    Good morning and thank you and your staff for service excellence and the preparedness to go the extra mile. More than the beauty and magnificent views, the venue is very special, the food lovingly, tastefully prepared and presented (compliments to chef), but the friendliness of the staff, adds to ambience and sense of well being. Thank you so much and I will recommend you to all I know. With gratitude, Judith Kusel

    The friendly and efficient staff were quite outstanding with exceptional attention to detail. A lot of thought went into the set menu. The dishes we were served were of a really high standard. One of us was allergic to the small quail bones and we appreciated the chef checking up on us and offering an alternative. Thanks for a delightful evening.

    My sincere gratitude to the Management and Staff at Crags Country Lodge for hosting my family on the public holiday to celebrate my sister’s 76th birthday. They all thoroughly enjoyed the stunning venue and the views were totally breathtaking. The experience at your restaurant has thus far totally made their holiday in Plett extra special. Thank you again for going more than the extra mile for our family celebration.
