Description

More magic has been added to the Garden Route where we have re-constructed a typical Cape Village of the past, and where old traditions of warmth and hospitality thrive side-by-side with all the comforts of the modern day. This major revamp enticed us to re-name the “old” Tsitsikamma Forest Inn, the Protea Hotel Tsitsikamma Village Inn . This historic South African hotel has served as a stop-over for travellers for more than a century. Visitors can delve into the past and select their home in a typical Cape Village.

This unique village reflects all colonial building styles that can be found in South Africa’s famous garden route. You can opt for a sojourn in the imposing Cape Dutch style, the Drostdy or the Landdrost’s (magistrate’s) house, or you can choose to stay in one of the charming Victorian forester’s cottages, in a quaint fisherman’s cottage or a simple Karoo Pastorie (pastor’s home) with its deep stoep and sash windows, a humble barn, a honeymoon room, or rustic log homes for the more adventurous. Each cottage has its own individual garden that matches the specific style of gardening reminiscent to each individual colonial building style. Each room is tastefully decorated in the appropriate style for the period.

This unusual “Village Square” was the concept of the well-known Martin Ratray and has added a new dimension to the air of tranquillity and peaceful atmosphere for which this family-owned hotel is so well known internationally.

All guests are welcome to savour the comfort and atmosphere of the main building, which traces its roots back to 1845. In the building you’ll find a spacious dining room, incorporating the De Oude Martha Restaurant, the Hunter’s Inn Pub and Guest Lounge. The comfortable, old-world atmosphere of the lounge is enhanced by the various musical collectables that decorate the room. The adventure company next door, Storms River Adventures, often combine with the Inn to provide a really memorable holiday or conference and team-building experience.

 The Tsitsikamma Village Inns unique history, design and charm offers travellers a break from the rat race and chaotic lifestyles of our time. Stay where weary travellers have stayed for well over a century and step back to a time when the pace of life was still slow.

Nestled in the Tsitsikamma, on the edge of the Storms River Village, lies the Inn. As you enter the shady trellised walkway, you will feel like you have stepped back in time. You emerge amidst a charming collection of old Southern Cape dwellings, Mid Victorian “broekielace” cottages, a double storey Vicarage, Cape Dutch dwellings; Arniston Fishing Cottages and Karoo-Georgia townhouses surround the Village Square.
