Kambaku at Sea — Hotel in George

Kambaku@Sea is arguably the best hidden gem in the Sedgefield area. As you take the turn-off from the N2 you start heading up an unpaved gravel road that might at first look a bit daunting, but is actually not too bad. The ending of the gravel road opens up onto a beautiful scenic view of the valley and rivers below. The hotel used to be a house that has been beautifully renovated. A lovely garden with streams flowing through welcomes you in. Most of the rooms take advantage of the beautiful views, but our room (room 5) arguably had the best view. There is also a pool area down the hill (accessible by a staircase) which was awesome, also with a beautiful view. By far one of the highlights for me was when we had dinner with the sun setting over the valley in the background. Also one of the stand out points for us was the amount of bird life, and Bruce (one of the managers) is such an avid birder you can chat with him about everything you have seen and heard. While we were there we were lucky to hear the call of a Fish Eagle quite a few times which is always special. The hotel is also within 10 minutes of the town centre. It is very difficult to put into words what we experienced and not even the photos do Kambaku@Sea justice -all I can really say to summarize is that the hospitality (thank you so much Bruce and Kristen) and the views will take your...

We lived in absolute luxury. Our room was like out of a movie, the views, magical, the food, michellin star quality, the service, out of this world. The staff went out of their way to make our experience extra special as we were celebrating our honeymoon. I cried when I saw this place. They make you feel more than at home and goes above and beyond. We got to explore this beauty for 2 days. Greeted with welcome drinks, in our room we received a personalised welcome letter and champagne. We haven't had something to eat and Tristjan made us a beautiful platter of food to snack on. We got a 3 course meal, set up beautifully in our room. The next morning I was surprised with amazing breakfast on our deck. With each meal we received, which we could choose what we would like, Tristjan made us a customised menu, everything about this place is special and magical in so many ways. if I could give Kambaku at Sea a 10000000 I would. Definitely visiting soon and thank you Kambaku team, we...

What an absolutely beautiful lodge! We could not have asked for a better location, or more exquisite views from the lodge. Bruce and Tristan really went out of their way to welcome us and spoil us, including special welcome notes and an anniversary hamper with champagne, flowers and chocolate. The entire lodge is decorated with such style and attention to detail. Our room was spacious, with luxurious décor, overlooking breathtaking mountains and vlei. We so enjoyed the afternoon kayaking and birding on the Swartvlei, and enjoyed a romantic dinner upon our return. The meals were fantastic, well-presented and so delicious! I can highly recommend Kambaku @ Sea to anyone in need of some TLC or a romantic getaway. Wish we had enough time to swim in the sparkling, new swimming pool… We’ll save that for next time! Thank you so much for your excellent hospitality, Bruce...
