    Crags Country Lodge never disappoints. The food is always interesting and delicious, the ambience sublime, and the service excellent. This has to be Plett’s Beat Kept Secret

    All I can say is WOW!!!! What an experience! From the moment we arrived and got out of our car the service was unbelievable! The staff was fantastic especially a young man named Siso. I hope I spelled it correctly. What a gem he is. The food was amazing. I will definitely eat there every time I come to Plett again and recommend it to everyone I know! Well done Crags Country Lodge! 10 stars is not enough.❤️

    Amazing location , great setting and everything was new and polished Unfortunately the food did not live up to its surroundings! The food was not up to a level of a 5 star hotel A very tasteless fish cake served with some lettuce and a very big piece of yellowtail which was cooked well but on a bed of ratatouille A not very edible dessert Amazing service Thow on the other hand
