeboude en toe begroeide werklikheid nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.

The name is misleading.

This is a normal log house in a residential area (no bushbucks) with family living upstairs. Old dark rooms, but spacious. Photos do not reflect the dark enclosed and overgrown reality.

Brenton Bushbuck Lookout 's response

Dear Theuns, we are very sorry you felt so disappointed with your stay. We don't believe that we have ever misrepresented our offering. and have always mentioned in our description that the apartment forms the bottom part of our home and that we live in the wooden top part of house, which was clearly indicated in the second part of the description. We have changed the paragraphs around and now lead with that part of the description, to make sure that it is the first thing one reads. The bushbuck are currently more scarce because there is quite a bit of building activity in the street, which has kept them away from our house, where they often used to come and drink from the water feature in the garden. In fact, the photos of the buck featured in this listing were taken by us in our garden. However, they are certainly to be seen in the area, as are caracal, porcupine and other wildlife, such as wild pigs, observed and caught on camera at night. As far as our name is concerned, since we purchased the house in 2014 and before we began using the apartment as holiday accommodation in 2017, we have referred to it as Brenton Bushbuck Lodge. We hope your experience did not put you off visiting Brenton on Sea again and wish you luck with your next trip. Regards Esmé and Julie.

This little place is a gem. Very comfortable beds and with heating very comfy for winter travellers.

Vyfster verblyf.

Ons is vriendelik ontvang deur Esme, alles gewys en dan ook op 'n uitstappie geneem om kortpad te sien om by die strand uit te kom en ook vertel van heerlike pizzas by die Hotel. Die verblyf het alles en nog meer as wat jy nodig het, die plek is so goed toegerus en so rustig, net jammer ons was op 'n toer en kon net een nag oorbly. Esme, baie dankie vir wonderlike gasvryheid en heerlike verblyf. Ons het 'n kombersie daar vergeet en Esme het ons gekontak om te vra hoe sy kombersie vir ons kan stuur? Dit wil gedoen wees. Baie dankie!

We were kindly received by Esme, shown everything and then also taken on a trip to see a shortcut to get to the beach and also told about delicious pizzas at the Hotel. The accommodation has everything and more than you need, the place is so well equipped and so peaceful, just a pity we were on a tour and could only stay one night. Esme, thank you very much for wonderful hospitality and a lovely stay. We forgot a blanket there and Esme contacted us to ask how she could send us a blanket? It wants to be done.

Perfekte plek vir 'n gesin met kleinkinders en so bekostigbaar.

Brenton Bushbuck Lodge is 'n pragtige, baie bekostigbare tweeslaapkamerhuisie met sy eie ingang aan die onderkant van die hoofhuis, waar die eienaars woon. Eerstens, die eienaars is baie lieflike mense wat ons met ons aankoms baie welkom laat voel het en wat meer as een keer aangebied het om ons die Brenton Seaview te wys. Dit is 'n self-catering huisie wat netjies, skoon en regtig ingerig was met als wat jy sou nodig kry. Met aankoms het daar vir ons 'n ciabatta-broodjie met botter en brie gewag op die tafel. En 'n bottel witwyn in die yskas. Nog klein details wat vasgesteek het by my was die vars laventel en Lindt truffles op die bed. Dit is sulke klein goedjies wat uitstaan. Ek persoonlik verkies 'n self-catering plek omdat ons twee besige seuntjies het wat spasie, oop lug en hardlooparea nodig het, ook vir privaatheid en die vryheid om te kom en gaan op ons eie tyd. Die lodge met sy eie ingang en pragtige tuin was perfek vir hierdie rede, al is dit nie 'n alleenstaande gebou nie het ons steeds ons eie privaatheid gehad om te kom en gaan, en die kinders het die tuin en watervalletjie baie geniet. Brenton self is n pragtige gedeelte langs Knysna, groen bosse waar jy kyk en 'n asemrowende see-uitsig met die mooiste mosaic-werk op al die tafels en banke langs die see-uitsig. Ek kan regtig verstaan hoekom hierdie streek die Garden Route genoem word, want dit is een groot bebosde tuin met huisies wat oral tussen-in uitloer. Pragtige plek met so baie om te doen, ek wil dit definitief weer besoek in die toekoms.

