Welcome to our contemporary Guest House set in its peaceful, tranquil gardens on the edge of Tsitsikamma National Park. Lily Pond is a heaven of space and fresh air, away from the crowd.

Breathtaking views
Lily pond was so beautiful and peaceful, I had the greatest downtime to the property, mouth watering 4 course dinner meal, breakfast scrumptious, staff very friendly.
