Gastvrij ontvangen we werden in de watten gelegd. Niets was te veel voor ze. Mooie kamers Dune Ridge Country House ligt in een natuurreservaat dus eerst door een hek dan over een zandpad kom je op de lokatie.

Stayed for one night in the middle of our Chokka Trail excursion. What a place! Right from our very warm welcome, the incredible rooms, the delicious meals, and the fabulous massage! Every moment was unforgettable.

This is an exceptional country house: authentically traditional, colonial styled oasis in St Francis. From the moment I enquired about the spa treatments I knew this would be a special place - I was told that if there was anything I'd like that was not on the spa list, I must simply say so - Such an accommodating approach So unlike most establishments which won't budge an inch to make your stay more personal. Upon arrival I was taken great care of, and this persisted until I left. What a fantastic staff complement, beautiful establishment and overall lovely stay. I will recommend this place to many people, it is a true country gem. The food is tailored to preference, absolutely delicious and the cook took extra care to make exactly what I preferred, going above and beyond to deliver tasty, homemade meals each day. The greens, herbs and tomatoes from their own garden were so lovely. The home made rusks in the room, the fresh plants in water vases in the bedroom and bathroom, the handmade bath salts are all touches that elevate this experience to a five-star. Can't wait to return.

The Accomadation was splendid and the staff were exceptional, with attention to detail. The breakfasts were scrumptious. Definitely will stay at The Dunes Country Lodge again. Loved our time spent with our family in this special place.
