I had an absolutely legendary couple of nights at Moonshine. The cabins were clean and comfortable, while maintaining a rustic charm. I spent a couple of hours at the brand new wood sauna, which was spacious and luxurious.

I can’t wait to come back again with friends!

I don’t even know where to begin, but Moonshine on Whiskey Creek was by far the absolute highlight of all our accommodations during our South Africa trip. After many very busy days, our Bushpig-cabin was exactly what we needed: peace, nature, mountain views, a campfire, and the chance to simply switch off. This place is truly magical, and we only wish our stay had been longer than 4 nights. ☺️

It felt like being in the middle of nowhere, yet everything was just a short drive away. We felt incredibly comfortable, were able to recharge our batteries, watched monkeys playing in the trees from our veranda, and even got engaged at this magical place! It truly couldn’t have been more perfect, and we will definitely stay here again on our next South Africa trip—just for longer next time. 🥰

Spent one night here in Bushpig Lodge and regretted not having booked longer so we could have taken full advantage of the pool and the new sauna which looked great. Lovely clean, well equipped room and nicely decorated lodge with a great deck area with fantastic views and in a great location just outside Plettenberg Bay.|Would highly recommend

Beautiful, private chalet with an awesome view in the forest. So nicely decorated with everything we needed for the weekend. Perfectly located close to the wine farms and 10 minutes from Plett. Nice swimming pool and sauna. Very friendly hosts that made us feel so welcome. I really enjoyed the built in gas braai on the balcony.

We stayed here just after getting engaged. Honestly, it's the MOST MAGICAL and incredible place ever! We hiked to the waterfall below the cabins and swam under the waterfall. Fireflies danced around us in the darkness as we braai'd and Moonshine is a hidden gem in the forest. The sauna is also world class! We felt so so calm after staying here and loved it so much, we ended up buying the place, moving there and starting a family. Moonshine has changed our lives forever and we will be forever grateful. Come see what we discovered! x

We absolutely love Moonshine on Whiskey Creek! As a family, we first stayed at Butterfly Garden Cottage (the “orange house” as my children called it) 15 years ago, and it’s always held a special place in our hearts. Last month, I took two of my now-teenage children back for a 3-day stay, and we enjoyed it even more than before.||||The new additions are wonderful — the swimming pool and sauna are perfect for relaxing, and my children spent countless happy hours in the brand-new sauna. We were also delighted to see the beautiful renovations on Butterfly Cottage, especially the lovely French doors opening onto the refurbished patio — such a peaceful spot to sit and listen to the forest sounds.||||We also took the walk down the trail to Whiskey Creek, which was magical. It was a truly relaxing and refreshing time surrounded by nature, and we will definitely be back soon! ❤️

Very spacious house and a lovely stay. Our children also loved it and all the board games in the cupboard were a real bonus! The cottage feels fresh and welcoming and is very original. …

Incredible spot! New owners have recently upgraded an already magical property (the pics online don’t yet show the renovations, so expect a very pleasant surprise!). Perfect base to explore the area. Don’t miss out on the private waterfall hike. We went for a couples’ getaway but this place would be kid heaven for sure.

Peace and quiet amongst a forest of trees. Beautiful redecorated chalet! It’s so inviting, cozy, and homely. Stunning view over the tops of the trees. Individual stands per chalet ensures privacy! Could live here forever. Our hosts were amazing 👏
