Avolonte means "as much as you like", and the lodge is a place where you can enjoy the serenity and tranquility of a natural paradise. Not only is Avolonte the ideal place for a time of deep-cleansing rest, but it is also a highly sought-after hideaway for honeymoon couples and travellers en route to the Garden Route. Standard features in our cottages include an extra length king-size bed, leather couches, double-sized bath in Squirrels Nest.
Indoor fire places in Squirrels Nest and Gecko Cottage.
Own patio with braai .
Avolonte Lodge is located 45 minutes from Cape Town International Airport, Table Mountain and Robben Island, Avolonte is ideally suited for a quick city breakaway or as a base from which to explore the world-renowned wine routes of Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschoek. Hikers can also choose from an endless number of trails leading to the most amazing mountain pools and waterfalls.
Whether you're a birdwatcher, a nature lover, or just in search of some peace and rest, this is the place for you. We invite you to enjoy an afternoon tea on the verandah in one of our little thatched-roof Cape cottages, surrounded by forests and the high rises of majestic mountains. We regret no pets.
"The advert states that this place is peaceful and a little peace of paradise. Well if it wasn't for the amount that I paid, I would've left the same day. There was nothing peaceful about it. Cars driving on the main road and the dog barking at them or for the train coming by. There is very little privacy. If you have the lights on at night do not try and undress because the blinds are not enough in front of the windows. There are also plus points as well. It is a beautiful place but for that price we expected a bit more."
"what a wonderful quite place<br/>had a great time just to switch off from busy life"
"We booked the River facing cottage and enjoyed a very peaceful evening! There was wood available for the fireplace inside and all the utensils we require was there. Thank you for a lovely stay!"
"<p>Our stay at Avolonte was short but lovely! It is such a peaceful spot and we all slept wonderfully well. Despite the fact that there were four of us, we were all quite comfortable. And the duvets were magic!<br></br><br></br></p><p>Thank you Felicia for sharing this spot of the world with us!</p>"
"Lovely cottage! Spotlessly clean. We'll certainly go back again when visiting Elgin/Grabouw."
"We found it neat, clean and relaxing"
"We stayed for one night as we were attending a wedding in Elgin, and we were very impressed. The room is lovely, with all the amenities we needed for a short stay, the location is central, but still tranquil and private, and the rates are very reasonable!"
"My boyfriend and I stayed in the River's View Cottage and it was fantastic. Comfortable, romantic, lovely clean cottage, with great facilities, beautiful setting, quiet and peaceful. Really recommend this place for a quiet getaway."
"Glen and Feliciano are fabulous hosts and Avolonte is a beautifully quiet and serene spot. Truly lovely."
"Disconcerting to be told that puppy is welcome by manager, then have very unwelcoming reception by owner. Upsetting to receive message accusing my puppy of "going for owners dogs" when he was clearly terrified and ran away. I would not classify the accom as self-catering as it was difficult to prepare anything except cereal, with such limited facilities and utensils. We had to buy toilet paper after one night and had to borrow a can opener!!! Ablutions offer no privacy so would only suit a couple or a young family. I run a 2 bedroomed, self-catering establishment, which sleeps 4, has a fully-equipped kitchenette, pool, full DSTV, wifi, is pet-friendly, serviced, and costs less. ."
"We stayed over night for a wedding in the area and were met with a friendly greeting, we felt at home straight away which was lovely! Our room was perfect with everything we needed. A peaceful and relaxed break away! Thank you Avolonte!"