Perfect place for a family with grandchildren and so affordable.

Brenton Bushbuck Lodge is a beautiful, very affordable two bedroom cottage with its own entrance at the bottom of the main house, where the owners live. Firstly, the owners are very lovely people who made us feel very welcome on our arrival and offered to show us the Brenton Seaview more than once. It is a self-catering cottage that was neat, clean and really furnished with everything you would need. Upon arrival, a ciabatta sandwich with butter and brie was waiting for us on the table. And a bottle of white wine in the fridge. Another small detail that stuck with me was the fresh lavender and Lindt truffles on the bed. It's little things like that that stand out. I personally prefer a self-catering place because we have two busy boys who need space, open air and running area, also for privacy and the freedom to come and go at our own time. The lodge with its own entrance and beautiful garden was perfect for this reason, even though it is not a stand alone building we still had our own privacy to come and go, and the children really enjoyed the garden and waterfall. Brenton itself is a beautiful section next to Knysna, green forests where you look and a breathtaking sea view with the most beautiful mosaic work on all the tables and benches along the sea view. I can really understand why this region is called the Garden Route as it is one big wooded garden with cottages peeking out everywhere in between. Beautiful place with so much to do, I definitely want to visit again in the future.

Fantastic.

The ladies of Brenton Bushbuck Lodge go out of their way to make your stay unforgettable and the best that it can be! Our family spent a couple of nights here and it was, without question, the best place we stayed during our trip along the Garden Route. The attention to detail and the small treats laid out for all and the communication prior to arrival were superb and most welcome and appreciated! I would most definitely and unreservedly recommend this place to my friends. Thank you for helping to make special family moments and memories!

Die area is weg van die besige Knysna maar naby genoeg om dit en die toeristedinge daar te geniet.

Ek het die koffie geniet en die klein verrasinkie in die yskas en op die bed. Die huis was goed toegerus en die eienaars baie vriendelik maar nie inmengerig nie. Alles was baie skoon. Jammer die naweek was te kort, sou graag langer wou bly.

The area is away from the busy Knysna but close enough to enjoy it and the tourist things there.

I enjoyed the coffee and the little surprise in the fridge and on the bed. The house was well equipped and the owners very friendly but not intrusive. Everything was very clean. Sorry the weekend was too short, would have liked to stay longer.

Bederfgeleentheid.

Ons het lanklaas 'n plek teëgekom wat so goed toegerus is. Dit is 'n behoorlike bederf - filterkoffie, espresso, WiFi, Netflix, DStv, handdoeke, roosters, kole, voorsiening vir beurtkrag, komplimentêre bottel wyn, melk, selfs knope en naald en gare! Verstommend.

Pampering event.

We haven't come across a place so well equipped in a long time. It's a real treat - filter coffee, espresso, WiFi, Netflix, DStv, towels, grills, coals, provision for load shedding, complimentary bottle of wine, milk, even buttons and needle and thread! Amazing.

The accommodation was perfect. Exactly what we were looking for!

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay at Brenton Bushbuck Lodge. The home was very clean and tidy and I felt safe the entire time. The host actually created a very informative book regarding things to do around the area, places to eat, fun facts and tips, etc. It was awesome to have such an insight when travelling to a new area. The host also told us about a beautiful little trail that leads to a secluded beach which absolutely blew my mind. It was gorgeous and we walked on the trail for sunset. Everything about the home was very organised. Check-in and check-out were easy! Highly recommend the accommodation.

Die verblyf bied uitstekende waarde vir geld in 'n lieflike omgewing.

Brenton Bushbuck Lodge bied uitstekende waarde vir geld. Die wooneenheid is baie goed toegerus en die eienaars (wat op die boonste verdieping woon) is baie hulpvaardig. Dit is geleë in 'n pragtige omgewing met asemrowende see-uitsigte minder as 100 meter van die wooneenheid af. Ons kan dit beslis aanbeveel vir 'n gesin met klein kinders.

Brenton Bushbuck Lodge offers great value for money. The unit is very well-equipped and the owners (who live on the top floor) are very helpful. It is set in beautiful surroundings with breathtaking sea views less than 100 meters from the unit. We can definitely recommend it for a family with small children.
