Crawfords Beach Lodge - Amatola Coastal

Absolutely beautiful. It is a must to visit. Rooms: 4 Service: 4 Location: 4

If there is a 6th Star then I would give it Crawford's. What a stunning Holiday destination. If you ever wanted to break away and feel free and close to nature then Crawford's is a must on your bucket list. Excellent food, beautiful beaches and pools, activities for kids with childminders to ensure your stay is super relaxed at the resort. The resort is nestled in the heart of the Wild Coast with plenty of local activities in close proximity. With Hosts Mark and Lyn Crawford you could not ask for better. Down to earth, caring and hospitable people. With Crawfords one cannot go wrong. Rooms: High Quality Rooms with stunning views Nearby activities: Cintsa Deli, Emeraldvale Brewery, Tea in The Trees and much much more Safety: Guards outside showing one where to park and very safe. Walkability: Surrounded by the most prestine beach Food drinks: Absolutely DEVINE food and BEVERAGE. DELICIOUS, GREAT VALUE AND PERFECTLY SERVED. Noteworthy details: Crawfords is like a big happy family of locals and tourists alike. Most fantastic hosts Mark and Lyn Crawford not to say the staff all friendly and happy. You just want to be there.

The staff has been wonderful, and the food is quite good. The view is stunning. However, our accommodation is nothing like what was advertised. Our family unit is supposed to have 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, along with a large kitchen that’s completely empty. The bathrooms are hardly functional; one can only be accessed by walking over a bed and squeezing through a closet door that can’t be closed from the inside, while the other has broken plumbing. Several windows are stuck shut (one broke when we tried to open it), and others open into a retaining wall beneath a deck, providing no fresh air or sunlight. There’s no fan or air conditioning, contrary to what was promised, and no cable TV as advertised. Overall, the unit is in very poor condition. The staircase leading to the upstairs unit is completely open, offering no privacy and allowing you to hear every footstep.

The staff were friendly, and the view was great. The location is perfect for long walks and swimming, as it's close to the beach. I would rate the rooms a 3, the service a 4, and the location a 4. A highlight of the hotel is its peaceful atmosphere.

I really enjoy the atmosphere! Service: 4 stars Location: 5 stars Hotel highlights: Amazing view.
