Rainforest Ridge Eco Resort

Beautiful surrounding, serene and breathtaking view. The bungalows are small but have everything you need and are clean. Benny is super friendly, cooked us delicious breakfast in the morning, was very flexible and gave us great tips for the area and more. It was an absolute pleasure staying with him!

The only negative thing is that I could mention is that some equipment and facilities within the bungalows and outside would need some fixing or update, e.g the curtains weren’t functional. Overall it’s easy to overlook that compared to the awesome rest.

Rainforest Ridge Eco Resort is a wonderful place to relax. Wonderful surroundings and a host, so charming and generous.

Everything was fantastic!the views, the cabin, the host...we were deligthed!!

I would describe this place as a "back packers" stay. While the wonderful owner, in his thirties, is doing a good job to create an eco encampment on the edge of a beautiful gorge, it's a place recommended for those under about 45. The focus is on a place to gather and sometimes party for locals as well as travelers. Benny is well loved by the local villagers. If you are very fortunate, he will take you into the native village for a once in a life time experience. There is a new swimming pool.

Our tiny cabin was adequate for a place to sleep and there was an outside toilet sink and shower, but it was not sealed completely. This allowed access by insects. The only other facilities for those staying in the cabins are located in a central communal area created out of two shipping containers with an outside cement pad covered by a hug ceiling canvas. In this area there is a shared fridge, lounge area, tables, a crude kitchen and braai area. There is WIFI only in this area.
