Villa Villekula — Hotel in George

In Nov. 2018 we spend two nights at the Villa Villekulla B&B (and gorgeous dinner). ||(there is a misspelling in the title - ViLLekulla with „double l“) |||The eco-friendly Villa is situated at the N2 next to Plettenberg Bay and offers four different theme rooms (Nov. 2018). |All with an separate bathroom/toilet inside.|Equiped with vintage/refurbished furniture you enter another world, full of an eye for the detail and filled with harmony ;).|New beds (single, double or king size) setting the the basement for the relaxing rest. ||A huge terrace offer a great view over the lake. |Three dogs and one donkey run around and make you feel stepping out of the rush.||Daniela and Wil want to leave an small footstep on our planet. That‘s why the Villa is self-sufficent and produces the needed energy by themselves, as well as the use of natural water ressources.||The whole house was clean and well treated and we had fantastic meals offered by Daniela and Wil. |The Breakfast is a la carte and the dinner is optional (it’s absolutely recommendable). |Breakfast and dinner is served in the same room. ||Hard fact’s:|- W-Lan is available|- enough parking space is on the site|- follow the address on the homepage / use the GPS coordinates / there is a sign next to the street (N2) which shows where you need...

Times are tough, I get it, but don't shoot yourself in the foot!||||I booked a two night stay here via booking.com but after establishing that a trip was unlikely we cancelled. Booking.com listing for this place is confusing as, it has two different policies - 1 states that they will contact you before they charge as money, the other says you'll pay up front for the total price of the stay.||||Neither were true, we ended up paying a fully refundable deposit for 1 night. I waited 15 days (which is Booking.com's policy) then called them to notify them that I hadn't been refunded, they tried multiple times to call them and they never answered. After doing a chargeback, I wasn't expecting to hear from them again and then out of the blue an email was received to say that they had now processed a refund - 1 month after it should have been received.||||Sadly for me the damage was done, I was threatened with the words "you are lucky to be receiving a refund"! My booking was a fully refundable one, thanks. ||||Won't be rebooking or advising anyone to stay here. Good luck if this is how you...

Overall a very unique experience.

They have a lot of old decor that's been well kept , throughout the lodgings.

Each room has a theme , ours was called captain so was to do with things to do with the sea. Overall the old style is certainly different but it's a pleasant experience.

They are completely off the grid so no load shedding at all.

Dinner 🍽️ was a lovery oxtail buffet style and was very good as the hosts are the ones cooking the food and they really put a lot of love into each dish. Breakfast 🥞🍳 was just as taste.

The lodge itself is surrounded by green wilderness and is very relaxing as you are completely in the country side with views of the mountains 🌄 they also have a small lake which added to the bliss.

They do have a few dogs 🐕🐶 and chicken 🐔 also 2 donkeys 🐴 they are all quite friendly and well looked after.

So overall definitely worth a stop over as it is something different and the owners who host you and cook make...
